Response to the Daily Post prompt: Carry

My first thought reading this word was “You’re not heavy, you’re my brother”.  That shows my age.  The second thing that came to mind was the small child sitting on the floor “playing” with sticky blocks.  He is almost ten.  Why is he “satisfied” to do this?  Because he’s in an active timeout.  As an adult, we sometimes have the difficult privilege of caring for a child.  This stage of development will pass, they always do.  As a family we carry each other often.  That is one of the definitions of family with us, carrying each other when needed.  The last few years I’ve needed a lot of help, but there is always someone to lift me.
