Being a mother is the greatest joy of my life! I look at my daughter and I can't help but smile. I never knew this amount of love was possible! I never envisioned being a single parent...but I am playing the hand I was dealt. The way I look at it, I am not doing this alone. Technically yes, I am a single parent. But I have a wonderful family and amazing friends that have been and continue to be, wonderful influences in my daughter's life.
I do not make any major decision in my life without thinking about how it may affect my baby girl. I wish that every parent thought that way. I am in no way saying that I am perfect because the good Lord knows I am not. But what I do have is insight in to my daughter's thoughts. And do you know how I gained that insight? By talking to her. She may only be 7, but she is wise beyond her years. All she wants is a parent who will spend time with her and praise her....things that should, but sadly do not always, come naturally. My favorite thing in the whole wide world is spending time with Ava. I love cooking dinner with her, and watching movies with her, and playing games with her, and shopping with her...I could go on and on.
I want to be there for her in every way and as much as I can. My work schedule sometimes makes that difficult but I make the most of every second because it is not about the quantity it's about the QUALITY of the time we get to spend together. My daughter is now and forever will be my first priority...she is love of my life and she deserves that and so much more!
