My son is a joy to have around. When he was twelve he walked into the court and said he wanted to live with me. Since he has been back he has been a joy to have around.
He will be seventeen in a week and he has grown to be such a man. He is still very young though.
He makes me very proud. He has always been on the Football Team and Basketball Team in school. He just won an award for most improved player when he joined the Swim Team this year. He lettered and everything. I was never so proud as when he recieved that award. He has made me awful proud in the past. When he played football and basketball but that was my proudest sports moment for him.
He is also very helpful when my x's are giving me a hard time. He hears the way they talk to me and watches what they do and he is not stupid. He is always on my side and tells me to relax. He gave up trying to make me quit cigarettes. I have quit many times but as soon as and x will start I reach for the cigarettes.
He knows that is the only thing I do. I am a dedicated single mother. I am in college full time to earn my bachelor's in Professional Writing. I have a minor in Secondary Education just about and I also have and associates in General Studies.
I stay home and do the cooking and the cleaning. I am here when they leave for school and here when they come home. I am a dedicated mother.
I have also picked up a couple jobs cleaning and I am expanding that until I can graduate next semester then I get to look for and office job or maybe finish my books I have written. Who knows.
All I know is my son supports me in all this stuff. It was him who helped me decide to change my major to Professional Writing. It is him who comes food shopping with me all the time. It is him I go to when I need to borrow a couple of bucks and he always has it.
He works too. He has had a job at Roller Kingdom now for over a year. He got his permit the day he turned the right age. He payed for his own drivers ed and is now going for his liscense.
He makes me so proud and is always here for me. Some day my daughter will be old enough to do the same thing.
