Shaping a Small Person

I am a single mother who is raising a crazy kid far from family with little (really no involvement) from the other half of her DNA contributor. I sometimes feel bad for my daughter because even though she is three you can tell she kinda wonders why her dad isn't around like her friends dads. Myself and everyone I know who or has met him thinks she will be better off in the long run with no influence from him. I was raised without my father around as he passed away when I was a baby, but I did have good role models in my grandfather and other family members. Luckily I have some great fiends that are always willing to lend a hand.

 I do the best I can even though I wonder sometimes if my best is good enough. I am not the best with money and I hope I don't pass that down to her because I think some of my issues came from my family.  I do hope she get my compassion, willingness to help those less fortunate (humans and animals), love of travel, and love of reading. Oh yeah and my commonsense, a little goes a long way! This was not at all what I planned to write about this morning, but I guess that can wait until another day.
