Duchess of Sussex Megan Markle has been under the limelight from the moment she started dating her now husband, Prince Harry.

Media outlets and famous magazines were all obsessed with her every move and the public was eagerly waiting to learn what the new addition to the Royal Family was up to at any moment. All the fuss made her and Prince Harry step down from royal duties and turn to a much quieter life in the United States together with their cute son Archie whom they welcomed in their lives in 2019.

And as fans paid close attention to Markle’s change of style, as well as hairstyle, they discovered how the actress’s natural hair is in fact curly. She inherited it from her mom Doria who is an African-American.

A post shared by Meghan Markle 🔵 (@meghanmarkle_official) on

Kamie Crawford, former Miss Teen USA and vlogger wrote on Twitter: “SOLVED MY OWN CASE. We got curls in the royal palace,” and posted a photo of the Suits actress.

Many accused her of putting too much focus on Meghan’s race, emphasizing her curly hair, but Crawford answered back and wrote, “If you don’t understand that this tweet is in celebration of Meghan and all of her royal gorgeousness. You’re intelligent enough to speak to me, even though a tweet (…) Please go sit down somewhere while the rest of us co-wash our curls with joy for our new princess.”

Well, as it turns out, people believe Markle looked divine with the curls and wonder why she never appears in her all-natural edition. They want to see her rocking her curls so badly that they even started a petition back in 2017 asking the former actress to go back to her natural curly hair, according to Elle Australia.

Curls or no curls, Megan Markle looks stunning.

Single gay man adopted Cambodian orphan who was struggling to survive. He’s now representing the US at the Olympics

This is the incredible story of Jordan Windle, 22-year-old diver who got to the Olympic Games in Tokyo this year as part of the U.S. Olympic Diving Team.

When he was just a year old, Jordan’s parents died and he was left to live in an orphanage in his homeland of Cambodia. He was a fragile baby who suffered from parasitic infection and whose future didn’t seem bright. However, that all changed when Jerry Windle, a gay man from Florida, stumbled upon an article about a single man who adopted a child from Cambodia.

“The story went on to talk about the close relationship between the father and his son, and something kind of clicked in my head… The article listed (the number of an adoption service) and so I called the number and I said ‘I just read an article, is it possible for a single person to adopt a child?’ and they said ‘Yes, it is,'” Jerry shared with Today.

Months later, he was holding his son in his arms and was ready to give him a new lease on life back in America.

When Jordan turned 7, he attended a summer camp and it was the start of an incredible life journey which involved the sport that would change this young man’s life forever; diving.

While Jordan was at the summer camp, Jerry got a call from Tim O’Brien, whose father Ron O’Brien coached a number of successful divers over the years. Tim told Jerry that there was something in his son and that he was meant for diving.

Two years after Jordan’s first encounter with diving, he “won his first junior national championship, which is almost unprecedented for somebody that just got into a sport,” as his dad told Today. “I know the hard work that he’s put into it, it’s been earned, and I’m just really excited and proud that with his coaching staff, he’s been able to accomplish such an amazing feat,” the proud father added.

When asked why he dives, Jordan answers that it’s because of his dad. Jerry is extremely happy to watch his son succeed and how his career skyrockets further and further with each passing year.

Sadly, because of the pandemic and all the restrictions, Jerry couldn’t accompany his son to Tokyo.

“I can usually hear (my dad) out of everyone in the audience, which is awesome. Not having him at the Olympics will be different,” Jordan said, as per The News & Observer. “I wish he was there, but that doesn’t really change what I’m going there to do: To have fun, show off a little bit, and put on a show for everyone. That’s going to be my intention and I’m hopefully going to make him proud.”

The young star thanked his father for everything he has done for him over the years. “Without him making all the sacrifices that he has, and his love and support the whole time we’ve been together, I really wouldn’t be where I am today. I have him to thank for everything, all my accomplishments. It’s been an amazing journey with him, and we’re still rolling.”

Landon, a 7-year-old boy with autism, was going to his first flight alone. He was about to meet with his father. His mother, Alexa, hoped everything would be just fine but she had her concerns because she was aware her son could easily get scared. In order to ease her fears, she decided to write a letter to the person who would be sitting next to Landon. She then gave the letter to her son and asked him to hand it to the passenger next seat.

The letter read:

“Hello! This is Landon! He is 7 yrs. old and this is his first flight alone today.

“He has high functioning autism, which means he is very smart and loving, but he tends to get emotional when he is scared and can get hyper. He might ask you “are we there yet” a few times or get a little loud with his headphones on. If you could please find it in your heart to make him feel comfortable and safe I would be forever grateful!

“He might get scared on take off, But he has snacks packed and games to play. My Name is Alexa (Mom) and if you see anything on the flight I should know, please txt or call me. this is for you! ($10) Thank you so much and try to enjoy your flight! Alexa.”

The person who ended up sitting next to Landon was a man named Ben Pedraza. He was deeply touched by this mom’s honest words and her concerns so he made sure he kept Landon company. The two played rock-scissors-paper together, talked about school, and played video games.

Once the boy’s visit was over, he returned home and gave his mom a letter from Ben who wrote that she was a lucky mom for having such a great son as Landon. He also added that he didn’t want to take the $10 she enclosed at first, but he then decided to donate it to the Autism Society in honor of Landon.

This mom was very grateful to the perfect stranger who made her son’s fight comfortable.

Husband and wife of 67 years die within hours of each other

True love is hard to find, so when you stumble upon it make sure you never let it go.

Floyd and Violet met when they were teenagers. They felt instant connection and somehow knew they were meant for one another, but after graduation, Floyd enlisted in the Navy and the two lost touch.

Some years later, their paths crossed again and they never let go of one another.

Floyd and Violet tied the knot on August 16, 1947, moved to a ranch in California, and welcomed three children together.

These two were in love with one another their entire lives. They never spent a day separated and stood by each other’s side through thick and thin.

Speaking of the beautiful union of her parents, the couple’s daughter, Donna, said: “I think what we think most of them is how hardworking they were. They worked side by side cutting cotton, feeding turkeys, supporting each other and supporting children. And you felt like they had a connection, and I think that connection came more and more, especially in the last months of their lives.”

When they reached old age, Floyd’s and Violet’s health started deteriorating. Although he had a hard time walking, Floyd always found the strength to help his loving wife.

Donna recalled that one day she brought her parents to the doctor’s and her father said: “I’m fine. I want her fixed,” referring to Violet.

Over time, Floyd experienced kidney failure and doctors told the family he only had weeks to live. Wanting him and Violet to spend the last days of his life together, they brought her to the hospital to see him. Floyd was in pain, so nurses placed Violet in the bed next to Floyd’s and joined the beds together. Floyd and Violet held hands when he left this world. Just a couple of hours later, she passed away, too.

“We felt blessed because that’s what they wanted,” Donna said in tears. “It was meant to be, and that’s the only way it could end.”

Floyd and Violet were married for 67 years before they both said the final goodbye in 2015.

Many people who came across this touching story couldn’t help but share their thoughts on the everlasting love between Floyd and Violet. “May they rest in peace. What a beautiful story. Respect…..isn’t this what we all aim for…?” one person wrote. “This is something I treasure about true love….it never ends, not even in death,” another person added.

Gary Sinise builds custom home for Marine who lost both legs at war

Few people have a huge heart like that of actor Gary Sinise. This incredible man has done so much for our military men and women throughout the years that we can never thank him enough.

Best known for his role as Lt. Dan in the film “Forrest Gump,” Sinise has spent his life helping others and spreading kindness and joy where they are needed the most. His non-profit organization, Gary Sinise Foundation, has raised $194 million for wounded veterans, first responders, and their families from 2011 to 2019. Among the rest, the foundation constructs specially adapted smart homes for severely wounded veterans that are provided mortgage-free.

It looks like Sinise is doing all in his power to ensure that his portrayal of Lt. Dan, who lost both legs during a military operation, has much more influence than just being a character in a film.

This time, Sinise changed the life of a veteran who suffered the same fate as Lt. Dan.

Marine Staff Sgt. Jonathon Blank, who served in Afghanistan, lost both his legs and suffered a head injury when an improvised explosive device detonated next to him in October 2010.

The custom built house Sinise’s foundation gave Blank is easy to navigate and has everything this man needs. It is energy efficient, has lights and blinders which are controlled remotely, as well as voice-activated technology. In addition to that, the house has a lift which helps Blank move from one floor to the other.

“He’s always dragging and carrying all of his belongings up and down the stairs,” Blank’s fiancée Brittney said. “No obstacle is too significant for him to overcome, but simply seeing cupboards that he can reach by pulling them down rather than having to hop up there can make a world of difference for him.”

So far, Gary Sinise Foundation has helped built around 60 homes for the injured veterans.

Isaiah Acosta was born without a jaw but still found a way for people to hear him

When Isaiah Acosta was born on October 31, 1999, both doctors and his parents were shocked to say the least. His appearance was quite different than that of other babies. Believe it or not, Isaiah was born without a jaw. On top of that, he was born prematurely and was left without oxygen for around 15 minutes.

Doctors asked his parents whether they wanted to give their son a fighting chance or not. They were convinced Isaiah wouldn’t survive, but his mom and dad knew their baby boy was a fighter and begged doctors to save him. They agreed, but told the family their son wouldn’t be able to walk or speak. In fact, they said Isaiah would spend his life bed-bound.

Although he’s not able to speak, Isaiah lives pretty fulfilling life. He still uses a tube to breath and has never tasted food. Instead, he’s fed through a feeding tube on his belly six times a day. Despite everything, Isaiah, who is 22 years today, graduated from high-school and even became the first mute rapper the world has ever heard of.

In a documentary about her son’s life, Isaiah’s mother, Tarah, said: “Everything in his body is a mirror image flipped backwards. His stomach, his heart, I mean everything.”

One of Isaiah’s high-school teachers, Chris, said in the documentary which aired in 2017: “Isaiah comes to school every day energetic and ready to interact, he wraps his community together, people want to know his story, they want to be around him.”

Because he can’t breath through his nose or mouth, Isaiah gets sick more often than others, especially during the cold Arizona winters.

One of Isaiah’s greatest passions in life is music. Although he’s not able to sing with his own voice, he still makes music and writes lyrics. Thanks to rapper Tikey “Trap House” Patterson, who voiced Isaiah’s first rap, this young man got to “sing.”

Isaiah’s life story is as miraculous as it is inspirational and fascinating. He is very active on the social media where he has a huge number of followers.

In 2022, he shared on Instagram that he had undergone a nose procedure which would hopefully allow him to start breathing through his nose.

This young man has overcome a number of obstacles during his life and he’s proving doctors wrong with each passing day.

21-year-old girl is raising her 5 siblings on her own after both their parents die of cancer

Life is unpredictable. We never really know what the future holds for each and every one of us and we usually take things for granted. Today we have it all, and in the next moment, we can find ourselves crashed from the situations and obstacles that suddenly came our way.

The Rodriguez family from Orlando, Florida was a happy one. But then, the mother of six, Lisa Smith, died of cervical cancer in 2013. It was then up to her husband, Alexander Rodriguez, to take care of the family. He gave his wife the word that he would always be there for their kids, but he couldn’t keep the promise, as he died of lymphoma just three years later.

All of a sudden, the six siblings were left all alone and only had each other. That’s when the oldest of them, Samantha, took the role of both a mom and dad.

Samantha’s story is touching. She recently shared it with The View and spoke of the life after the loss of their parents.

“My reality [was] I’m 17 but these are my brothers and sisters, and when I looked at them, I knew that they’re children,” she said. “They’re vulnerable and they need an adult, so I became their adult.”

If she hadn’t done it, her brothers and sisters could easily end up in the foster care system. At the same time, it would mean that her dad’s promise to her mom would be broken, and she could never let something like that happen.

“I knew what I had to do,” Samantha told CNN, and added, “I learned so much from my mom. I was like her sidekick so I learned what it meant to raise a family. When we lost her, I knew that I wanted to be just like her in every way. That’s what I wanted to do for the kids.”

Today, 21 year old Samantha is attending college and is working as a waitress in order to be able to provide for the family. All of her siblings, Destiny, 7, Bella, 9, Michael, 12, Brenda, 15, and Milagros, 16, go to school regularly and have food and clothes all thanks to their brave sister.

Speaking of her decision to go back to school, Samantha told The View that in case she didn’t do it, she couldn’t explain it to her siblings how important it is for them to be great students and to graduate.

“When I [graduated] the kids were very proud of me and they came to my graduation and it was amazing. I didn’t know people who graduated high school or went college, and I didn’t have that direction so it was hard for me,” Samantha said. “When I realized that I wanted the kids to finish and that I wanted them to be successful, I was like I need to give them that example and show them.”

Whoopi Goldberg asked the young girl what is that she cherishes the most in life which her parents taught her, to what she answered, “They showed us not to take anything for granted. That’s something I try to teach the kids. At the end of the day, the material things don’t matter. What’s given can be taken away so fast. The only thing that really matters is family and love and support.”

He brothers and sisters are aware that Samantha had to give up her life in order to take care of them and are very thankful for that. She on the other hand says being there for her siblings is what makes her truly happy.

We hope this incredible family will have all their dreams come true because they deserve only the best in life.

Take a look at the siblings being guests at The View and the surprise they got in the video below.

Ride share driver finds a lost toddler

The story this young Lyft driver has to share is just a proof how sometimes things fall into place simply because we happen to be in the right place at the right time. 

Ashton Mazyck from Worcester, Massachusetts is a behavioral therapist who works with children by day and drives for Lyft at night, trying to earn some extra money. When this company first offered their services on the market, people were a bit hesitant whether it was safe for them to be taking peer-to-peer shared rides with complete strangers. However, over time, everyone realized how using Lyft’s services saves time and money and how all those drivers are trustworthy people who’ll go above and beyond for their customers’ safety.

It was a few days ago when Ashton called the night off and headed home. Pretty tired from the long shift, he just wanted to make it home and take some rest before he goes to his day job early in the morning. 

However, just after he parked the car at the parking lot, he noticed a figure that resembled a shivering animal. He felt sorry for it and decided to get closer when he figured out it wasn’t an animal but a 2-year-old girl. 

It was already 3 a.m and Ashton couldn’t understand what a child so young was doing outside on the cold, or how she got there in the first place. The first thing he did was to call his mother who happened to live in the same building and ask her to bring a blanket. 

His mother, Vida Mazyck quickly rushed down. They took the girl inside and tried to warm her up before they contacted the police and reported the incident. 

Vida said: 

“Her feet were numb. I kept saying, ‘Does this hurt?’ And she couldn’t feel me rubbing her feet.”

The girl was taken to the hospital and provided with some help regarding her shivering.

The police later informed Ashton how the girl managed to run away from home while her grandma, who was supposed to babysit her while her mommy was doing late shift, fell asleep. 

After she left her home barefoot and with light clothing, she got confused and didn’t know how to find the way back so she just huddled next to the building’s main entrance. And that’s when Ashton stumbled upon her. 

This incident along with the story went viral. Ashton was contacted by many news outlets. He said:  

“I don’t know how long she was out there, but I’m just definitely thankful, you know, that I was there when I was.”

Vida doesn’t like the idea of her son working late, but she is now grateful he worked that night and spotted the young soul in need of help. 

YouTube

The toddler’s family is beyond grateful to both Ashton and Vida for stepping in for their little girl. These mother and son are real angels.
