I feel the pain..

Since I read MM’s post, I havent been able to get this subject off me mind.I read something similar again here. Plus today I heard of a couple friends of ours who confided in us that they have suffered two miscarriages in the past year. This has put a strain on their marriage as the [...]

Is silence always golden?

I was talking to one of my good friends and she mentioned that she and her husband had a fight a few days back and they weren’t really on talking terms for now. I mean apart from saying mundane things like ” Pass the salt”, or “We’re out of detergent” they don’t speak at all. [...]

The story so far..

Lets just suffice to say, we pulled through despite bomb [...]
