salute to single mama's

I am a young single mother of a 2 years old little girl. We have been settled in our cozy little mini family since I’ve been about 3 months pregnant. We’ve been through a lot of struggles in the last few years both financially and emotionally, but always managed to come through it with lots of snuggles, hugs and kisses.
It’s easy to resent being the only one to stand up and take full responsibility for that innocent little life. I know better than anyone how hard it can be (my whole family lives in Chicago and I’m up here in central WI) with no support system.
Let us be our own support system. Let struggling single parents be there for other struggling single parents. We all have something to offer whether it be advice, hand me downs, a listening ear or a shoulder to cry on…. hell, even another set of eyes on your frolicking child or an adult conversation on a play date can really take the edge off!
I’d like to propose a shout out to all us single mama’s who work long and hard for the little ones that we love. Who stand proudly in the face of adversity and laugh at the shunned looks of ignorant people who refuse to walk in another’s shoes before judging them. Whether you’re a single dad, divorced, widowed, single by choice or by chance, WE ROCK! And never ever forget that. No matter where your life takes you or how your circumstance makes you feel about yourself, you will always be a hero in the eyes of your child. Don’t take advantage of that! Much love!
