I am a bit concerned about the amount of time that this fact will entail. I am a newly single mother with two grown boys that do not drive. There are a lot of activities to get to, and special moments to attend. Can I do it all on my own?
NO!
I can't do it on my own, I will have to rely on my friends to help when needed. I will have to rely on the kindness of others to be there when I can't. What is it Hilary Clinton said, "It takes a village to raise a child"? It will take a village to get the three of us through this year I am telling you now!
I am also not totally alone, because their dad will be there for all of the big milestone moments. He is as involved as he can be with a job that has him traveling most weekends. I am thankful that they have a dad that loves them as much as he does.
This year is going to be rough, but I am confident that with the help of those that love us, we can get through it!
(but I know there WILL be tears, hopefully not too many)
