single parents are awesome

so i'd just like to say that single parents (the ones who actually try to do their best, of course!) are simply awesome people. in this day and age where such people have to hold down a job, manage the logistics of a household and to make a place a home, and still be able to put their kids first and look after all their physical and emotional needs, the challenges are staggering. to those who are able to do so successfully without messing up their kids or losing their minds, i salute you!

(if not for my own parents and all the help they're giving to me at this time with the household and the kids, I'd be dead of a heart attack by now. thanks, mum & loh tau!)
