Chronic Ache in the Soul of a Single Parent
There is a chronic ache in the soul of a single parent. It lingers, feeling endless. This ache feels so difficult, especially when you look at other families. They seem so… whole. They seem so joyful and complete. There is a husband and a wife and children in a stroller. Thinking about your single state, you realize how awkward you feel, how out of place at various functions and gatherings. They are all happily together and you’re miserably alone. Disappointment with the current life circumstances just settles in to stay, or so it feels. How could these layers of disappointment be broken up anyhow?

You're going to need more than an umbrella. Nicely done!
Oh, wow....this is too much like reading Revelations - something from which I abstain as often as possible. It's all quite frightening, is it not - and all too recently, more prophetic in its reasoning?
Need more than an umbrella...maybe a ticket out?
I'm too dumb to understand this 😅😅
Apocalyptic humor? Brilliant, Gerard! Although the umbrella may be tad unproductive when the sky falls!
Yeah, I agree with Dana.
At least. Maybe a rock to hide under, too. lol
