Father: The Unwavering Pillar of a Child’s Life
Father: The Unwavering Pillar of a Child’s Life A father is not just a parent; he is an unsung hero, a silent force who plays an irreplaceable role in shaping the lives of his children. He is the invisible hand that guides them through life’s challenges, providing them with the strength, love, and wisdom needed to face the world. A father is like a sturdy tree under which his children find shelter, peace, and security. His role, although often understated, is incredibly vital. A father is the foundation of a child’s life, constructing their future through his hard work, sacrifices, and love. His life, full of struggles and sacrifices, rarely comes into the limelight. Instead, his children see only the results of his labor—the care, love, and protection he offers without asking for anything in return.

How I prepared for Marriage and Motherhood in my Twenties
Years ago, no one would have described me as family-oriented. Despite frequently talking about my family, I didn't truly value or appreciate having one. The dysfunction I recognised often clouded my view and my frustrations were evident in how openly I vented to others. While I made attempts to be grateful, I frequently found reasons to complain about members of my family. Immaturity and a lack of discernment hindered my ability to show compassion, failing to recognise that, like me, my family were flawed individuals also in need of healing and love.

Do You Remember the Bite from Your Friend's Lunchbox?
Do You Remember the Bite from Your Friend's Lunchbox? The true joy of childhood wasn't hidden in textbooks but in the secrets nestled within those small lunchboxes. When the school bell rang, announcing the lunch break, it felt like a mini celebration of happiness. Each child eagerly opened their lunchbox, but beneath those lids lay more than just food—it was love, affection, and a treasure trove of memories.

The Bias and Prejudice of Infertility Grants
My wife and I have been trying to have a baby for some time now and it appears that we may need to go the IVF route in order to make it happen. For those who are not aware IVF is a very expensive process that the vast majority of health insurance plans (including our own) do not cover. We have been exploring various financing options and discovered that there exist a large number of grants from an array of organizations that will pay for some or all of a given couple’s IVF treatments. Some of these are based on financial need and we do not qualify for any of them with our combined income exceeding the maximum cap. Others are targeted at specific minority or other under represented groups. This story is not about those grants, and I cannot comment on their content as once I saw we exceeded the income cap or were not members of the targeted group I examined them no further. There are however a very large number of fertility grants that are not meant to help the less well off or targeted to specific groups. These grants can be “won” by anyone, and in tone and appearance they feel a lot like a lottery or other contest. Most require that you agree to participate in some events or activities if you are selected as a winner to promote the entity providing the grant, and to share the story of your IVF in real time as you spend the grant money and hopefully end up with a child or children in the end. I have no problem with this and totally understand why a company providing free money to help couples conceive would want to boast of that kind act and using the winners as free advertisement seems as good a way as any.
