This is not the vision I had

Through a series of events that I did not plan, but am thankful for, I became a single mama. It is not at all what I pictured my life to be like, look like, or feel like. I had this vision from such a young age of what my own family would look like when I got older. It would involve a nice house and each room filled with children. I would have a loving, supportive, hard working husband. I think for the most part a lot of us grew up with that idea. I don't think many (I'm sure there are a few) set out intentionally to be a single parent. None the less, more of us end up here than probably should, but for some of us it's the best scenario for our families. This journey is not for the faint of heart; Its hard, sometimes grueling but its the most rewarding thing I could ever do. Being a single parent.
