Get Up
“Get Up.” I don’t remember hitting the floor. Just the sharp cut between feeling dizzy and suddenly being on the ground. My body felt far away, like I was watching myself from outside my own skin. My head was buzzing, my vision blurred at the edges. The first thing I heard wasn’t concern. It was my mother’s...

Crumble
You always said you knew me so well; better than I knew myself. You'd tell me all about me: what I wanted, how I felt. I'd do just what you told me. You'd say I sinned, so I confessed. Because of course it's true— it came from you, and you always know best. You always said you were protecting me, sheltering me, keeping me safe. And I...

Quiet Grief
Mother’s Day feels like a joke with no punchline, like the kind of card you don’t buy because you’d have to lie in cursive. I stare at the shelves lined with pastel lies, the soft-scripted thank yous, and the you’ve always been there's. I want to scream at the cardboard. Always been there? Where? In...

Rats and Roses
I don’t have my learners permit. I have had to be the adult my whole life. I have had to tend to their outbursts and tantrums. I have survived all their rat runs I’ve always told myself it’s an assessment A test of my determination I will soon regain my adolescence They’re just giving me a foundation, I have had to deal with...

I cannot imagine future living without eyes tearing while screams chest develop - no acceptance views sooth me - wanting release for inner peace seems a futile painful endeavor I hear heaven's precious angels crying - relationships worship purpose tainted truth will be lost as dysfunctions grow - artificial intelligence violates all hearts minds souls - it is not progressive but sick...

Premium Member When Wishes Come True
A Mom and Dad who'd drifted far apart walked by their little daughter's room one night and heard, "I'm hurting right here in my heart! I wish," she told her dolls, "they wouldn't fight and be mean to each other. It's not right!" Before too long those parents, who had prayed, stood holding hands outside...

My father is no conversationalist. For all practical purposes he lives in the garage where he tinkers with nuts and bolts, the lawnmower and the car. My mother talks a lot. She lives on the telephone, and, when not at her housework, buries her nose in travel magazines that tout places exotic and far. It’s crossed my mind many...

Some parents need to read Revelation Twenty twelve
To all you parents out there who doesn't have a clue. God is always watching and sees all that we do. We will give account to him for how we raise our kids. Stop blaming everyone else for the things you did. You blame the teacher, police and others for the things they do. When most behavior that they have,...

Premium Member HER PARENTS KNEW EXACTLY WHAT TO SAY
When their daughter’s dream was shattered…when she thought her life was through… she ran to her parents…crying…saying she didn’t know what to do. They embraced her and immediately knew exactly what to say… They will tell her just because one dream has broken not to throw her other dreams away. They will tell her sometimes hearts get broken…they’re not made...
