Today’s big heroes are single parents. Raising a child in a two-parent family, let alone a one-parent family is difficult. A young girl described how her father overcame the loss of his wife and continued to do so. “When my parents first met, they didn’t get along.
I know they don’t like each other since I was born. When I was 10, my mom packed her bags and left while my dad was at work. She not only left but also took with her all the furniture, clothes, dishes, and electronics in the house. I remember the day he walked in through the door. Don’t even look. I tried not to let go of her but to hold her. I asked you to join me. You left me crying at home.
I called my dad and told him about the situation. He told me to lock the door and windows because he couldn’t get in right away. I was still groaning when I decided to make a sandwich for my dad, just as he did when he realized I wasn’t in my water.
My mother took almost everything from home, so I did not have much food, but I managed to bury everything. Because my mother was preparing the dishes, I wrote them down on a piece of paper. After it was over, I sat there for four hours watching it.
When my father first entered the house, he was amazed at how far he had come. I ran to her with a cake in my hand and handed it to her. She told him it was built especially for him. Dad took it and shared it with me.
I pretended to look away because I saw that she was refusing to cry. My dad still talks about that day five years later. He says my gesture saved his life on the worst day of his life. He claims I saved his life regularly.
