Family isn't always necessary blood

Family isn't always necessary blood. Being a single mom has been the hardest thing I've ever done and I've done a few things in my life time. Before having my son I was surrounded by folks that wanted to hang out and go places. 

Well, I quickly learned who my true friends were after having my beautiful boy, Michael. Though I stayed away from the outside world for awhile after having Michael, it was a lot for me to handle on my own especially leaving the house with a little baby. I have to admit I lost many a friends during that time in my life. It truely opened my eyes to the true meaning of friendship.

That brings me to my friend and Michael's God Mother, Jen. She was timid around Michael at first but she stuck it out with me and has become part of our little family.

Jen has embraced both of us and has reached out in times that I needed someone there. Even during the toddler meltdowns and mommy breakdowns she stood by with a helping hand. She indures my many trips to Disneyland, even buying a annual pass so she can help out and take pictures of Michael and I.

I am truely blessed to have a friend family like Jen.
