I am a mom, hear me roar
Today marks 6 years since I’ve been a single mom. April 17, 2002, Mo was only 15 months old…still practically a helpless baby. Now she’s almost 7 1/2 and knows more than I do (according to her anyway). Has it been an easy road? Definitely not. Has it been a rewarding one? Most definitely.
All the sleepless nights (for both of us), doctors visits (and several trip to the E.R., ugh), ear infections, injuries, sicknesses, school functions, vacations, teaching her to swim and ride a bike, I’ve broken down in tears when she was sad and rejoiced when she was happy.
Many people don’t know what it’s like to wear your heart outside your body, but I do. Everything she is is because of me. Except for the attitude. She gets that from her father.

Mo is also smart, bright, funny and happy. Childless people don’t understand how rewarding it is to be a parent. I wouldn’t change it for the world.
