“I always envisioned myself as traveling the ocean of life in a rowboat where my mother was one oar and my father, the other. Having two good, solid oars made rowing much easier.”

Meaning

This reads as a tender image of balance and support. The ocean suggests life’s uncertainty, while the two oars point to the steadiness that comes from having both parents present as guidance and force. It lands for anyone who has felt carried by family support, especially when looking back and realizing how much easier the hard stretches were because of it.
