" First and most important I learned if I do the right thing God will provide for me and my son. Second I learned being a single parent is not as easy as I thought it would be.....I have come to see that things I once thought to be important are really just ways to distract myself from the challenges of life and responsibility. I have learned that not giving up can lead to success, or the road to it....." V.S. single father of a 2 year old (March 2012)
