for handholding and for friends

I'm grateful that Elizabeth has a husband who will hold her hand when she needs it. Especially when she needs it but doesn't ask for it. I'm grateful that her husband is my friend, too. Because I know they'd both hold my hand -- one on either side of me -- if I really needed it.

I'm grateful I don't need it right now :)

I'm happy my friend, SP, is coming to visit me next week. Over the 20 years of our friendship, she's held my hand, kicked my butt and held my head (while I was sick). She's my sister, in all ways except biologically.
