I felt like a failure, a loser, I felt I wasn’t good enough, I felt little, I didn’t really know how to fit in or even start, …… how was I even going to pull through,?
I never thought of me making it in life, I just wanted my kids to be fine, that was my ultimate goal….
All I knew to do was to love my kids immensely and give them all of me & that inspired me to keep moving.. Today I look back & all I want to say is thank you Lord.
It’s never to late to start all over again…… it will be tough but you will be fine .. There is always light @ the end of the tunnel.”
