What’s going on? I just lost my mom in a freak accident at the age of 59. She was my best friend. We lost my grandmother two years ago also in a freak accident. I am now the only woman in my family with my young daughter and I feel very alone and discouraged without my support system to lean on. I’m devastated and could just use some love.

What do you love most about this girl? I realize most people don’t nominate themselves but I’m pretty much all I’ve got left. I think if you’d have asked my mom she would tell you how funny I was, and that I got that from her. That I am smart and patient and a dedicated mother. And I’d tell you I got that from her.

P.S. Just that I appreciate your consideration and that such a thing exists.
