My Summer vacation brings an unexpected invitation from Dad's rich identical twin brother, to spend the season at the family cabin near campus. As we wander through the forest, sharing tales of adventure and mischief, our bond grows stronger and stronger everyday. “Tyler if I had a son I’d...

My cousins and my brother and I were exploring Coney Island, we saw the sights, hung out at the arcades and before we went back to the apartment we decided to go and get something to eat, we had some money on us but not much so we decided to see what we could get at one of the vendors. This was back in the early 90’s when most of them had dollar slices of pizza wherever we went. So we got 4 pieces of pizza, should have been $4 because that’s the price we were used to. The guy wanted to charge us $24 at $6 a slice. We argues with him because one of my cousins already took a bite being so hungry. But at the least we owed $4. We gave the other slices back and refused them but had to pay for the partially eaten one, it was embarrassing that an adult would try that on a bunch of kids. We told our uncle what happened and he went back and yelled at the vendor. He was familiar with them because he used to get slices all the time from the same guy and he never charged my uncle that price. I couldn’t imagine paying that exurban amount, like this guy who was being charged $54 for a hotdog by one of the vendors. At first he thought it was a typo and it was $5.40 but the vendor. Learned it up when he said no it was $54. Would you have paid that amount? I would have walked away, clearly he was trying to possibly scam a the man for looking like a tourist. Part of the experience when visiting a new area is the street food but it’s becoming more and more a chore avoiding places like this.

Today is a big day for our family. We bought our teenage son his first car. It’s not new. It’s older. It has scratches, a side mirror that looks like it’s been through a battle, and plenty of character. But it’s his. And that’s what makes it everything. Neither of us grew up with much. We didn’t have parents who could hand us a car or give us “extras.” If we wanted something, we had to work for it - or go without. That reality shaped us. It taught us grit, but it also planted a quiet promise in both of us: our kids will have more than we did. Not more in the sense of entitlement. More in the sense of opportunity, support, and being seen. But we’ve always been intentional about something else too… making sure our children understand the value of what they’re given. Because things mean more when you know what it took to get them. This car didn’t just appear overnight. It came from months of sacrifice. Pennies set aside from my monetization. Overtime hours and extra shifts my husband worked when he was already exhausted. Small decisions, over and over again, choosing long-term joy over short-term comfort. My son has shown that he can do his part He works in children’s ministry. He already has a summer job lined up working with youth. He maintains a 4.0 GPA. He pours himself into music - playing multiple instruments and even stepping up to help direct his church youth band. He works hard. So today, we got to give something back. When we handed him the keys, he tried so hard to hold it together. But I saw it… his face, the way his eyes filled up even as he tried to hide it. That moment… I’ll never forget it. That’s what makes this one of the best parts of being a parent. Not just being able to provide something you never had… …but seeing your child appreciate it in a way that tells you they get it. And it’s paid for in full!

#WATCH | Chandigarh | Jaswinder Kaur Bath, wife of Colonel Pushpinder Singh Bath, who was allegedly assaulted by Punjab Police personnel in Patiala, says, "We went to meet DGP Gaurav Yadav, but he was busy. We waited for one and a half hours, but then he left without meeting us. He is an army officer's son, but he still did so... I am raising my voice just because my son said that he would not stay in this country as it is not worth staying. I had to prove to him that justice would be given... Then, we went to meet the governor, and he had tears in his eyes when I spoke to him and when I showed him the pictures and the brutality. He called the DGP and told him that FIR is my right with all the names and to please do what is needed. The governor then told us that if the FIR is not registered, we should get back to him. I want to thank the governor for standing up with us. I came to know through the media that SSP Nanak Singh had said that a magisterial inquiry had been set up, but the FIR could not be changed... Today, when everyone was standing up with me, all the politicians started calling me, but I didn't pick up a single call as this was not a political fight. They cannot say that we were under the influence of alcohol as it is there in the (medical) report of a government hospital... A police inspector told me that we cannot add the names of some police personnel in the FIR as they have been awarded as encounter specialists by the DIG and are about to be promoted. They said that police will do the needful but cannot name them in FIR ..." (21/03)

I highly recommend listening to this moving conversation between Chuck Swindoll and his daughter, Colleen Thompson, which took place in 2022, when Swindoll was 88 years old. In it, he shares details about the pain of being raised in a home where he was shown almost no affection and was bluntly informed that he had been "a mistake." His concluding prayer is poignant and reveals the heart of a man who has learned through hardship to be humble, grateful, joyful, and content: "Lord, we are grateful that You do know the way that we take. You never learn that way. You know it. You knew it would be like it is today, and You knew that in eternity past. You're always on our side. No one could love us more than You love us. No one could have more compassion for us or have our good at heart more than You do. So grateful... Remind us of David's words: 'I waited patiently for the Lord, and He inclined unto me and heard my cry. He lifted me up from a horrible pit and put my feet on a rock and established my goings. He put a new song in my mouth even praise to my God. Many will see it and fear and trust in the Lord.' Thank you, Father, for this day and for helping me get through this story. Thank you for my original family and all of its struggles and difficulties, that my mother never aborted me, that she bore me. And though my mom and dad really didn't know me and who I was, they cared for me. They fed me. They clothed me. They provided shelter for me. Thank you for that. And today, I honor them. For a brother and sister who did so well in life, and now they're with You, thank you for the reminder of their lives. Finally, thank you, Father, for my wife, Cynthia, who has loved me all her life and for our children and grandchildren and great-grandchildren, such gifts, such hope they bring to us in this stage of our lives. We rest in You, Father, our Shield and our Defender. Through Christ, we pray. Amen."

taehyun wrote 'bird of night' to give us comfort. a gentle hand reaching out in the quiet hours, when the world feels too heavy to carry on our shoulders. he crafted it for our sleepless nights, the ones where anxiety whispers the loudest, and peace feels the furthest from reach. he wrote it for the lonely parts of us; the parts we often hide from the world, the ones that ache to be seen and long to be understood. in every note and lyric, there's a quiet reassurance: you are not alone. his voice becomes a lullaby for the soul, wrapping around us like a soft blanket in the darkness. 'bird of night' is more than just a song. it’s a sanctuary, a refuge we run to when everything else feels like it’s falling apart. in the stillness of the night, when tears fall without warning and our hearts feel unbearably heavy, taehyun's warm voice finds us. it holds us. the song doesn’t try to fix the pain, but it stays with us in it, like a quiet friend who simply sits beside you and says, i see you. i'm here. there's something so achingly beautiful about how 'bird of night' touches the most rawest parts of us. it doesn’t shy away from the darkness, instead it walks into it with us, hand in hand, and lights a little candle of hope. and sometimes, that little light is all we need to make it through. it heals from the inside out with tenderness. like a soft breeze after a storm, reminding us that we’ve survived this far, and we’re not alone in our fight to keep going. taehyun gave us this song not just as an artist, but as a human being who understands the quiet battles we fight. and in doing so, he gave us more than music. he gave us a piece of his heart, and a reason to hold on and keep going every single day.

Twenty-four years ago, my father stood on a piece of land he had bought with the sweat of his brow — a modest plot, but to us, it held a big dream. We planted fig trees, grapes, peaches, olives, and even corn. It wasn’t just land... it was a piece of our heart.** We would eagerly wait for Fridays. We’d pack our things, fill the teapot, and head to the land. There, beneath the shade of the olive tree, we would laugh, eat, and dream. But in 2008, the Israeli bulldozers came. They tore down the fence, leveled the two rooms, and uprooted the trees we had grown up with. Despite the pain, we returned and rebuilt — a full floor took the place of what had been destroyed. Then came 2012, and once again, our home was damaged. We repaired it and moved back in. But safety didn’t last. In 2014, it was bombed again. We repaired it once more — as if we were trying to plant a rose in the middle of rubble. By 2019, we had built three floors with five apartments, divided among my siblings and me. But our joy was short-lived. The warplanes came and destroyed everything. We returned, rebuilt, and lived — as only those with no other choice do. In early 2024, my grandfather’s old house was hit. We said, “Thank God, we still have my father’s house to live in.” Then my own apartment was bombed. I said, “Thank God, I can still stay in a part of my father’s home.” And today... we returned to find our house — the one that had sheltered us time and again — reduced to rubble. The Israeli soldier wasn’t content with destroying it. He wrote his name on the walls and took pride in what he did. I don’t know him. I don’t know why he did it, or who told him to. But I know one thing: my father is now searching through the ruins, wondering how to pitch a tent — just a tent — so we can have somewhere to live. A tent, so we can stay here, rebuild it, and live in it once again — until we die
