“It’s a kitten sitting upright just shaking like a leaf. Some jerk had spread glue on its paws and stuck it to the road. She was wet and freezing, and NO ONE STOPPED.”
“This is very uncommon for your age. We normally don’t see anything like this in people under the age of 50. You need to have all the kids you want before we remove it. We will leave it in until you can’t handle the pain from it anymore.”
“Mothers, if we don’t have each other’s backs like this, then how can it be a smooth experience for all? This is a village and it only works if we all do our part.”
“The pain came back with a vengeance. We watched our beautiful, vibrant, sassy daughter waste away. Then his girlfriend’s mother got an urgent phone call. ‘Can you please tell Wade?’ I held that 6-foot, 175-pound boy. I rocked him as he asked if he would lose her. He says they are his strength, and the girls say he is theirs.”
“I feel as if I failed him as a parent, I didn’t protect him from this environment. But the scariest part was the fear in his eyes.”

I leaned up at one point and could see her legs, lifeless.”
“I wasn’t there to get back together with him. I refused, only to feel him latch on to me. I started screaming at the top of my lungs for help and out of fear for my life.”
“My son died of the flu in only 48 hours, on Christmas Day. I delayed my child’s flu shot for a wellness visit after the holidays. Leon never made it to that appointment.”
“‘She wants to hang out with me like every day.’ That’s the last sentence I said before the phone call that changed my life, and broke my heart.”
