I read the article about the young, single mother, raising three daughters (May 6). In reading what her life has been until now, and the crosses she needs to bear at this time, it brought to mind that there is a positive to everything.

Some people comment on how young she looks, with three daughters. Well, maybe the comments have an undertone of envy. She should feel proud that she can still look so good after the difficulties she has gone through . . . and . . . she has three beautiful children to call her own.

How many young women can identify with that?

Also, why those children were given to her is surely because she can handle the pressure that comes with raising them. When her daughters are grown is when things will come together and the fruits of her labor will surface.

That is my feeling regarding the young woman. However, there is something that I cannot understand: How she can be “ordered” to take her children to visit their father in prison?

It is unfair (and disrespectful) to those children and their mother.
