Some couples want kids, and will do everything they can to have their own. To find out they cant. So they adopt or foster to fill the void. Some couples chose to be cat or dog parents instead and focus on their careers. Others get the families they want without struggle. Then there are couples finding themselves as parents unexpectedly.
For me I need to start at the beginning with, being a parent and wife was my dream. I met my soul mate, or so I thought. My first year as a wife was fulfilling and when I found out I was pregnant I was over joyed. I was a wife and a mom. Dream in play and I couldn’t have been more happier. Or so I thought. Once our bundle of joy arrived my life changed. My dream slowly started to slip away with verbal, emotional and physical abuse.
From a dream to survival with in 2 years. I’m now a part time single mom of 2 teen boys. Every day alone is survival. Every moment with my boys is precious.
Looking over my life, I can see how I was raised and seeing what I’ve gone through to see what my life is like now. I can see the footprints left for my children. Not just my prints but my mom and her mom before her. A wave of prints that make a ripple for each child to feel, see and fallow.
Footprints left are the sacrifices and memories left from a mom caring for her children and the sacrifices that she makes.
This blog tells my story’s from prints I fallowed to prints I made and prints to come. Join me on my journey of footprints of memories.
