Relationships
show up for someone
be there to support someone
If you show up for someone, you are present and support them when they need you.
Hear it in real life
I was nervous before my surgery.
My brother showed up for me and stayed until I went in.
My best friend always shows up for me when I need advice.
The mistake everyone makes
Not: She showed up ‸ me when I was having a hard time.
Say: She showed up for me when I was having a hard time.
In this supportive meaning, use "for" after "show up."
