"Perseverance is Remembrance" outlines the struggles, and strength, but also the endurance of heartbreak time and time again. This is a true and very personal story of my life. While it may seem long, it briefly skims the troubling experiences I have had in the past with single parenthood and dating to find someone to complete me. While today I am proud of my memories, this project has allowed me to reflect on my life and forced me to realize that people are seasonal and for good reasons. Even though Hakeem betrayed me, I share something with him that is more sacred than my own life. While Nate loved me, his love for something and someone else was much greater. And the pain I experienced as my face hit the ground, will always make me remember Tony. The tales told in this book didnt capture all but it did capture enough experiences in my life to make me realize that my life is what I make it and not what anyone else says it should be. These characters are real even though the names are fictitious. My story is my legacy and the legacy of so many other single parents today and by sharing my personal story, I am encouraged to show others that "Perseverance is Remembrance".
