Jordan Brann, who went to Pine View High School in St. George, Utah, posted a TikTok that has since been deleted in which he said he knew the suspect, Tyler Robinson, from school. Brann said, “Tyler Robinson and I went to school together.” “I can best describe him as a kid who uses Reddit. You know those kinds of kids from high school? That’s exactly what he was. Brann made it clear in a second video that he wasn’t friends with Robinson, but he did see him a lot over the course of three years. It looked like he was…

With silent determination, Frank Delaney rose before dawn, his body stiff but his mind steady. At seventy-eight, mornings were not gentle anymore—every joint had to be coaxed awake, every step negotiated with age. Yet discipline, carved into him during his years in the Marine Corps, pulled him forward. He had a flight to catch. The Denver airport buzzed like a hive already in motion. Business travelers hurried with rolling bags, earbuds sealing them into private worlds. Families corralled children, promising snacks and cartoons once aboard. Frank, in his weathered jacket with a Marine Corps patch still stitched to the sleeve,…
Golden light filtered through gauzy curtains, catching dust motes that spun lazily in the warm air. I stared at the photo on the wall—Flynn and me on our wedding day. His arm wrapped securely around my waist, his smile so genuine it seemed impossible to imagine a time when that warmth could fade. We had been partners for almost five years, a team that had built routines, inside jokes, and a life I thought would stretch endlessly forward. Flynn had been my anchor: late-night laughter in our tiny apartment, whispered plans in the dark, long Sunday walks where he’d steal…
I didn’t dress for a war that day. I dressed for a birthday—black slacks, Luca’s soft blue cardigan that still held his cologne, a lemon cake from the bakery he loved. Noreen had texted me the invite herself, with a heart and a “wouldn’t be the same without you.” Ever since Luca died two years ago, I’ve shown up for his family’s holidays, hospital runs, minor emergencies—because grief doesn’t unmake a family, it just rearranges the chairs. Or so I thought. The moment I stepped into Noreen’s living room, the temperature dropped. Conversation hiccuped. Kara’s smile stalled half an inch…
Why You Keep Waking at 3 A.M.—And What It Could Mean If you’ve ever found yourself wide awake at 3 a.m., staring at the ceiling and wondering why your sleep suddenly vanished, you’re not alone. A stray awakening now and then is normal, but repeatedly snapping awake at this specific hour—often with a restless mind—can be more telling than it seems. Biology has plenty of answers. But sometimes the middle-of-the-night wakeup call isn’t only physiological. It can feel like something deeper—a quiet nudge from life, or even from God. The Physical, the Emotional, and the “Something More” Each night we…
I don’t fly much anymore. At eighty-eight, the simple act of getting from my porch to the curb can feel like a small expedition—keys, glasses, wallet, cane, the familiar pat-down that reassures me I haven’t left my life on the kitchen counter. Airports magnify everything: the echoes, the hurry, the impatience of younger legs. If I had my way, I’d stay home with a book and the crickets. But a man keeps his word to the very end, and my word to Edward went back nearly eight decades. We were boys together—barefoot summers, creek water up to our knees, the…
In the beginning, it felt like a dream we’d written together. Mark and I weren’t just husband and wife; we were partners, bound by years of building our little business, bound by nights of laughter over cartons of Chinese food, bound by whispered hopes about children who would one day fill our home. He used to talk about it constantly—our future kids, the games he’d teach them, the way they’d carry on what we’d created. And when I finally got pregnant, when the doctor smiled and said, “There are two heartbeats,” it was as though the universe had handed us…
