Family unites us; but it's also a challenge. All about fighting to stay together, and loving every moment of it.
Memory of Limerence
I used to think memory was a kind of proof, something solid enough to hold up like a photograph and say, This is what happened. But memory is less like a photograph and more like a rumor you tell yourself until you believe it. Nothing taught me that faster than the night he and I both swear we remember, even though our versions don’t overlap in any meaningful way.

Who?. Top Story - October 2026.
Content note: this story deals with domestic abuse and thoughts of suicide. …Sobbing. "Mother, please help me!" A loud, drunken voice yelled, "She is not going to help you; she knows better!" The young man looked at his mother with desperate tears in his eyes, wanting her protection. She stood by the sink, tugging her sleeve down over the purple bruise on her wrist, the way she always did. They shared a moment's stare, looking directly into each other's eyes, into each other's souls. Her lip trembled. For a second, he thought she would speak. The mother broke into tears and hung her head. Then the back of his stepfather's hand caught him across the jaw. A chair crashed to the floor beside him, and the kitchen spun as the young man's vision went blurry. He tasted blood. His stepfather was looking down on him, laughing, and said, "You are as worthless as she is; why don't you do us all a favor and end it."

A Fall with a Canoe Happened Twice
No One Remembers It That Way challenge - The Prompt: Write about a memory that you and someone else remember completely differently. You remember exactly what happened. Unfortunately, so does someone else, and their version is nothing like yours. For this challenge, revisit a memory you share with another person and explore the places where your stories don't match. Maybe you disagree about who said what, how something started, whether it was hilarious or humiliating, or even whether it happened the way you remember at all. The differences can be tiny, or they can change the entire story. Dig into both versions and what might be hiding in the space between them. Memory is a funny thing, and sometimes the disagreement tells you more than getting the facts straight ever could.

Thoughts on the Act of Dying
I am the youngest sibling of four. My nearest brother was eight years older than myself. I was an "oops" baby. I was equal parts toy, gullible believer in magic tricks, and cheap entertainment for my brothers. My sister was ten years my senior. She was tall and lean and graceful, and didn't have much time to mess with me. She was busy with school, sports, horses, cowboys and watching rodeos.
