I used to think my father and I spoke different languages. Not because we didn’t understand each other, but because we never learned how to say the things that really mattered.

Freedom Without Consequence: The Lie That Destroyed the Family
Modern society claims to champion equality, but when it comes to parenthood, the system could not be more unequal. The law grants women near-total control over reproduction while holding men accountable for outcomes they cannot influence. This imbalance has produced not just unfair laws, but a moral double standard that punishes responsibility and excuses recklessness.

5Ways I Learned to Stay Strong Without a Parent. AI-Generated.
The Strength I Found When One Parent Walks Away Growing up without a parent around is hard. Every small win feels heavier, and every challenge feels intensely lonely. I know this because my dad left during my final year of high school and completely stopped supporting me through university. My little brother, only eleven at the time, felt it too. Watching him struggle with confusion and sadness made the absence brutally real for me. I realized I had to become not just a sister, but the source of stability he could rely on.

The War of Understanding: Why Men and Women Fight Differently
Men and women often see the same moment through different lenses. What one perceives as confrontation, the other experiences as connection. What one calls “silence,” the other calls “space.” Beneath nearly every conflict between men and women lies not hatred, but misinterpretation. The battlefield is rarely the issue itself. It is language, tone, and expectation.

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.

Grandchildren Overnight Again
Okay, my grandchildren are probably a year or so younger than the photo, being at eleven and twelve years old. It isn’t all bad! Much of our time together was fun. I am just feeling my age, with very little patience for the morning scramble, “Grandma, can we go to our house before school. I didn’t bring clean pants.” We don’t have time. I will quickly wash them.

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.
