When the school called to say Piper had collapsed and was being rushed to the ER, I felt my world tilt under my feet. The drive to the hospital was a blur of red lights and trembling hands, my mind racing with every terrible possibility. The moment I burst through the emergency room doors, a…
For generations, people have spoken about a mysterious “sixth sense”—that quiet tug in the chest, that sudden chill, that instinctive awareness that something is terribly wrong. Science usually dismisses those whispers, yet sometimes it catches up and reveals that our ancient intuition was right all along. Recent research shows that when death draws close, the…
For years, I believed the small transfer I sent my parents each month was the greatest act of love I could offer.
