The most important four words for a successful marriage: 'I'll do the dishes.'

The Empty Chair at the Dinner Table
It started with an argument — the kind that burns through love faster than fire through paper. My brother, Amir, and my father hadn’t spoken in nearly two years. The reason? Pride, misunderstandings, and words said in anger that no one really meant but everyone remembered.

The Day My Dreams Turned to Ashes
I was 15, but I never felt like the other girls my age. While my classmates giggled over crushes and school gossip, I’d outgrown them long before. My body matured early—curves, striking features, and those rare colored eyes that turned heads wherever I went. I stood out, not just among my peers but in a way that drew older girls, 4 or 5 years ahead, into my circle. I compared myself to them, feeling more woman than teenager. The compliments poured in—my beauty was “unmatched,” they said—and with each word, my pride swelled. I saw myself as a captivating woman, ready to charm and love, far removed from the innocence of youth.

Sometimes, love hits a tough spot where not talking only makes the ache linger. It may calm things for a while, but heartfelt words can truly help bridge the gap. When this happens therapy can be viewed as a lighthouse helping individuals or couples navigate toward the light. It is difficult to decide between couples therapy vs. individual therapy, because both methods serve distinct goals. Both foster understanding and cooperation and help increase individual insight.

The Day I Thought I’d Lose My Baby—And Found Hope Instead
I was 25 weeks pregnant when I went back for another anomaly scan. At 18 weeks, the first scan had flagged two soft markers: a smaller-than-normal skull size and a white spot on the baby’s heart. The doctors said it needed a follow-up at 25 weeks, so there I was, heart pounding, lying on that cold table again. The first time, the technician was quiet, moving the wand over my belly. When the doctor came in, he said, “The heart spot’s shrunk since 18 weeks and should fade by 33 weeks.” Relief hit me—until he added, “But the skull size is still two weeks behind the baby’s biometric age.” My stomach dropped. That word—“behind”—echoed in my head like a warning siren.

The Last Letter She Never Read
Arjun sat by the window, the paper in his trembling hand stained with the drops of tea he hadn’t touched. Outside, the autumn leaves were falling, just as they had the day she left. He remembered every detail the soft warmth of the sun that day, the way her laughter lingered in the air, the weight of his pride that had

When reading Facebook, I came across my granddaughter’s post. She is a good writer. This is a sample of some of her humorous writing, even though I’m sure that was not what she was thinking or feeling at the time. I thought I would share it with you. It is about my great-grandson that she is expecting.
