My friends, they do a lot for me and though I know
that I often times ask a lot of them just as I do with my parents, I wonder how I can momentarily help them back, to return the favor, in a more than meaningful way.. unlike something so not as sentimentally invaluable as a free treat to a slurpie. Sometimes when I am encountered with one of these times when I can actually hear them out when they have personal problems that they very rarely choose to share with me, I worry that even after listening about their problem, it is not enough. I wish that I can say something that can reassure them about their situation, to relieve them of the problem, yet I am worried about how I might be giving the wrong answer not due to lack of sympathy but lack of understanding, empathy, or true experience of the situation. I am afraid that I might say something wrong, although..
Wouldn’t it be better to do something even more than just listening? Is there not something I can say or do to help my friends when they really need it?
