Aha Moments are great!

I finally had a day with my son. We cried together and had an old fashioned Sunday. It was like he was 10 again and we watched Television and I made him Kraft dinner. I ate out of the pot like long ago. We laughed about some of the ol times my old boyfriends and funny things he had said when he was little. He was really cute as a baby, no he was a gorgeous baby. He's gorgeous now. We didn't have it easy when we first started out as a single Mother and son. He used to stand at the end of the driveway when his Father was coming to get him. He would stand there and yell "Daddy". Honest to God I'm telling you the truth.
We we're in Halifax when his Father and I split it took me four months get money to move and get an apartment in Moncton. Once we got here I hit the wall. My back went out, I n ever had a sore back in my life. I couldn't get off the couch and depression was setting in and money was running out. My friend Kim called and told me to get my ass to Social Assistance to help me out for awhile. OMG was she crazy??? Me on welfare not for 10 seconds. After a few days of bemoaning my fate my miserable ex, I put Robert in a stroller and walked downtown to the Social Assistance office it was 3 miles and 30 degrees away, I was boiling. Yup I was in full make up and dressed like a socialite. I spoke with this lady and after convincing her (or so I thought) that I was a special case, I found out she had been my Grandmothers secretary at CKCW when she was on Television. She was so lovely to me. She helped me accept my circumstances and put me under the Unemployment umbrella, helped me get into College and I never looked back. I was on S.A. for one month , So when I think of how hard that was, all that is ahead of me has to be a piece of cake. OK not a piece of cake but I will be a stronger and better Sue. And Cancer free.
