My older brother was recently diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes and decided to share his news with our family over the holidays. The parents didn’t take it too well, especially our mom.

I’ve worn glasses all of my life, and I’ve never felt great about it. I’m used to them, sure, but I hate the way they make my face look. Other people look great in glasses, which I get, but the sad truth is that people like me–who really need glasses–never look as good, because the … Read more

Our family dog, Baxter, passed away a week ago at the age of twelve. He was the best dog ever. My childhood wouldn’t have been the same without his constant energy and lovable character.
