While I was watching "The Avatar" couple of days ago, it got me thinking about the roles that we play in each other’s lives. I made an allusion to myself that I need my kid sis like I need air. “Who are your earth and water?” Good question. Let’s take inventory, shall we?Air - Dolls, obviously. I can’t breathe without her. I would die without her. And yet I think I take her for granted sometimes.
Earth - Dad. The firm foundation on which I stand. The one who holds me up and keeps me from sinking.
Wind - Mom. She keeps me up and flying, takes me where I need to go, and keeps me floating when I can no longer soar.
Water - NiGil ,he keeps me honest and young, keeps me guessing. He reminds me that I’m not invincible, and makes me feel small (in a good, grounding way)
Fire - Dee sparks my imaginations, comforts me, and I shine in his light. He helps me grow and makes me smile every day. He dries up the rain and warms me.
Trite? Maybe. Corny? Yeah. But this is how I see these people in my life. I need them all to survive. If I lost any of them, I would be an incomplete and inoperable person. I wish that I could find words adequate to express to these people how they have impacted my life and what I would give up for them if I had to. There is nothing I wouldn’t do for any of them, and I’m the luckiest person alive to have them all in my life.
