"When life gives you lemons, make lemonade" Is a popular saying. That is meant to uplift you in times of misfortune and adversity. 
    
    But for how long will I make lemonade?
    
    What will I do when I get sick of the taste of lemonade and want just orange juice or water? 
    
    That is where I am now. 
    
    The point where I have become sick of my misfortunes. 
    
    Why did my son and I have to live a life like this? 
    
    Why didn't we get an easier one like everyone else?
    
    Day after day I fight against the adversity, against the thousands of odds stacked against me. 
    
    They say the hardest battles are for the strongest soldiers but I just want peace. 
    
    I want comfort, love and security.
    
    That's all I want and need for me and my boy.
