Healing

Humans heal from a variety of things - physical wounds, emotional wounds, traumatic experiences. Band-aids are helpful for healing physical wounds, but for most other things you need people to be your band-aid.

Just as a band-aid covers your wound to help it heal, a supportive friend or family member gives you kind words and deeds to help you heal emotionally. A band aid sticks with you during your healing, and so do the people who care for you. Without those people, healing would be much harder and take a longer time. Some wounds are so great that you need something to aid the process, whether it's a cast or your best friend in the world. Sometimes you can't do it all on your own.

And, just like a band-aid, if you remove your healing helper, it hurts!
