This week being a Mom has nearly broken my heart in two. "Mother" is, in my opinion, the absolute most dangerous line of work. Adding the adjective "adoptive" just raises the stakes. The highs are the most wonderful mountain top moments but the lows can threaten to destroy you. It is risky business to be sure.

"Life in the raw is both fragile and strong it's both lovely and ugly the same. To live and to love will always be dangerous but it's better than playin' it safe."
