The Day I Thought I’d Lose My Baby—And Found Hope Instead
I was 25 weeks pregnant when I went back for another anomaly scan. At 18 weeks, the first scan had flagged two soft markers: a smaller-than-normal skull size and a white spot on the baby’s heart. The doctors said it needed a follow-up at 25 weeks, so there I was, heart pounding, lying on that cold table again. The first time, the technician was quiet, moving the wand over my belly. When the doctor came in, he said, “The heart spot’s shrunk since 18 weeks and should fade by 33 weeks.” Relief hit me—until he added, “But the skull size is still two weeks behind the baby’s biometric age.” My stomach dropped. That word—“behind”—echoed in my head like a warning siren.

The Last Letter She Never Read
Arjun sat by the window, the paper in his trembling hand stained with the drops of tea he hadn’t touched. Outside, the autumn leaves were falling, just as they had the day she left. He remembered every detail the soft warmth of the sun that day, the way her laughter lingered in the air, the weight of his pride that had

When reading Facebook, I came across my granddaughter’s post. She is a good writer. This is a sample of some of her humorous writing, even though I’m sure that was not what she was thinking or feeling at the time. I thought I would share it with you. It is about my great-grandson that she is expecting.

Family Values on Paper: The Paid Maternity Leave Gap in America
Today, when politicians and public figures in the U.S. claim to uphold Christian values while showcasing women like Erika Kirk as symbolic leaders of pro-family organisations, it got me curious to look beyond appearances. According to Christianity (if I understand it right), the foundation of family are children. Christians see family as divine institution, foundational to society, intended for love, companionship, and procreation, and a primary place for spiritual nurture.

Rethinking Calling Your Spouse Your Best Friend
Friendship is a beautiful strand in marriage—but it is not the loom. When friendship becomes the primary frame for a romantic union, the marriage often flattens into a pleasant partnership that lacks the awe, gravity, and spiritual depth that matrimony requires. Calling your spouse your “best friend” sounds tender, but it can quietly reframe a covenant as a convenience, a sacrament as a social bond, and a life binding vow as a lifestyle choice. Friendship should be present; it should not be first.

Earning and Spending, Living Simply, Loving Fully
Life is a delicate balance between earning and spending. For most ordinary families, money is not about luxury—it is about survival, dignity, and love. A husband leaves home early in the morning, facing long hours of work, just to bring back enough to cover the monthly needs. A wife manages the home, stretching every coin, making sure the children never feel a shortage. Together, they weave a life of effort, compromise, and dreams.
