I have been thinking about a great friend of mine that I love as a sister. She has two kids, and is unmarried, and she recently moved closer to me, which I think her mother counted as one of her blessings that her daughter had moved close to me. What gets me, is that this friend, lives in a place that is run-down, the electricity in the house isn't worth the rent she pays, she has basically gone through the house and making small repairs here and there. First her A/C went out. The landlord supposedly came out (while friend was at work) with an A/C guy to "fix" the A/C and yet it wasn't fixed automatically. Then after that she had electricity problems this week where her power was cutting off and back on. That is a hazard especially if you are living in that place and have kids. I have told her she could come over here with the kids and stay until they can get that fixed but she won't do it. Thinking she wants to wait and see what happens. You have to realize that she doesn't depend on anyone to help her out when it comes to raising her kids. Her son's father is currently in prison, and that isn't good, she has to deal with the fact that she needs a great man in her life that will love her and support her and take care of her kids as well. I don't know many single guys who would take on something like that. Her mother keeps asking me to find her a good man, but all the guys I know personally, are either married or taken. I guess we will have to hope for the best in both situations with my friend though.
