Since becoming a mom I have gained a new appreciation for all mothers. I never understood the love, the worry, the responsibility, and the pure joy mothers experience until I became one.
And I've never been more amazed with single mothers than I am now.
Now I don't consider myself a single mother, I have a loving husband that is home quite often in comparison with many fathers and husbands. But I have had a little taste of what it is like for single moms.
The smallest tasks become big ones. Things you didn't think about or took for granted are every day struggles for single moms.
Little things like taking out the trash, finding time to or the availability to shower, keeping the house clean and other "small tasks" become somewhat difficult. On top of these every day things, single moms are having to find ways to provide for themselves and their kids.
All of this without the love and support of a husband, and companion.
Single moms find ways to love for, feed and nurture their kids. Maintain a clean house, make sure the laundry is done, find and keep a job, and constantly do a juggling act just to keep everything together.
Mothers, especially single mothers, have a strength that is amazing and unexplainable.
