“You never know.” Its something we hear everyday. We say it or someone else says it to us. One cannot imagine the impact it has until it plays a personal role. A single mom of a young boy. A positive, giving, outgoing little man that looks to me as his hero. I am his mom, his dad, his friend, his everything! Who would think I would play such an exhausting role in one child’s life. A role that was given to me by God and left for me to figure out in this cruel cold world we live in. His own little world within his happy home is filled with love, understanding and commitment. What bothers me is that little voice that asks aloud, “why, mommy?” As he has gotten older that answer to his question has changed a million times. I am finally comfortable in explaining to him my eight year old version of why I am divorced and his dad lives outside our happy home. As someone once said “you never know”. Ya know what? Now I do.
