Everybody starts off with a family, at least a parent or two. But not everyone continues to be part of a family. The reasons for this are many. We drove to our hairdresser one morning recently and passed a young man, dirty and shabbily dressed, sitting on the curb. My glance his way captured this […]
One of the most misunderstood emotions is “love”. To use the Hollywood or Hallmark illustrations of people falling into love after a few hours or days leading to marriage is inadequate because we all know what movies are like. On the other hand, some marry because of attraction (beauty, handsome, physical), because of peer or […]
