Unintended arrows housed in the family quiver stand poison poised awaiting a catalyst to ignite an inevitable launch that cannot be aborted.

I fear many families loose sight of just that. Family. Thank You so very much for your comment. It’s safe to say you’re not alone. I do hope the little one’s bring you future festive holidays that you deserve. ☺
