15 Mother's Day brunch recipes to help curate a menu for mom
One of the many ways my mother expresses her love to others is through food. She continues to bake me a special cake on my birthday, prepares my favorite meals when I visit home and always sends me back with a care package of her frozen homemade minestrone soup, bulk shrink-wrapped Parmigiano-Reggiano and more cans of cannellini beans and other shelf-stable goods than I can carry.

Married Men Who Regret Getting Married Are Revealing The Shocking Reasons Why
We recently asked married men of the BuzzFeed Community who regret getting married to tell us why, and men who are currently or formerly married gave their honest answers, which range from shocking to completely heartbreaking. Here's what they had to say: Note: Some submissions were pulled from this Reddit thread by u/YBFAVBULL. 1."I was from the UK, and she was American. Basically, she was the woman of my dreams; I moved to the USA so we could live together. We married WAY too quickly, but it was easier visa-wise to stay together. The abuse started small, but got more severe over time. Physically, mentally, and emotionally abusive. I think there was some mental illness there, but she never bothered to find out. She finally cheated on me for a few months, and she gaslit me so much and was so cruel that I moved back to the UK and had a mental breakdown." "From that to now, I'm remarried to a wonderful woman, who makes me happy every day." —Anonymous, 44, UK 2."I have been married for over 23 years. We have two grown children together and shared some great times and adventures. Unfortunately, lately she has had zero drive to do anything. She sits in bed anytime she is at home, watching TV and being on her phone on social media. There is no sex. I stay active and healthy playing sports and building projects. My focus is the kids, so I spend my time with them doing activities and listening to what they say and how they are navigating life. The negative comments and constant nagging have left me lonely and emotionally unavailable." "I haven't cheated, but I know there has to be more to life than this. If you are a woman reading this, don't think that because you love your husband, you can just keep dumping on him, and he will accept it. If he stopped arguing, doesn't ask for intimacy, and is generally quiet, he is moving on." —Anonymous, 57, California 3."She used me for citizenship. She continued to steal money from me (our account) while I was working and sent it back to her family. We barely had sex — just enough to have two beautiful daughters. Eventually, she ended up cheating on me and kicking me out of the house (I slept in the garage for a while until I could figure something else out)." "She spoils them (our daughters) even though she makes minimum wage. Now, many years later (after our divorce), she complains that I don't do enough for her (and our daughters, 16 and 21). I can't afford it! It makes me sick to think about"it." —pastelhawk356 4."I was 29. We were barely dating, just casual. She told me she was pregnant and planned on keeping the baby, and to not worry about being involved if I didn't want to. Honestly, we didn't know each other very well. I couldn't stand the thought of having a child and not being there for them. I really fell in love with her. We made it work and had two more beautiful children. Our kids are grown, and she still considers motherhood her top priority." "We are not intimate, and besides our children, we have little in common. I knew the risks I took, hoping to make things work for the sake of the children. I'll always love my wife, but can't help but think that we'd both be happier with different people." —Anonymous, 54, California 5."I regret getting married as a broken teenager to another broken teenager. Life in that long marriage was so hard, and the problems it caused were absolutely devastating and damaging. I can't help but think about how much better life would have been if I had just chosen better. With that being said, I made a decent life for myself despite those problems, so I don't dwell on the regret." —SaintofHellfire 6."I've discovered that I enjoy being single more than being in any of the relationships I've ever been in. I said forget it and settled. Now, I'm trapped in a terribly stressful marriage." —Itsumiamario 7."We're possibly getting a divorce and losing everything we have built in the last 13 years. That being said, I don't regret the marriage — it was a title, a piece of paper, and a piece of jewellery. I just regret investing so much time in something only to lose it." —Competitive_Ad_3743 8."I wish I hadn't married so young and with relatively little relationship experience. I married at 26, and it was only my third relationship (second sexual partner). Admittedly, she was the one keen to get married, and as neither of us wanted children, so it seemed like a good fit at the time as I assumed most women wanted kids, and I wasn't sure how easily I'd find another partner who didn't. We separated after eight years, mostly because we had grown apart and had nothing in common. In hindsight, we could/should have parted ways at least two years before that — I saw the writing on the wall but wasn't sure how to get out. I know some people marry their childhood sweethearts and stay together their entire lives, but people need to realise this is a very, very rare exception." "These days, people have much higher expectations in life and more variety in dating opportunities. If I could advise my younger self, or people in a similar situation, it would be to know what you like, don't like, and what you will or won't tolerate in a partner. The good news is, life is much better now; I did my share of casual dating and am in a much better, stable relationship. No plans to marry again, though — once bitten, twice shy." —willapp 9."Worst choice I ever made. It was due to an ultimatum, and I was being manipulated and coerced. I even knew it at the time, but I was so scared of being alone that I went with it anyway. It ultimately destroyed my life. Turns out, she's an abhorrent human being who seems to exist only to leech off others and destroy everything she touches. And we have a child, so I have the pleasure of watching her destroy yet another life, one day at a time." —blakfeld 10."I often regret it. I felt we had a good sense of connection and understanding when we married. Looking back on it now, I realize much of that was based on misunderstandings and assumptions. We've had some good times, and I care about her, but at this point, marriage has been more stressful and exhausting than anything else." —DogOnABike 11."I regret it. I mean, I found out two months after the wedding that she'd been having an affair since just before the wedding, and I now can't get divorced for a year." —AllVersionsOfReality 12."I'm on the verge of divorce after 22 years of marriage and three kids. She turned to alcohol and is now constantly battling depression and mood swings. I stayed 15 years too long, hoping she would get help, but she just won't do it. Stayed for the kids, but my youngest is in 8th grade now, and I just can't. I will never get married again." —ProfessionEqual5090 13."I wish I had the mindset and smarts at the time to date other people and choose a better match. I married for the wrong reasons and to the wrong person. That said, she brought our children into the world and that is the best thing in my life. While I respect her for that, I definitely have regrets." —Routine_Mine_3019 14."I would say the first marriage wasn't a mistake, and it produced my children, who are fantastic. We just grew to be different people. The second marriage was a mistake. I chose to get married the second time to solve a problem that was never solved. We're currently going through a divorce. I have no intention of getting married again. I don't see the point in marriage because you can just choose to be in a committed relationship." —rxwhippingpost And finally... 15."I regretted my first marriage. I married too young and for the wrong person for the wrong reasons. My first marriage was super destructive. She abused me, took advantage of my good nature, and made my life a living hell. Getting divorced was the best decision I've made in my entire life. It wasn't just about leaving that relationship; it also got me in therapy and working on healthy boundaries. It got me to reevaluate all of the relationships in my life. It set me on the path of becoming a much wiser man." "In my second marriage, I made very different choices and have the best relationship ever. Nothing has brought more joy to my life than being with someone who truly loves me, getting to love and take care of her, and having her love and take care of me. Marrying my second wife is the second-best decision I've ever made — to be in a healthy relationship, with good communication, where everyone knows how to feel, regulate, and express their feelings constructively. Where we like to do the same things on the weekends and where we like being together." —AldusPrime Note: Some responses have been edited for length and/or clarity.

Family Speaks Out After Dad and Daughter Found Dead on Hike: ‘Days Have Been Filled with Endless Hours of Heartache'
The family of Tim and Esther Keiderling, the father and daughter who died while hiking in Maine, has spoken out Heinrich Arnold, Tim's brother-in-law, said the 'heartbreaking tragedy' has been "difficult to fully grasp" Tim and Esther's bodies were discovered on Mount Katahdin on June 3 and June 4, respectivelyThe family of Tim and Esther Keiderling, the father and daughter who died while hiking in Maine, has spoken out about the tragedy. In a statement shared via the family's New York-based church, Tim's brother-in-law, Heinrich Arnold, thanked community members for their 'outpouring of prayers and support" after the "heartbreaking tragedy." Explaining that Tim, a father of six, and Esther's deaths have been "difficult to fully grasp," he continued, "Both were taken from us far too soon, and we are all left asking: 'Why?' " "One comfort to the family is knowing that Tim and Esther were doing something they both were passionate about: being near to God, surrounded by expansive views and visions, immersed in nature, in the raw and wild beauty of creation," added Arnold. The relative also said: "The last few days have been filled with endless hours of heartache and prayer as we prayed for God's protection and his comfort in this loss." Joe Keiderling, Tim's brother, told NBC News that his sibling was "utterly unique." The pair both worked for the medical supply company Rifton Equipment. "Many young men and women remember him as an elementary school teacher who could hold them spellbound with wildly imaginative stories and escapades in the woods and fields of the Hudson Valley he called home," Joe continued. Of Esther, Joe said his niece was quiet but "deeply sensitive," telling NBC News, "She loved reading and writing, with a particular fondness for the poets Gerard Manley Hopkins and Edna St. Vincent Millay." Tim, 58, and Esther, 28, both of Ulster Park, N.Y., were last seen on Sunday, June 1, at around 10:15 a.m. local time. They had set out from the Abol Campground to hike Mount Katahdin, according to a statement from the Maine Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife. Days later, on Tuesday, June 3, authorities updated the statement, writing that a Maine Warden Service K9 search team found Tim's body near the summit of the mountain, but his daughter remained missing. The organization updated the statement again the following day on Wednesday, June 4, announcing that searchers had found Esther's body.

Loved ones gather in Northeast Philadelphia to celebrate return of U.S. Marine lance corporal after 4 years abroad
Friends and family to celebrate the return of a Marine in Holmesburg after four years abroad Friends and family to celebrate the return of a Marine in Holmesburg after four years abroad Friends and family to celebrate the return of a Marine in Holmesburg after four years abroad Friends and family gathered in Northeast Philadelphia's Holmesburg neighborhood on Friday to celebrate the return of a son, brother, grandson, nephew and friend after four years abroad with the United States Marine Corps. Four years ago on Friday, 17-year-old Jake Fusetti left for boot camp, embarking on a journey that would result in him being stationed on the other side of the world with the U.S. military. On June 6, 2021, 17-year-old Jake Fusetti left for boot camp, embarking on a journey that would result in him being stationed on the other side of the world with the U.S. military. CBS Philadelphia On Friday, U.S. Marine Lance Corporal Jake Fusetti was welcomed home after spending the last three years stationed in Okinawa, Japan. "It's definitely a lot, you know I've been overseas for the last three years, thankfully I've been home twice before. But it's been so long since I've been home for good," Fusetti said. "I'm happy to be home surrounded by friends and family here. So I mean, it's great." Fusetti also shared how much he enjoyed his time abroad, which afforded him the opportunity to be immersed in other cultures. CBS Philadelphia "It was great in Okinawa," Fusetti said. "I mean it was a wonderful three years, especially being a police officer, I got to deal with the local population, other Marines, the Air Force, the Army, it was honestly great, I wouldn't trade it for anything. I'm so happy I did it." Not surprisingly, Fusetti's parents had quite a different experience with their son being thousands of miles from home. "As a father, he would tell me things that you don't see on the news, you don't hear about," Mark Fusetti, Jake's father, said. "That is also like, yeah, you're not in war, but you're seeing a lot, you're dealing with a lot." CBS Philadelphia With his son home again, it was time to celebrate. "It was great that everyone could come down on a nice, beautiful weekend, where you know everyone wants to run to the shore. It worked out perfectly, everyone was home," the proud father said. But family aside, the question remained what Jake Fusetti missed most about the Philly area. "Honestly, I missed a good cheesesteak from Steve's, a whiz witout – that's what the thing I've been missing the most," he said. "And I can't wait to get back there."
