Single Parent

I am all woman, yet I am strong because I've had to be. Little did I know that fate would deal me a blow and leave me alone to raise my family. Now don't be mistaken, I welcomed my fate. So I could raise my family with nothing but love and eradicate the hate. My duties are nearly over, I feel I did succeed, I provided all the love and care and all they would ever need. My children, now young adults are intelligent and polite, as difficult as those years were, I think I got it right.

Very nice Jenny. I am also a single mother that has her last child graduating High School in 5 days. It has been a long 18 years with many ups and a few downs but I wouldn't change a thing. You put into words what I could not. Bless you.
