magic wands

Sometimes when I'm supporting mums I warn them that I won't be bringing a magic wand. It would be nice if I could "fix" things for people sometimes. When my girly was not well it would have been nice to make everything better for her in an instant. I purchased lots of lemons and kept plying her with fluids, so had a good attempt at helping, but really all I could do was be there.
And of course that's how it is. No-one has a magic wand. But we do get to be there. Even that can be hard - it's hard to stay present when someone is unwell, or unhappy. And the being there isn't always physical. I still remember gladly the friend who sang, in a different country, whilst I was having my operation last year. I have friends who I know are there for me even tho we go months without speaking. Sometimes tho I hanker for a commune with all my friends right there always!!! And sometimes I long for that magic wand.
Today I need to make a phonecall I'm dreading* but it will probably be fine, it usually is.
Whatever it is you need today, I hope you find it in abundance.

*am waiting for him to call back, prolonging the agony, but the secretary bloke seemed very reassuring, "oh i wouldn't worry about that" :) Meanwhile I'm tackling a paperwork mountain on a search and rescue mission - very grateful that spotify is working this week unlike recently, so I can singalong whilst hunting. I paid for a download of the Children in Need track so it's morally ok to listen to it on spotify I presume? No luck finding the lost statements so far, tho I've made the overhang less treacherous.
Maybe my missing bank statements are in my in tray?
