There are days when no amount of caffeine can alleviate your fatigue. You often wish you could hand off your responsibilities to a partner, but the truth is: it’s all on you.
Life can feel overwhelmingly unfair at times, and you’re right—it often is. Yet, you continue to rise above the challenges you face.
You may find yourself questioning whether one person can truly handle all that’s required, and if any human can actually bear such a load. Yet, somehow, you manage to push through.
In the quiet of the evening, when the house is still, you might feel a mix of relief and sadness. It’s a strange dichotomy to experience joy and pain in the same moment, but it’s a reality for you.
Mornings can be tough; there are moments when you long for just a few extra minutes of sleep. However, those little ones rely on you, and there’s no one else to step in when duty calls.
You sometimes find yourself pausing, asking “Why?” and quickly following up with “How will I…?” Even without clear answers, you keep moving forward, one step at a time.
You are a single individual managing a role that seems to require a team of four. You are a caregiver who dreams of being cared for in return, but until that day comes, you keep forging ahead.
You are the sole provider in a world where two incomes are often necessary to make ends meet. You are a parent defying the odds, accomplishing what seems insurmountable even for couples.
Though you are one, you are doing it. Some days are particularly challenging, yet here you are—one more day. Just when you think you can’t go on, you find yourself proving that you can.
To all single parents: you were, you are, and you will be remarkable. Here’s to another day of being a warrior in this journey.
