Alive and Clucking

Sent to me by an anonymous and assumedly well-meaning and not at all mocking source...........



And just as I was about to lose all hope, it suddenly occurs to me that Sally Field was right the whole time, I can't just run off to Wellfleet and get married like everything's normal, like nothing's wrong, I can't just go on pretending like there's not a chicken pot-sized hole in my heart, I just can't do it....not without my daughter.

I will scrimp and I will save and the other children will go hungry for as long as it takes, but I will find her. By God, I will find her.
