My name is Lin.
I'm 29 years old.
I've been a single parent for about
seven years now.
My name is Shea and my son's name is Leon.
He's four.
I'm the father to 5-year-old Cydney.
My fiancé was sleeping
and I had a dream that I was pregnant.
And I went into the bathroom
and took the pregnancy test
and I could not have been happier.
He broke up with me that night.
Well, I knew I had to get myself together
because that was not a place I wanted to be.
I need to do something
to make a change.
Shortly after Cydney was born,
Cydney's mother still had some complications
and she passed away December 9, 2011.
There are so many moments where I look to my side
expecting to share that moment
witnessing something that Leon's doing
with someone and they're not there.
You share your moments with solitude
instead of someone else.
I felt so
totally
alone
frightened
embarrassed.
Yeah, there were times I'd break down.
I really started to lose faith, like I just can't do this.
Spiderman.
Spiderman helps people.
Batman
Because when people need help they go fast
and they go and help them.
Even in the middle of the night.
My favorite superhero is Bat Girl.
She saves the day and keeps people safe
and fights bad guys?
I think making sacrifices to do better.
He's strong and uses it for the right reasons.
Superwoman. I like her.
And she kind of reminds me of my mom.
Like how Superwoman always wants to help other people,
my mom always helps me.
I mean, I guess I could say my mom is my Superman.
My mom is my Superman!
I'm realizing my mom really does everything for me
like Superman would do everything for the city.
I think my dad is a superhero,
because I'm scared of thunder
and every time there's a thunderstorm
he just stays with me
I try and act really cool when I'm at home.
I'm like, "By mom! I'm going out."
But I think I really need to tell her
that I absolutely love her.
She's done everything right.
Even if she's made a mistake, it's been right.
And she's such a role model for me.
What?!
Oh my God. That was a good one.
How are you? I love you, mom.
My mommy loves me and I love her.
It's when I see how he can treat other people
and how sweet he is, I know I'm doing something right.
Every time he does things for me
and I do the same thing for him.
We just both like it.
Daddy.
Yes?
I think you're a good parent.
Aw thank you, baby.
