Its hard, to participate everyday.
\nI show up for work though, even when things get rough. I’m here still providing, caring, cooking through it all.
\nParenting is bravery
\nIt’s coming to battle without a shield
\nIt’s exhausting
\nIt’s worrisome
\nIt’s rewarding in increments
\nIt’s disheartening in the spaces in between
\nIt’s knowing that you are all your kids have
\nSo remember to love them
\neven in moments of despair<\/p>\n
one day they will grow up, and this lone parenting season will seem over until it ends for certain. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
