Victoria Island

I've never been, but apparently the trees on Victoria Island stand tall and strong. Apparently, they stand impressively tall and strong. They withstand ocean winds amid rocky island soil. They stand so tall that a person would be compelled to ask,

How can that tree stand so tall and strong?

Apparently the answer is that their roots are intertwined. The trees on Victoria Island have woven their roots into each other, so that they hold each other up.

Much like a strong family, or a network of friends.

I feel like taking our family away from America is like pulling one of those trees on Victoria Island. There were loads of people holding us up and making us strong, who we are now leaving behind.

But there were also other people leaning on us.
