The sisters gather to remember their late father, but the jesa is intended to honor both parents, creating a complex emotional landscape. Grace's home is immaculate, yet the sisters' grief disrupts the intended smoothness of the ritual.

Kudrow kept her look polished but relaxed, wearing a structured blazer over a flowing polka-dot dress. Standing beside her, Julian leaned into a classic navy suit with a slightly relaxed fit, paired with a simple button-down shirt worn open at the collar.

One of my kids, who is dyslexic and he lets me talk about it, went up there and talked about a moment that was extremely important to him and I had no idea what he was going to say. He was in the 4th grade and not writing well and he wrote this sentence that says, 'I can do this.' And it was his first sentence. And that's really late to be writing your first sentence as any parent with a kid with dyslexia knows.

I make sure that people are aware of what ALS is and what it's about, and more importantly, what we can do to combat it and improve the landscape, because it's so rocky and littered with hurdles and bureaucracy and all this other nonsense that we're trying to sift through so we can get to a place where we go, start working on solution," he said.

I recently went home for two weeks and I did not really tell anyone. I just went to see my family. I wanted to see how hard it would be for me to get in and out of the country. I wanted to feel what it felt like.I wanted to hold my children again. And I hadn't been home in over a year.

For my husband's 69th birthday, I asked his older sister to drive me to the neighborhoods where they grew up. I photographed the grocery store, his schools, the churches he attended, the vacant lot where his childhood home once stood. I printed the photos and placed them in an album. My husband, a verbose storyteller, especially about his life growing up as one of nine siblings, was very surprised. Nola Nolen 74, Harmony, Pa.

Don't let them push you around, my youngest son said halfway through the Camino de Santiago. You don't have to get up early if you don't want to. I didn't know that was an option, replied his brother from his bunk. This subversive banter is what our family sounds like now. The old hierarchy has loosened. We are four adults negotiating the day.

To my four beautiful daughters, who I am lucky enough to be sharing the stage with, I am so happy to teach the blessings and the lessons of this game to you guys, through you guys. I am so happy to have you at the games on the sideline with me, and I can't wait for you to cheer me on next year when we're kicking a--.

I grew up skiing. As in, we lived in the mountains and skied every weekend of winter, kind of thing. At one point, early in our relationship, my husband looked at me, semi-astonished: "I think you're better on skis than feet." So it was reaaaally important to me that, first, my then fiancé (now husband) and I could share this amazing sport together,

It's not that I don't have a maternal instinct. I do, I just don't want children,

I realize now that my family needs me. Going back into a rehearsal process, an intense tech process, and an intense preview time is just not possible for me and my young kids right now,

Stephanie, a fourth-grade teacher, and Jason, an electrical contractor, first turned to adoption in 2017, after struggling with infertility and enduring multiple unsuccessful attempts to get pregnant. That year, they were matched with their son, AJ, just one week old at the time, and now 8. Stephanie described AJ as "the answer to our prayers." "I knew he was created for us," she told Jenna.

Our baby girl Mikey Moon Trainor has finally made it to the world thanks to our incredible, superwoman surrogate,

I was five years old when I had my first encounter with a black bear. In the spring of 1990, my father, a wildlife biologist, brought home an orphaned three-month-old cub in a cardboard box. The cub's mother, having burrowed beneath the roots of an old tree, had been killed in the den by a logging excavator, but the cub, weighing barely more than a bag of apples, survived. Forestry workers caught the young bear and dropped it off at the Fish and Wildlife office in Peace River, Alberta, where my dad worked, and he called my mom with the news.

BARQUISIMETO, Venezuela - Melania Perozo, a rosary around her neck, a portrait of her son, Dario Pastor Estrada, in her hands, walked through the crowd to the statueof the Virgin of La Divina Pastora - Mary, the Divine Shepherdess.

The exhibit, which runs Jan.15-March 14 at the De Anza College museum, is presented in conjunction with Silicon Valley Reads and its 2026 theme, "Bridges to Belonging." Self, family and neighborhood portraits reflect South Bay Area faces and stories. Marie Cameron's "People in My Neighborhood" series grew from her desire to meet and celebrate essential workers and creatives in her hometown of Los Gatos. The portraits include her neighbor's caregiver, grocery store and café workers, an artist, an author and a small business owner.
