Hard Times
By adina When my family first told me that we were moving to England, I was devastated. The idea of leaving behind everything I had ever known—my friends, my school, my street, my entire way of life—filled me with fear. Albania had always been my home, and although life there was not always easy, it was familiar. I couldn’t imagine starting over in a completely different place, a country I had only seen on TV or heard about from relatives who had gone abroad.

We Celebrated Mom’s Birthday in the ER
Birthdays were always simple in our house. Growing up, my mom never asked for much—she was the kind of person who preferred handwritten cards over big gifts, home-cooked meals over fancy restaurants, and quality time over grand gestures. So when her 67th birthday came around, I planned exactly the kind of day I knew she’d love. Lemon cake (her favorite), some of her closest friends coming by in the evening, and a cozy dinner with her kids around the table.
