Blood makes you related, loyalty makes you family.

The bench. Content Warning.
The bench The old man sat on the park bench, watching the children play. He smiled as he remembered a time when he was young and carefree, just like them.

Mother, Dear. Runner-Up in The Dragon Beside Me Challenge.
For most of my life, I have made a point not to come close to anything like “hero worship.” This decision started early. In middle school, we were all required to enter an essay contest and write about a person we considered a hero. I wracked my brain for a week or so, thinking hard about who I could write about, knowing full well that most kids would be writing about their parents or some celebrity or athlete they loved. I decided on Cassie Bernall– the seventeen-year-old “who said yes” to believing in God during the Columbine High School massacre. This option checked every box for me and my parents.

A sad woman and her husband
How many times have I told you, my breakfast has to be ready before I get ready. Even after 25 years of marriage, why do I have to tell you the same thing again and again, what about you? You will stay comfortably at home, I have to go to work. It's you who always acts like a fool. If you do this deliberately then remember no one will be worse than me." Even today, David's temper was high. This unnecessary anger of David was not a new thing for Sophia. He lashed out at Sophia like this three to four times a month. Used to study. Earlier, Sophia used to oppose him but when no change was seen in David for many years, Lata changed herself. Now, whatever David said did not make any difference to Sophia. Everything David said She would listen quietly with her head down. If there was any argument, David would directly tell Sophia, "If you don't like me, why don't you go to your parents' home?" Why do you live with me? Despite everything, Sophia lived with David because she was worried about her daughter. And that caste also said that she did not want to trouble her old parents at this age. What will society and people say? He had to see this also. She was not even educated enough to go and do a job on her own and support herself and her daughter. Sophia was no longer worried about herself. All he was worried about was his daughter who was getting married. Sophia did not want her daughter to be disturbed due to the fight between husband and wife.

My Marigold
The way she commands a room has everyone in a ten mile radius enraptured. Her smile is as contagious as a yawn. Her eyes the color of freshly bloomed marigolds. I envy her, her beauty, her intelligence, her wit, she is as perfect as you could ever imagine. Until you look closer.
