the Soapbox needs me

The Bristlecone Family Resources Board Meeting this morning reminded me why I feel the need to hop on a soapbox every now and then and preach about helping those battling addiction.

A mom sat in front of us and told us her story. As I sat through her words, I thought about how I sure hope we are all able to give her some sort of strength to fight like heck and be a mama to her child. She deserves to be a mom, and her child deserves to have a mom. Good juju to that mama. Good juju to addicts everywhere, fighting the fight every single day.
