Today....Im just blown away...... I got a phone call earlier on from a Magazine....Take 5 .....Im thinking , how did you get my number ? And why are you calling me ? ..... This lady slowly explained that my dear Friend Karen had nominated me for Single Mother of the year Award and that I was chosen to be in the group of 12 Finalists! ..... Again.....I burst into tears .... Not because I thought Gee Wizz I might Win ....but simply because someone had thought so highly of my efforts with my Children that they nominated me ...... I never ever meant to be a Single Mother, its not exactly the job description I signed up for, but I soon realised it was my lot in life and I had to stand up and own it ! ..... My Children , all 5 of them are my Life, my whole world! I would never be without any one ! I dont get breaks...they are always with me 24/7. Its a bloody hard job but I do it and I manage . I dont complain, I probably yell a lot haha , but I dont complain ! So many people stigmatise Single Mothers but they dont realise that not all of us meant to be A Single Mum ever ....I sure didnt..... My Children all belong to the same Man and I guess we all thought we would grow old together....sadly life rarely turns out how you expect it to ! .... Cancer is one hell of a bastard of a disease.....it took my Partners life and now threatens to take my Sons ........Ill fight it all the way !!! And yes I have pretty much accepted the fact that I will be a Single Mom forever, because no one will EVER take their Fathers place ....... And any man would be mad to take on the issues within this Family lollll.... Point being, I dont need a man in my life, and my kids will always come first and foremost ! Guess Ill always be a Single Mum! So yeah when it comes down to it I guess I am Proud to be this Single Mum....proud that I have amazing Friends who think Im worthy of such nominations, Proud that I do this all on my own..... Proud that I sometimes wear my heart on my sleeve..... Proud to be able to share this shit story with you all and create Awareness of such horrible diseases.... And most of all.... I am so very Proud of the Achievements each and every child of mine has made and reached and will continue to do so .... You couldnt get a Prouder Mum..... And a Single Mum at that ! Karen you are. beautiful Person, a Great Friend....and I thank you for everything ! Xoxoxo xoxoxo
