Support means to maintain a person, family, institution, etc. with the necessities of existence or to provide for. On a daily basis, I receive emotional support, practical support, physical support and sometimes monetary support. Receiving support means a lot because it makes you feel that you are cared for and appreciated. When I'm at work, I get frustrated sometimes and my assistant teacher is there to provide me with kind words to lift me up. When I'm at home, my hubby provides me with practical, emotional, physical and monetary support. He helps me with our baby, household chores, help pay the bills and his duties as a husband. I also receive support from my parents. They give me emotional support and sometimes they give me monetary support to purchase things for my son. Those are their grandparent duties. :-) Without all of these people supporting me, I wouldn't be the person that I am today. I also have great friends who give me emotional and preactical support especially when I came home from the hospital with my new baby. They were very supportive. They came over and cooked for my hubby and I and they asked did my baby have everything that he needed. That made me love them even more because it means a lot to have help when you can do anything for yourself.
When I first got married, six months later my hubby was laid off. I was so stressed because we had to go into our savings. When my mom and dad found out, they begin to help us out tremendously by giving us money to pay bills,etc. This was a great challenge because I didn't want them to help but we needed their help. They helped until my hubby went back to work. We are so grateful to have great parents and in-laws. Support is somthing that I've always shown anyone around me whether they are a stranger or relative. I always provide encouraging words to people. Being supportive is a great thing and I love when I can be supportive to someone.
