Day 16: What does it mean to be there for another?

What does it mean to relate and to be there for someone? To be there for their upliftment, to be there to nurture them, to be there as a witness, to be there as an admirer, as a lover...

To be non-judgmental and accepting.
To listen. To really listen.
To rejoice when they rejoice and mourn when they mourn.
To carry them during the times that can't take another step.
To love them unconditionally.
To look for ways to light them up.
To show your delight in them.
To be present with them, and walk with them on their journey.
To acknowledge their accomplishments.
To encourage them after their failures.
In all ways to facilitate them becoming more themselves.
To be generous and giving.
To give them freedom and not pin them down with expectations.
And over all these things, more love, love, love.
