Sometimes life throws you thorns.....

I found out last week that my dad has cancer. The medics are saying that it's unlikely to be curable. He isn't saying much yet. My mother is devastated yet having to be strong for him, her aging parents and teenage youngest....

A person dear to me is struggling to work things out so he can fulfill a lifelong ambition and make his life better for it. At times all the doors you push seem a lot of hard work to budge....

These days I am realizing just how tired and unresourced I feel in single-motherhood. How wearing it is to have to constantly make the important decisions alone....

I'm not complaining. I have much to be grateful for. But this is also a time when I am having to keep a good hold of HOPE - for myself and others that I love.
