Recently, Justin Bieber’s wife, Hailey, posted on social media that she was admitted to hospital because of a blood clot found in her brain.
She explained that as she and Justin were having breakfast, she experienced “stroke-like symptoms” because the clot caused a small lack of oxygen. Luckily, her body passed it on its own and she started feeling better after a few hours.
The model further thanked her well wishers for their love and concern.
Justin Bieber got extremely concerned and is now keeping a close eye on his love, people close to the singer say.
He posted a video of his recent Denver concert during which he addressed the crows saying: “You know, it’s kind of crazy how life randomly throws you curve balls. You know, we can’t really control much.”
“Obviously you guys know, most of you probably know or seen the news about my wife…but she’s OK. She’s good, she’s strong,” he said.
He explained that the entire experience was extremely worrying but he knew that with the help of God everything would be fine. “It’s been really scary, but I know for a fact that God has her in the palm of his hands. And that’s a good thing.”
He added that he was happy he could celebrate life with his fans. “For us to be in this room all together laughing, smiling and singing songs — I can’t think of a better place I would rather be,” the singer said after he spoke of all the horrible things happening in the world at the moment.
Since the health scare Hailey experienced, she has returned to the audience to watch her husband perform.
The truth is that it is in humans’ nature to judge others without being aware of what they are going through and what problems they are facing in life. Often times, we forget that every person has their own issues so we fail to show sympathy.
The following story is a poignant example that we should never jump into conclusions without seeing the big picture and trying to walk a mile in the shoes of the person we dare to judge.
A doctor was called to perform an urgent surgery on a young boy.
The doctor answered the call and came to the hospital as soon as he could. He changed his clothes and rushed towards the surgery block when the father of the boy, who was anxiously pacing in the hall and was waiting for the doctor, said: “Why did you take all this time to come? Don’t you know that my son’s life is in danger? Don’t you have any sense of responsibility?”
The doctor with a calm voice: “I am sorry, I wasn’t in the hospital and I came as fast as I could after receiving the call and now, I wish you’d calm down so that I can do my work.”
“Calm down?! What if your son was in this room right now, would you calm down? If your own son dies while waiting for doctor than what will you do??” said the father angrily. The doctor smiled and replied, “We will do our best by God’s grace and you should also pray for your son’s healthy life”.
“Giving advice when we’re not concerned is so easy,” murmured the father.
After a couple of hours, the doctor got out and told the boy’s father: “Thank goodness! your son is saved!”
As he left the hospital, he added: “If you have any questions, ask the nurse”.
Instead of thanking him for saving his son’s life, the father was angry because the doctor didn’t stay to answer some questions himself. “Why is he so arrogant? He couldn’t wait some minutes so that I ask about my son’s state?” the father commented.
The nurse then answered, while tears came down her face, “His son died yesterday in a road accident, he was at the burial when we called him for your son’s surgery. And now that he saved your son’s life, he left running to finish his son’s burial.”
This story emerged on Facebook and we don’t know if it is based on true events or not, but one thing is certain, it rings true in one significant way: when upset, we are quick to lash out at others.
We should never forget to treat everyone with respect, especially doctors an nurses, who help save many lives even when they are going through difficult times themselves.

A huge number of celeb marriages end up in divorce eventually. Whether it is because most celebrities have a hard time handling their fame or because their schedules are always tight and they don’t have enough time to spend together, it never comes as a surprise when these relationships broke down. In fact, for most, it’s just a matter of time when they will announce they are splitting.
Tiger Woods, one of the most famous golfers there are, was married to beautiful Elin Nordegren. The two were introduced by Swedish professional golfer Jesper Parnevik and his wife while Nordegren worked for them as their children’s nanny.
Tiger Woods and Elin Nordegren have two children together, daughter Sam Alexis Woods and son Charlie Axel Woods.
Their marriage seemed picture-perfect, but back in 2009, the same year Charlie was born, the media exposed Wood’s extramarital affairs and the marriage simply broke.
They finalized their divorce in 2010 and Nordegren ended up receiving $100,000 and additional monthly child support of $20,000. She also received the Windermere, Florida home.
Despite cheating on her, Nordegren only had great things to say about her former husband. In an interview with People, she said in 2010, “I wish him all the best in the future, as a person and as an athlete. I know he is going to go down as the best golfer that ever lived, and rightfully so, I feel privileged to have witnessed a part of his golfing career.”
While she was still married to Woods, the Swedish beauty never gave any interviews.
“My plan was to just stay the way I was,” she explained in 2010. “For my kids, I felt that remaining private was the only normalcy. I could give them since they have a very famous dad. But after everything that happened and everything that was written and speculated — what I did or didn’t do — I felt like setting some things straight.
“I’m so embarrassed that I never suspected — not a one,” she added. “For the last 3 1/2 years, when all this was going on, I was home a lot more with pregnancies, then the children and my school.”
Regardless of their disagreements as a couple, Woods and Nordegren agreed to have a civil relationship for the sake of their children.
Their son Charlie Axel showed love for golf from early age. Well, he had the best person in the sport to look up to.
He won second place in the Kids Golf South Florida Tour in West Palm Beach, Florida, when he was just 7. Of course, Woods has always been very supportive of his son. What’s most, he even carries Charlie’s clubs around the course, as per Golf Digest.
They often play against each other.
“I’m still winning…for now. He’s starting to get into it. He’s starting to understand how to play, he’s asking me the right questions,” Woods told Golf Digest. “I’ve kept it competitive with his par, so it’s been just an absolute blast to go out there and just be with him. It reminds me so much of me and my dad [growing up].
“I don’t know [if Charlie can break some of my records]. It depends how bad he wants it. It’s all on him. I wanted it at a very, very early age. I wanted to compete and play in this game. That’s on him—whether he wants it or not.”
Of course, Woods doesn’t pressure Charlie on playing golf just because he is a golfer himself.
“It’s just an evolution. Like all kids, they go from one thing to the next. Right now, he’s into golf. But who knows, it could switch to something else. As long as he’s happy, he’s excited about whatever sport he’s in,” Woods told Golf Digest.
A lot of other children who enjoy playing golf were forced to stop playing and competing because of the pandemic, but Charlie is one of the lucky ones for having the world’s best golfer as a father so the two spent a lot of time practicing and competing in their backyard while in isolation.
In December of 2020, Woods and Charlie got to attend a competition together. They played in the exhibition tournament PNC Championship at the Ritz-Carlton Golf Club in Orlando, where a number of stars played alongside a parent or a child. The father and son played against PGA golf star Justin Thomas and his father and won.
“You’re so much better than your dad, it hurts,” Justin told Charlie.
Now that’s obvious Charlie is following into his father’s footsteps, Tiger Woods believes it is important not to expose his son to the media a lot. In fact, Woods is doing all in his power to keep 12-year-old Charlie out of the spotlight, mostly because he’s still too young to be getting much attention.
“Trying to make sure that Charlie has the right environment. He’s sheltered, he’s away from all of this,” Woods told Gold Digest. “What I have to do—making sure I do all of it, so he can practice and play, and enjoy the golf side of it. I’ll take care of all this stuff.
“A lot of people are trying to use him to build up, or write, or talk about things. Just making sure he’s able to have fun playing the game of golf.”
Witnessing just how dedicated he is to this game, we are sure Charlie will reach his father’s fame in the near future.
The story of Turia Pitt is heartbreaking and hugely inspirational at the same time. This mining engineer has gone through a lot during the past 10 years. In 2011, while competing in an ultra-marathon, she was suddenly caught in a grassfire.
No one knows how she managed to survive, as she suffered severe burns on 65 percent of her body. Turia lost seven fingers, undergone over 200 medical procedures, and spent two grueling years in recovery.
However, she wasn’t alone. The one person who stood by her side throughout the entire ordeal was her boyfriend Michael. He never considered leaving her and was her biggest support. What’s most, in 2015, he proposed to her and the two got married.
“When Turia was in intensive care four years ago I bought a diamond ring,” Michael told the Daily Mail. He never stops reminding her how beautiful she is.
It took Turia two years to take her mask off. She needed to wear it constantly so that her face healed faster.
She is happy she found a man who loves her no matter what and who didn’t leave her after the horrific accident.
“Going to sleep next to my partner I never thought anything of before. Now I think how lucky am I get to sleep next to this beautiful man. He’s a good guy and I’m very lucky to have him,” Turia shared with the Daily Mail. “Every day I wake up beside Michael is a great day.”
Turia’s life story went viral and many people from Australia and other parts of the world followed her journey after the accident.
Then, in early 2017, she and Michael shared some extraordinary news with the public. They were expecting their first child together. Later that year, baby boy Hakavai was welcomed into the world. In 2020, the Australian couple welcomed another bundle of joy into their lives, son Rahiti Hoskin.
Today, they are a perfect family of four and their story reminds us that there is always hope when true love is present.

When we imagine ourselves in a dire situation, we think we’d bold and courageous to take action, but the truth is that most of the time all reason goes out the window.
But what happened here is not the same case at all, and we’re taking about a 7-year-old boy who didn’t hesitate to gather his courage and save his parents when three armed men forced their way into the family’s house.
Carlos, the little boy, was of course terrified of the sight of his parents being threatened by the assailants, so he ran to the bathroom with his little sister and what he did there has now been getting praise from people all over the net.
Thanks to his mom, who taught him emergency scenarios, the youngster knew exactly what to do. While the attackers kept harassing the parents, Carlos quickly dialed 911.
Carlos said: “There’s some guys! They’re going to kill my mom and dad, can you come please. … Can you come really fast? PLEASE, PLEASE.”
Los Angeles County sheriff’s dispatcher Monique Patino was the one who received Carlos’ call, she later said that every help call is different but this one was “horrific”.
Carlos told Monique that the strangers had guns and were going to shoot his mom and dad. “Bring cops … lots of them!” he begged.
Monique could hear the little sister crying, she tried to keep Carlos calm, reassuring him that the police are on the way, but then things took a horrible turn when Monique suddenly heard the screams of the two little kids.
Monique recalled: “Once I heard the screams, I’m holding the phone and shaking, in tears. All I can hear is them screaming.”
The armed assailants heard sounds coming from the bathroom and quickly realized that there’s someone else hiding there, the broke down the door and there they discovered Carlos and his little sister, they demanded to know who they had been speaking to.
7-year-old Carlos bravely told them that he’d called the police and they would arrive in any moment, causing the men to do something totally unexpected.

Carlos is a brave little boy, his quick smart reaction saved all his family members

The life of Sir Tom Jones, the music icon behind the hits Delilah, Sexbomb and What’s New Pussycat among the rest, has always been interesting for the fans and the journalists. Over the years, many stories of infidelity have been related to him, but despite all that, his beloved wife of 59 years had always been ‘his lady.’
Linda Trenchard and Sir Tom Jones, who was knighted by Her Majesty, the Queen, married when they were both just 16 years old and stayed in love during their whole lives. Sadly, Linda died of cancer in April 2016, and the musician said that he will never love another woman ever again.
Sir Jones canceled all his concert after Linda’s “short but fierce” battle with lung cancer. In fact, he had a hard time coping with the reality and couldn’t gather any strength to sing long after the loss. He opened up about their love and their marriage and even said at one point how he blamed himself for her death.
He spoke of Linda’s favorite song, Bob Dylan’s What Good Am I?, and explained how he couldn’t stop reading the lyrics over and over again and thought, “Jesus Christ, was I partly to blame? Should I have woken up before? You start to think: ‘What if I had forced her to go to the doctors?’ Because she didn’t go.”
Sir Jones shared the sad news with his fans and wrote, “Surrounded by her husband and loved ones, she passed away peacefully.”
“When my wife passed away, I didn’t think I could sing,” Sir Jones explained. “When you’re emotional, you can’t sing, your voice closes up.
“There are certain songs I wouldn’t do. But you have to try and get things in the right perspective. Feeling emotional; use it to your advantage and put it into the song.”
He, however, wanted to fulfill one of her wishes and moved to London after her death. Linda always wanted to get back to her roots and move to England again, so her husband sold their mansion in LA because he knew it was something she wanted.
“She always said she wanted to come back and then she could not do it, so then she told me to do it in the last week she was alive.”
The couple had one son, Mark Woodward, but Sir Jones had another son on his own, with a woman he had an affair with. Apparently, he loved his wife unconditionally but when it came to his tours all around the country and the world, they had this “don’t ask” policy. No one really knew what Linda thought of her husband’s secret life and all those affairs.
The sex symbol once admitted he had slept with around 250 women in a year.
During one of his tours in the US, back in 1987, Sir Jones had a fling with 24-year-old Katherine Berkery. She then got pregnant and claimed the music star was the father. She added how she didn’t know he was married.
Sir Jones didn’t want to accept the reality and asked for a paternity test. The following year, he learned the boy was actually his but he still didn’t want to do anything with him or his mother.
Sir Jones was forced to pay maintenance every month until his son Jonathan turned 18. The boy grew up blaming his father’s negligence for his failures in life.
“When his wife Linda passed I hoped we could finally meet and get to know each other but it didn’t happen,” Jonathan told the Sunday Mirror.
“Now I worry about him being ill. He’s old, he might pass before I get the chance to right the wrongs. I don’t want anything from my father, all I want to do is sit and talk, tell him about my life and ask about his – just normal stuff.”
”Not having a father growing up was tough. All I ever wanted was his love. People think I look and sound like a younger version of my dad”, Jonathan said when speaking of his drug addiction and spending a few years on the streets as a homeless man.
We hope this incredible singer would eventually be able to move on and find happiness once again with his family, his fans, and the people who love him.
Every act of kindness, no matter how big or small, always goes a long way.
Vince Hietpas is a fifth grader with a heart of gold. One day, as he and his dad Lorenzo were walking through the park, they spotted a wallet on the ground. They quickly picked it up and checked inside to see who it belonged to.
After they read the name and the address of the owner from the driver’s license, Vince found the house and rang the bell. He explained that he had found the wallet that belonged to 17-year-old Chase Dahlke. It was Chase’s dad, Jackson, who opened the door and took his son’s belongings. He had a couple of dollars and gave them to Vince for returning the wallet.
However, when Chase’s stepmom, Michelle, learned that someone as young as Vince did the right thing, she wanted to get in touch with him and his family and thank them in person for raising such an honest young man.
She posted online asking if someone knew Vince, and soon after, a friend told her they knew the family. They also explained how Vince’s father had COVID-19 and due to breathing problems and inability to wear a mask, he was left without a job.
Michelle wanted to do something nice for the family and decided to set up a GoFundMe campaign. In no time, over $9,000 were raised.
Vince was over the moon. He was praised for his kind act, but he simply said: “Doing the right thing is good.”
The dream of having a big family has finally turned into a reality for parents Cary and Tim Patonai who suffered the heartbreak of 19 miscarriages before welcoming baby number three.
“Two of the miscarriages were sets of twins,” Cary told USA TODAY. “It was was traumatic for the whole family, especially our oldest child (Devlen). Each loss would break his little heart.”
Before welcoming their second son, Cary went through 17 miscarriages. Then, after Everett was born, she suffered two more before sweet Finley came to their lives.
But Finley wasn’t an ordinary baby. When doctors delivered him on October 4, he immediately turned sort of celebrity at the hospital. Everyone who heard of him was eager to see him and even take a selfie with him. If you wonder why, it’s because this cutie weighted whopping 14 pounds, 1 ounce, and was 23.75 inches long.
“The OB/GYN who performed the C-section said that in 27 years he had never seen a newborn that size. There was so much excitement in the delivery,” proud mom Cary told USA TODAY.

The couple’s other children were also quite big when they were born so Cary said jokingly, “I’m used to carrying big babies, but this was on another level.” Speaking of her pregnancy, she added, “It got to the point where I could hardly move. It would take me 30 minutes to recover from taking a shower.”
“They got him on the scale like 14.1, I’ve never seen it that big, the doctor and one of the sweetest nurses there they were all taking selfies with us, they asked permission of course, but they were just so pumped,” the 36-year-old mother said, as reported by ABC15 Arizona.
At the moment, baby Finley is wearing clothes for 6 to 9 month old babies. He’s still quite big, but he’s very healthy.
Speaking of her older son, mom Cary said, “When he was born, he was my doctor’s top five, of the biggest and I was like, just you wait, I’m gonna get to the top of the list, totally joking two years ago, and then we accidentally did it.”
Despite all the heartbreaks the miscarriages brought, this family is now complete and happy!
