This is one of my favorite pictures of my lovlings taken over ten years ago. While I am not the type of mother who wishes her children were any age other than the age they are right now (12, 15 & 17), looking back makes me proud.
When this picture was taken, the life as I knew it, the life that I had planned all of my life was about to change drastically. My marriage was ending and my new life as a single mom was just beginning. Seeing those smiling faces and seeing the smiling faces I see today reminds me of how far I have come.
Single parenting, while trying at times, is NOT the end of joy. It is the beginning of something wonderful and it is possible to accomplish. Don't ever let anyone, not even your monkey mind, tell you anything different.
Blessings,
Virginia
