Family is like a pile of stones

The family is like a pile of stones. Remove one, and the whole structure can collapse. Your family is the building blocks of your life and if you remove them then you will be a different person. If one stone and in this case family member falls you have to be there for them to build themselves back up to be a rock again. You have to wait for them to figure out how to join other tiny rocks to make themselves a stone again. Which means you have to help them but let them learn from their mistakes and failures. You will not be a pile of stones with just one rock you have to be in a pack of stones. You also have to know that every stone is different and everyone is different and that is what makes a family.

When my mom went to England for work for a few days, let’s just say that the structure collapsed a bit. She is the backbone of our family, she is the organizer, the leader and the biggest supporter of everyone in my family. Not having a piece of your family is like waking up late in the morning. It is an awful feeling that no likes to experience. I felt like my world was collapsing and it was hard to do things. Having the feeling of the unknown is also a scary thought that I am sure everyone has felt at least once in their life.

 Your structure is your family and when your structure of stone is being messed with it could make you fall and possibly break. But you must find a way to get back in the pile and back with your others stones to make a pile. Once you’re in the pile you have that security back in your life and you have the feeling of safety and trust in the other stone (family members) that you will not fall, but if you do they will be there to catch you.

The stones represent your family members and when they are in a pile that represents your family as a whole. With them not in a pile your family is out of sorts or if one stone is missing it doesn’t make it a complete pile. Also, that means that your stone could collapse and fall apart, then you have to find a way to fix the pile and restore the stones. Overall, your family should be your pile of stones and never fails to collapse.
