to my future child.
Hello, you, Today I was thinking about you. I was working on a project, soon to be the one to determine whether my success may start, and I thought of you. I thought about the empire I am building for you; the world I am constructing to support you as you grow into the beautiful human you will be born to be. I was thinking about all the love I already have for you, and how much it grows every day.

Another Letter To My Little Girl
To my Guardian Angel, Hello again Gigi, it has been a little while since I last took the time to write to you. I'm not going to lie, the last year has been a rough one. For reasons of which I am not aware, your mother has only allowed for me to see you a little over half a dozen times. I need you to know that the entire time I have been forced to be without you has really taken a toll on me. It feels like I have missed out on so much of your life. Like I have been robbed of a boat load of time that I will never be able to get back. Whats even worse is that during this period of my life (the lowest point it has ever been at) I allowed myself to be a victim, what would prove to be one of the biggest mistakes I have ever made. First your mother left me and then she took you away from me too. All of it caused me a great deal of suffering but instead of picking it up and bearing it, as the great Jordan Peterson advised, I allowed myself to be crushed underneath the weight of it. A depressing story... I know! But the good part about it is that I did not permit the circumstances to end there.

The Cost Of Separation: When Parents Migrate And Children Stay In Venezuela
Emigrating is hard, especially leaving loved ones. Those who stay also suffer a "mourning", especially difficult if they are children or teenagers who are separated from one or both parents for a time, sometimes uncertain, while they go abroad, stabilize and make a plan to reunite.

His side of divorce
Well let me start with this is based off my actual divorce and life. Though it’s completely my side and what I have been through. It’s true that you are a divorcing a different person then who you know . The sad part is I don’t think either of us even noticed how much we changed after it all started.

DIFFERENT BUT SAME
As Emma made herself comfortable, laughing and making small talk, her voice drifted over the air until it faded, echoing from the direction in which she was headed. Not alone, of course - she had that gift of drawing along a tow of handsome looking blokes and some ladies too.

Your IG Baby
Yes. Your baby is the friggin cutest. You should flaunt them on your Instagram. I know, I know, some people have feelings about that. Some people make efforts to hide their baby to protect their privacy. Unfortunately, we live in a world where that should be a concern. Social media is still one big experiment and privacy is still a huge issue. I am pretty open on social media, my account is not private. I decided since I am already sharing my life, my son is a huge a part of that so yes, I will share his adorable photos.

I woke up as the opposite Sex!
9:00 AM. I wake up from the voice outside my room, “Raani, bring two more slices of bread in the dining area” Amma hasn’t knocked my room door yet. Why hasn’t she wakened me up? It’s been more than 30 mins from my daily-expected sleeping time. Why have I not bathed yet? If my family is out, having breakfast, why am I still in bed? Why has my mom not asked me to make Omelette or toast the bread? Am I dreaming?

A Father and Son Eating Yogurt and Being Sad
I've worked at a frozen yogurt shop/coffee shop for over 3 years now. Yes that's right, a yogurt AND coffee shop, we sell both. It's a quiet job that has given me a chance to interact with a large variety of everyday people, and witness numerous encounters between those people that I believe can give us all a glimpse into what life is truly about. These are those stories.

Making time for hobbies 101
So if you read my intro, you know a little bit about me by now. If you didn't, I'll give you a short run down. I am a busy body stay at home (for now until my return to full time employment, which will mean a whole new schedule plan - we will cross that bridge when we get there!) mom and farm wife - I look after my one year old son, our four pet cats, our four German Shepherd dogs, plus a herd of fifteen head cattle and four horses. It's winter time, which means my duties are double what they would normally be, since I have to make sure everyone is still thriving in this dreadful cold, and all our maintenance is up to date on our home and our vehicles. Safety and assurance are key when you live outside of town and not near a hospital or emergency services.
