...room on her phone. She was home alone because her mom had to work late and wouldn’t be home until 1:00. Britney would hear one cracking noise and she would hide under her blankets and her heart would start pumping faster. She looked at her phone hoping it was almost 1:00 o'clock, but it was only 12:20. She sat there for about 10 minutes and then someone pulled in the drive way. They sat there for a couple minutes then turned there lights off and got out of their car. Britney texted her mom and said " Mom why are you just sitting outside." Her mom texted back instantly and said " Britney I'm still at work." Britney got really nervous and her heart started beating really fast and she started to panic. Her mom texted her again. "Stop joking with me. Lol." Britney texted her and said" Mom I'm being serious what do I do." After that text she sent a picture. Her mom texted back " Stay in your room and don’t leave I am on my way." Britney was worried because she didn’t know what was going on and her mom's work was about 30 minutes away. Britney didn’t hear anything for a while so she decided to head downstairs to look out the windows. All the doors and windows were locked so she...

...relieve me from the heat of the summer. It was also a little annoying as it makes a whirring noise, but despite the sounds it was still very calm and relaxing. My mom was in our computer room playing on the computer just as usual. My dad was asleep in his bed at an early time as he usual. My brother was downstairs in his room and everything seemed just fine. However, there was something in the back of my mind that I was thinking about that kept me from being completely relaxed. Something that I just couldn’t help but think about that made me a little less than relaxed. My grandma was having a double bypass heart surgery and I was a little worried about her. My mom and dad had both assured me that everything was going to be fine, but I couldn’t help but worry a little bit. She was my grandma after all and I loved her and she loved me and I didn’t want anything to happen to her. All of a sudden I heard “ring, ring, ring” it was the phone. I didn’t think anything of it at first, but then I thought to myself how it was kind of an odd time for a phone call because it was a little late. Luckily my room is right next to our computer room, which is where my mom was. Also fortunate for me, the walls aren’t very thick and my mom has a loud voice so I could hear everything that she was saying. However, I didn’t know who she was talking to. So I turned down the volume on my TV and ,despite the sounds of my fan whirring and my dad snoring, I listened in on the phone call between my mom and whoever...

...167). Perfusion is comprised of the heart, blood vessels, and the blood itself. Perfusion requires the heart to be healthy and working properly to have adequate perfusion. The blood vessels also have to be functioning properly without any narrowing or any dysfunction. Additionally, the components within blood must be functioning properly in order to have adequate perfusion.

The scope of perfusion ranges anywhere from adequate perfusion to absolutely...

...devoted Heartie like I am, you will probably remember season three of When Calls the Heart when the character Hattie made her inaugural appearance, and you might even remember your initial reactions to both the character and the actress who portrayed her.

In anticipation of the When Calls the Heart Christmas special that arrives on December 25, I was able to chat for awhile with Imogen (and her fantastic, supportive mother) about how Imogen got started in acting, what her journey has been within the acting...

She walks towards the car but I stay exactly where I am. She turns around shooting me an angry glare. Suddenly, a light bulb goes off inside my head. “I-I can't leave I'm stuck! I can't move, it must be glue or something!” I shout but my mom doesn't buy it. She grabs me and pulls me over to the car. “I am not going to be late to this Elizabeth!” I walk to the car, slam the door loudly and plunge into my seat. I set my tired feet up.

...Country People.” The name Joy means happiness, bliss or delight but these are not words Joy Hopewell use to describe how she feels about herself.

The name Hulga represents her incomplete self because she wears a wooden leg and she has a heart problem. Joy does not see anything joyful in her life, so she changes her name to Hulga. Because she feels it is an ugly name fit for an unattractive woman....

...Vivid Memory of My Mother A vivid memory that I have regarding my mother was of her heath concerns. When I was seven years old my mom, brother, sister, and I lived in a small town of Cranston, in the state of Rhode Island, in a three bedroom one bathroom apartment. My mom had long, brown, and wavy hair with light green, but tired eyes. She was a very quiet, soft-spoken, and hardworking woman. When she would smile, I felt that I could do no wrong. One evening after dinner my mom stood on one of the wooden dining room chairs to get something down from one of the shelves in the living room. Before you could blink twice, I heard this loud horrific crashing sound. It sounded as though lightning had struck the ground and carried the vibrations from the floor of the apartment to the bottom of my feet. With wide eyes, I ran to the living room not knowing that the terrifying thundering was the sound of my mom falling hard to the floor. The next thing I knew my mom was shaking vigorously. Frightened, I ran to my bedroom to hide under my bed, crying, and curling into a ball as though that ball-like shape would protect me. My heart was beating like a thousand drums pounding in unison. Next, I remember hearing the faint sound of sirens. As they got closer, the sound screamed through the thin walls of the bedroom. I could hear the brakes squeaking as it came to a stop, doors opening and closing, and feet quickly racing on the thin paper floor...

...“Do we have to go to swimming class today?” I question as my mom hurries to help me get ready since we’re already late because of my early morning tantrum. “We already know I don’t wanna go. Why would you make me do something I don’t like?” I pout with my eyebrows quivering, the telltale sign that I’m about to cry. “No. Katrina, your face is still red from crying! You don’t want your eyes to get all puffy again!” my mom exclaims. “But I don’t want to go!” I refute. “What’s it going to take to get you to go to class” my mother groans. “Can I bring my new nail polish--the present I got from Camille's birthday party yesterday? The purple sparkly nail polish. The one that I love,” my eyes light up at the prospect of bringing my prized possession. I love that thing. My heart had been immediately enthralled by the nail polish and never had I cherished anything more. Purple AND sparkly? What more could a girl ask for? It was love at first sight. My whole life was...

...my bed. “Your father had a heart attack, he didn’t make it,” she said. My father was 47 years old and I was only twelve. My father and I were inseparable. He took me to school in the morning, picked me up, took me to work with him, and was the head coach of my baseball team. On that gloomy morning, I knew my life was going to change forever. Since that day I have went through so much hardship and made decisions that define who I am today. The night before, I had been pestering my dad to play Sonic Pinball with me. We were both very competitive and loved playing that video game. I was annoyed because my Dad didn’t want to play that night. Looking back, I could imagine that my father wasn’t feeling well. A week earlier, he had a heart attack and stayed overnight in the hospital. My father often fell asleep on the couch, would wake up in the middle of the night, and then come into the bedroom to go back to sleep. That night, I had fallen asleep in my mother’s bed. My dad woke me up and sent me to sleep in my room. It was the last time I would see him alive. After being told the most shocking news of my life, I didn’t know how to react. I was only twelve years old and had never experienced such a loss. My mother waited for me to say something. “Who’s downstairs?” I asked, in a nonchalant tone. My Uncle Mike was downstairs. I peeked out the window and saw fire trucks, police cars, and all of my neighbors on the street, looking concerned. My mom said she had woken up to my...

...my senior year of high school,” my mom said, as she began retelling the epiphanic moment of 1989, “Every day, I walked the same route to and from school. My only concerns revolved around studying and preparing for our college entrance exam.” Hair pulled up in a high ponytail as always, backpack slung over her shoulders, a young student walked to school, breathing in the humid Shanghai morning air that greeted her every morning. I pictured my mom as this young high school student, always having her steady rhythm in life that was never disturbed. She passed the coffee shop around the corner as she did every day, watched college students scramble to class on their bikes knowing it would be her future as always, greeted her...

..."The day my heart, life and soul went from complete happiness to crumbled pieces" I was just a young, little girl. I was completely devoted to soccer, cheer leading as well as my grades in school. My family meant the world to me. I often say I had a "fairy tale" childhood with everything a child could ever dream of or wish for. I had a horse named Nutmeg, which together, she and I won many blue ribbons. I had a nice car when I got my license. We were members of the New Bern Golf & Country Club. Anything I wanted, I pretty much, always received. My family attended church together every Sunday. My siblings and I sang in the Children's Choir. My mom always had my two sisters and I dressed to a T, with ruffle socks or pantyhose. Our little brother always had an outfit on to match the three of us girls. We played T-Ball for our church. We participated in the Crop Walk every year. Mom always had her little angels in sponge curl rollers after dinner, prayers, book time and bath every Saturday night. We woke up on Sunday morning and had beautiful bouncy curls. Every Sunday morning, my whole family normally ate breakfast at Bojangles. We were the "precious little Outlaw's". We knew no harm, no violence, no profanity, and no exposure to alcohol, drugs or parents arguing. We were just simply four happy children with the best life a child thought they could or would ever have or ask for. After school one day, mom picked us up from school, took us to get a snack, as we did daily...
