Are you a fortunate person to have someone in your life who cares for you? And I don’t mean care in the sense it is commonly used. But who cares for you like your mother used to when you were a child? I mean we are all grown-up persons now. So Does that imply that we don’t need anyone to take care of us? Don’t we need someone to ask you if we are ok? And then to try and make us comfortable? Don’t we need someone who knows what we like and then to arrange for it? Don’t we need someone who will put balm on our aching legs? Who will smother us with love, when we feel lonely?
Don’t you want someone to just come and sit beside you and talk to you in silence? Don’t you need someone who will make you cry, because you want to, but can not because you are an adult? Don’t you feel that you need someone in front of whom you can cry your heart out? And be sure that someone will wipe your tears? Or because we are adults now, such things can’t be done anymore?
Even if one feels extreme pain of any kind, one can cry either in church or all alone in a park… We are adults. But there is a child in all of us. We are fighters, but sometimes we lose the battles. We can bear every pain, but sometimes the pain can overcome our capacity. We all need a person in our life, who can be our mother, even if we are eighty years old. Who can understand that we need care. We wish to be pampered. We want someone to take our face in lap and comfort us. Yes, we can deny all this, but we need someone who cares for us.
All of us need a person who takes our care. If we are allowed to cry, if we are made to speak about all our troubles, if we are pampered to relax us, we will feel heavenly. But unfortunately we are all adults. These essentials of living are for kids. For adults, it is a corner in their homes or in the office, where they can sit and worry and show to the world that they are adults.
If you have tired, aching legs but are not sure if you need to see your GP, your pharmacist can be a good source of advice. He or she can talk to you about your symptoms, when they are worse, and can suggest some lifestyle changes or compression stockings or support tights that could help. If they think your condition needs to be checked out, they will advise you to visit your GP.-.*`
