Thanks Paula I really appreciate the support. Just trying to get all my thoughts together but I'm still here.
Today my daughter and I went for a 2 mile jog during the evening and it felt good. We haven't been eating out either. Strictly cooking @ home so we can watch what we eat. Doing the best I can can with what I have. I just keep looking to the future for my bright, thin, happy outcome.
Hey Girlie....Just stopped by to say hey.....and CONGRATS on the new JOB, even though it sounds a bit tough right now with all the extra hours!!! I'm happy that you and your daughter are being able to spend more time with EACH OTHER!!!

....
...you know what's funny is that when you talk of you and your daughter, it reminds me and WARPS me
back to me and my mom growing up because you are SO YOUNG and PRETTY, and HARD WORKING and SINGLE, and my mom and I were at about YOUR AGES too!...I had the YOUNG HOT mom, like you and your daughter, she had me at about 20 yrs, and when I was about 5 years old, they go divorced....right after my little brother was born....IT WAS HARD....on both of us...it definitely forced me to grow up a lot faster than I wanted to...but YOU DO TOGETHER what is needed to survive

....and the reason I tell you is because I have a WARMTH

in my heart for women out there who STRUGGLE by themselves, and DO IT ANYWAY to protect their own!!!
....You know, I completely understand your situation, and let me tell you...those little quality moments...even at the park, smiling together, what ever it may be...
those are the moments that COUNT!!! When you talk about you and your daughter, I think of me and my mom......I understand the struggles that single women go through to raise their kids, because
we were one of them!!! There were so many good times, and so many tough times....but I'll tell you...we had EACH OTHER....

....no matter what happened in life...no one could take that away from us.....& IT IS TOUGH being single and raising kids!! I know...!!! My mom too had to work crazy hours just to make us survive and be able to have the small things we asked for! I am so grateful to her today!!! You have no IDEA, and the struggles and lack of time spent together, made me REALLY appreciate her and the time we did get to spend together!!! I commend you and YOU WILL SEE, all your HARD WORK will pay you back a MILLION FOLDED back!!! I just wanted to tell you that, because I know what it is like to be on the
daughter's end of the stick in your situation....and HOW MUCH THOSE moments spent
together STILL shine up my LIFE and bring me great feelings of JOY!!! I believe it's the
struggles, the tears, the smiles, the laughs, the talks we had that I saw my mom go through for me and my little brother, as a SINGLE mother, that made us CLOSER than ever!!!

......The thing I loved the most, was that no matter how much she had to work, she always had time, to laugh, cuddle, and joke, and when she had time, we DID do little things together!!! BELIEVE ME THOSE RUNS, THOSE TALKS, everything, they will mean SO MUCH TO HER in the future!!! You are doing a GREAT JOB, and YOUR HEART just shines right through!!!

I CAN SEE IT!!!!!!!!!
...YOU are PRECIOUS,....and GOD KNOWS IT, you have been BLESSED!!!!!!
