Measles is making a comeback: Can we stop it?
Has the recent news about measles outbreaks in the US surprised you? Didn't it seem like we were done with measles? In the US, widespread vaccination halted the ongoing spread of measles more than 20 years ago, a major public health achievement. Before an effective vaccine was developed in the 1960s, nearly every child in the US got measles. Complications like measles-related pneumonia or hearing loss were common, and 400 to 500 people died each year.

A Mother's Silent Cries
"A Mother's Silent Cries" The night stretched on endlessly wrapping the world in darkness. The silence outside was deceiving because inside her a storm raged. Sophia lay on her bed staring at the ceiling, her hands resting on her swollen belly. The small movements of the baby inside her were a reminder of the life she carried the life she had to protect. She was nine months pregnant but instead of excitement she felt nothing but loneliness. Her heart ached in ways she could not explain. Her body throbbed with pain her back hurt constantly and every movement sent sharp waves of discomfort through her. But worst of all was the emptiness the crushing realization that she was going through this journey alone. She turned her head slightly looking at the man who lay beside her Daniel. Once upon a time his presence had meant everything to her. He had held her close whispered sweet promises and told her he would always be there. But now, he seemed like a stranger. Ever since she got pregnant things had changed. He no longer looked at her the way he used to. There was no warmth in his touch no love in his eyes. He spent long hours at work came home late and barely spoke to her. On some nights he would scroll through his phone endlessly and on others he would simply turn his back to her and fall asleep. Sophia had convinced herself that it was just stress that he was tired that things would get better after the baby arrived. But deep down she knew the truth he was drifting away.

This is a tale of how the whispers of those forgotten can reshape our understanding of time, memory, and what it means to be human.
