NOT EASY

HER LIFE IS NOT HOW SHE PICTURED IT TO BE.

A MOTHER OF TWO CHILDREN, AND SHE IS ONLY 23.

A SINGLE MOTHER ON HER OWN, LIVING FROM CHECK TO CHECK.

SHE PICTURED THINGS MORE DIFFERENT. SHES LIVED HER LIFE WITH NO REGRET.

BUT IN THE PAST SHE MADE MISTAKES, AND NOW SHE SITS ALONE WITH A LOT ON HER PLATE.

SHE LOVES HER CHILDREN DEARLY, WOULDN'T TRADE THEM FOR THE WORLD.

HER SHINNING STARS OF PROMISE, HER BOY AND LITTLE GIRL.

AT NIGHT SHE SITS AND WONDERS, IN FIVE YEARS HOW THINGS WILL BE.

WILL HER CHILDREN STILL BE HAPPY, AND HAVE EVERYTHING THEY NEED?

SHES THANKFUL FOR HER PARENTS, AND THANKS THEM FOR THEIR HELP.

THEY LOVE THEIR GRANDCHILDREN AND, OF THEIR DAUGHTER THEY ARE PROUD!

BUT DEEP INSIDE SHE WONDERS, AND HOPE IT ALL WORKS OUT.

BEING A SINGLE PARENT ISN'T EASY, I'VE LEARNED THATS FOR MYSELF!
