A home can be surprisingly quiet when you’re a single mother. Not always in a sad way — just quiet in a way that reminds you how much space there is between the sounds of everyday life. The children grow older, they come and go, busy with their own worlds, and the house settles into long stretches of calm.
You learn to live with that quiet.
Some evenings it’s just the hum of the kettle, the steady turning of the washing machine, or the distant sound of people talking on the television in the background. Not because you are really watching it, but because the voices fill the room a little, making the house feel less empty.
