Practically Single
Just over eight years ago, I found myself in a slippery place. Pride had wounded me, love had hurt me, sleep had departed from me and I was bringing up a baby and a toddler by myself. I could not bear to discuss my failed marriage with anyone, but I went over and over where I had gone wrong in my head night and day.
My father knew enough to be silent and just love me. My mother sensed I was not sleeping and even though she was working, helped me so much with the boys.That day, I had visited the grave of my grandfather. As he had taught me to do with the grave of his mother, I had bought a handkerchief to clean the plaque from leaves and dirt, so that it looked well cared for, a sign that the person who lay here was well loved. Of course, the handkerchief had other uses. I hadn’t cried so hard in a long time. I got down on my knees, and prayed with all my heart for help. I prayed for forgiveness. I prayed that my life would change for the better. Softly, a groan broke the silence of the dark. It was my eldest son, turning in his sleep in the next room. In agony, I sank to my knees next to my bed and I prayed. If I went back to my marriage, my children would have a mother and a father who loved them, just not each other. What message was that sending to them? On my own, I was a better person. I could be someone they would grow to respect. I could teach them how to respect themselves and others. I could show them the true meaning of love. I could help others by sharing my experience with them, showing them how I rediscovered myself and pay forward my blessings. In the morning, I wrote the first chapter of Practically Single. It is due for release by Mostly for Mothers Publishing. |
