i'd walk to heaven
to see the glow in the eyes of you

Chronic Ache in the Soul of a Single Parent
There is a chronic ache in the soul of a single parent. It lingers, feeling endless. This ache feels so difficult, especially when you look at other families. They seem so… whole. They seem so joyful and complete. There is a husband and a wife and children in a stroller. Thinking about your single state, you realize how awkward you feel, how out of place at various functions and gatherings. They are all happily together and you’re miserably alone. Disappointment with the current life circumstances just settles in to stay, or so it feels. How could these layers of disappointment be broken up anyhow?

I feel this way about my mum, I think i have written something relating to this in my drafts notes idk maybe, lol!! Thanks for sharing, this is beautiful and straightforward, so it makes us reading really think deep on the layers of meaning you’ve woven into it.
Aww, this picture is so sweet! Short, sweet, and absolutely beautiful! A heartfelt tribute wrapped in just a few lines—pure love.
