This is a memorial dedicated to single moms in Kamloops, BC. It is found outside the Kamloops Art Gallery, library, and Municipality offices. I think it really gives perspective on what a single mom goes through. The figures left to right are Grandpa of single mom (seated), Single mom and child, Mom of single mom and Dad of single mom.
MomHand to her head thinking, what has my daughter done? Where did I go wrong? How do we deal with this?
Dad
On the phone to the father of the baby and telling him to buck up and be responsible and nobody does that to my daughter and walks away!
Grandpa Not sure why he is sitting on a 5 gallon bucket, but he does look thoughtful. Maybe referencing The Thinker?
Kids these days... irresponsible and wild, what has this world come to? But, yet grandpa is sure that his grand daughter can deal with this and in the end she'll be okay.
Single Mom and child
Well, here I go. Our single mom stands with her child ready to face a new challenge in life. Suitcase by her side she is moving on. Possibly, she is moving back home from being out on her own. Maybe the father of her child has left and she cannot afford to live in their apartment anymore. Possibly, her husband was killed fighting a forest fire to save their home. Regardless, she is continuing, and although her parents are in turmoil and her grandfather hasn't said much they still stand beside her in support.
