There were times when I was at my wits end
denying and crying ... doing my best …
raising boys to men ..
Looking back ..
I felt like I was “doin’ the right thing” long before Spike Lee even started writing the script for his movie … and my proof … three grown… sons… who love and respect their mother … and their significant other …
I used to say “I was lucky” that they did grow up … as thoughtful , respectful men ..but “luck” was only part of it … I had a good foundation from both parents … enough to give my sons much the same …
now that they are grown, they don’t seem any worse for being raised by a single mother.
We have a good rapport.. do not live on top of each other and keep in regular contact.
My grandchildren are fortunate to have both parents .. and I am happy to see a two parent tradition is starting again ....
What's more traditional than a Jacob's Ladder quilt..??
