I found out that my neighbor left his 12 year old son home alone and he hasn't returned in 6 hours, should I call CPS?
A Chinese woman living in East London was recently arrested by police for leaving her 12-year-old daughter at home to look after her 6-year-old brother while she was away at work. Criminal charges are being considered against the woman for ignoring repeated reminders from the police. This incident reflects the cultural differences between the East and the West, especially the new Chinese immigrants who do not understand the situation in the UK and have too little concept of the law in this regard.

Silence Grows
I have not spoken to my father since 2016, at least, not in the conversive sense. Words have passed between us in one sided conversations or quick reiterations that he will have nothing to do with me. Till 2018 I sent many emails and paintings to him, updates on my life, just as I had before I was banished. Of course, as my denial ended so did the emails.

Discovering Found Families
“But none of that really mattered. I had found my tribe. It felt like a family reunion for the family I'd never really known, a homecoming at the place where I was always meant to be but hadn't known how to find.” – David Levithan, Hold Me Closer: The Tiny Cooper Story

The New American Dream For Women
There was a time when just about every little girl in America dreamed of her wedding day.

Filling the void within
Watching and observing over my life the way others collect things or have a need to spend money on things, stuff, bargains that aren’t bargains if you don’t need them, the need to constantly own more stuff when there is already too much stuff, no space left vacant, has been a learning curve for me and also interesting, it has left me wondering.

The Man Who Cried For Help
I once had a conversation sitting in front of a little empty house with a man who was crying for help. We talked about life, religion, family, and the difficulties that he had been going through alone for years. The reason I remember this man is because of what I felt as he shared a heartbreaking story that I can't recall the details of. I felt the pain that he spoke of, I could feel it inside of my chest. It felt like I was being crushed and there was little hope of a happier life ahead of me. As soon as we finished talking, the feeling was gone.

For You, Money Grew on Trees and Time Stood Still
October 17, 2002; I had no idea that the birth of one life could drastically suck the soul out of another. Six-year-old me was overly excited for you to come. I had spent months watching our family prep for your arrival. We had a baby shower, tons of family members over all the time, and lots of shopping... all for you. Now that I think about it, I felt like I was beginning to lose them before you had even arrived. Your mom stopped playing with me. She was sick all of the time. Your dad's focus was all on your mom. Grandma's attention went towards helping your mom and since grandpa didn't have a mind of his own, his focus was wherever grandma's was.
