The story of J.J Vallow and his sister Tylee Ryan who went missing under suspicious circumstances raised a lot of red flags. The whole country had their eyes on the outcome and was praying for the siblings to be found safe and sound.
What raised a few eyebrows is the fact that the mother of the children got rid of her autistic son’s service dog just days before he disappeared. Until then, Bailey the Goldendoodle was by 7-year-old J.J’s side every single day and helped him with his everyday tasks and struggles.
When the dog’s trainer, Neal Mestas, got a call from Lori Vallow who told him how she wanted him to take her son’s dog back, he was puzzled. He knew Bailey and J.J got along perfectly, and this came as a surprise to him and later to the authorities who were working on the missing children’s case.
What was very peculiar was that the mother, Lori, found a new husband whom she moved to Hawaii with while her children were still nowhere to be found. Her new husband’s wife died just thirteen days before the two married. The children disappeared mere weeks after she moved with them from Arizona to Idaho in 2019.
After she failed to produce her kids, Lori was extradited to Idaho and Chad was arrested later in 2020 after the bodies of J.J and Tylee were discovered on his property.
Lori Vallow Daybell is in custody in Idaho alongside her husband Chad Daybell where they are both facing charges in the deaths of her children. They are also facing additional charges that connect them to the deaths of their former spouses. Both pleaded not guilty in Idaho.
The prosecutors is asking for a joint trial for them. Lori also underwent a mental health evaluation.
The trial might be delayed until January 2023 and they may be facing death penalty.
Rest in peace J.J and Tylee. We all pray for the justice to be served.

Bernie and Diane are the kind of people who restore our faith in humanity. Their incredible life story is both touching and inspiring as they remind us that the love we are willing to give can mean the world to those that are waiting to embrace it with arms wide open.
The couple has five boys who are now all grown up, so they decided to open the doors to their heart and home to a child in need of a family. So, they attended an adoption event. There, Diane’s attention was caught by a photo of a girl with dark eyes pinned to a bulletin board. Speaking of the time she had seen that photo, Diane recalls how she somehow knew that child was meant to be their daughter.
The Girl In The Window. Policeman Mark Holste from Florida, USA will never forgot the call he received on July 13th, 2005. A man reported seeing a mysterious, pale little girl in the window of his neighbour’s house.
However, once they showed interest in learning more about the girl, the caseworkers told them they should explore other options. But this didn’t stop this couple from their intention to get to know that girl better.
After insisting, one of the caseworkers explained how the girl, whose name was Danielle, was a subject of severe neglect and abuse while growing up. Until the age of seven, Danielle had never seen the sun or the sky. She spent those first years of her life locked in her mom’s Florida house. She couldn’t eat solid food or speak. Danielle slept on a soiled mattress.
When her case was revealed to the public back in 2007, people were shocked. Danielle’s mom lost parental rights and the girl was transferred to a group home.
Detective Mark Holste remembers the time he and his coworkers found Danielle. “I’ve been in law enforcement for 27 years now, and this is by far, bar none, the worst case of child neglect I’ve ever come across in my career,” he said of the case.
Bernie and Diane now knew all about the girl, but that didn’t stop them from adopting her. In fact, it made them love her even more. With the attention and the devotion they have given her, Danielle was able to overcome some of her behavioral and developmental issues.
They knew it wasn’t going to be easy, but they also knew behind the confusion and the stress, there was a little person inside, and she was reachable.
The progress Danielle was able to make with the support and the encouragement of her adoptive parents stunned the whole country. The three of them made us believe that miracles do happen, all we need is a little TLC.

Emma is a very exceptional dog. Her family adopted her from SNARR, an animal rescue center for dogs with special needs. She is paralyzed from the back down and can’t move her hind legs, but that doesn’t stop her from thriving. She knows she is surrounded by people who love her to the moon and back and would do anything to facilitate her moving.
Although she is lucky to be living with her humans, there is one special person whom she loves a bit more than the rest of the family members. That’s her daddy who is an airman and spends time abroad every now and then. This time he was deployed for six months, and that’s how long Emma hasn’t seen him. However, it was now time for him to get back home and guess who welcomed him at the door?
Emma is so excited and overwhelmed that she started crawling towards him, eagerly waiting to give him a kiss.
The video of the reunion is so touching that you can’t possibly watch it without shedding some tears.
We have never seen anything more precious than this.

This photo of a young boy was doing the rounds on Facebook, then very quickly got a huge amount of attention. The image, which was presumably taken inside a Walmart store, was shared thousands of times!
On his trip to Walmart with his mother, the boy went off by himself. When she found him just a short while after, she was ready to be cross with him for wandering off until she saw what he was doing!

“I had to run into Walmart. I turned around to make sure my son was next to me,” the caption of the photo which was initially shared by a Christian music station based in East Texas, 85.9 KVNE read.

When the mom found him, her son was kneeling at one of the benches towards the front of the store. Above the boy’s head was a poster which read: “Every second counts”
The caption continued:
“Instead of finding him by my side I found him kneeling in front of the missing children board praying.”
Ever since 1996, the retail chain Walmart and the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC) have partnered to reunite missing children with their families. One of the ways they do it is by placing boards with photos of missing children.
“We know that 134 children were recovered after callers to 1-800-THE LOST specifically stated they recognized a child’s photo on a Wal-Mart or SAM’S CLUB board,” Ernie Allen, the president and CEO of NCMEC, said.
Facebook/kvneThe National Center for Missing and Exploited Children estimate that about 800,000 children are reported missing every year in the United States of America.

This very simple but powerful image went completely viral, everyone across the country just connected with the moment frozen in time by a photograph. Many of us just pass by those posters without taking a look, either because we don’t have the time or because we prefer to deny that they would ever be relevant to us. But this photo made a change and helped raise awareness, despite the fact that we don’t know if the story behind it is true.
One person on Facebook said something that really sums it up:
“Whether or not you believe in God really doesn’t matter. This was a child in Walmart who was thinking about others and doing the only thing he could to help. The world would be a better place if everyone followed his example.”

The iconic role of Dr. Frank-N-Furter in Rocky Horror Picture Show brought actor Tim Curry a worldwide fame. Over the years, this renowned actor and singer treated his audience with remarkable films and songs, but in 2012, his life changed after he suffered a stroke.
Born in Grappenhall, England, on April 19, 1946, Curry has always showed great love for music. Everyone who knew him well was certain he would achieve great things as a musician, and they were right, but what he conquered the world with has been his acting talent.

Curry attended the Kingswood School boarding school in Bath, and was destined for a life in show business. Later on, he attended Birmingham University. He graduated in 1968 with a combined degree in drama and theatre studies.
While studying in Birmingham, Curry shared a house with actor, screenwriter, and director Patrick Barlow. At the time, he was a major solo star.
“I remember being amazed by his extraordinary singing voice – it was just completely perfect, just something he was born with – it came ready-made,” Barlow told The Guardian.
“We would go to university parties and end up having a drink and whatever, and he would break out into song, this marvellous bluesy voice.”

Following his graduation, Curry and a couple of his friends moved to London to try their luck as performers. Once there, Curry auditioned for the production of the cult classic Hair. He did get a part but he nearly missed on performing because he needed to have some previous professional experience and an Equity card, which meant he needed to be a member of the Actors’ Equity Association. When asked if he had these two things, he lied about it and said yes. When the producers learned he tried to trick them, they could easily give him the axe, but they were so captivated by his presence and talent that they decided to sponsor him with union membership instead.
Everyone believed he would pursue a career in music and he was offered contracts, but he decided he wanted to do something else.
“I was offered things, recording contracts, offered to join groups. But as I thought about it, I got rather snippy. No, no, no, I decided, I want to be an actor,” he told Los Angeles Magazine.
“I treated Hair like a drama school. You were always able to rewrite your part. You built up your physical presence. And because everyone was competing for attention, you learned quite quickly to make your presence felt.”

This decision led to gigs with the Royal Shakespeare Company, the Glasgow Civic Repertory Company, and the Royal Court Theatre.
During this period, Curry was offered the role of the mad transvestite scientist Dr. Frank-N-Furter in The Rocky Horror Show musical. He was so great at it that he was offered the role when the musical got its Hollywood production.
“They asked me to audition for it, and I sang “Tutti Frutti,” which was appropriate, really. I started playing [Frank-N-Furter] as a German, then I saw the costume. It was quite diva,” he told Entertainment Weekly.
“I heard a woman on the bus one day saying, in this posh voice, ‘Are you looking at a new house when retiring or your place in the country?’ and I thought, ‘That’s it!’ Almost like the Queen. Well, it was a smash from the moment it opened. It was a tiny theater. There were only 60 seats. And then they brought it over to Los Angeles.”

Besides having a very fascinating career in film, he never entirely let go of his passion for music so he released three studio albums with A&M Records between 1978 and 1981. His hit Do The Rock reached No. 53 on the Billboard charts.
What followed were other cult roles in a number of films and series, including the role of infamous clown Pennywise in It (1990) and the professional pirate in Muppet Treasure Island.
Unfortunately, in 2012, Curry suffered a stroke. His family kept it a secret for some time, but the media learned of his health and it made headlines. As per reports, he had to undergo numerous physical and speech therapy.
“I’m doing well and I’m looking forward to it,” the 69-year-old actor told Los Angeles Magazine in 2015. “I’ve done a few benefits for the Actors Fund and I think it’s a marvelous organization. I hope not to have to use it.
“It’s not tough to maintain,” he added. “It is just part of my DNA.”

He spends his days doing what he loves, and that includes painting and gardening, among the rest. The garden on his property is exquisite.
“Since 2016 Tim has been appearing at Conventions to meet his fans and pose for photos and he continues to take part in private autograph signings each month,” his biography states.
“Tim has traveled extensively across the USA and Canada to make special guest appearances at large scale events such as Comic Con, MegaCon, GalaxyCon and Fan eXpo.”

From what we know, Tim Curry has never been married and doesn’t have children. He has a net worth of $14 million.
We are glad Curry is doing fine after the stoke and we wish he stays as optimistic as he is.

Dogs are those special creatures who make our lives a bit better and much more fun.
One stray dog from Thailand was dubbed a hero and was given a lifeguard collar. Hopefully, he will soon find the forever home he deserves.
One day, as this dog was walking around the streets hoping to find something to eat, he got near a trash can. There, among the garbage was a bundle. The dog probably heard a squeaky sound which probably resembled kitten meowing to him. The dog took the bundle in his mouth and left. No one knows how long he was carrying that bundle before he stopped in front of a house and started barking.
The people living in the house were disturbed by the loud noise and got outside. What they saw left them in complete shock. In the bundle the dog had next to him was a newborn baby that could barely breath. The woman called the ambulance and the little one was immediately taken to the hospital where he stayed in the intensive care unit.
Had it not been for this dog, the little baby could have certainly died.

A man named Stefan Shaw and his now ex-girlfriend Chelby were about to become parents for the first time. As any other couple, they couldn’t wait for the moment when they would take their child in their arms. Unfortunately, when Chelby was in the 20th week of pregnancy, the scans showed something devastating.
The fluid from the amniotic sag was gone and the baby had no kidneys. Stefan and Chelby were told that they wouldn’t be able to see their child enter this world alive and that broke their hearts.
However, despite the odds, their miracle baby Joseph was born seven weeks prematurely via a C-section.

Joseph didn’t only lack kidneys, but bowels and genitals as well. Despite all that, he was breathing. His legs were fused together and he resembled a mermaid.
“When I got to the hospital they said that from the waist down Joseph was like a fish,” Stefan said.
“I had never seen a baby like my son. He was like a mermaid, he was a unique, beautiful baby boy.”

Knowing Joseph wouldn’t make it, Stefan and Chelby wanted to give their bundle of joy “the best send-off possible,” so they organized for him to be christened at the Royal Derby Hospital.
During the ceremony, doctors had to pump air into Joseph to keep him alive.
Stefan, who is now homeless, explained how his son was in his arms when doctors took the tube off and he died peacefully.
“It was very heartbreaking and extremely hard to let go of something that meant the world to you,” the heartbroken father told Derbyshire Live.

Rest in peace, Joseph.

Every parents’ biggest wish is for their children to be healthy and experience a happy childhood.
When a couple, Karen Rodas and Paul Bybkin, welcomed their son Nathaniel into the world, their happiness only lasted for 36 hours because that’s how long the baby lived. He was born with a condition known as Polycistic Kidney Disease (PKD) which affects the kidneys and causes cysts to grow. Sadly, this often leads to kidney failure, and that’s exactly what happened to baby Nathaniel.
In 2013, the pair was blessed with a daughter, Maddy. Unfortunately, what these parents feared most happened. Maddy was born with the same condition as her late brother, and her mommy and daddy were heartbroken. The girl’s tummy was swollen so much that it looked like that of a 9-months pregnant woman.
This time, however, things took a turn for the better and Maddy was given a second chance for life all thanks to her daddy who gave her one of his kidneys.
Before this life-saving surgery took place, sweet Maddy spent most of her life in and out of the hospitals and would spend her days sleeping even up to 18 hours a day.
Doctors informed the family that the chances of Maddy being a normal kid depended on finding a suitable donor.
As luck would have it, daddy was a match!
“With Paul and Maddy, two of my most precious souls, going under the knife, my nerves were a wreck,” Karen said, according to The Mirror.
The surgery was a complete success and both Maddy and Paul recovered perfectly.
“Daddy’s kidney has saved our little girl,” Karen added. “Now, she has boundless energy. Her massive tummy now just looks a little bit rounded and she is a happy and healthy two-year-old.”
Paul, on the other hand, believes he only did what every father would do for their kid.
“We have been on a rollercoaster – but any father would have done what I did, donating my kidney to Maddy. It’s part of being a parent,” he said, according to The Mirror.
“Now we are on a high and can watch Maddy grow up as a happy and healthy little girl.”
She would probably need to undergo another transplant surgery in 25 years time, but until that moment comes, she’s got many years to enjoy and live her life to the fullest.
