"My mom is nothing less than a wonder woman, she is the father when I go out of control, she is the best friend when I need a confidante and the support when I am weak."
Yes, I am a kid with a single mother. I do miss having my father around, but I am sure he must be proud of my mommy's job. And this one is for all the women striving to play the roles of the man and woman in the family.
Single mothers, this is either because god gets cruel and takes away her support or life gets harsh and she has to seperate with a divorce. Whatever the reason, the consequences is what defines her.
The part where these mothers are tested are when they have to smile to their kids and give them courage. Their tears, their loss and their fear is all locked up somewhere in some corner of their minds and soul. Now what next? The only thing they know is that they have to survive to see thier kids live. This is the beauty of every single mother who know how to live with courage.
Their strength is something that our society do not understand sometimes or neglect it totally. Single mothers and their kids are often looked at with a different perspective altogether. The times when they are thought vulnerable are difficult times when the Moms have to be the super heroes and fight against the world holding their integrity and keeping the kids away from the scars.
A family without a father is incomplete, but they know how to find happiness in the same vaccuum. This is taught by the single mother. She works to support the family, she nurtures the kids and when she is alone sleeping on the bed feeling the empty space next to her, she closes her eyes and puts herself in place again to survive the next day.
A father cannot handle kids alone, but a mother can sure be a rockstar here. So, for all the women who are single mothers for whatever reasons, a salute!
Cheers!!
