Single Mom

There are times I hear from people who tell me how strong I must be to be a single mom. As I say thank you to a compliment like that I often remember how/why I am "labeled" a single mother. It was not exactly what I dreamed of or even imagined the day I got married. Life to us is full of surprises and those surprises are His plans. We often question why, why, why? The answers may be evident sooner or later, however we must be patient. Yes, being a single mom is difficult, tiredsome, and overwhelming. There are times of struggle, sadness, and lonliness. Yet, I am thankful for what I have and what will continue to come.
