As she wept for days, feeling as if the world had come to its end, greater things were at work.

We hadn’t seen them in a couple years and it was time to spend quality time with them because time goes quickly, and you never know what could happen.

Ever since the day I was born I have always experienced a blurred line between life and death. Whether it was the date of my birth where I barely managed to overcome the severe complications I had, or whether it pertains to the many relatives I have lost over my short adolescence, this distortion has shown me that the line between life and death is very narrow. I have truly come to understand what it means to “be here one moment, and gone the next.” For this reason I have always had an admiration and appreciation of the people who dedicate their lives to shielding death from others, and holding that line off just a tiny bit longer.…

It was a crisp, clear, and unusually warm winter day when I had to shadow my mom in the ER.…

“What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger” is a commonly used quote. I can honestly say I didn’t hear it from an upbeat pop song at first. But from someone more important in life, my father. When I was younger I thought the tiny scars and disgusting bruises was something hard to overcome. What I “overcame” was nothing compared to what would happen in January of 2008.…
