As a full-time single mom, I know that I have had great days and bad days but through it all my strength has grown leaps and bounds since I gave birth to Lily. I have endured the hard times with tears and heartache and reveled in the good times with smiles and laughter. Each year I hope that things will get a little bit easier and there are moments that do but each moment is worth the time I get to spend with my precious little girl. For other single mothers out there, keep doing the amazing job you are doing because your raising awesome children that will grow up to appreciate everything that you did for them as a child!
Thank you for this post! I am also a full time single mother, my daughter is 2 1/2 and the best thing I have ever done! I have people saying things like that to me often, like "You are so tough... you are doing a great job... She is going to appreciate all you have done someday..." and it is really easy to just smile and nod but there is always that doubt. Thank you for confirming that I am not the only one with that feeling! Perhaps the fact that we are even thinking about this shows that we are more in tune than we think :)
