A time when the hard times were worth it*****

My friend of 10+ years was raised by a single-mom. Since we were young girls, my friend has always talked about how her mom was STRONG.

Two years ago on my friend's wedding day, her maid of honor was her sister and I remember I cried my eyes out during the maid of honor speech because both the bride and the maid of honor were so THANKFUL for their mother. It was simply portrayed that they felt they had complete lives and that their mom did a incredible job because now, you'll see 2 daughters with good lives - both daughters earned their bachelor's degree in respectable areas of study, both are married and like their mother, both are strong women...

It's moments like these that make single parenthood or any other hard time in life worth it.
