Becoming a grandparent makes getting older something to look forward to - all the fun of parenting, without the hassle.
Summers in Her Hands
Some people carry seasons inside them. My grandmother carried summer. Not the loud summer of crowded beaches and restless highways, but the soft kind—the one that tastes like ripe fruit, smells of drying laundry in the sun, and sounds like the quiet hum of someone you trust moving around the house.

The Story of Scattered Words
God has given the mother great concern, which is why Bano Qudsia has written that if a mother has eight sons and seven are admitted to heaven and one to hell, the mother will remain restless even in heaven and will wish that the eighth son be sent to the one who is in hell. A mother never worries about herself, she always worries about her children.

The Marriage That Ended Over Marmalade. AI-Generated.
I didn't think the end would come over toast and marmalade, but that's exactly how it happened. We were sitting at the kitchen table on a Tuesday morning, sunlight streaming through the window like nothing was wrong. He was reading something on his phone, I was spreading butter in careful, even strokes, and somewhere in the silence between us, I realised we'd become strangers who happened to share a mortgage.

A Mother’s Last Wish . AI-Generated.
In the remote village of Chakwal, life moved to the rhythm of seasons — the wind carrying the scent of wet soil and ripe wheat, and the canal’s gentle murmur providing a constant lullaby. Among the narrow mud-brick lanes lived Amma Farida, an 80-year-old mother whose strength and wisdom were known to all. Her hands were worn and calloused from decades of tending fields and household chores, yet her touch remained soft and tender. Her eyes, though clouded with age, held a spark that spoke of years of unbreakable love and tireless sacrifice.

The Corruption of Childhood Innocence: How Modern Media Helped Rewrite the Family and the Iconic Berenstain Bears
There was a time when The Berenstain Bears stood for something good. It was a series that helped children understand responsibility, honesty, humility, and faith in simple, practical ways. The lessons were gentle and timeless. Papa Bear could be silly, but was never degraded. Mama Bear was steady, but without being domineering. Together they modeled respect, teamwork, and the kind of family order that reflected biblical truth: the father leads as the head, the mother respects and nurtures, and the children yield and learn.
