Motherhood is Not for Wimps

This is parenthood: the banality of life punctuated by moments of sheer terror far greater than any you feel when it's just a matter of your own existence. We teeter on the edge of disaster constantly, and then return just as quickly to the normality of denial that allows us to function without thinking about all the things that can kill our kids in a day.

Yes.

Hi Ada re: your not for wimps. Look up bbc front page the article with the crying trooper. Open it up and look at the side tag award winning pictures. I'm not sure you want to post this.

Thanks Marc.

The link is

and click on "picture in the left hand column".

Some of the pictures are hard to look at but they are powerfully beautiful in a way.
