I have written in my journal and field notes about many unbelievable artifacts and people. I would have to say this tops my list. Never in my life did I think I would be where I am today. I look at my son and know that there comes a time when a mother must let go even though he has grown into a fine man. He will have trials that will test him ahead in the upcoming mission and I would be a fool not to worry about it. The past few weeks have been an adventure traveling through a portal, of all things, to a distant land, meeting new friends, and fighting in a battle that should never have been. Even though I, the Lady Battle Raven, left behind family and friends along with almost losing my life. I have found as my grandmother would say, “that guy around the corner”, met new friends and I have a feeling that I will have the heart splitting choice of which life I want to live.
