Its hard, to participate everyday.
I show up for work though, even when things get rough. I’m here still providing, caring, cooking through it all.
Parenting is bravery
It’s coming to battle without a shield
It’s exhausting
It’s worrisome
It’s rewarding in increments
It’s disheartening in the spaces in between
It’s knowing that you are all your kids have
So remember to love them
even in moments of despair

one day they will grow up, and this lone parenting season will seem over until it ends for certain.
