![“...[E]ven I know that being a parent is awful ninety-five percent of the time...As far as I can tell, it's that last five percent that keeps the human race from dying out. Four parts blinding terror, one part perfection. It's like mainlining heroin. One taste of life on that edge and you're hooked.” quote by Kimberly McCreight](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/c1b/kimberly-mccreight-29809_death_e-ven-i-know-that-being-a-parent-is-awfu_59310.jpg)
