Default Responsibility

I have a responsibility to those I love....

To be loving, patient, considerate, and kind;

To be loyal, respectful, and honest;

To be appreciative, encouraging, and comforting;

To share myself and care for myself.

To be the best possible "Me".

BUT

I am not responsible for them...

Not for their achievements, successes, or triumphs;

Not for their joy, gratification, or fulfillment;

Not for their defeats, failure or disappoints;

Not for their thoughts, choices, or mistakes.

And not for their suicide.

For had I been responsible

This death would not have occurred.

I'm glad you're still with us dnserror...missed you. We are leaving this morning for a trip downstate to visit old friends, relax and have a bit of red wine and hopefully no Whine.

Thank you Lara...you helped more than you'll ever know.
