My "Go To" Person

Got back from a wonderful vacation in Florida visiting family on Tuesday.  Wednesday morning was spent vacuuming up pet hair, laundry, unpacking, you know the usual.  I was taking out the garbage and went out the back door.  As I was coming back into the house, I tripped and fell against the open door, still not sure what I hit exactly, but, I split my lip in the process.  My first concern was my teeth, until I put my hand up to my mouth and felt wetness, which I immediately knew was blood.  Went into the bathroom to check and sure enough, my lip was split.  After getting some ice, I immediately called my "go to" person, my sister, Peg. (My husband wasn't home at the time).  I wasn't sure if I needed medical attention and asked her to come over (she practically lives in my backyard).  She didn't hesitate, didn't change her shoes, didn't even bring the car!!  She got to my house in less than 5 minutes!  Peg took me to the hospital and I got stitches and  blah, blah, blah.  Peg and I are there for each other, no matter what, even when we disagree!  It is such a comforting feeling to have someone who accepts me for me, the good, bad and right now, the ugly!!  (She told me this morning, my lip isn't even noticeable.....such a liar!!)  We are very fortunate to live so close to each other and are very thankful that we can.   I hope you have a "go to" person, and if it happens to be your sister, call her.   She's waiting to hear from you.
