Hi shanon,
I read your full story, truly very moving, and i want to hug you and say you have done a wonderful work following your love and no matter how hard life hit you, you still stand in the storm.
parise to you, I can understand there will be many like you wanted to mark their step in this world but can fail after a single attempt and be depressed.
I know how difficult it is to be a single mother, even thought I have a lovable wife and kid still parenting is never easy and never has been.
I wish you a great sucess in your life battling all stoms that life create yet manage to be calm inspite of the thunderstoms. You will be an inspiration to many single moms out there.
Thanks and regards
Vinod KJ
