answers the phone. I wonder who called. I need to find out. I hesitantly go up the creaking staircase trying to reassure myself that my worst nightmare is not coming true. I must be overreacting. Obviously everyone is fine. There is nothing to worry about. As I reach the top of the steps‚ I take a deep breath and hope for the best. I go through the door. My eyes are frantically searching for my dad. I find him in his room. I ask him‚ “What happened? Who called?” A tear is streaming down his face

kitchen to eat my breakfast‚ my mom‚ my sister‚ and my uncle gave me a weird gaze as they saw me smiling for no reason. “Why are you so happy?” my Mom asked. “If you really care about me then you should know.” That was my short reply as I continued smiling and she continued eating. She had always been like that‚ never cared about me‚ never treats me as her daughter‚ I was never loved by my Mother. She even said in one of our arguments that I was nothing but a mistake. Since I was born‚ she never once

she said later on or didn’t mean it‚ but I could not forget what was said. Once something has been said it’s hard to forget especially the barbarous words. Well the point is‚ a friend is someone who gives us the freedom to ourselves. One question about Sally and I is why couldn’t things be resolved? There was no solution. This could not be fixed because we couldn’t forgive and forget. I for one could never forget the barbaric things she said nor how easy it was for her to be so judgmental and crude

Stuffed Crab My stuffed crab was once fluffy and bright red. It’s now flattened and faded – something that 10+ years of being wedged between the dashboard and windshield of a car will do. It travels with me wherever my car goes and reminds me of one of the first walks on the beach I took with my husband 15 or so years ago when we were first dating. The crab itself isn’t anything spectacular as stuffed animals go‚ but the story behind him is a pretty good one. The tide was going out at the bay and

Tom’s Lament. Old Tom limped down the street in the warm rain. He was heading for the bar on the corner of Henderson Boulevard where he regularly went for an ice cold brew on hot summer afternoons. Come to think of it‚ he didn’t so much drink his beer‚ as sit in the corner nursing the same glass for hours at a time watching those perfectly round chilled droplets hit the mahogany countertop. A young sporting type‚ who looked remarkably similar to his youngest boy‚ approached him and offered him

The Most Significant Experience which Made Me Who I am today. Life is an opportunity. It is a cycle of most valuable and treasured memories that even a ninety year old and a crippled person will not be able to erase and forget. It is an endless road that is full of laughter‚ sweat‚ tearful and most of all loneliness. The land was extremely barren for my eyes. The blue angry waves of the sea made me feel so anxious to paddle my daddy’s canoe to collect sea urchins and sea cucumbers‚ that I

Tracy’s good friend. Every Thursday‚ from that first day back in April‚ when Aingeal and I were first introduced‚ till the end of the year‚ the four of us (Jen‚ Tracy‚ Aingeal‚ and I) would meet at Old Country Buffet after classes to sit and talk about all aspects of our lives.

Not to long ago I wasn’t cheerful around my friends. I was just having a bad day. Neither was my friend Mark. We both were on the same team for badminton in gym. Our other good friend Wade was cheating on us. So that was making Mark mad. I had to cheer Mark up to cheer myself up. Mark was mad as a bee gets when humans
