Teen Parenthood
"You're having a baby? Congratulations! You two are going to be such great parents." I stared at this girl, barely a classmate to me, someone I barely knew well enough to greet in passing when we noticed each other in the hallways. What did she know? How could she say that? Did she know something I didn't? No, it was most definitely a hollow, empty compliment thrown to a couple of teenagers that had messed up. I was being pitied by a stranger. Steeling myself, I bared my clenched teeth into what I hoped resembled a smile and tried to ignore the hot iron bar welling up in my chest.

To Miss Evie
I will be loved, and I am loving in return. Your intentions in life right from the moment I saw your beautiful soul was taken away from you. Your entire world was gutted by the one and only evil and potent spirit of what they call the satanic scriptures and the Babylon of life. We did not ask to be born in such a hostile environment, for your intentions throughout life were always innocent and beautiful, you were given to the hands of the devil. You were handed in the palms of my worst nightmare and your living nightmare.

Our First Son
My wife and I have been together for around about 6 years. We started talking online years ago, through a friend, but nothing ever really came of it. I was quite nervous when it came to girls, incredibly shy in fact, so the idea of meeting her was not something I really looked forward to particularly, not that I didn't want to meet her, because I did, but there just seemed to be too many obstacles in the way to meeting her, so we never met.

5 Signs of Dementia
The Top 5 Signs of Dementia Today, elderly patients are often diagnosed with dementia. According to the World Health Organization, dementia impacts approximately 50 million people globally. The Centers for Disease Control released a study in September regarding the impact of this illness on more than 5 million American patients. This number is expected to more than double by 2060. This means there will be a large population of families witnessing their loved one lose all sense of who they are.

Boy Mom
I became a mom at the age of 19 and I had no idea how drastically my life would change. He was a beautiful little boy with a quick smile and a laugh that could light up the room. Unfortunately his father and I did not make it and got divorced. (Probably the best thing for us!) This posed a lot of challenges over the years but that is another story.

Family, Friends, and Zoom during COVID 19
Being separated from your child is the hardest thing any loving parent can go through. Words can’t begin to describe the feelings of loss, emptiness, and sadness that a parent can feel during this time. Because of COVID 19, my stepson reached out to me and his did for the first time in 5 years of separation. While COVID 19 has been a traumatic experience for everyone, I am Thankful that the recent events had allowed people to come together in a virtual world using modern communication that would not have been an option 20 years ago.

Why? Because, Because.
After my mom split, it was the all about the three musketeers- Dad, Edvan, and I. Ed- my dad- drank A LOT, but we were kids, and so I guess we didn't mind. Janet- my mom- took the one vehicle we had to get around, so we walked around a lot, it was fun, mostly.

MOMMY FOREVER
My newborn was sleeping in my arms and I was looking at his face with his little, but manly, fists clenched under his chin. He was sleeping and probably didn’t have any idea what was going on. We had already packed our bag and ready to go home when the nurse entered the room.
