The Long Road Home
Tom Riley left Dalton, Texas when he was twenty-three with nothing but a guitar, a dream, and a whole lot of anger. Back then, he was convinced the world owed him something. His father — a hard man who believed in calloused hands and silence over sentiment — didn’t try to stop him. He just said, “If you’re going, go. But don’t come back unless you’re ready to stay.”

On June 28, 2025, the silence of a summer morning was shattered by a deafening blast in Mir Ali — a region that has seen too much, bled too long, and cried too often.

I thought my family was doomed, then we tried this 7 days rules.
There was a time when I would come home and sit in my car for ten minutes, too drained to walk through the front door. Inside, my house felt cold—not in temperature, but in spirit. The warmth of family dinners, laughter, or even basic conversations had vanished. We were four people living under one roof, but it felt like four strangers trying not to cross paths.

The last text my sister ever sent me .
I still remember the exact time—10:27 PM. I was lying in bed, headphones on, scrolling through my phone with the lights off. The room was quiet except for the low hum of my fan and the occasional ping of a notification. One of those notifications would change my life forever.

Things My Grandmother Buried
I found the map on the back of a pie recipe. It was tucked between yellowed pages in Grandma's old recipe binder, hidden in plain sight under Blackberry Cobbler – 1963. The map was drawn in blue ink, shaky with age, but deliberate. There were seven small Xs, each marked with a label: Hope, Pride, Grief, First Love, Regret, Truth, and Freedom.
