Single Moms – Never Give Up!

Life as a single mom is probably one of the hardest life challenges I’ve ever gone through in my entire life. My son’s father left us when my son was 6 months old. I had to go through every sleep regression, every late night cry, every early morning, and every fear a parent goes through when it’s their first child… by myself. It was hard, but it wasn’t impossible and I got through it with my head held high. This experience made me the strongest me and nobody can take that away from me! I proved to myself and to my son that even when times get rough, mommy is always going to be there to protect him, make him feel loved, and will never walk away from him – no matter how hard life gets sometimes.

My son is now two and I’ve grown to be strong, independent, and most importantly, forgiving. I hate his dad for what he did to us, but I have learned to move forwards and not dwell on the past. I said to myself, “If you don’t move forward, not only will your hate show, but Bubba will also feel everything you’re feeling.” So, that day I forgave his father and moved forward.

A few months later, I reconnected with an old friend. We’ve know each other since 6th grade, our lockers were side-by-side in high school, and we were best friends. Anyways, about a year later he asked me to marry him. He gave the ring to my son and my son actually ended up bringing it to me and Josh was on one knee when I looked back at him. Now a year later, he stepped in to take the responsibilities of Dad and we are getting married in two months.

Anyways, the whole point of today’s blog is even though life gets hard and a door shuts on you… there’s always going to be another door that opens for you. So, don’t give up, keep your head up, and never backaway from a life challenge – you can do it!!!
