I miss my mom, but I am happy she isn't suffering
The day that my mom passed away still haunts me; the image of finding her dead on the couch won’t stop playing in my head. She died in her sleep. So, knowing that I feel at ease knowing that she went peacefully. My mother suffered from pulmonary fibrosis. Below is a video that helps explain how this disease works and what my mother went through.

The Unbreakable Bond
A Simple Life The Jenkins family lived in a modest house on the edge of town. It was small, cozy, and filled with love—something that didn’t come with a price tag. Alice Jenkins, a dedicated mother of three, worked long hours at a local diner, while her husband, George, did odd jobs around the neighborhood. Their children—Sarah, Jason, and Lily—were young, full of energy, and always kept the house buzzing with laughter.

The Unbreakable Bond of Love and the Weight of Grief
There is no greater feeling than to love and to be loved in return. When we experience love, our emotions, affections, and attractions toward those we cherish can feel overwhelming and difficult to control. Love manifests in various ways—it can be the bond between siblings, the care of a parent, or the deep connections shared with friends and relatives. Our cultural backgrounds shape the way we express and receive love, making each experience unique.

"The Embarrassment of That Moment… and the Sweet Chaos of School Memories!"
"The Embarrassment of That Moment… and the Sweet Chaos of School Memories!" School days—a treasure trove of innocent memories. Every little thing about that time feels special—friendly banter, teachers’ stern looks, the rush to complete homework, and the feelings that unknowingly blossom in young hearts. Back then, no one truly understood what love was, but feeling a special connection to someone was inevitable. And in one such moment of confusion, I experienced the most embarrassing situation of my life.

How coming from the 'perfect family' has created hardships in my life
I grew up in an idyllic middle-class family: parents happily married for 40+ years, two siblings that I have great relationships with, no abuse, no poverty, a childhood I look back on fondly. My dad worked incredibly hard to provide for us as the sole breadwinner and my mom was a dedicated homemaker. We went to church on Sundays and ate dinner together most nights. I've always felt like my family was picture-perfect.

The Ties That Bind
A family’s bond is tested when secrets from the past come to light. The McAllister family had always been known for their closeness. In a small town where everyone knew everyone else’s business, the McAllisters were the gold standard for what a strong family should look like. Sunday dinners at their home were a tradition, and their children—Emily, Tom, and Sarah—were known for their love and respect for their parents, Jack and Claire.

Gone Too Soon
Oh DEATH who are you? I HATE YOU. You visited me when I wasn't READY. Never got a chance to say goodbye. WHY. I hope someday this whole concept OF DEATH AND DYING will make moresense to me/us. Sometimes I feel there was a sign, signaling our separation. If really there were signs, then I must admit that I failed to see the signal light. I zoomed pass the stop sign before realizing that I beat the light. My baby brother, permit me tell you that I must have failed seeing the signals you showed me. Yes, looking back to our last days in this planet EARTH, I can begin to see some traces of the RED light signals you projected. I remember one of them which sounded so strange coming from you.

Letting Go
The sound of the rain tapping softly against the window was the only noise in the room, aside from the steady, rhythmic beeping of the IV machine. Evelyn sat by her mother’s bedside, her fingers gently stroking her mom's frail hand, so thin now, as if she were made of paper. The hospital room smelled of antiseptic, the kind of scent that clung to everything, even the air. It was sterile, lifeless, and didn’t belong in a room filled with so much love, sorrow, and unspoken words.

The Hilarious and Horrifying Effects of Drinking and Driving: Why Your Car Deserves Better. AI-Generated.
Ah, drinking and driving—the classic way to turn an average night out into an episode of "World’s Dumbest Criminals." It’s the moment where alcohol-fuelled confidence meets reality, and spoiler alert: reality always wins. If you’ve ever wondered what happens when you mix tequila shots with highway speeds, allow me to paint you a picture (with words, not tire marks).

The Family of Four Words
In a small, peaceful village nestled between rolling hills and lush green fields, there lived a happy family. This family was not large or extravagant, but it was filled with love, warmth, and understanding. The family consisted of four members: Father, Mother, Son, and Daughter. Their lives were simple, yet they found joy in the little things that bound them together. They worked hard during the day, tending to their small farm, and in the evenings, they gathered around the fireplace to share stories and dreams.
