Something So Wrong
Red spots. All over her legs. Petechiae . . . internal bleeding . . . leukemia? A clotting disorder? Hemorrhagic dengue? My thoughts raced as I inspected Safi’s legs. My face showed no alarm—a skill I developed as an emergency room nurse. Zara’s reaction, however, was one of a mother,…
The Equal Talent
“Mommy, what is time?” This question from our three-year-old daughter had us scratching our heads. How do we define time without using a circular definition?

Surat Thani: The City of Good People
Good housing options in Surat Thani are hard to find. We have struggled. Good people, on the other hand, are found in abundance. The city of Surat Thani, once called Chaiya City, was officially renamed when Rama VI, the sixth king of the current Chakri Dynasty in Thailand, visited this…
The Power of Love
“No one loves me,” Nat stated matter-of-factly. Nat knows that his mom does not want him, and his grandmother makes him feel like he is a burden to her. So in his heart, he carries the feeling of “Nobody appreciates me. Nat is 10 years old and regularly comes to…
