I baked the man I loved a pie. He said he wanted cake. 

I bought him a gold watch and he bought me something fake. 

I told him I loved him, but his feelings weren't the same. 

He called me everything in the book except my name 

I asked if we could work together maybe try

He looked in my face and said b##### just die? 

I got up the nerve, dried my eyes, and looked at his face. 

I showed him the door, got on my knees, and gave my heart to God in his place.

I received a call from the school nurse, who put my son on the line. My son told me he was very sad and was feeling depressed. I immediately went to my son’s school to pick him up. Before we left, we met with one of the administrators, who helped my son feel a little better. 

The whole afternoon I couldn’t stop thinking about how sad my son was when I arrived at the school. A few hours later, when I went upstairs for some quiet time, it hit me that my son may be depressed…just like me.

What I love about this image is the raw emotion that shows just how hard parenting can be sometimes.
