Only one

[NewsBot]

Its tough to be the only one.* The only parent, the only one people count on.* Its tough.* Since my wife died I have had to make a few changes.* I have had to be the patient one, the sensitive one, the one to take care of the kids when they are sick.* My daughter is OK, she's off in college.* My son, who is 5 now is a different story.* He is still young and I have to be careful.* Careful on what I say, careful what I do and I think everyday; Am I raising him right?* Was I too hard on him?* Am I screwing up big time? and then I think, OK what am I going to fix for dinner?* I cannot fix microwave dinners and McDonalds everynight.* I have a good support system.* My parents help a lot as do the rest of my family.* If I have to go out of town they care for him almost to the point when I come home he wants to stay with them.

 

I always thought, even when we were split up that I was doing a good job but she was there as the mother to take care of everything.* A million and one questions I need to ask her but she is gone and only one remains.* When we split up I said good riddance, now that she is gone I'd give anything to have her back.*

 

A few thoughts, dont ever say anything mean or that you will regret.* You do think of that a lot if something happens.* For that single mom who thinks finding a man who will accept your kid is tough the single dads have it just as rough.* I'm not a religous guy, I absolutely hate the church but my son loves his Sunday school class and like his mom loves to go to church.* I put aside my personal hatreds and go with him, I attend all his functions for church and school.* If there is a heaven or a hell I do believe she went where she always believed she would go.

 

For those of you on Channel 9 that recently split up or even those that are still with their spouses.* Look at them, listen, they are worth holding onto and above all cherish them.* Even if you hate them now or they do things that infuriate you.* I can make one guarantee, you will miss them when they are gone.

 

Thanks for reading.* Just a few thoughts.
