I really hate to sound cliche’, but there is one person that comes to mind as I read this topic - my son.  I know that every proud parent will say that their child is their reason for living.  We can’t help it...it’s the truth.  Without my son, I know my life would definitely not be the same.

Before I got pregnant, I was living the life and I was enjoying it. I could do whatever I wanted without having to answer to anyone and then...BAM!  I’m pregnant.  The fun train stopped abruptly and I had to stop with it.  I was on a high risk pregnancy and unfortunately my son was a little over 2 months premature.
I’ve learned so much from him.  The biggest thing that I’ve taken away from my experience as a mother and single parent is patience.  My son pushes my buttons20, but I wouldn’t have it any other way.  He’s changed my entire perspective on life.  Before, I was young and selfish.  He’s forced me to be a better person and for that I am eternally grateful.  He’s the reason for my being and I wouldn’t trade that for the world.
