Dream of a Better Life
A
cut above the others. A man of his word. Clean cut. Tall, dark,
and… The sound of the car door opening and Sophie plopping
herself onto the seat jolted me out of my daydream. Raising
Sophie was my 24/7 assignment. Her father and I had divorced
years before. Now he refused to pay child support and didn’t
bother to take advantage of visitation rights with Sophie.
Sophie’s
involvement in sports, music, and honors programs accelerated
over the years. I joined a gym to get fit so that I could try to
keep up with her. Financially strapped and 20 minutes behind in
life, we continuously juggled time, energy, and money shortages.
I longed to be rescued. Where was that man in my life?
“Mom,
get up!” Sophie called just before sunrise. She needed a ride
to school. Coming to full consciousness, I remembered we had not
gotten home from the ball game last night until eleven. No time
for a hot bubble bath this morning, and it wouldn’t soften
this boot camp lifestyle anyway. I want a husband to share this
load.
