In my previous blog post, I explained how
getting the call about my husband’s passing changed by life. The grief I felt
was indescribable. I had just lost the man I wanted to grow old with.
Unfortunately, I didn’t know back then that
I would be enough; enough to be a single Mother. Even sitting here, typing this
blog post, I still have to be honest and say that I don’t like being a single
Mother but God put here for a reason.
The loss of my husband caused sadness and
pain but it also taught me (without realising) that I am strong enough to do
what I have to and that I am ENOUGH.
I was ENOUGH because after walking and
working like a “robot” for the first two years of my child’s life, I woke up
one day and made the decision to stop being a grieving widow and start becoming
a growing woman.
I re-discovered who I was as a woman, a
mother and a single woman. I realised what I love doing, what I enjoy and what
kind of person I want to be moving forward.
Now, I know I was ENOUGH then and I am
still ENOUGH today.
I am ENOUGH to raise my child on my own,
the best I can. I am ENOUGH to follow my passion and purpose.
And now, as my child starts high school and
I start my business, I know that I am ENOUGH because God created me to ENOUGH
for the path He has created for me.
YOU. ARE. ENOUGH…..AND YOU ALWAYS WILL BE!
There is always a reason this happens, it has made you a strong, caring, loving person and a wonderful mother. You have the strength and faith in yourself that can only take you forward, you will always look back, to other happy times, but you can do so now with a little pain but a whole lot of joy for the future. I wish you every success in what ever you want to achieve, I know that you can do it Chantel. Lots of love always. PS I might not be with you but I think of you often.
