Today I missed my train.  Which would not be a big deal on a normal day, but today I ended up taking the last train home.  I had to wait an hour and a half  for that train.   I started to think, who could I call to give me a ride home (since I now live in 30 minutes south of Boston) on a snowy night. And I came to a sad realization, there was no one.  
The weird thing is that I have a lot of people in my life.  I have a bunch of friends and a few family members very close.  And as I thought about who would actually come out in the snow if I asked, I was overcome with great sadness.  No one, a friend who I thought would go above and beyond simply made an excuse and that was that. 
I am always there when someone is in need.  I go out of my way most of the time to accommodate them and yet, when I am in need none of those people are there for me.  How utterly sad and depressing.  Now that is something to think about long and hard as I move forward.  Who will be there for me?
