I wanted to write this to all of you Mothers out there who work so hard playing both the Mother and Father on most days. I know this, since I have lived it for so long. My children have always been wonderful to me on Mother's Day but sometimes it hurts that I never have received one word of appreciation from their Father's on this special Day. I actually used to cry about it. Here I was raising them all on my own in every way and not even one tiny word of thanks. It was treuly sad and depressing. I have pretty much raised all three of my daughters on my own in every way and know I am only one of many out there. I am owed vast amounts of money in child support so, it is also on the financial level as well. It was tough haveing been raised by both of my parents were were and are wonderful. I tried so hard on my own to give what two parent's gave me. I learned to appreciate how lucky I was in that my father truely appreciated all my mother has don and does for us. He lets he know often as do my sister and I. It was sad seeing how other fathers on this day with the kids all got together and made that a special day for all of the lucky Momma's out there. I longed for even one small word of recognition or thanks from the fathers of my children and to this very day, never received one word at all. It hurt terribly and I would often go to sleep crying knowing how hard I work to give my children all I possibly can from everything I have on my own. I made sure they had everything they needed, cooked their meals, mended their clothes and bought them. I bandaged their booboos and put them to bed each night with love and kisses soothing any nightmares away. I made sure they never noticed the absence of their fathers in their life, nor noticed when they did not show up for visitation. I would wipe away their tears as they waited by the window for their dad's to show up. I took them away and brought them to the park or worked on an art project with them to soothe away their tears. I made sure they had a home to live in and healthy food on the table that I bought and cooked. I now embrace being a single mother and take great pride in how wonderful my children turned out! They are beautiful, healthy, artistic and creative girls! I did that! I learned how from both of my parents. So, all of you out there who have the father's around, please take special note of all of us single Mom's out there who do it all by ourselves! Praise them and make sure their children appreciate them please. To all of you Single Mom's out there, dont worry about not receiving one word of thanks or appreciation from you childrens father-take secret pride that you have done what takes normally both parents to do for your children. Pat yourself on that back for providing all you have done for your little ones and in still being able to tuck them in safely at night with their favorite bedtime stories with all of your love. I am happy that I have my children all to myself! I no longer have those tears of ebing alone in raising them all by myself. I secretly am happy that I have them all to myself! I know with every breath I take and each decision that I make-my children are loved. The received all of the best that I have and deserve it. Happy Mother's Day from someone who is not your child. Save this thought and cherish it and know that you are more than a Mother-you are their father too in lots of way. So a double Happy Momm'as Day to all you you Momma's out there who really are not alone! Because you have the love of your children all to your
