Chronic Ache in the Soul of a Single Parent
There is a chronic ache in the soul of a single parent. It lingers, feeling endless. This ache feels so difficult, especially when you look at other families. They seem so… whole. They seem so joyful and complete. There is a husband and a wife and children in a stroller. Thinking about your single state, you realize how awkward you feel, how out of place at various functions and gatherings. They are all happily together and you’re miserably alone. Disappointment with the current life circumstances just settles in to stay, or so it feels. How could these layers of disappointment be broken up anyhow?

October to December, those poor little guys are in trouble! True story: a few years back, I was at my niece's place on Thanksgiving. I walked outside just in time to see a small flock of wild turkeys trotting along the sidewalk across the street. Of course I had a giggle thinking about how they were.
Poor little guys!!
