Single mum's

This weekend is mothers day in America and as in many parts of the world. The single mum and widow face a tough day. How many families will go to church or go out to dinner and rightfully so but the single mum often faces a pizza or a lonely room. Her days are covered with wondering how bills will be paid and working through decisions that once she did not carry alone. I never understood how hard it was. I spoke to a woman I knew years ago and she too expressed the hard road it was. In America the road I think is exceptionally hard no free medical and public transport is none exsistant in many a place. It is like you feel like you cry out for charity. You sit on the side of the road crying and yet in those tears their can be tears of healing. A fork in a road is only that it is a place where a person can move on with memories and wisdom or stay and move on looking and feeling bitter and in that decision they lose the chance of a better future. Single mum's face a road like no other it is a road of tears and hardship and then at other times sheer joy that at least you tried your best. When the world seems so against you it is there in that moment you keep fighting just a little longer with the hope that another will come that will be brighter. I wished I had offered to help more cry more or listen more to the single mum or widow and with everything in me I am so sorry I never did. But that been said we all can make a difference if you know a single mum reach out to her help her cut the grass. Let her cry on your shoulder, take her out, buy groceries and as you do as she blossoms and grows you too will change and see that life is not always roses and that a single mum is just a woman that needs a little help to be on a new road. Please have a cup of tea with me today.
