Today is good so far but a lot of the day is still to come.
I woke up to a good surprise today my youngest son, who is 17 years old, told me he loves me for a change. I was shocked to say the least. You have to understand that my son David is a quiet child as far as talking to mom is concerned. I have raised three boys by myself. Even when I was with their father I was the one who raised my sons. Their father was more interested in gambling then being at the boys ball games or their school programs. Don't get me wrong I enjoyed every minute I have with my sons and would not change a thing we have done in the past.
People are always talking about what legacy they are going to leave the world when they past and I know that my legacy is my children having a compassion for people that has no bounds. I have taught my children to look for the good in everybody no matter what. No matter what life throws at them they look for the good.
I wanted my children to have an easy life but being a single mother of 2 living and 1 deceased kids has not been easy for us. My boys know their older brother and they know he loved us and watches us every minute of everyday. My boys also learned no matter what never hit a woman. They had to watch as their father hit me and all it took was one time of him hitting me in front of the boys and I packed up a few clothes for each iof us and we were gone.
My boys surprised me last year on fathers day and took me out for being both mother and father to them. We talked about how hard it has been for us but how they would not have changed a thing we have done in the past and how the appreciated they way I stood up as both parents. It made me feel so good to know that I have raised them to be well adjusted men for this world.
Okay so I rambled but it has started out wonderful knowing my sons love me.
