Aaron Beck from Virginia was described as a loving father. His 18-month-old son menat the world to him. But one day, a tragedy struck. Something no one who knew Aaron could thought can ever happen.
During a hot day, when the temperatures were pretty high, Aaron somehow forgot his son inside the very hot car. No one knew exactly how much time had passed until Aaron realized his mistake. Unfortunately, it was too late. The damage was done. His sweet son was dead.
Not able to cope with the pain, Aaron took his own life that same day.
When police officers arrived at Aaron’s home, they noticed that the door of his car was wide open and the child’s seat was empty. Inside the house, they found the boy’s lifeless body. The body of Aaron was located in the woods behind the house.
Aaron’s family and friends spoke of him as of “generous, gentle, kind, and soft with his son. He was a draughtsman by trade. His unconditional affection was a tribute to the potential of parenting and the human heart.”
The GoFundMe page set to help the family during those times of grief said: “Tuesday morning, a father and child were suddenly taken from my dear friend in a tragedy. This cannot be thoroughly planned, even while some expenses are covered. To relieve some of her financial strain, this GoFundMe has been established. I sincerely appreciate your support during this unfathomable loss.”
Chesterfield County Officer Chris Hensley offered his condolences and said, “This is a horrific tragedy on so many levels, and our hearts go out to the family and friends who will have to deal with this.”
This is such a tragic story. Please SHARE it with your family and friends to remind them of the tragic consequences of leaving an unattended child inside a hot vehicle.
Imagine what life would be like if dogs could speak our language. Awesome, I guess. But the thing is that even though they don’t use actual words, these four-legged animals are incredible communicators who can easily show the love they have for their humans.
Over time, they do learn the meaning of certain words, such as walk, the park, and din dins, and they act accordingly. It’s not unusual for a dog to jump and rush towards the door once they hear the work walkie. They get excited right a way and can’t wait to leave the house.
Well, the same happens when they hear words they are not fond of, such as ‘the vet,’ but this time, they get anxious and unwilling to get out of bed instead.
So why don’t dogs love the vet visits at all? The truth is that those experiences are often pretty unpleasant. From getting poked and prodded by needles, to having their claws clipped away, they simply hate it being exposed to such things. Another thing dogs probably find discomforting is the fact that the vet’s office is always crowded with different animals that are as anxious and a lot of different smiles that can easily trigger a sensory overload.
A German Shepherd named Enzo was looking forward to a fun time with his human parents. During the ride, he was in a good mood, but that was until he recognized a familiar route, the one to the vet’s. Once at the parking place, he became completely aware he wasn’t going to have the fun he expected.
His reaction is priceless and we are glad it was caught on tape.
The disappointment that comes with the fact that he was tricked could be seen by his movements. He just goes from one window to another as though he can’t believe where his parents took him.
The video below is definitely a must watch. Poor Enzo, we truly hope his time at the vet’s wasn’t as bad as he thought it would be.
The Black Sabbath singer Ozzy Osbourne has experienced quite a hard time during the last years when it came to his health. Ever since his quad-bike accident in 2003, everything went downfall for the famous musician. Later, in 2019, he suffered yet another life-threatening fall when he fell in his bathroom and dislodged metal screws in his spine.
“I went to the bathroom in the middle of the night, lost my balance, and landed flat on my face,” Ozzy explained.
“When I fell to the ground, I noticed a large white flash and said to myself, ‘you’ve finally accomplished it now.’
“I knew it was serious, and I thought I was paralyzed; thus, I remarked very gently to Sharon, ‘Sharon, I can’t move.’ It appears that I’ve broken my neck. Dial 9-1-1 for an ambulance.”
Recently, his wife Sharon Osbourne revealed that the musician is about to undergo yet another surgery that will likely “determine the rest of his life,” but didn’t share any details.
Back in the day, when Ozzy was an active drug user, he had undergone a surgery and the doctor was forced to apply four times the normal dose of anesthetic. The doctor was stunned and allegedly asked the singer why wasn’t he asleep. “I had a method while I was doing all of this s***,” Ozzy said in an interview with the radio station Sirius XM, referring to the anaesthetic incident. The doctor then gave him what is known as “two full syringes,” in order to put him to sleep for the procedure.
Ozzy broke his bad habits some years ago but he still experienced run-ins with relapse.
He recently revealed that he once bought $600 worth of cannabis at one of California’s legal weed shops. Eventually, he didn’t use it, but it was a close call.
“I got it, and I thought, what the *** have I bought that for? Four ounces? I just got Covid, so there’s no point in my smoking anyway. I’d got one of those notions, which was something along the lines of ‘that would be good.’ But I never smoked one.”
Speaking of what helped him stay off substances, the musician revealed it was that he got honest with himself and had full support from his family.
We hope Ozzy Osbourne would manage to overcome every issue which stands on his way to perform and make music again.

The news of the passing of Ivana Trump, the first wife of former president Donald Trump, caught the world by storm. At the time of her passing, she was 73 years old. Ivana was the mother of three of Donald Trump’s children, Donald Trump Jr., Ivanka, and Eric.
At the moment, neither the Trump family statement nor the post put out by Donald Trump himself has mentioned Ivana’s cause of death.
The former president shared the news of his ex-wife’s passing on the social media platform Truth Social where he wrote: “I am very saddened to inform all of those that loved her, of which there are many, that Ivana Trump has passed away at her home in New York City.”
Her children, who are devastated and in deep mourning over the loss of their mother remember her as an “incredible woman – a force in business, a world-class athlete, a radiant beauty and caring mother and friend.”
Their family statement read: “It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of our beloved mother, Ivana Trump. She fled from communism and embraced this country.
“She taught her children about grit and toughness, compassion and determination. She will be dearly missed by her mother, her three children, and ten grandchildren.”

What is known of Ivana Trump’s sudden passing comes from The Fire Department of New York. According to Reuters, first responders answered a call about cardiac arrest at an “aided individual” at about 12.40. p.m. When they arrived at Ivana’s apartment, they found a “73-year-old female unconscious and unresponsive.”
Although the exact cause of death hasn’t been revealed, the New York Police Department said there did not “appear to be any criminality” related to her death.
Ivana Trump was considered to be a very important and influential person in Trump’s life as she’s credited with helping him build his empire.
Ivana was born on February 20, 1949 in Gottwaldov, today’s Zlin, Czechoslovakia, today’s Czech Republic.
As a child, she had it all. Her father Milos was very strict, but he taught his daughter to be disciplined. Ivana was very good at athletics and learned how to ski when she was around three years old. Some of her former classmates describe her as a very bright and intelligent woman who excelled at school.
Her beauty helped her get into the modeling industry and work with some of the most famous names in the world of fashion at the time after finding her way out of Communist-controlled Czechoslovakia.

Once in Canada, Ivana met and later married Austrian skier Alfred Winklmayr. The two stayed together for two years, and then in 1976, Ivana went to New York at a fashion show and that’s when her love story with the former president Trump began.
In her memoir, Ivana wrote how she and some friends were at Maxwell’s Plum, described by a 1988 The New York Times article as “a flamboyant restaurant and singles bar that, more than any place of its kind, symbolized two social revolutions of the 1960s – sex and food.”
Getting a table there wasn’t easy, and as Ivana was waiting, this tall man with blue eyes tapped her on the shoulder, introduced himself as Donald Trump, and told her he will arrange a table for her. “I look at my friends and said, ‘The good news is, we’re going to get a table real fast. The bad news is, this guy is going to be sitting with us,’” she said in an interview with the NY Post.
After the dinner, Donald paid the bill and left the place. Once she was out, Ivana noticed him waiting for her in his limousine, and that’s how they started dating. At the time, Donald was the richest and most influential mogul who had just inherited his father’s empire and business.

Shortly after, Donald and Ivana tied the knot. First, their son Donald Trump Jr.was born, and then they welcomed their daughter Ivanka and son Eric.
After 14 years of marriage, the two divorced, and at the time, all eyes were on them. Ivana received $25 million and custody over her kids. Speaking of Donald, she always praised him of being the father every child could ask for. Although strict and unconventional, Donald was devoted and his children love him and support him.
“Donald might not have been the greatest husband to me, but he was a good father to the kids,” Ivana wrote. “Obviously, they adore him and are fiercely loyal to him. If he were a horrible dad, that would not be the case. If Donald wants to write a book about fatherhood, I would be happy to read it.

“I believe the credit for raising such great kids belongs to me. I was in charge of raising our children before our divorce, and I had sole custody of them after the split,” she wrote in her memoir Raising Trump. “When each one finished college, I said to my ex-husband, “Here is the finished product. Now it’s your turn.”
After Donald, Ivana was married twice. Both times with men younger than her.
Rest in peace, Ivana Trump.

The number of pets who suffer from heat stroke because their careless owners leave them inside a hot car during high temperatures is way higher than we can ever imagine. Our pets should be considered part of our family and we should treat them with utmost respect, which isn’t always the case.
So, how would you react if you notice an animal locked inside a car during the hot summer with no windows cracked and no owner anywhere around?
A man from Canada named Mark Lewis stumbled upon such a devastating sight on June 11th. He spotted a black BMW with a black interior in direct sunlight, and then he noticed a dog inside the car. The temperature was ninety degrees, and he didn’t even want to imagine how hot the car was inside.

As it was obvious that the poor animal was overheated, Lewis tried breaking a window. Other people joined him in his heroic attempt to save the dog from experiencing a heat stroke. One of the residents of the neighborhood where the car was parked said that the car’s owner was away for over 50 minutes and failed to return despite the announcement that was made.
Lewis knew he needed to act as quickly as possible so he found a big rock and started hitting the car’s window until it broke. Luckily, the dog, Cotton, was finally released. Sadly, it was quite lethargic and drenched in sweat.
“You really have to use your best judgement and on that particular day, the owners of this dog in this car, did not use their best judgement,” lewis said of the careless owners.

Both the owner and police officers arrived at the scene some 50 minutes after Cotton was saved and who knows what would have happened to the poor dog if Lewis didn’t do what he did.
At the moment, the Ontario Provincial Police are conducting an ongoing investigation with the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals and Huron County Human Society, as reported by Today.
If found guilty of animal neglect and putting their life in danger, dog owners, like Cotton’s, face a maximum $10,000 fine or imprisonment from 1.5 to 5 years.

The video of Cotton’s rescue was shared online, and as expected, Lewis received all the praise for his act.

“Reservoir Dogs” and “Kill Bill” star Michael Madsen addressed the death of his son Hudson, who died of a gunshot wound to the head in what was reported a suspected suicide, in January 2022, according to the City and County of Honolulu Dept. of the Medical Examiner.
At the time of his passing, Hudson was 26.
The family confirmed the news in a statement to Metro which read: “We are heartbroken and overwhelmed with grief and pain at the loss of Hudson. His memory and light will be remembered by all who knew and loved him. We ask for privacy and respect during this difficult time.”
At the time, they didn’t make any additional comments as they asked from the media to respect their privacy.
Later, Madsen opened up about his son’s passing through a statement released by The Los Angeles Times.
“I am in shock as my son, whom I just spoke with a few days ago, said he was happy — my last text from him was ‘I love you dad,'” the 64-year-old actor said.
“I didn’t see any signs of depression. It’s so tragic and sad. I’m just trying to make sense of everything and understand what happened,” he continued. “He had typical life challenges that people have with finances, but he wanted a family. He was looking towards his future, so it’s mind blowing. I just can’t grasp what happened.”
Madsen, however, is said to believe that his son was facing struggles after he joined the army because he was mocked after he asked for therapy for his mental issues. Hudson had one deployment to Afghanistan from August 2018 to January 2019 while stationed at Fort Carson, Colorado.
Hudson was married to wife Carlie and according to their social media, the two lived in Hawaii. According to Madse, his late son’s marriage “was going strong.”
We are very sorry for the loss. Rest in peace, Hudson.

Unlike what many people think, the truth is that police officers don’t have it easy. Their job is stressful and demanding as they make sure communities stay safe and sound.
We have witnessed many times before how some of these people are true angels in disguise who have hearts of gold under their fierce looks and muscular bodies. One would say that it is part of their job to protect and serve people, but many times, they go the extra mile.
Sergeant Randy Harkness from Dawson County, Georgia, spotted a homeless man begging for money at the corner of the street. He felt sorry and decided to give the man a ride to the nearest gas station in order to give him some money.
However, once the homeless man entered the police vehicle, he started attacking Harkness. He started hitting him and scratching his face. As Harkness didn’t expect his good deed to be answered back by such behavior, he was left in complete shock. The man injured the sergeant’s face and wasn’t about to stop being extremely violent.
Luckily, a bystander noticed the attack and decided to act. She was legally carrying a firearm and rushed towards the sergeant. She then fired a shot and that’s when the homeless man started running. The woman then fired another shot which hit the suspect.
Sgt. Harkness was glad that a member of his community stepped in for him and wasn’t afraid to risk her life in order to help him.
The Dawson County Sheriff hailed the woman a hero.
“I TRULY BELIEVE THAT SHE’S A HERO,” SHERIFF JEFF JOHNSON TOLD FOX 5 ATLANTA. “I BELIEVE THAT SHE POTENTIALLY SAVED THIS OFFICER’S LIFE. WE DON’T KNOW HOW FAR THE SUSPECT WOULD HAVE WENT WITH THE ASSAULT.”
As she acted in order to help an officer in need, the woman is unlikely to be charged with using firearm, but the incident is still under investigation.
After she decided to act, other bystanders joined her in in protecting Sgt. Harkness.

A tragedy struck on Tuesday of last week after a six-year-old boy was bitten by a rattlesnake during a bike ride with his father and sister at Bluestem Prairie Open Space.
The child, Simon Currat, from Security-Widefield, Colorado, was enjoying the day with his family, not assuming his life would end just a few days later.
During the ride, the family stopped to have a water break and Simon rushed ahead of his father and sister to look at a mile marker sign, as reported by Derek Chambers, Battalion Chief of the Security Fire Department.

In the next moment, Simon’s father heard his son yell “rattlesnake.” The father sprung into action and rushed towards Simon, took him in his arms, and started running towards the nearest neighborhood. The neighbors at the area immediately called 911, and per reports, the neighbor who alerted the first responders said that it didn’t take them more than five minutes to arrive after the call was made.
At that moment, Simon had not yet gone into cardiac arrest, which was a good sign.
Chambers called Lifeline for a helicopter that transported Simon to a local hospital, from where he was rushed to Children’s Hospital in Aurora. Unfortunately, despite the immediate help and treatments he received, Simon died on July 9.
Michelle Johnson of Calvary Worship Center in Colorado Springs, where the boy’s family attends church, spoke of Simon and said he was “full of life and he just loved the Lord. So as individuals who believe in Jesus Christ, we know that he’s with God and there’s great joy in that.” Simon was a passionate learner in Sunday School.
Rest in peace, Simon.
