When were you last completely dependent on someone?

This is in Response to the Questions and Reflections for January 21, 2009:
It has been a very long time since I was completely dependent on someone. I would say it was my mother, but when I lived at home I was an active part of helping with housework and my brother and sister.
I am dependent on my husband right now, but not completely. We both work to bring in money. I do the housework (because I want to) and he helps.
I believe that you should never be whole dependent, nor should you be expected to be independent. Life is easier, happier, and more complete when you have someone you can trust helping you through it. I take comfort in knowing that if i ever need to be completely dependent, I have many wonderful people in my life helping me.

It is very hard to find people who will help you thru the hardest of times. It is true that no one is ever completely independent. To be able to live comfortably is the dream of all men. That you have apparently found that dream gives hope and inspiration to us all.
