My Struggling Life

I am a single mom and with two kids. Both of them are girls. Their father died before his twin daughters could wait the chance to see him. He died in a terrible car accident. The sum of money the insurance company had paid me was so little that even could not afford me to meet the survival standard. I was so sad at that time that I didn’t have other energy to sue the insurance company.

I cried myself to sleep almost every night for losing the love of my life. But at this time, my parents and my friends had come to my support. They kept telling me that I had to be strong that I had two kids in my body right now and they were continuation of his love. I had to keep them safe until they were born. I should be responsible for them.

Holding this belief, I struggled to give birth to them and I named them Lily and Rose, which were the two flowers their father loved most. But the situation got worse – I didn’t have enough money and energy to bring them up! I had to go to work from 8 am to 5 pm. And when the daily work had been done, I had to go to a cafeteria to take another part-time job! The salary is meager so I still had to take other part-time jobs at weekends in order to make ends meet.

I was so worried about these two babies when I went out to work and left them alone at home. Luckily my parents promised me that they could help me taking care of these two babies. All I needed to do was driving them to my parents’ house when I went to work and picked them up when I was after work. I felt so glad.

One day I went after work much earlier than usually. There was still a long time for my next work in the cafeteria. So I decided to go to downtown to do some window shopping, for I had never been to downtown since they were born. When I was passing the ed hardy store, I suddenly was caught by a very beautiful dress inside the window. It reminded me of the old days when he was still alive. On the first date of us, I was also wearing a dress from Ed Hardy.

Whether I should buy this dress or not? I really liked it very much. But just when I was going to buy this, I suddenly remembered that I still have a lot of things to buy for my beloved kids. Then I finally gave up. Maybe one day I would be rich and then I could buy an Ed Hardy again.
