Today I want to write about a very special group of people. Lyle is a member of this club. Often the members of this group are unnoticed – even seemingly invisible. Yet, people like myself would struggle without them. They are our care givers – the people who support us on a daily basis. They perform this service with unselfish generosity. I want to thank the members of this group. I especially want to thank Lyle. My life over the past years would have been very different without his support. As the song goes, he is indeed the wind beneath my wings.
While some organizations have formal groups to support people who support others, many care givers work in the background. When I look around my own circle of friends, I see many caring people who give so much of themselves. If you too know of a special person who is caring and supporting someone else, I hope that you would be able to take the time to recognize that effort. I try to say thank you whenever I can. For instance, right now I would like to recognize my son-in-law who has faithfully managed the posting of this blog ever since I began it in 2011. Thank you, Andrew!
There is a picture with this post. Perhaps it will give you a hint as to what I will write about next. In the picture, Lyle and I are standing at our front door. We have our backpacks and there is a big red suitcase on the ground in front of us. I am holding a white support cane. Are these enough clues for you to guess the subject of my next post?
