When we talk about pillars, we think about the columns that hold up a building. They support the building from falling. The word “pillar” has multiple meanings. Other than supporting a building, a pillar can be people or thing provides a reliable support for someone or something. Well, first and for most, my strongest and greatest pillar in my life is the God Almighty. I believe he sends people into our lives to be our pillars.
The timing couldn’t have been more perfect when these women have been sent into my life. I’m the only girl and the youngest of 2 brothers. I never had a little sister. I’m thankful for these women, my cousins. Hazel (left) and I met for the first time back in December when I visited the Philippines. We bonded instantly. We were able to engage in deep conversations about life, the best conversations to have!
Ivy (right) and I met when I was in high school and she was a little girl. We reconnected in December and boy how it’s interesting when you see yourself in another person. She’s like my “junior”… I like to call her my inner spirit animal, hahaha! She’s everything I keep hidden away. This is why I admire her, she’s brave and fierce!
So the three of us have something in common. We are the youngest of our siblings! I think that’s probably why we latched together so quickly and so well. These girls have been an amazing support in my life. They are accepting and nonjudgemental. They gave me a better appreciation for family. It’s important to have the support of your family. Especially through the struggles that we face. They are the 2 pillars that I lean on constantly to stay up and afloat as I navigate this special expedition called life.
