I was at back to school night last week. I was feeling sad that I would be seeing all the other Dads and I'd be the abandoned single mom. A real pity party in my head.
I glumly entered the lobby and one of my daughter's friends was working the event. Such a sweet kid and well thought of by her peers and all the parents. She was working back to school night but she would not be seeing her mom in the hallways. It was less than 3 years ago that her mother died one afternoon of a sudden brain aneurysm. Wow what a wake up call!
It is hard to rise above each and every day but we must try. The beauty is in choosing to make the effort.
