Someone To Remind You

David just called to ask me if I was upset at him because he didn't want to go to Claudia's dinner. I told him no. He said he will come.

He said he was really frustrated with his studying. I gave him some pep talk. Told him to listen to his own advice and be positive. I said he could do anything and that it will all be over soon. He said he needed someone to remind him that sometimes. I told him that's what I was there for. I want to be there for him, the way he is for me.

I could tell he felt a lot better by the end of our conversation. The tension in his tone had gone and there was a smile in his voice.

And I feel better too.
