And, like I’d done too many times before, I told myself not to make things awkward. It was our third date.

I almost threw the receipt away. If I had, I might never have discovered why the woman at the self-checkout kept staring at me. It had been an ordinary evening.

They Kept Turning This Baby Girl Away Because Of Her Diagnosis, Until One Single Dad…
Greg walked into the group home expecting to ask questions. He walked out knowing his life was about to change. He had told himself this visit was informational. Nothing more. He wasn’t going to make an emotional decision. He wasn’t going to see a child and immediately imagine birthdays, Christmas mornings, school pictures, or another little voice calling him Dad.

The Real Purpose of That Part of a Towel
You’ve probably wrapped yourself in a bath towel thousands of times without giving one particular detail a second thought. But look closely. Near each end of many towels is a strange, flat strip with almost none of the soft loops covering the rest of the fabric. It looks decorative.
