Saying you’re a single parent when you are not is like saying you’re handicapped when you have merely a sprained ankle;
Your temporary inconvenience does not equal my everyday struggle.

My Heart Will Go On

I always think about traits I wish I could "give" my daughter. I know there will be certain things she inherits from me; probably my smart-assery and stubbornness for sure, but that's about all I can offer her.

So many people have told me that I'm a strong woman because of the things I have gone through, but little do any of you know.. I'm not that strong. I'm only human, and I break down.. More often than I care to admit actually. I'm scared about the future and I stress over the little things. But then again, who doesn't?

If there is anything that I could give K, it would be an unbreakable heart. I hope I can raise her to be stronger than I am. I want her to overcome her fears and reach her goals. I want her to love and be loved by everyone she encounters.
Every mother wants their child to succeed, but K has truly become my first and foremost goal in life. I want to raise her better than I was raised (no offense to my parents, of course).. I know I can accomplish this goal and I will be proud of K no matter where life takes her.
