Have you ever realised the power of being there? It can be such a simple thing… to be somewhere for someone. Maybe you show up for some sporting event, and your nephew sees you in the crowd, supporting them. Or maybe you go visit some family that you haven’t been too in awhile, even though you don’t really feel like it.
If I look back at moments in my life, I realise that the simple ability of making the effort to be somewhere can mean so much, and doesn’t always take that much!
I was reminded of this “power” over the weekend. My brother made if over to my neck of the country on his way to a business trip. He has a sore back at the moment, and it would have been easy to either: a) cancel his trip, or b) get in and out for his trip. However he made that extra effort, and we got to have a really nice time just hanging out together.
Thanks to everyone who has made that little effort for me in the past, and I hope I will do the same for you.
Cheers,
Dion
