The mailman arrived and handed over my letters. There was nothing exciting from receiving them. Most of them are my unsettled light and credit card bills. I am a single mom who tries to make ends meet. This life is hopeless, why did I ever make so many mistakes in the past? If not for the wrong decisions I made, my child and I would not have suffered this much. It feels like the whole world is on my shoulder and there's no one to lean on to.
Whenever I feel this way, I look at my toddler. His angelic face is the only thing that keeps me going. His perfect smile as he sleeps is wonderful. He gives me the strength to hold on. Oh, how badly I want to give this child a better future! I will crawl if I have to just to provide his needs.
He is like a sun to me. He is my hope - he gives me light in spite of the darkness around me. And as long as I have him, I will hold on to that light!
