Oh, I dunno:
- trying to get home to see a family member on their deathbed, or witness the birth of a child
- a court date for child custody or some other serious legal issue
- a serious medical condition requiring specialist treatment in another city

What about someone rushing home to see a sick relative? Or a bride/groom going who is getting married the next morning?

I have a theory how this happened, but it has some holes in it.

Tears sprinkled my cheeks as I read the article.

Another life senselessly frittered away.

Life can be cruller.

No, but they can get throat, penile, and anal cancer.

An interesting take I read about this (I think on Jezebel) was that most progressive moms wouldn’t have a problem letting their son dress up as a princess, so it should be the same for daughters.

Because Ivanka has specifically positioned herself as a moderating influence to her father, as the “neutral” advocate for women whose goal is to bring her father around to a “better” position.
