You meet online. You have the same favorite book and it’s not The Fountainhead. You exchange emails multiple times a day and bond over your mutual love of cats, Frasier, and pretending you like to spend Sunday in bed with the New York Times crossword puzzle. It’s meant to be! The first date is around the corner. You’re bringing […]
For most of the people, there are two things that they love resembling the most – the day of their wedding and the day when they became parents. And indeed these two events are something that words can’t describe and guess what – both represent the result of love between the two. Now, the wedding […]
About a year ago, I was sitting at my desk at The Frisky when an email from my mother popped up. She was writing to tell me that my brother had checked himself into a rehab facility because he had started using drugs again. He had strained his back at his job, but didn’t tell […]
