Old Woman Is Denied Business Class – Then Flight Attendant Discovers Who She Really Is

Mrs. Wilson was about to travel by plane for the first time in her life. Being 89, she had mixed feelings about the flight, especially because she encountered several issues along the way.

In order not to lose her home key, she put it in her shoe, and once she was about to go through the gate, the metal detector started beeping. She thought she was in trouble as she had no idea how these things worked. After being asked to empty her pockets, the beeping could be heard again and again. The employees then explained to her that she needed to place away any metal she had, and that’s when she realized it was the key which put her in trouble.

As that was her first time at an airport, which was a huge place, she had no idea where to go and got lost.

Luckily, an employee helped her get to her plane.

As she entered the plane, a young man noticed that she had a business class ticket. He then engaged into a conversation with her and realized that he could switch his economy class seat with hers without she even knowing it. Luckily, Mrs. Wilson knew where her seat was and once she spotted it, she thanked the young man for his help.

Sadly, the person she was supposed to seat next to was an aggressive man who refused to be sitting next to an old lady. He even questioned how she was able to pay for such a seat, as Mrs. Wilson was an ordinary-looking and humble old lady.

Luckily, other passengers stood by her side and told the man that he should be ashamed of how he treated her. He then felt sorry and even helped her collect some of the photos which fell from her luggage.

Looking at one of the photos, he asked whether the little baby was Mrs. Wilson’s son. She said it was, but explained that he was not by her side.

Eager to learn more, the man asked her what happened to her son.

It was then that Mrs. Wilson started telling her life story while many of the passengers leaned forward to hear what she had to say.

She started by explaining that her father worked in the military and was killed during service. She, her mother, and her brother Peter who was mentally disabled, were left all by themselves.

Over time, as she turned 28 years old, Mrs. Wilson, whose first name was Dorothy, met the love of her life, a shepherd named Jack. They were so much in love and were planning to start a family when a tragedy took place.

One day, Peter set the house on fire and in an attempt to save him, Jack entered the burning place. Sadly, they both lost their lives.

Dorothy and her mother were devastated. They grieved for a very long time.

Not being able to cope with the loss, Dorothy’s mother went nuts and started attacking her daughter and blaming her for everything that had happened. In the meantime, shortly after Jack died, Dorothy learned she was pregnant. However, when she gave birth to her son, a baby boy she named Kevin, she was afraid for his life as he mother would often attack her with a knife.

Not knowing what to do, Dorothy thought long and hard and decided to leave Kevin at an orphanage.

A few years later, when her ailing mother passed away, she decided to track Kevin down, but no one wanted to tell her anything about him. She only knew that he got adopted and that was it.

Now, however, many, many years after leaving him, Dorothy learned where her son was thanks to a volunteer organization that specialized in searching for missing relatives.

Her long lost son was the pilot on her flight.

Hearing this story, Kevin the pilot made an announcement through the intercom.

“Dear Passengers, this is your captain speaking. Our flight is coming to an end, but our lives don’t have to end with it. Each of our lives is full of ups and downs, but that’s no reason to believe that some of us are more fortunate than others. We all get opportunities from our birth and our lives depend on how we use them without making mistakes,” he said as everyone was listening very carefully.

“We will not learn the joy of forgiveness therefore we shouldn’t look for the guilty when there aren’t any,” he continued.

Once the plane landed, many of the passengers waited to witness the reunion between these mother and son.

Whoopi Goldberg reveals her three marriages went wrong for one reason

By

Whoopi Goldberg rose to prominence with her role in the iconic movie The Color Purple, and the rest, as they say, is history.

It’s safe to say that she became a huge star almost overnight and captured the attention of millions with this Steven Spielberg’s masterpiece. Roger Ebert of the Chicago Sun-Times awarded the film four stars, calling it “the year’s best film” thus referring to Goldberg’s role as “one of the most amazing debut performances in movie history.” Eventually, she became the first Black woman to win all four major North American entertainment awards, Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, and Tony.

Living in a housing project in Manhattan with her mother as a young child, Goldberg knew that comedy was her calling in life. She dropped school and married at the age of around 18 to Alvin Martin, the first of Whoopi’s three husbands, and that many failed marriages. From this union, which didn’t last long, the actress got her daughter Alexandra.

Once she divorced, Goldberg and Alexandra moved places and lived in San Diego, Los Angeles, and San Francisco.

Her dream of becoming comedian was always there, but she was forced to do other jobs in order to provide for her daughter.

Speaking to Oprah, Goldberg revealed she once worked as a mortuary beautician.

“I did hair and makeup on dead people,” Goldberg said.

“There was an ad in the paper! And I’m a licensed beautician as well, because I went to beauty school.

“It’s a rough gig,” she added. “You have to be a certain kind of person. And you have to love people in order to make them worthy of a great send-off.”

At the same time, she did comedy and toured across the US and Europe with her one-woman production, The Spook Show. It was then that she was discovered by legendary director Mike Nichols. He was enchanted with Goldberg’s talent and soon after her show got a Broadway production.

What followed was The Color Purple and then a number of other smash hit films, including Ghost, for which she received an Academy Award, and the everlasting Sister Act, which made her the highest paid actress in history at the time.

Recently, Goldberg was suspended from the award-winning talk show The View for using what the audience considered foul language.

When it comes to her private life, Goldberg says she is at he best when she’s single because it gives her peace.

Between 1986 and 1988, Goldberg married her second husband, David Claessen, and then in 1994, she tied the knot with Lyle Trachtenberg. None of the marriages lasted long, and the actress believes she is the one to be blamed for that.

Goldberg shared that she has a hard time sharing things with others, which was the case with her ex-husbands.

“Look, people expect you to have a boyfriend. They expect you to get married,” she told the New York Times. 

“So I kept trying to do that, but I didn’t want to share information with somebody else. I didn’t want anybody asking me why I was doing what I was doing or to have to make the other person feel better.”

She then added: “But if you’re in a relationship, you have to do those things, and it took me a while to figure out that I didn’t want to.”

Quizzed by Piers Morgan on her former marriages, Goldberg admitted that she had never truly loved her husbands. She told Morgan, “I suppose that, you know, you have to actually be in love with the person that you marry. You have to really be committed to them. And I’m just – I don’t have that commitment.”

She then continued, “And it seemed to me that if I was married, I’d have a… more normal life. But clearly, that’s not the case. There’s not a good reason to get married. You have to actually want a life with someone through ups and downs. And I – I just discovered that wasn’t for me.”

The actress never spoke much of her private life. It was the same when she dated former Bond star Timothy Dalton. The two were considered a high-profile couple and dated for about a year. He even accompanied her to the 1991 Oscars when she took home the Best Supporting Actress award that night for her memorable turn as loony psychic Oda Mae Brown in Ghost. She, however, didn’t mention Dalton in her acceptance speech.

Goldberg also dates fellow co-star Ted Danson with whom she played alongside in the comedy Made in America (1993).

At the time they got involved in a relationship, Goldberg was single, but Danson was married. Once the word of their affair spread around, his then-wife Cassandra Coates kicked him to the curb and divorced him for a hefty $30 million.

Following his divorce, he and Goldberg remained together for some time and were friends for the next 18 months before they stopped being in touch.

Discussing their break-up, she confessed to Closer magazine, “It was really painful, and it was very public. And the loss of his friendship hurts a great deal. We can never go and have a soda, anywhere.” She further said, “I’m friends with almost every man I’ve gone out with, except this man.”

Goldberg says she’s not good at relationships. “I wish I was, but I’m not. I gave my child all the time and money that I had, now I want it for me,” during a 2009 interview with The Guardian.

“The only way I could be married to anyone ever again is if they lived in another country,” Whoopi said. “They could come and visit, it would be like, ‘Oh, my goodness, I haven’t seen you in so long. Come here!’”

Nowadays, Goldberg enjoys her life in the company of her cat, Oliver.

She is accredited as a truly unique and visible talent in Hollywood. We only wish her success in the years to come.

Royal fans all say the same thing about detail in new Prince Louis picture

By

When it comes to the British royal family, it’s all about tradition. There are plenty of rules which date back centuries, and although most of them seemed quite reasonable back in the day, they are found rather awkward nowadays. Well, despite that, royals still follow them strictly.

One of those rules is related to the way they dress. From gloves, to military uniforms, and skirts instead of jeans, to tiaras and lavish jewelry, the outfits worn by the royals have fascinated many over the years.

We are certain everyone remembers late Queen Elizabeth’s rainbow coats and hats, which are there for a reason. According to Diana Mather, a scholar of English etiquette, wearing hats is a result of an old tradition prohibiting women from showing their hair.

Some of the things which are ‘forbidden’ is the colored nail polish and wearing jeans.

When it comes to the youngest members of the royal family, there is this rule which states that young boys are only allowed to wear shorts, no matter the weather conditions. If you wonder why, etiquette expert William Hanson has the answer. According to him, this tradition dates back to the 16th century.

“It’s a very English thing to dress a young boy in shorts,” he told Harper’s Bazaar. “Trousers are for older boys and men, whereas shorts on young boys is one of those silent class markers that we have in England.”

“Although times are slowly changing, a pair of trousers on a young boy is considered quite middle class – quite suburban. And no self-respecting aristo or royal would want to be considered suburban,” Hanson added.

Prince Louis celebrated his fourth Christmas together with his family.

He and his parents and siblings started the celebration at Norfolk and were looking to stay at Sandringham for Christmas but then travel to Berkshire to spend New Year’s Eve with Kate’s parents.

Prince William, Kate, the kids, King Charles and Camilla, the Queen Consort, among others, walked to church.

And although seeing them together was quite a pleasant sight, Prince Louis’ outfit raised a few eyebrows.

As mentioned above, being a young child, he is supposed to wear shorts, which he did. He donned a blue wool coat and purple shorts, but his legs were exposed to the chilly December weather.

This made many comment that the young prince was cold and could easily fall sick.

“Prince Louis looks adorable except for the shorts,” one person wrote on Twitter, as reported by The Sun. 

“Absolutely ridiculous to use such an outdated and classist style convention on a freezing day. People are sitting with blankets.”

Another person added: “Why is Louis wearing shorts on such a cold day?”

“Poor Prince Louis in the cold in lil shorts,” a third wrote.

This isn’t the first time, however, the royal children to feel uncomfortable because of their outfit.

During the Wimbledon men’s final, Prince George, who accompanied his father to the sporting event, was dressed in a blue suit and tie. Having in mind that the weather was quite hot, around 28C, George was feeling the heat.

At one particular moment, he could be heard telling his father, “[It’s] too hot,” to what William replied, “Oh you’re hot, are you? It’s very warm today […] It’ll be fine.”

People took to Twitter to comment on the matter, with one user writing, “Poor child having to wear a suit in this hot weather,” and another adding, “Why do they dress him in a suit and tie and in this heat. He’s a boy, not a grown up.”

What do you think of this tradition of young royals wearing shorts even in winter?

Beloved actor Kevin Costner is in our thoughts 

By

Without a doubt, Kevin Costner is one of the most prominent actors in Hollywood. With a career spanning many years and with a number of awards under his belt, including two Academy Awards, two Golden Globe Awards, a Primetime Emmy Award and two Screen Actors Guild Awards, he truly is a living legend.

At the start of his acting career, charming Kevin Costner only landed small roles, but as he always knew acting was his calling, he never stopped pursuing his dreams. After his first major breakthrough, the movie Silverado, 1985, critic Joe Leydon wrote in a review for The Moving Picture Show, “Costner, a relative newcomer, gives an ingratiating performance that should mark him for bigger and better things.” Well, he was so right, because soon after, the name Costner became known not only in the States, but worldwide, and he’s until this day one of the most successful actors there are.

His most recent work is the role of John Dutton in Yellowstone.

During an episode of the series, a fan spotted something unusual about Costner’s ear. In fact, part of it was missing. Once he tweeted about it, others came forward claiming they noticed the same thing and that left them worried for the actor’s health.

Some fans collected photos of the actor at a Field Of Dreams event and they spotted the same thing. A part of Costner’s ear was in deed missing.

Many speculated that he probably had ear cancer, but he never addressed the rumors.

One fan wrote, “I noticed your ear last year. I Googled it because I was worried. Couldn’t find anything. … I just hope you are alright.”

No one knows for sure what the truth behind Costner’s ear might be especially because newest photos show his ear is intact.

Whether he experienced issues remains a mystery. We truly hope he’s in great health.

We have all found ourselves in situations which require help from others. The truth is that there are obstacles we can’t overcome on our own and when we get a helping hand we realize that humanity is still alive and helps this world move around making it a better place.

The story a woman of Port Arthur, Texas, shared on Facebook recently gathered the attention of many all for the right reasons.

Unfortunately, she ran out of gas and found herself stranded on a busy road. A number of vehicles passed her by and honked at her, until the right people came to her rescue.

This is her story:

I just ran out of gas coming from my job at Savannah and 25th Street the light changed and the car stopped. I got out and started pushing my car nobody stopped to help me trucks passed by me. People had the nerve to blow their horn at me and they see me pushing this car. I don’t know where they came from but all of a sudden I had almost a platoon of army men they pushed my car literally from motiva Terminal Gate to the Citco station on Gulfway Drive.

Do you understand what I’m saying they pushed my car on their feet. When we got there I asked him can I please take your picture to let people know there are still young men in the world that will stop and offer their assistance to a woman in need. They said yes. At the gas station this man jumped out of his truck pulled $100 bill out of his wallet and offered it to them for them to go get themselves a meal.

They all said at the same time no sir we cannot accept that we were doing what we were raised to do. This same gentleman turned around and put gasoline in my car and told me keep the money that I had in my pocket. Man, when you are or child of God no matter what obstacles are placed in your way the Lord always has a ram in the bush. I thank each and everyone of you from the bottom of my heart…

This woman’s post has been shared thousands of times, and all for the right reasons.

Meghan Markle made an ‘inappropriate’ request that Queen Elizabeth ‘firmly denied’

By
Monica Pop
-

Available on YouTube, Megan and Harry documentary starts with a slideshow of photos of the Duke and Duchess taking a selfie, their wedding day, and separate photos of the two from the time they were young until this very day.

The video gathered over 1.9 million views in just 24 hours and everything indicates that something huge will be revealed in the documentary that will be released on Netflix.

Many believe that the timing for the trailer wasn’t the most suitable one because it overlaps with Kate and William’s visit of the States. The Prince and Princess of Wales are attending the Earthshot Prize Awards in Boston but there are no indications whether the brothers and their spouses saw each other.

So far, the royals didn’t comment on the series and it’s not known whether it would deepen the issues between the Sussexes and the rest of the family.

Most royal experts condemn the Sussexes for going public about the issues they have with the rest of the royal family, claiming these all-tell interviews during which accusations are brought are something Harry and Meghan should be ashamed of.

“Here it is, the day before Prince William and Catherine’s big royal event in the USA. Bitter Prince Harry and Meghan,” royal expert Richard Eden posted on Twitter.

“I’m appalled by the trailer for Prince Harry and Meghan’s Netflix reality show – and so are Prince William and Catherine’s inner circle,” he added.

On top of that, Harry’s memoir titled Spare is about to be released in a couple of days and it doesn’t come as a surprise that the wide public is eager to learn what the book contains.

The problems within the family started when Harry and Meghan decided to step down from their royal duties. But what preceded this decision is the Firm’s inability to provide help for Meghan when she opened up of her health state.

Harry spoke candidly earlier this year about the night Meghan opened up to him, revealing she had been harboring thoughts of suicide.

“The scariest thing for her was her clarity of thought,” he revealed, as per The Times.

“She hadn’t lost it, she wasn’t crazy, she wasn’t self-medicating be it through pills or through alcohol, she was absolutely sober. She was completely sane, yet in the quiet of night, these thoughts woke her up.

“The thing that stopped her from seeing it through was how unfair it would be on me after everything that had happened to my mum and to now be put into a position of losing another woman in my life, with a baby inside of her, our baby.”

According to the couple, they faced obstructions every step of the way and during an occasion, they made a request of the late Queen but she rejected it.

As per The Times, the Sussexes asked from the Queen to give them another property to live in, as Frogmore Cottage, which was given to them by the Queen wasn’t their first choice. The Queen, however, said no, according to the newspaper.

The magazine claimed that Harry and Meghan were keen to live within Windsor Castle itself, and went as far as to ask Queen Elizabeth if “living quarters could be made available after their marriage.”

Queen Elizabeth then “politely but firmly suggested” that they settle at Frogmore Castle instead.

“The cottage was a big deal. The Queen’s entrance into the gardens is right next to their cottage. It is essentially her back yard, her solitude, and her privacy,” royal expert Kate Nicholl’s cites the late socialite Lady Elizabeth Anson to have said.

“She was giving that up in gifting Harry and Meghan Frogmore Cottage. We all thought it was very big of her. She said, ‘I hope they’ll respect it.’”

This, however, if true, might be one of the reasons which led Harry and Meghan depart from the rest of the royals and settle in California.

Newlywed was killed by a man wielding a machete while working at a Dollar Tree

By
Monica Pop
-

22-year-old newlywed Keris Riebel lost her life in a brutal manner when a man with a machete entered the Dollar Tree store in Upper Sandusky, Ohio, where she worked and killed her.

According to authorities, the tragic incident took place at the shop at 1120 Wyandot Ave. around 4:25 p.m.

When police officers and an ambulance arrived at the scene, Riebel was pronounced dead.

The killer, later identified at 27-year-old Bethel Bekele was tracked down and arrested in the 100 block of South Fifth Street, where he was sitting in a parked automobile near the Wyandot County Sheriff’s Office. He was since charged with murder.

The reason behind the killing remains a mystery.

It is also not known whether the killer and the victim knew each other from before or she simply found herself in the wrong place at the wrong time.

The entire community is mourning the loss of the young woman who had married the love of her life just recently.

“It’s terrible to see something like this in Upper Sandusky, because it’s such a wonderful place,” one of the residents of the neighborhood said.

During these difficult times for the family and Riebel’s husband, who has taken some time off of work to grieve, the victim’s aunt started a GoFundMe page to help with the funeral expenses.

Riebel was a Bachelor of Science in Human Resources and had many plans. She and her husband had just started their life together and were looking forward to getting a pet and starting a family, but that was all taken away from them in the blink of an eye.

Riebel was described as a “wonderful spirit with a faith-filled heart” by Wynford Local Schools, where she graduated in 2019. She always had a beautiful smile on her face and radiated joy and optimism. Truly one of a kind.

“The death of such a brilliant and promising young woman is extremely tragic, and our hearts go out to her husband, family, and loved ones during this difficult time,” the GoFundMe states.

Rest in peace beautiful soul. We hope the justice would be served and the killer would get what he deserves, many years behind bars.
