My husband was “too busy” to fix our sink. But when our young, pretty neighbor needed help with fixing hers, he was Mr. Fix-It with a wrench in hand, muscles flexing, and water glistening on his skin. I didn’t scream or fight when I caught him. But I did plot a lesson that was worth…
It started as an ordinary morning—a quiet goodbye to my father at the cemetery. But by the next day, I found myself sitting in a police station, accused of a crime I didn’t commit. All because of my kind gesture toward an elderly blind woman. Grief has a peculiar way of dulling time. Days stretch…
