That’s why I posted the video on Sunday in the first place: there are so many single moms, single women, and honestly just people doing their best with what is in front of them.
So today, I want to remind you of what I needed to be reminded of too: you are doing better than you think. Strength does not mean you never cry; it means you keep showing up and looking up.
