A story I can relate. A story of my life. A story only single parents would probably understands.
Life begins when you are born into this world. Life renew when you step into adulthood, getting married. Life then, begins when your first child is born.
Who would have thought that its a shortfall that you never thought would happen. Anyway, I've learnt that people change, I just never thought mine would. Always dream of a wonderful marriage life instead life brings another challenge that would soon begin my life episode as a single parent.
In shock, but life goes on. It is harder in the beginning to be honest. And with God's grace and faith, with family who supported me all the way, never giving up hope on me, I think things have been pretty decent to be the least.
Life ordeals continues on, as my little boy grew into teenage years, another challenges begin. At times, I feel frustrated that I felt the world might just collapse right in front of me, but I thank the Lord that I still have my family support. It can be pretty ugly, as I think I like my role being the good 'cop' not so cool for my mom who has to play the other cop, yes, the 'bad' cop. Sorry Mom. Please forgive me. I know I can be a little too much at times.
With all the perks of getting married at such a young age, quirks of getting a child, being a mom, realizing parenthood is not all flowers and fairies, smirks of being a single parents, it all comes down to one conclusion...it's a life experience that would makes me who I am now, stronger!
"I can never be perfect to everyone, but I can be the best I can be for those who believe in me." Life continues...I don't hate anyone...why hate when you can love more?? I love my family..I may not show it much. But they are always there for me. That's Unconditional Love.
