My world had been shattered into a thousand pieces.  Sure, my heart had been broken by men before, but this…this was a heartbreak like no other.  This hurt a depth of my soul I never knew existed.  The pain of being erased from my babies’ lives was unbearable. 

No order was given on the day of our trial; therefore, I had no idea when I would see my little humans again.  The unknown left a pit in my stomach that ached with a vengeance. 

Fight or flight was all I knew.
