"Somewhere back in time, when life threw me a curve ball, I found myself lingering by our kitchen table in Greenhills, doodling aimlessly at first, and then drawing.....chairs."
This is what Lucy Torres wrote on her Instagram account a few days ago accompanied by pictures of her chair drawings.
She continued, "I don't know why. It could have been houses, or flowers, but somehow it had to be chairs. I would draw one after the other, and soon enough Juliana joined in. Sometimes Richard would help me draw, too, but because he always had work, it was mostly Juliana and myself."
Julian was nine-years-old then but according to Lucy, she was a "healing presence."
Her caption continues, "So I drew [and] drew, and she colored [and] colored. She did not question my tears, or my silence, but she sat beside me and basically helped me be sad, I guess without even knowing that she was doing just that."
It's not everyday that a celebrity pours out their thoughts but in Lucy's case, her reason for sharing is clear.
"I share this little backstory in the hope of comforting anyone going through a rough patch, whatever it is. We cope in different ways....Others bake, or eat, or run, or write. It doesn't matter what you take on, really. Just do what you can to get one foot in front of the other. Everyday. The best part of it all? As with most things, everything just passes. It always blows over. It always falls into place. Somehow, life can always be good and gentle that way."
Today, the Leyte representative's drawings hang in their kitchen in Greenhills. And that particular part of her life's journey resolved itself in due time "and even opened big doors for things to be better."
