I met superwoman... single, single mother by choice, moved her home 4 times in the last 3 years, works for half a day, picks up her children from school at 3:30 pm [ luckily they have the same pick up time! ] work for another couple of hours after, trying to maintain a 'work-life balance' [as it's called] and dedicate the rest of her evening to her children. [we are all aware of what happens to children when they don't get their fair share of your attention! :) :) ] I would also like to add cooking to her list.
I think to myself... " how does she manage all of this entirely on her own?, where are all the 'helping hands, all the shoulders to lean on?".
"So I ask, " where do you get the strength to do this each day?"
She gives me a smile that reaches her eyes and says..
"when all was taken away from me and I was desperate, I prayed and begged and prayed again and cried and prayed, yet again.. there was no one in particular I prayed to.. I just prayed.
Now I have so much with me.. that I never want to let go!
