["When I was a young girl, and mother of a two year old, my own mom passed away. This was a very sad time for me as I'm an only child and my father wasn't around either."]
Uhmmnnn,that could have been really emotional for you
I can recall when my mother passed away I was very alone, literally. At 20 years old and an only child, you still need your mother. My father wasn't in the picture after she passed either. So I was completely by myself with a 2 year old toddler.  Very sad time.
