Doing things for others.

:D You took the words right out of my mouth C’est Moi !

Although I did cut someone’s toe nails once .....
 

I put my kids first while raising them, at great cost to myself. I would do it again, although I'd do it differently in terms of applying what I learned about raising kids last time, the theoretical next time around. And I wouldn't lose my own personal self in the process.
 
helping friends any time they needed me during good and bad times.
Its why these same friends I consider my "Buffalo family' since my siblings live elsewhere.I would be lost if these people were not in my life Sue
 
Let's see, "for others"? The only "other" I can think of is my wife. No doubt about it, my wife and her "other" would be me.

Now……..that's a marriage!
 
Helped convince MIL to sell her home, which gave her enough $$$$ to afford the outstanding seniorcare facility she ended up living in (after 7 yrs with us). She loved it there, to her surprise, and was very happy afterwards that she made the move.

I was also the driver in getting her to move there, because her refusal to deal with her dementia was stressing out her son, my DH, and affecting HIS health.

He's already had one stroke; I was not going to allow him to have another one because of her denial to face reality.
 
The last 6 months of my Mom's life was very stressful for her. She had colon cancer which spread to her liver and then brain. She also had a colostomy. She was very much aware of what was going on. Hopefully I helped her through this until the end. She died peacefully at home which is what she wanted.
 
I think I helped my own daughter as much as I could during her formative years, though it is very doubtful she fully appreciates this (as I didn't when my mother told me she'd done her best for me).

As far as anyone else I might have helped in some way, maybe not much to tell but I do think I'm a fairly kind person so maybe this goes some way to helping those I meet (though I'm not over generous in any way I admit).
