"Days before my husband contracted Covid, I remember saying out loud to him how excited I was for everything to shut down; I couldn’t wait to have him to ourselves. How naïve was I? He’d be sick less than a week later, and gone a month after that."

“I finally felt the notorious pink cloud. I remember looking up at the sky and thinking, 'Wow, is this what HAPPY people feel like ALL the time?' I started facing my demons.”

“They imagine your home being a toxic environment. They imagine your children wanting nothing to do with you. The reality is, for the first 24 hours, we mostly talked about how much she loves you.”

“The Army told Jason it was time to move, but she wasn’t legally free. With tears in his eyes, he wrapped me in his arms and said, ‘We’re ripping our family to shreds trying to keep it together. But we can’t leave her.’ The boys hadn’t even heard what we decided; they simply rallied to their sister. They humbled me right down to my core.”

"Tonight I walked into the tanning salon. The employee seemed very annoyed and not welcoming. At first I thought, 'Well, someone's not in a good mood.' Then I looked down to see a sick baby sitting in his car seat beside her. She'd run out of sick days. As I lay in the tanning bed, I couldn't stop thinking about the overwhelmed look on her face."

"It’s a mild, dreary February day in southeast Kentucky. It's WWII exam day. 50 multiple choice questions, 100 points. Exams are distributed, students read and bubble, time passes. One student hands me his answer sheet and turns. As he walks away, I notice an asterisked note across the page. 'Wait, what?' So many questions rush in."

‘I woke up and decided to take a pregnancy test. I couldn’t explain it. Almost immediately, two lines showed up. Then, my phone started ringing. I looked down and saw our social worker from our adoption agency was calling.”

Disclaimer: domestic abuse

"My friend fled her abusive boyfriend and drove to my house. My house wasn't safe, though. He followed her. He told us what he was going to do to us. I couldn’t even feel the physical hurt. Mentally, I just...left. That’s when Camie, my pit/lab mix, came barreling into the room. She was on top of him in the blink of an eye."

"We started making visits with his siblings. This one forever changed my life. I felt a little tug on my shirt. He said, ‘Are you Jeremy’s mom?’ I said, ‘Yeah buddy, I am.’ And then his crushing response was, ‘Will you be my mom too?’ I cried. I hugged him. I was speechless."

"I heard a knock on the door. There, on my doorstep, stood this beautiful, petite little girl. 'My name is Alexis.' I realized she was alone. 'Are you sure about adoption? 'You don't think 3 children is a lot?' 'You realize this means you will be financially responsible for them, right?' I was already a single mom, what was I thinking? My heart immediately dropped. YES, YES, YES. I just couldn't say no."
