I am a Single Mom
I’m a single mom living in America.
I’m raising two girls on my own.
No family. No relatives.
Solo parenting.

If any phrase fits my life, it’s that one.
My oldest is in elementary school now. She goes to school and handles a lot on her own.
But my youngest is only three.
So realistically, holding down a full-time job isn’t easy for me right now.
More than anything,
in a place where we have no family,
I want to be the one they can lean on.
Their mom. Their only family.
I want to give them all the time they need.
So I found a way
to protect my children
without losing myself.
Now that I’ve found my path,
I intend to walk it with everything I have.
The road ahead may be long and hard. But I’ll keep moving forward with my girls.
Happy. And full of hope.
