      Stick with a girl , you got it💯. I'm a dude and raised two children, 1 with autism,as a single father, and no support.
      No fam, state money, hell, I didn't even get my $340 in child support.I was supposed to get..lol.
      If I can do it, You can do it too. It won't be easy, but the rewards are magnificent, well, until they're teenagers 😅.

    So, I was incarcerated back in 2003, was doing a year sentence. I was finally sent to work release after a year and it was while at work release I first heard this song and it hit me straight gut,/heart. I hadn't heard any music in a year and wasn't a huge Country fan but...BAM! I'll NEVER, EVER, forget this song and how it inspired me. When I left jail I started several businesses and helped a lot of people. Music has the ability to move people to move mountains. What's your mountain? And song that inspired you?

      I raised my 3 by myself, with a 2nd "husband" who kept leaving us repeatedly. So couldn't count on him...God won't fail you. Read Psalm 68:5. "A father of the fatherless, and a judge (defender) of widows, is God in his holy habitation.
      I raised my children to look to God to meet their needs, & I looked to him for the provision & protection a husband is supposed to provide. Once a man leaves his wife & children, for ANY reason, God steps in. He loves us orphans & widows. (& when the man "puts you away with a bill of divorcement" you are a widow. Trust God. He won't fail you. Not ever. ❤🙏

    This song is my life right now. I've lost my Father, Son and Mother all in the last three years. I'm a teacher and the job continues to get more and more demanding. Just when things seem to be on an upswing... there's the next family crisis or disaster to knock me down. I'm so tired... physically, mentally... emotionally. There's nothing left in the tank. But, as much as I want the world to stop and let me catch my breath... it's never going to stop for little ol' me. And even though they're gone... they believed and trusted in me so much... I can't let them down... I can't stop... as much as I want to. I just got to keep on trying... that's all I can do.

    I give a lotta of credit to a so many DADS out there that WANT to be there for kids. My kids father didn't. But their step dad stepped up & RAISED them he was their dad. He's the one who worked the long hours & when my son was in the hospital he stayed in the hospital with me over night ever night we was there till he went home. No word from his father. 22 years later we are still going strong 7 kids & they r ours 12 grandkids yes they r both from b4 we our other marriages. But we love them all very much as our OWN. God has blessed us very much.

    I love this song. Its good motivation for single dads out there. Its easy to get caught up in the bullshit spewed by your ex wife. As much as she tries to make be, its not about her or the money she thinks you "owe" her. Its about your kid. Be that rock. Be the one that takes the abuse and stands strong. You have to instill the lessons your kids need, so they dont turn into shitheads like their mother. Your kids are only little for so long. Take advantage of the little time you get with them and be the rockstar, dad of the year mofo, every chance you get. They will remember when they are older. They will appreciate it more than you know.

    This song makes me think of my Dad. Every, single, time. It's actually his ringtone on my phone. "I remember daddy sayin keep your eye on the ball, run like hell, play to win,
    Get up when you fall. I'm tryin" always hits home. Dad always encouraged me to look up when down. Through my parents divorce, which was detrimental to the whole family. There's always a way, never, ever give up. Thank You Dad for instilling that in me.
