My Wonderful Support System

Support.......for me it means to have people to lean on through good times and bad.  To have people be there for you to turn to when advice or guidance is needed.  I believe that I have a wonderful support system.  I have wonderful friends that I have stayed in contact with since I was 5 years old.  I also have my dad, step-mom, grandmother, sister, brother-in-law, and my niece who all live in the same town as I do.  They are there for me whenever I need them, even if it is for silly things.  My main support is at home with my fiance.  He is there for me through every single thing.  He pushes me to achieve things I never thought I could.  He is the main one that I lean on.  He is my match and I would be lost without him. 

If I didn't have anyone in my life that I could lean on, I probably would not have gotten as far in life as I have.  I am not a perfect person by far, I have made many mistakes.  So without those who have been there for me, I probably would not have overcome a lot of those mistakes.  My fiance is the one that holds me up when I want to fall.  He makes me challenge myself and helps me to live a happy and complete life.

The challenge that I would have to pick is becoming a mom.  My fiance and I are wanting a family of our own and we have faith that it will happen when the time is right.  However, it still scares me.  I often wonder if I will be a good mom, and if I can handle everything that involves.  My fiance knows my feelings and has told me that I am not alone and we will be doing this together.  That makes me stronger.  Besides that I have my family and his wonderful family who will be there for us whenever we need them.  My step-mom is excited for us to add to the mix, and my mother-in-law can't wait.  I have 2 very strong women in my life that will be there for me to turn to.  Without that support system, I probably wouldn't even try.

I am absolutely grateful for all that I have in my life and I look forward to what the future has in store for me because I know I won't be alone.
