To all single mothers struggling to bring up children
I don't know if people realise how difficult it is for a single mother to balance a working career and being a mother.
If she has more than one child, the resposibility is doubly heavier. Only the mothers who have gone through that kind of experience know about it.
Children who only have their mothers to love and take care of them cherish their mothers' efforts only in the later part of their lives when they are all grown up and have families of their own.
This prayer goes out to all these strong, courageous and determined women who put their chiildren's lives before theirs. May their burden be much lighter and their paths be brightened by the light that is brought upon by the prayers of the concerned.
