Being Single

 For me Life Alone is like coming out the grocery store with many bags….

I need help caring them and can barely make it to my car but I try to keep going. I look around for help but all I see is other women who have help carrying their groceries because they have their husbands right beside them carrying most of the load. Or other women with  kids  who are helping them carry things here and there. Some of the women with only their kids helping are struggling, but they have their kids in mind so it gives them the strength to keep going to get to the car so they can go home and feed them. And there are other men around who could help but they are too busy trying to get their own groceries to the car so they can get home to the women who will cook their groceries for them. And then there’s me. Walking struggling with all these bags, I don’t think I can make it at times, some steps are easy and others are hard. I look around for help and there’s no one. I pray to God for strength to help carry these bags and sometimes that gets me through but other times it is not enough so I go on praying and praying to God for someone to help me…

In the past few days these steps have been really hard and I don’t think I can make it. The load of these bags are too great so I have stopped and I am standing still…
