Success

"Coming together is a beginning; staying together is progress; working together is success."

Have to have a common vision, both working together. Supporting and encouraging each other when one gets lost. Climbing that mountain, step by step, pulling the other up instead of dragging each other down. Partners in every hike.

This is what I want. This is what I get to create in my life. Im tired of pulling him down with me because I feel bad. Im tired of acting like mommy and worrying about his growth as I sit at the bottom of the mountain. Im tired of only climbing that mountain after him, trying to catch up and prove I am good enough to be loved. I get to climb. And as I climb, I get to pull people up with me, lend a helping hand, but only when I first have a strong grip and am climbing that mountain FOR ME.

I get to share my hike with lots of amazing people around me. We have our beginning, we make our progress, and succeed when we work together. My family and friends are my village, my support as a single mom. My children are my amazing partners as we create our family and trek thru our journey. And maybe one day, Ill have that one partner I seek.
