A note of Salutation to the Great Single-Mothers

This is a note of salutation to all the Great Women who have somehow or rather, become a single-mum with kids to rise. I know of some single-mum stories, there are single-mothers who gave up their opportunity to seek a new love, to re-marry if they don't find a man who could be kind to their children.
These women, despite coping with their physical & financial strain to raise their children single-handedly, they are also lonely most of the time and needed someone's shoulder to lean on. However, they pulled through and get on with life; they overcome all the difficulties independently without a partner.
A single-mum is able and is willing to go through all the hardship for the good of her children, because she loves them dearly so. The interests of her children are priority. If a man she happened to love is found to be not as kind to her children, she chose to protect their children, not her personal happiness. She turned away or foregoes a 2nd chance in her life to seek another life-partner. She is determine to give her children a safe home and the space that is free of all kind of possible abuses.
A single-mum endured her lives without a partner, always missing a shoulder to lean on, sacrificing her own happiness. She is determine that her children need to grow with full dignity and respect. No one is to harm her child, no one.
The 3 year old boy who was in the news on today's papers has made many of us sad and furious. He is just any innocent toddler, the only difference he has is not having a mum that loves him enough. His mum is not like the other great single-mums; his mum has chosen her lover and put her own happiness at higher priority than him, selfishly and cruelly, all at the expense of his sufferings.
I hope anyone who have grown up under the gentle protective hands of a great mum, especially of single-mum, do not forget what your mum has sacrificed that much for you. Or else, you could have suffered a horrible childhood. |

I would like to define that the single-mums whom I praised and salute to are those who turned single because of failed marriage, husband deceased, separated due to abusive husband, this kind of situation.
For those whom pro-create without responsibilities in mind are not the people I visualized when I wrote this salutation note.
The death of that 3 yr old boy who are tortured to death by his mother's boyfriend has lead me to recall seeing those single mums who brought up their kids with sacrifice of own happiness, discarding their boyfriend when they are found to be mistreating the kids.
