Imperfectly perfect parents!

To all the single moms out there, you are imperfectly perfect! The twists and turns in their lives are exactly where and how they are supposed to be. So don’t worry. Now, I know this whole not caring thing is easier said than done. I also know that you don’t always feel like you can do it all, but the truth is you can. And she does. Well, maybe you don’t do it all literally, but you sure do figuratively. And that doesn’t surprise me one bit. After all, moms have superpowers that only moms can have.

Did you know that studies show that female embryos develop their hearing and vision faster than their male counterparts? Female babies are born with an advantage in hearing and sight over male babies. Women are born with the superpowers of the bionic woman to hear and the superpowers of Superman to see. These innate superpowers naturally lead to having those motherly superpowers of just knowing things. Some call it mother intuition, I call it SUPERMOM! Come on… We all know that moms hear and see everything. No one can lie to mom or cheat on mom; Like Wonder Woman’s Lasso, Mom knows the truth before the conversation is over…

The bottom line here is that all single moms are not only imperfectly perfect parents, they are also enough. That’s how it is. You heard that correctly. You are enough. And since you are not going to be enough since we all know that you also have superpowers. You see, your children have a lot when they have you. You are part of them and they are part of you. And I think that’s pretty good too, right? Listen, believe me when I tell you that you are enough and nothing more needs to be added.

Now, as my grandfather always said: “Go learn, lead and pave the way to a better world for all of us.” Single moms, you’re imperfectly perfect, and that’s okay. And once again, parents, thank you in advance for all that you do and for all that you will do…
