I have tons of pictures of my daughter and very few of the two of us. As single moms we have given up a lot, but we're raising great kids and you're right it's all worth it. Don't worry--they always come back--last weekend I had my stepdaughter and college age niece all asking to come over to watch the Oscars. And we ate guacamole!

Excellent post here as you recap what this journey - with its trials and sacrifices included - was worth to you as you look at the young man your son has turned out to be. Thanks for sharing. As a single mom of an 11 year old daughter and 15 year old son and I can relate on many levels and also consider my kiddos my priority in this process. Also hoping I can give them all they need to turn out to be independent loving, caring, adults (with only a little bit of baggage from growing up in a divorced home). .-= Katherine SOLO dot MOM´s last blog ..<a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/SoloDotMom/~3/ZocmOc185kQ/conversations-of-conspiracy.html">Conversations of Conspiracy</a> =-.

I am sure there is more than one single parent thinking the same. My 17 year old (second of 2) is about to finish highschool, she is a girl (no difference really) and we had those "talks" more than once, she will be leaving soon and the only thing we have left is to let go of the attachment and trust we did the best we can and the best results will show up.

Your son sounds wonderful, and what could go better with guac?! I so needed this as I sat at home this evening w/ my daughter, questioning the choices I've made to have another child, wondering how I'll do as a part time/single mom. (My husband works long hours 3 months out of the year and we barely see him then.) No, my life isn't as hard as yours has been. thank you for making me see just how sweet I've got it.
