Recently my family was un-invited on a trip at the last minute. It was not a nice experience to say the least. Feelings of betrayal, rejection, anger, and frustration swirled around and formed a volatile cocktail in my head and heart.

My friend wanted to test out the Tinder app so he created a profile. He was surprised by how many outspoken and entitled people are out there.

I snuck quietly behind Roy so that Joshua would see him first as he walked into the yard of the childcare centre.
At first, he stared, blinked, then as recognition and reality set in he ran to him, crying, “Daddy!” He clung to Roy like a koala for the rest of the day.
