Ps in am a hair dresser

I hear all sorts of stories while at work. From all sort of people from all walk of life. Today am older gentleman told me he was diagnosed with Alzheimer's. I don't know why but his story hit me hard. This a a disease where  there is no cure. Nothing can be done to help you. If I was him id be depressed and who knows what else. Yet he was the most upbeat, full of life, positive man I've ever met. He inspired me while I've a life a head of me. While I have all the time in the world. ❤

I'm still here

You can ignore me all you want. I've become a shadow in your life. One that you don't see. A shadow who you can try to run from; but we will still be here.  Do you wonder about me. About her? She is your daughter. A child you know nothing about. A child who knows nothing about you. One day she will ask. And she will learn the truth.

Back ground check

I'm well then. I've been a single mom since day one. I was living in Edmonton at the time. Right before I found out I was expecting her dad decided to ask someone else out. Cool. Told him. Ovbi he wasn't all that thrilled. He suggested termination. I said hell no. He was kinda around the first little bit of pregancey untill his crazy gf didn't want anything to with me.
Meh. I chose to carry on with my life and see where it took me. I worked up untill the end of Sept2013.  Packed up my little car and moved back to no good ol salmon arm. ( all my family is here) i sat  around for most of October. She was born November.  Huge newborn. 9 lbs. Named her Athena Raine.   I took a year of maternity leave and adjusted to being a new mom. Lots of sleep deprivation and lonely moments. Finally after about a year got over her dad deciding to not be in the picture and was able to make peace with it. The year flew by. Last Sept I went back to work. Which sucked getting back into it after a year off :p now im working part time split between  at a salon and a barber shop. I chose to only work pt so I can be home with her a little more :) can't say I'd change much. It's been a good challenge. She has made me re evaluate what is important in my life. My social life has taken the biggest hit as most of My friends don't have kids and don't understand that you can't take a 1 yr old quadding lol.
