Nearly every famous TV character had a sidekick. That one figure that was with the hero through thick and thin, always in support, but never quite receiving the same attention or credit. The Lone Ranger had Tonto. Batman had Robin. Lucy Ricardo had Ethyl Mertz. Fred Flintstone had Barney Rubble. Andy Taylor had Barney Fife.
It takes loyalty, humility and trust to be a sidekick. Someone who gets genuine joy by helping others achieve happiness. Someone who doesn’t care if the spotlight shines brightly on the other person, leaving them in the dark. A true sidekick’s reward will be in eternity.
Be the Robin to somebody’s Batman. God knows who the real stars are.
You always have the best ideas/advice/outlook. Many thanks.
Thank you so much Helen.
