What happens here on Red's Wrap is all over the map. There is no single theme, no overarching gripe, no malady of my own or others that dominates. I write about what seems important or interesting at the moment and what aims me toward hope. I write stories, essays, poems - whatever fits the day and the mood. Nothing stays the same, here or anywhere. That's a good thing. Happiness. It's relative.

Thank you! That means a lot coming from you.
Reblogged this on Red's Wrap.
Yes, indeed. It is a big decision!
I thought you could lose all those things having your own child, but I’ve read some of your other adoption tales (as well as those written by others), so I know it’s just not the same.
That is some serious 42 words
You speak the truth.
Oh but what a lifetime of blessings if could offer! Nice job!
