Outstanding write Felix, there are so many like which you so describe, and they do it all. Some single dads out there, but by far, it is the women that carry the torch.

Took an amazing twist, shows a real pride in the sound that mom and son did fine, even after the dad's betrayal. A simple and heartfelt melody that resonates beautifully.

In reply to Jennifer, in all fairness most women don't chose to be single mothers and the ones that do ususally have a good reason to chose. I do not find it depressing I find it wonderful and heart warming that these women make a good life for them and their children. Also if you were a single Mom in past and did not find your child enough of a reason to live and love to the fullest of your abilities then I pity you. In my books the women and someimes men that strive as single parents to give their kids the best they can in this world are hero's and there are few of those in this world.

What a wonderful write this is! I love this from beginning to end. We always learn from others, and with each new knowledge and path there will always be those baby steps.

How depressing. There's nothing more pathetic than a single mom. I know. I've been one ... in the past. That would never be my choice for "getting a life."

Felix, I am that woman. My son is 31 now and we truly did grow together.

I hear a sincere, warm, caring voice in this piece. You moved me.

Thank you, Felix, for such a gorgeous tribute. While I am fortunate in finding a man who loved my children as much as I do, there were a few years I was a single mother of two small children. BABY STEPS reads with a beautiful cadence and sends a message of strength and hope.
