Aniya's thoughts

Hi, my name is Aniya and I have one parent. I always thought I am missing out because I don't have a father in my life. My father lives less than 5 miles away and does not even come over and say hi or just to check on me and see how I am doing. All my friends talk about their father all the time and I have nothing to say about mine because I don't know him. I have never even met him.
I found out later in life that he use to hit my mom and call her names. That is why she left him when I was a baby because she loved me more than she loved him and wanted a better life for me. I realized then that she is my mother and father. She has loved me unconditionally and that's all any child need is for someone to love them. If my father really loved and cared for me he would of been in my life regardless of what happened in the past. It would be nice to have a father figure in my life but I am intent just having a mother in my life. She makes me happy and I love her very much.

My mother is my father!
