I was a single parent to 3 sons - they are all away from home now, aged 27, 25, and 22.

I am most thankful that they have grown up as gentlemen, and carry the morals and values that I tried so hard to show and teach them. They are all great supports in the community, and I am blessed they have turned out so well. I am thankful for them everyday, and for the way they matured. Never believe that children from a single parents home will be special needs in school - mine were on the honor roll, Captain of the Football Team, and elected Most Athletic Student - they are 3 strong pillars of strength in this world. I am also thankful that I did not use them as pawns, in any game played between my ex and I.
