If there’s one thing I love, it’s travel. No house, no kids, just me and my passport, and a career that lets me see the world. My younger brother, Victor, is the opposite. At 30, he’s a teacher, married, and is the father to two amazing twin boys. And those kids? A close up of […]

After Charles, my husband, passed away in a freak work accident, my world fell apart. For three years, I stumbled through life, keeping it together for my 6-year-old daughter, Maggie. She was my everything. Is my everything. Since then, she’s been the biggest reason for me to get out of bed. But after a while, […]

“We need to hire a nanny, darling. I can’t handle three kids, my job, and the house,” Taylor’s wife Polly said when they finished dinner and the kids returned to their rooms. “A nanny?

They were standing in the men’s dressing room behind the church. “I’m not a boy, sir. I’m a man, and I love your daughter. I will not abandon her. It’s our […]

I always thought my husband and I shared everything. Every silly joke, every little worry, and every dream. We knew each other’s quirks and flaws, celebrated our victories together, and helped each other through rough patches. At least, that’s what I believed until Christmas Day when everything I thought I knew came crashing down around […]

The music was soft, a gentle hum of violins blending with the muffled laughter of their classmates. Peter tightened his grip on Sally’s hands, his thumbs brushing over her knuckles like he could memorize her touch. Her mascara had smudged from crying, black streaks lining her flushed cheeks. “I don’t want to go,” she said, […]
