Have Been on the Phone Most of the Day

My cousin called earlier today. We talk often. But today she needed someone to listen. So I volunteered. Her daughter is having issues and does not want to get them taken care of. She was frustrated more than anything. It seems the more she suggests things for her to do, she will do the opposite. A rebellion type of attitude it seems. I gave her a few suggestions when asked, but mostly listened. She cried and then we need the conversation laughing. I hope I helped. We all need someone we can vent to in life.

I know your cousin appreciated having you as a caring listener. We don't always have all the answers, but we can listen.

Sometimes someone really needs a hearing aid to bring out the fresh taste in his heart and it will definitely be better than silence.

I'm sure that you helped her. Hopefully she takes some of what you said to heart and acts on it. Harmony can go a long ways in a family.
