What does the term ‘family’ mean to you? Is a family a collection of individuals related to one another by blood? Are members of a family an integrated group that shares unwavering love for one another? The following story is about a betrayed fiancé. OP plans to get married to the man of her dreams in the upcoming months. Tragically, though, OP's best friend passed suddenly, leaving her to care for her five-year-old daughter Ellie. Without hesitation, OP assumed the position of Ellie's mother a…

Nice try.

The one thing in life you cannot control is the family you are born into. It's like playing Russian roulette; there's no guarantee that the grownups in your life are capable of raising you. The optimist in me wants to believe that no matter what obstacles parents face in life, they will always strive to give their children the best opportunities.

It would be a stretch to call Tony an anti-hero. He's not a hero, he's a downright sociopath. But the way in which his character is presented is so painfully human that it's hard not to resist becoming enthralled by him.

Family secrets can range from being horribly painful to being the juiciest gossip ever concocted . I definitely don't want anyone to have to deal with the trauma of finding out their father has a secret family or their aunt committed vehicular manslaughter in 1992. However, these stories are interesting for a reason. We don't tend to advertise our family's most heinous classified deeds. There's a sense of relief when you learn the family secrets because it can explain many things that were prev…

The little things are what make a tough workplace at least somewhat bearable. Whether that's talking to your coworkers, getting a nice lunch, or maybe just having a short break every one-in-awhile, the little things most certainly count. At this construction company, it was the communal speaker. According to the employee, who works in a computer position in the company, the construction firm employs a lot of Latino men for much of the physical portions of projects. While the work is difficult,…
