I can never forget my husband for changing his will behind my back

Alice, a single mom of two daughter, met Nicholas when she was at the lowest point in her life. It didn’t take long before they fell for one another and tied the knot. Having been divorced and having an estranged son, Nicholas filled in the role of a fatherly figure for the girls and raised them as his own.

Life seemed perfect. Years passed by and Alice’s daughters got married and had their own families.

Nicholas was always present in their lives. What’s most, he was the perfect granddad to one of his stepdaughter’s children.

Over the years, he never spoke to his ex-wife and barely connected with his son, Nick Jr.

One time, he and Nick got into a quarrel and Nick called his father names. He refused to have any contact with Nicholas, and Nicholas seemed to have come to terms with the harsh reality.

Alice and Nicholas’ marriage resembled a fairy tale. They got along perfectly and were happy by each other side. But that was until a “faithful” decision changed it all.

Out of the blue, Nicholas informed Alice one night that he had changed his will and was leaving everything to his son once his passes away. That included the huge house he and Alice lived in and all his savings. This came as a shock to Alice. Nicholas was perfectly healthy, so why would he even think about dying.

This meant that in case of his passing, Alice was going to be both homeless and penniless. She was both angered and disappointed. She and Nicholas had been together for over 20 years. How could he do something like that to her.

Devastated, Alice contacted her daughter Darlene, telling her about Nicholas’ will. Darlene was as stunned as her mother. She said she didn’t expect her stepdad to leave anything to her and her sister, but her mom had the right to that house as much as Nicholas.

Darlene then called her sister Rosaline, and they both agreed that their stepdad’s decision was wrong on so many levels.

They advised their mother to talk to Nicholas and try to make him change his mind, but Alice knew her husband all too well and knew she couldn’t influence his choices. Yet, she spoke to him again, but to no avail.

That night, she took some of her belongings and went to Rosaline’s place. No matter how hard it was, the three decided to take Nicholas to court and overturn his will.

Eventually, he decided to sell the house and give Alice half the money. She also received a portion of his savings but never saw him again. According to her, Nicholas never truly considered her and her daughters his family.

A lifeguard and surf instructor, who had roles in movies like Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides and Blue Crush, died Sunday due to a suspected shark attack on Oahu’s North Shore, Hawaii, officials reported.

Tamayo Perry, 49, was a respected North Shore waterman and had served with Honolulu Ocean Safety for eight years, according to a statement by Honolulu Mayor Rick Blangiardi.

“It is with profound sadness that we mourn the loss of one of our incredibly dedicated City and County of Honolulu lifeguards, who tragically lost his life today in an apparent shark attack on the North Shore,” Blangiardi said. “Our hearts go out to his family, friends, and colleagues in Ocean Safety during this incredibly difficult time.”

Perry “exemplified bravery, commitment and a deep sense of duty, serving our community with unwavering dedication. His heroic actions and tireless efforts to ensure the safety of our residents and visitors will never be forgotten,” Blangiardi added.

The Honolulu Emergency Services Department issued a statement writing a surfer was “fatally injured” in a shark attack off Goat Island on June 23, just before 1 p.m. local time.

The person who called the emergency services reported that the surfer’s body had multiple bite wounds.

His body was brought ashore by lifeguards using a Jet Ski, and EMS paramedics declared him dead at the scene, officials said. The surfer was identified as Perry, confirmed by Ocean Safety.

Acting Chief Kurt Lager of Honolulu Ocean Safety stated at a press conference, “Tamayo Perry was a lifeguard loved by all.”

Emilia Perry, a fellow surfer, said of her husband, “Tragic though his passing may be, he left this world doing what he loved, where he loved to do it.”

According to Surfer magazine, Perry was renowned for his expertise at Pipeline, one of the world’s most famous surf breaks, located off Ehukai Beach Park on Oahu’s north side.

The Encyclopedia of Surfing notes that he was close friends with singer Jack Johnson and was born and raised on Oahu’s east side.

Perry and his spouse ran a surf school together on the North Shore of Oahu.

On Monday, condolences poured in from across the surfing community.

 “This one is hard to believe,” surfing legend Kelly Slater wrote, “Your truly lived the life you loved.”

We are so very sorry for this loss. May he rest in peace.

Why Prince William was ‘furious’ when relationship with Kate Middleton was made public

By

The love story of the Prince and Princess of Wales caught the attention of the wide public the moment their relationship went public.

William and Kate met at St. Andrews University. At the time, the Prince didn’t enjoy the classes because he was far away for home. Speaking of those days he said he didn’t think he was homesick, but “daunted,” according to royal author Katie Nicholl.

“My father was very understanding about it and realized I had the same problem as he probably had. We chatted a lot, and in the end we both realized—I definitely realized—that I had to come back,” William was reported to have said.

During the second term, William laid eyes on Kate, who was described as “quiet” and “shy.” It didn’t take long before he asked her to join him at the dinning hall.

In the fall of 2002, they both moved to an off-campus apartment together with other friends. The Prince, however, was nearly not allowed to move in due to the “no boys policy.”

“We’d had an unfortunate experience with some boys in the flat once before and we were determined not to have young men there again. Broken furniture, broken windows – there was a lot of damage, so that put us off really. I said to this young lady we’d really rather not have more boys and she said, ‘What if I were to tell you that it was Prince William?’” Charlotte Smith, the landlady, told the Daily Mail.

It was Smith’s husband who convinced her to make an exception for the young Prince.

“We arranged to meet Kate Middleton, Fergus and Olivia before they moved in but we thought we’d better not ask to see Prince William because we thought his credit rating must be quite good. But he insisted on meeting us,” she added.

William was a romantic guy who would try to impress Kate with cooking for her.

What he feared at the time was that if their relationship went public, the paparazzi would go after Kate, and he didn’t want that because he was very protective of her.

However, during a ski trip, a photographer took a photo of the couple cozied up on the slopes and that photo appeared on the cover of a magazine the following day. Needless to say, this left William enraged.

“Unfortunately for them, a paparazzi photographer took pictures of William and Kate clearly very close on the ski lift together. A red top tabloid newspaper slashed it all over their front page,” royal expert Rebecca England said on Channel 5’s documentary William & Kate: Too Good To Be True. “William was furious, and he was also genuinely worried for Kate and her family about what this would now mean for them.”

And as everyone believed a royal marriage was just around the corner, the two split in 2007.

Recalling the time of their break up, both Kate and William claimed it was actually good for them because they got to “find themselves.” Kate even said that “you can get quite consumed by a relationship when you’re younger,” as per The Telegraph.

The two got back together in 2008 and William proposed to Kate in 2010 during a trip to Kenya with his late mother’s engagement ring.

Today, after three children and years of being together, William and Kate’s relationship is as strong as ever.

Prince William & Kate Middleton were warned not to have a third child

By

Being a much-loved member of the British Royal Family, Kate Middleton’s life has been closely followed by the public and the media.

Back in the day, when it was announced that she and William were dating and later got engaged, Britons seemed to have embraced the new Princess with arms wide open. The news that she was carrying a baby boy, a future king, made the public fall for Kate even more.

When pregnant with George, the Princess was diagnosed with hyperemesis gravidarum, acute morning sickness. She had to go to the hospital, an experience she recalled as “rotten.” Sadly, she experienced the same while carrying her other two children.

In 2020, Kate Middleton was a guest on Giovanna Fletcher’s podcast Happy Mum, Happy Baby, where she spoke of her condition.

“[It was] utterly rotten. I was really sick,” she said.

“I wasn’t eating the things I should be eating and yet the body was still able to take all the goodness from my body and to grow new life, which I think is fascinating.”

The princess continued: “William didn’t feel he could do much to help and it’s hard to see you’re suffering without actually being able to do anything about it.”

She was happy when she was in labor, she added. “Because actually, it was an event that I knew there was going to be an ending to,” she explained. “But I know some people have really, really difficult times, so it’s not for everybody. No pregnancy is the same, no birth is the same.”

Asked if she remembered how long she had between giving birth to George and later posing on the Lindo Wing steps, Kate said, “Oh my gosh, I can’t remember. Everything goes in a bit of a blur.” 

She concluded: “I think, yeah, I did stay in hospital overnight. I remember it was one of the hottest days and nights with huge thunderstorms, so I didn’t get a huge amount of sleep, but George did, which was really great. I was keen to get home because, for me, being in hospital, I had all the memories of being in hospital because of being sick so it wasn’t a place I wanted to hang around in. So, I was really desperate to get home and get back to normality.”

Kate and William welcomed their second child, Princess Charlotte, in 2015, and Prince Louis in 2018. Just like their oldest sibling, Charlotte and Louis were presented to the world at the steps of Lindo Wing at London St. Mary’s Hospital.

However, before falling pregnant with Louis, Kate was warned not to give birth to another child.

The Executive Director President Anne Green Carter Dillard of the children’s organization Having Kids – which promotes a “sustainable and child-centered family planned mode” – urged Prince William and Kate Middleton to rethink their decision.

In fact, he presented his opinion in an open letter.

“As you know and appreciate, the example the British Royal Family sets is extremely influential. Many studies also show that public figures serve as effective role models when it comes to family planning. Your discussion of having a larger family raises compelling issues of sustainability and equity,” the letter read.

“Large families are not sustainable.”

Yet, the Prince and Princess of Wales welcomed sweet Prince Louis, and we are glad they did because he’s an exceptional young boy.

Prince William feared Prince Harry was ‘blindsided by lust’ when dating Meghan Markle

By

When Prince Harry introduced his then-girlfriend Meghan Markle to his brother, Prince William, the two were said to have “clicked” right away.

William was very fond of her, although she believed at the time that the relationship between the two would be “trying” from the off, according to Omid Scobie and Carolyn Durand, authors of the Pro-Sussex biography Finding Freedom.

“She was self-aware enough to understand that the brothers were wary of women who were more interested in their titles than their wellbeing,” Scobie and Durand wrote in the book. “And she couldn’t have come from a more different world than that of William, his wife, and most of their friends.”

The first-ever encounter between William and Meghan was quite pleasant for both of them.

William was reported to have said to his brother’s girlfriend: “I was looking forward to meeting the girl who has put that silly grin on my brother’s face.”

However, despite the initial connection, William believed Harry was rushing things with Meghan and advised him to take it slow, which Harry didn’t like.

“William soon began to wonder about some of Meghan’s traits and motivations,” a source told the Daily Mail, as revealed by the Express.

“He was worried that at times she seemed to be more concerned about her personal progression or profile over the wider goals and aims of the Royal Family.

The future king was said to have told his brother, “Don’t feel you need to rush this,” and “Take as much time as you need to get to know this girl.” Allegedly, Harry got upset by the phrase “this girl,” but all William wanted was “to make sure that Harry wasn’t blindsided by lust,” Omid Scobie wrote.

Eventually, William decided not to interfere because he could see Meghan was trying to do adjustments in order to fit in the family.

When it comes to Meghan and Kate, their relationship hasn’t been a close one since the beginning. The reason why, according to royal authors Omid Scobie and Carolyn Durand, was that the two never made real efforts to get to know each other better.

“Meghan would agree with the assessment that the Duchesses were not the best of friends,” they wrote in Finding Freedom. “Their relationship hadn’t progressed much since [Markle] was Harry’s girlfriend.”

Further, the authors claimed that Meghan expected some form of support from Kate, especially during the hard time she had experienced with the press, but she didn’t receive it.

According to what Harry wrote in Spare, Meghan and Kate got into an argument prior to the Sussexes’ wedding.

Allegedly, Kate wasn’t happy with Princess Charlotte’s dress, who was a flower-girl.

However, although Kate claimed her daughter was in distress because of the dress, which allegedly was “too big, too long, too baggy,” she refused to meet Meghan’s tailor at Kensington Palace to have it fixed.

“Meg asked if Kate was aware of what was going on right now. With her father,” Harry said. “Kate said she was well aware, but the dresses. And the wedding is in four days!”

“I’m not sure what else to say. If the dress doesn’t fit then, please take Charlotte to see Ajay. He’s been waiting all day,” Meghan texted Kate, according to Harry.

Kate replied with, “Fine,” Harry explained in his all-tell memoir.

The relationship between the two has been stranded ever since Harry and Meghan stepped down from their royal duties. However, when Kate disclosed with the public her cancer diagnosis some months ago, the Sussexes reached out to her, sharing their concerns and offering support.

Meghan refuses to travel to Britain with her children due to the lack of protection, which further deepens the rift with the rest of the royals.

Shelbey knew she had to do everything she could to cheer her loving grandma up. 

A bunch of interesting ideas went through her mind, but eventually one that couldn’t be surpassed popped up. 

Although what she had on mind was a bit tricky, she was determined to proceed with her plan of bringing Donna’s best friend Patsy for a visit. Patsy is the sweetest little pooch this grandma loves with all her heart. 

YouTube

Shelby shared with Inside Edition the touching story of Donna. She took the puppy in while it was till a baby and nurtured her from the day she entered her home. From bottle feeding, to making sure she has the coziest life a puppy could have, Patsy became an inseparable part of Donna’sx  existence.

“She’s had this dog forever, and this dog is her baby. She was small enough to fit in the palm of her hand.”

YouTube

The way everything unfolded resembles a movie-like scene. Not having the time to take a veterinarian permission to bring Patsy to the hospital, Shelby did something that made us laugh.

She wrapped Patsy into a blanket and entered the hospital, deceiving the staff into believing she was caring a baby. 

She told Inside Edition that she wasn’t really worried about the repercussions.

“It was just so spur-of-the-moment and I didn’t have time to go to my grandma’s veterinarian’s office… Nobody would have stopped me to see my baby. The worst they could have told me was to leave.”

Seeing her puppy was the ultimate surprise that made Donna feel better in an instant.

“It made her a lot happier. She wasn’t feeling very good and it made her more relaxed. She did go home the next day. Medically, it didn’t have anything to do with Patsy, but I’m still thinking it had a little bit to do with her.”

Dog saved from coyote attack by an unlikely hero

By

Some of our all-time favorite cartoons from our younger days have taught us that cats and dogs don’t get along. Their disagreements have been portrayed in funny manners that convinced us these creatures are sworn enemies.

The truth is that science says the same.

Scientists state that the innate rivalry between canines and felines has existed for millions of years, long before they were domesticated, and that is the reason why the stories of friendships between cats and dogs are our favorite.

Lane Dyer, of Edmond, Oklahoma, is a proud mom of a 6-year-old Havanese dog named Oakley, and a black cat named Binx.

Binx appeared on Dyer’s doorstep when she was still a little kitten, around two-months old.

Screenshoot

Oakley and Binx have been “polar opposites,” but they have always got along well.

Recently, Binx proved just how great of a friend she is when she stepped up for Oakley and saved her from an unexpected coyote attack.

Oakley was left out of the house to use the bathroom when she was suddenly attacked by the wild animal. Being tiny, she couldn’t defend herself and was overpowered by the coyote.

As she struggled to get away, another coyote appeared. Oakley was helpless. Luckily, Binx witness the scary attack and decided to act. She ran towards the wild animals and scared them off.

Oakley was badly hurt, “gushing blood” from her chest. Her leg was also injured, but vets tried to save it from being amputated.

Once the ordeal was over, the family checked the security cameras and that’s when they realized it was the cat who saved her doggy friend. 

Sharing the video for her social media friends and followers to see, she captioned it, “the craziest thing ever.”

Speaking to KFOR, Dyer said, “I was kind of inspired by it, quite frankly. It was inspiring to see just our little outdoor cat just jump at two coyotes that were attacking this little dog who she loves and run them off.”

Oakley needed surgery in order to recover fully, but she’s happy she’s got someone like her cat friend who’s got her back.

Rachael Ray addresses fans with concerning health update following slurred speech video

By

In an Instagram video in which she paid tribute to late Tony Bennett by preparing his favorite dish, chef Rachael Ray seemed to be struggling with her speech. Her “slurring” of the words and a portion of her face seemingly dropping concerned her fans. Comments began flooding in with a number of people speculating she has been having problems with alcoholism while others suspected she has had a stroke.

“I think it’s a mini stroke. Part of her mouth seems sinking. When was this????,” one user noted in the comments, while another stated, “She’s aging like the rest of us. Maybe she has a medical condition, maybe she is on medication. Regardless, no need to be mean.” Someone else commented, “It’s obvious something going on and I’d say alcohol based on swollen face and body.”

“One corner of her mouth is much lower than the other. The nurse in me would have her go into be checked for any side effect from a Stroke or Bells Paly. Please make sure to get checked? Life is just too short,” another fan noted.

Others wrote, “She’s drunk… I hope all is well and you just had one drink to many… Praying for you,” and “Can we stop being internet doctors?” another person wrote. “Rachael Ray put in years in this industry. If she’s going through a health issue, let’s wish her well but calling her names or making fun of her is downright terrible. What’s wrong with some of y’all?”

Ray hasn’t commented on the video that was posted in September right away. Instead, she only decided to speak up about it during the debut episode of her I’ll Sleep When I’m Dead podcast.

The 56-year-old opened up about the need to perform household chores, saying, “I’m a homemaker. I love chores. I love being in the kitchen,” adding, “I always work with my brain every day, I’m always writing something, but I really like chores.”

She added: “I like what people consider physical work,” she continued. “I like making dinner, planning dinners, making lists. I love physical labor, helping carry in the wood.”

The chef added that she’s secretly competing with her husband when it comes to chores around the house. “‘How many pieces of wood did John carry? Can I carry more? I don’t say that to John. I just say it to myself,” she said.

Ray then confessed she had experienced “a couple of bad falls” which forced her to take some break from her everyday tasks but she didn’t say what exactly.

Although she didn’t fully address the viral video, she did offer an explanation.
