The boundless love a parent has for their child is matched only by their capacity to embarrass them.
My Story . AI-Generated.
I was born in Haiti, a place full of beauty and struggle, carrying a dream that many children take for granted—to have both of my parents by my side. For most of my life, that dream was only a longing. Though both of my parents were alive, I grew up without them. They left me in Haiti when I was just one year old, and from that moment on, I learned what it meant to live without a mother’s embrace or a father’s guidance.

Morning at the Campsite
Journal Entry – August 30, 2025 Journal Entry – August 30, 2025 I’m sitting at the picnic table outside the trailer, coffee in hand, trying to capture the morning in words. Dad is behind me, tinkering with the trailer steps. I can hear the soft clink of his tools, the occasional sigh when something refuses to line up right, and the quiet hum of his focus. He’s always been slow and steady like that, methodical, never rushing, even when it’s obvious he’s tired. The air is cool, just the right kind of cool that makes me glad I brought a sweatshirt. My breath fogs a little in front of me, and I watch it drift away, disappearing in the morning light.

Blame Is Lighter When Shared
The Bible says, ‘teach the child the way he should go and when he is old he will not depart from it.’ Steven Orr stared at his mother, reading her expression after the verdict was read. Her facial expression showed nothing, no regret, no sorrow, no love, no remorse, no shock. Her emotions were empty, devoid of sympathy. Staring deeper into her eyes, he saw an empty soul. A soul without understanding, curiosity, nothing that showed she was sorry for the death sentence handed down by a jury of twelve to her only son.
