I have been away from home for six months. When I left,my son Rocky, was just starting to learn ABC and numbers. I went home for vacation and celebrated mother's day with my kids. On mother's day, my son, Rocky, came up to me with a piece of folded paper torn out from an old writing notebook. He said he wanted to draw me a rose but wouldn't know how. When I opened the folded piece of paper, in his wobbly hands were written the words: rosE 4 u mom. I started to cry. Has any child ever touched your heart in this way?

Yeah..He's really my sweetest rock. Anyway, I got a scholarship from a university overseas and can only come home on sem breaks or whenever my pocket would allow.

Oh wow, that sure is a huge sacrifice. But since it is temporary I am sure your degree will provide you and your child a good future with better paying jobs and more opportunites. Good luck and best wishes with your education.
