During the course of a lifetime, we all make mistakes. And, we often take for granted what we have, either thinking we 　　 　　 what we already have, or believing we will never need anyone to 　　　　 us.

At the end of the term I had planned to find 25  living place, since the daughter was to 26  home. To my delight, they 27  that I share a room with their son. I seemed to have been adopted into their 28  —her people. I 29  accepted the offer.

As I emptied the daughter’s bedroom, I thought it might be 30  to have a little sister to look after. But when I later met my new sister, I 31  that she was more independent than I first 32 .

We finally feel in love, 33 , and have looked after each other for many years. There have been times that life turned out more 34  than either of us could have known. But we have always been able to go 35  largely because we knew that we are deeply 36  .

It isn’t about marriage …it’s about 37 . It’s about mothers and fathers, sisters and brothers and special friends who are as 38  as family. It’s about anybody who can say, “I’ll be 39  —you can count on me. I’ll try to look after you and sometimes I will need you to look after me.”

Is there somebody you can depend on? And are others counting on you? We travel the path of life best when there is  40  to look after, and when someone is looking after us.
