November 8, 2019-
Coming into the world,
with the Twenty-First Century,
the glowing infant was a source of joy
that her mother had not been expecting.
A family was virtually raised,
almost single-handedly,
by the most indomitable
of women.
Now, came another,
again, with no one,
except her mother,
on whom to depend.
The job was done,
and done well.
The child grew,
knowing nothing but love,
and support,
from her mother,
and a loosely-connected
network.
of aunts, one or two uncles
and man friends,
who happened along,
now and then.
The girl had purpose, though,
and kept her eyes on those goals.
Her keen mind and loving heart,
found their way to the base
of a solid network,
and strong mentors.
That heart also captivated
a well-grounded young man.
Today, they will wed.
I am honoured to be
among those who will
witness this wondrous
beginning.
She walks tall today,
as always.

Beautiful, heart-warming, and moving. Thank you for this, and blessings to you!

This is reminding me of my mother. Single, resilient, and noble, she raised two daughters who are self-sufficient.
