To Be A Single Mom ...A Dad As Well

Tweet

When you're a wife you're used to be taking cared of by your husband...The hubby works while the wife stay at home waiting for him to come home or the wife also works but the husband comes along to fetch her in going home. The husband is always there from pre natal check up, wife's delivery until the children's education. The wife is dependent to husband for hardworks and serious problems. When the husband passed away, the woman was so devastated, thinking she could not run the family. "Cross the bridge when you reach there", they say. I'm the wife who ia afraid of the dark and even horror movies. When I was widowed however, a sudden twist of everything. I can go home alone walking at the middle of the night after an overtime from work. I can travel on the wee hours of the morning. I ran here and there just to have something for the family. I took care of the rentals, the bills, the tuition fees and the food. Thanks to my mom who was there to attend to the kids while I'm away. My son who was then a second year high school was crying, just to find out he was not yet circumcised, had run to the doctor to have it done. Had to go home early to attend my daughter's elementary graduation, she was already sobbing when I came, thinking no one is with her while receiving her medal and diploma. Attending children's recognition in high school, graduation...college enrollment and so forth and so on. I have to go for other income, been a tupperware agent. an underwriter and a real estate agent. A mother of three, now grown up kids. My eldest is married got two children while the two others are employed. I'm now back home feeling a woman again, playing with my grandkids.
