You can be selfish about it. I'm glad I'm here to help, and you know I'm here to be a sounding board if you need one. People tell me I've got that zen thing going on. ;)
Just remember that I'm here, that we're all here, and that it's not all on you, Alpha or not. No one should do any of this by themselves, not when we're all here and willing to help. With Isaac, it's really just been doing homework together and that sort of thing, trying to help him see that he's useful and has worth and deserves to be happy. But still, I promise to remember that! And you have to promise to remember that I'm always available to tag in too.
