My Journey With God, No. 139

I’m beginning to think I’m that female family member who takes care of everyone when they’re sick. You know, the older auntie in the family everyone calls on whenever there’s a need for someone to sit with the sick and shut-in. I think I’m that person.

Thinking back, it didn’t recently start with my parents getting older and their health declining. It began ages ago. I’ve always been the person who doesn’t panic under pressure. The person who’s not afraid of blood. The person who makes sure others remain calm while the nurses or doctors perform their job. The person who’s had to deliver bad news to family members. I’ve been the end-of-life person.

I used to ask, “God, why me?”

I’m beginning to come to terms with the fact that this is part of my purpose. I’m a nurturer and caregiver. It’s who I was created to be.

Blessed to be a blessing.♥️
