No matter what you have going on in your life...you need a witness. Someone who is the holder of your history besides you. Someone who can remind you from time to time how far you have come...either on the way up or possibly on the way back down.
They tend to remember things that you may have forgotten. It's extremely important if you are having a rough time. They can pull out examples you have forgotten about challenges long pasted that you dealt with. Those examples can help keep you moving through the one you are facing now.
They are part cheerleader and part historian. (Pom-poms always optional!)
And as they stand beside us ... we in turn serve the same role for them. We witness, we remember, we remind them. We stand still besides each other and face the same direction. There is a comfort in knowing someone has that history. Every word doesn't have to be said, every action explained. They just know and so do we.
There is strength in numbers as we move towards our dreams. Even if that number is only two.
