Of course, I have wonderful friends that help as much as they can, and I'd be lost without them, but in the everyday hustle and bustle, it sometimes feels as if I am drowning in the chaos. I often wonder why I was given the overwhelming responsibility of raising two children and bringing them up to be productive members of society.
But, today, I saw that I am not completely alone. I got a call today from the father of one of my best friends in the world and he wants to include my son in their annual father/son night at the motocross. I learned today, that, although I have been given a huge undertaking, I am certainly, not alone. And that there are people in our lives that want my kids to grow up exactly as they should...with the love of a very strong family.
Apparently Hillary Clinton was right...it does take a village to raise a child.
Being a child of a single mother, I know first hand the stuggles you face. I also know how important it is for Jack especially, to have a positive male role-model in his life and I know that Jason is an exceptional example for him to follow. Savannah, on the other hand, has wonderful role-models to follow in her mother and of course, my beautiful daughter-in-law Lindsey. I personally think you are an exceptional mother and are doing a fine job of raising Savannah and Jack on your on. I love your children like my own grandchildren and love you like a daughter. I love the fact that they know us as Mimi and Papaw and I thank you for allowing us to be a part of your lives! I hope that you and your children know that we are only a phone call away at any time!
