Power Games in Personal Relationships
Recently I've been feeling like the world is a game of power. Not only in politics between the rich and the mighty, not only in traditional verticals at work, but also with our nearest and dearest – our romantic partners, friends and family members.

HOW IS AN NGO DEFINED AND HOW DOES IT WORK? A non-governmental organization (NGO) is a legally formed organization formed by natural or legal persons that operate independently of any government, and it is a term commonly used by governments to refer to entities that do not have government status. In cases where NGOs are funded entirely or partially by governments, the NGO maintains its non-governmental status by barring government representatives from the membership.

First of all, I don't judge a parent for sharing pictures of their kids on social media. It's a personal choice and ultimately, it's what works for their family.

Today I’m heading to Nan’s place, my Nan of 94. That’s 94 years we’re talking, which is no small feat. Since Gramps’s passing last week, she is officially the oldest person I know.
Ashes in the Snow
We drove up the snowy, winding road towards the cozy A-frame cabin. The snow was just beginning to fall again, swirling around my rented Honda, building on the windshield before getting swiped away. I looked over at dad, well, his urn, buckled almost humorously into the passenger's seat. Leaving him in the trunk or even the back seat seemed disrespectful. Dad always had to ride up front, directing whoever was driving, and making suggestions despite what the GPS said.

Since moving to North America from the UK 11 years ago, I have had to learn to grow accustomed to the subtle little differences compared to life back home. I wouldn't say that I have ever had culture shock, but there are certain things that are different for example, fires on the beach to cook s’mores in the summer (illegal in UK (fires, not s’mores I mean)), S’mores, driving on the right side of the road and going around roundabouts backwards, paying to have a bank account, not having to pay to have a TV, etc etc

Chapter 1 I wake up to a notification on my I-Phone 20. I’m still holding on to the invitation to my 75th birthday, I must have drifted off to sleep while reading it. I do that a lot nowadays, can’t seem to stay up for more than just a few hours. There are days that I feel trapped in this old body and the young me is screaming to get out. Maybe take the wife to a movie or just a nice walk at the park. Given the chance, I’d take them on a nice vacation and show them all a good time. Nope, this is me now, have to wait for someone else to decide my day. Could be worse I guess, I spent all last week in a hospital bed. My arm is still bruised from all that poking they did.
So, you’re about to be a Dad™… Part II
INTRO; Alright, so we’ve already been over the fun stuff (if you haven’t read part I, you can find it here); now it’s time to get into the nitty-gritty; in other words, the bloody, butthole-tearing entrance your little milk goblin is about to make into our Earthly plane. How exciting for you! To be more exact, we will be going over a handful of subjects; these include how to prepare for and what to expect in the delivery room, things you need to do once the dust has settled as soon as possible, general infant care, what you should actually be concerned about, and general milestones.

When I grew up, we attended huge family gatherings for Thanksgiving. Most were direct family, which was quite large as it was, but often included many shirt-tail relatives and friends. It was fun. Growing up in the Midwest, the fare included a lot of creamy, sugary, butter-laden dishes. And one Aunt always brought the candied yams - Yuck! But a lot of people like them. We always had apple/banana salad in honor of my Grandmother who had passed. It was gross, and I wasn’t alone in my distaste of it, made with apples, bananas, lettuce, gluttonous amounts of sugar mixed with mayo or Miracle Whip. When I got old enough to voice an opinion, I refused to eat it anymore, inspite of the vocalizations of my Aunts telling me I must eat it and like it unless I really didn’t love my grandma. I loved my Grandma very much and she wouldn’t make me eat that crap!

There was poop and pee everywhere. On the floor, on the couch. Even a day later, and after a good cleanup, I was still finding poop in nooks and crannies. It even haunted me in my dreams. This is not a good way to start a story, I know, but given the theme of this writing challenge, I thought it best to give a preview where this is going. The events of this disastrous holiday gathering began so innocently, and as a result, I never could have foreseen such a revolting aftermath.
