“My Support”

“My Support”
QUOTE:  “The bond that links your true family is not one of blood, but of respect and joy in each other's life."
- Richard Bach



I am a single parent and my main source of supports comes from my Mother and Stepfather.   They provide support to me and my children in so many ways.  I could not imagine not having my parents in my life to help raise my children.  I am the only child and I am the mother of 2 children.  My job is located about 45 minutes away from home and It can be challenging trying to take off from work to attend school function and to be at home when the school bus drop my kids off in the afternoon.  I am fortunate to have such a wonderful mother that can fill the void whenever I am absent.  She ASSISTS with getting my kids off the school bus and assisting with homework or afterschool activities.  My stepfather is a certified Mechanic and saves me money by performing all repairs on my vehicle and keeping my vehicle up to par.

Together (mother, Stepfather and I) are a team and our motto is “we stick together like glue…No Matter what happens…We are a team…striving to for excellence”

  1. Tamkio,

    You have a great support system! I think this makes you a good support for children. Being a single parent is not easy! I was a single parent until my second youngest son was 15 years old. I remember how it felt also. If it had not been for my parents and sisters support it would have been very difficult for me too. I pray your continue support and success. You are going to be fine!

  2. Tamakio,
    How wonderful your children have a consistant relationship with their grandparents! We all could use someone like your mom for assistance!

    Several of us have talked about the importance of transportation. Without reliable vehicles my family would be in trouble! My husband and daughters work and go to college 45 minutes from our home. Thankfully our other daughter and I are only 5 miles from work and school. I've thought about applying for jobs, further away that would provide more income, but the extra commute time would be tough for me.
