when my Dad got sick with cancer and needed inhome care. when my co-worker friend needed support through a rocky time and I aided her at work and off. when my husband left and I had to find the words to speak positively about him to our kids when all I wanted to do was curse him. My life is no different from anyone’s except in the little details. All adults compromise for the sake of others.

They give up their free time to help kids with homework. They give up sleep to quiet their kids at night when the little ones are scared of the “shadow” in their room.

Some single moms will not date for a long time because they put their kids first.
