Mama

Dear Mama,

It's been two months since Papa left. I know you wouldn't like to admit it, but God knows that going solo in this endeavor is tough.

Try as I may, I can never bring myself to understand how you do what you do to make moving on and moving forward less painful.

Thank you for always being my real-life Wonder Woman; even when the stakes are high, even when it means having to do things alone, even when the odds are against you.

Thank you for protecting me and always giving me hope for brighter days.

I've said this before and I am going to say it again - if I ever have children of my own, I hope they look up to me the way I look up to you.
