The climb


Single mom.

Working hard.

Another day, another challenge.

Striving to do more, give more, provide more.

Education.

The missing piece, the rotted through step amongst the stairs.

Fix the stairs. Resume the climb.

Rise from ashes to succeed. To support. To provide.

Must keep working. Must push on.

I can do this. I will do this. 

This will prove to myself, 

I am flawless.
