Inevitably as time passes and you lose the ability to complete certain tasks, you must ask for help. It can be difficult to fully appreciate the help you receive from friends, family, and those around you because you truly do not want their help. Whether it is carrying a hot cup of coffee, or lending a hand on uneven ground, you wish like hell that you could do it yourself, the way it used to be, the way it is for everyone else. The lack of control can cause a level of frustration that is difficult to imagine, and equally difficult to hide.
But remember the kindness of those around you. Remember to thank those who help. They may brush it off with a "No Problem" or similar response, but to you it's a big deal. Be sure to voice your appreciation. Make sure their compassion doesn't go unnoticed. Like it or not, sometimes you need their help.
