Great story. I am a pushover also. I totally understand the mixed emotions. It’s great to do what you can, when you can. As you learned it’s also alright to say No. Your empathetic default is to be admired and respected. I don’t have any answers, but if you error on the side of love and compassion every time. Your soul rejoices and God smiles. As you love your neighbor as yourself, God counts it as a loan to him. I enjoyed the article very much.
