an impossibly hard task

an impossibly hard task - that i wouldn't dream of not doing.
i've been sitting here thinking about it for a little while and i began to think "does the fact that i -can- do this, despite the emotional/mental/physical demands it places on me, mean that i could PERHAPS be growing, maturing.. even if only a little bit?"
yeah. right.
but i'll continue because it's the right thing to do. because she'd do it.
but mostly? simply because it's her.
the bottom line is that this task helps her at work. period. that's really all that matters.
never mind that, on a more immediate basis, it allows her more time to spend with her lover before she goes away for a couple weeks. weeks during which she won't get to see him, and she needs to see him before she leaves. 
it helps her at work. it reduces her stress in a stressful time - THAT's what matters. her lover will be there no matter what and she will see him no matter what.
it helps her. makes it easier for her. that's all that counts.
