For all the single parents out there and especially for S.
*A Son�s Advice To A Single Mom* *She looked across at him and smiled* *A contented smile of sacred love* *Eighteen years she fretted* *This gift God had sent her from above* *She had soothed him through his teething* *Wiped tears away at schools first day* *Sat shivering at every sports field game* *The price she so willingly did pay* *She kissed away his little boo boos* *Put band aids on with gentle hand* *Listened to his bedtime prayers and wishes* *She always tried to understand* *She recalls him proudly waving his license* *The first time he took her car alone* *And his first date choked her up a lot* *Knowing soon he�d leave her home* *A single mom she had struggled to survive* *To make a home for her little man blue* *Now her little man was all grown up* *She wasn�t so sure now what to do* *But he held out his arms and embraced her* *Saying Mom it�s time for you to start* *To find the love that you deserve* *It�s ok with me if you share anew your heart.*

Hey Bro,

This goes for the single fathers too. Life can be even more of a challenge when our young ones start to pull away from us to become their own persons. Great Write Bro,

Awwwwwwwwwwwwwww, Felix, this is precious beyond measure. Well done! This hits close to home--my Daddy is a blessed man. He found love twice--my mother, who died 15 years ago, was his first; my stepmom is his second. Most men can't find love once!

(((HUGS))) and love, Karla. :)

I had this same conversation with my Mom...only she didn't listen!
This is a subject matter that many need to be hearing. Kids are not rocks..They know when Mom or Dad is not happy, and they also know if the parent is happy they have an easier pathway as well.
Good message here Felix!
