Good Relationships are a lot like walking; one partner steps up, then the other - supporting each other during life's little trials - moving forward in combined strength and love. Long distance relationships seriously challenge that notion, since lovers cannot be there for each other when unexpected difficulties arise.
So, what brought that on? I think I should have met my partner-in-crime before today. In order to walk, I need crutches or a scooter. Today, I'm IMMOBILIZED in a Catch 22 situation: My new scooter is ready to be put in the trunk of my car, but my old scooter is still there, all boxed up - waiting to be taken to the UPS store. I can't carry it, plus I need packing tape to seal it. Unfortunately, I can't walk into a drug store to buy the tape because the rubber tip of my crutch just popped from overuse, making it dangerously slippery on hard floors. It's down to the metal. I need a new crutch, but can't go to Kaiser for a replacement because I can't get my scooter into the car. Oy vey!
This is why we are better in Twos. I'm usually the strong one. Not today. I have three different friends helping out with separate portions of my dilemma, but wouldn't it be lovely to roll over in the morning and ask, "Honey, could you please help me today?" It makes me smile to think about it, knowing how good it would feel to reciprocate.
