The Tenacious Mama: Confessions of An Adoptive Mother

E7: Devastating loss...no confession today
Due to the recent and very sudden loss of my family's home of almost 40 years in the Pacific Palisades fire, instead of a confession, I will be reflecting on the memories that made their house a treasured home. If you know others who have been impacted by the fires, feel free to share this episode with them. Their grief and sorrow must be as raw and incomprehensible and my family's.
