LOGINGrand aunty Ummul passed away a year ago, and we still miss her, especially Emma and Chloe. We had learned sign language because of her. We did not mourn too much because we knew she had gone to rest. Luke was glad we could care for her a little longer before she died. Aunty Amira was married with c
"You missed breakfast," Luke said, and she looked away. I noticed a hickey on her neck. She saw that I noticed and tried to cover it. "Come on, Luke, Aunty Amirah can come for breakfast whenever," I told him, and she smiled at me. Not wanting him to say anything else, I urged him to move on. "I ho

Tia. Kimberly and I spent a while eating our fill on the table. Stacy was surprised at our behaviour, but I did not care; I was hungry and needed to eat. "Don't you have any sympathy," Stacy asked me, drying her tears, and I looked at her with my fork in my mouth. The bacon was delicious. I looked
Luke We waited in the hallway, and Monica wept. My father's eyes were red, and he was afraid. He did not expect her to do this. "Does anyone have her phone?" He asked us, and none of us was smart enough to grab it. I called Norman to bring her phone to the hospital while we waited. "Do you know h
