Seven Years of Silence
As a result of getting home from university every day at 5 p.m., staying up late became a habit for me. Usually, around 7 to 8 p.m., I was used to cleaning the kitchen and setting it up for the next morning’s meal. At the same time, I ’was also helping my oldest son with his schoolwork. Therefore, I couldn’t spend quality time with my younger children before they slept.

The Winged Serpent Next to Me: A Tribute to My Grandma's Legacy
Amidst the Hour of the Winged Snake 2024, in the midst of the celebration of Worldwide Women's Day, I'm constrained to recap the story of the person who has been my mainstay of solidarity and wellspring of motivation: my grandmother. A delicate yet tough soul, my grandmother encapsulates the calm determination celebrated by Voices in Minor. All through the excursion of my life, she has remained alongside me, offering faithful help, sustaining care, and significant insight that have formed me into the singular I am today. In the godlike expressions of Maya Angelou, my grandmother has instructed me that it's not the words we utter or the activities we withdraw an enduring impression, yet rather the manner in which we cause others to feel. Her presence transmits warmth, generosity, and sympathy, making a permanent imprint on all lucky enough to know her. Similar as Harriet Tubman, my grandmother puts stock in the force of dreams and the potential inside every one of us to impact positive change on the planet. She imparted in me the conviction that with persistence, constancy, and energy, I can try to accomplish the unimaginable and arrive at my objectives, regardless of the hindrances I might confront. Notwithstanding confronting her own portion of difficulties and misfortunes, my grandmother stays unflinching in her purpose, much the same as the allegorical tea sack expressively communicated by Eleanor Roosevelt. It is notwithstanding affliction that her solidarity really sparkles, uncovering the profundity of her versatility and the size of her boldness. As Virginia Woolf once commented, for the vast majority of history, mysterious was a lady. My grandmother may not be a popular figure or a Nobel Laureate, yet her impact stretches out a long ways past the bounds of our loved ones. She is a reference point of light in a world frequently covered in murkiness, a wellspring of solace in the midst of unrest, and a demonstration of the force of adoration and constancy. In this Season of the Winged Snake, I praise my grandmother - the mythical beast close to me - for her unflinching affection, her unlimited versatility, and her persevering through beauty. She is my directing star, my friend, and my most noteworthy wellspring of motivation. Her heritage will carry on with on in the existences of every one of those she has contacted, and her soul will keep on directing me as I explore the excursion ahead. As I ponder the endless ways my grandmother has motivated me, I'm helped to remember the significant effect that ladies have had on molding our reality. On this Worldwide Women's Day, let us honor the unprecedented ladies in our lives and praise their commitments to making the world a superior spot for a long time into the future.

The Ultimate Betrayal Pt.2
Dust Motes in a Silent Symphony Dust motes danced a jig in the neglected sunlight creeping through Grandma's dusty windows. Silence pressed down heavy, a stark contrast to the woman who once filled this space with booming laughter and the soul-warming scent of her legendary buttermilk biscuits. Grief threatened to drown me, but beneath the sorrow, a spark flickered to life. My firecracker of a grandma, a woman who'd stared down dust storms and Depression-era hardships with a withering look, wouldn't have gone gentle into that good night. Neither would I.

Dear Mother
Dear Mother, In the solemn stillness of my thoughts, I reach out through this letter, a vessel for the words that weigh heavily upon my soul. What can I say, Mother? The words 'I love you' from your lips often come shrouded in the aftermath of scolding, their warmth lost in the chill of discipline.

Praying for Miracles and Saying Goodbye
Twelve hours can change everything. On November 12th, 2019, my mom passed away from complications caused by CLL(Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia). After 22 months with CLL, she had one bad day. One bad day, twelve hours in the hospital, and then she left to meet her heavenly Father and see the face of Jesus. Fourteen days later it still seems so hard to believe that everything changed so fast. How did we get from a diagnosis with a chronic condition to saying good-bye?
