Sports matches between rivals don’t always end up peacefully. The loyal fans who cheer their teams tend to fight and argue over the game, but luckily, that’s not always the case. Some fans respect those who support the other team or national representation, just like the Canadian guys from the video below.
During a match between two teams, one from the U.S. and the other one from Canada, the mic stopped working shortly after the performer started singing the American national. But then, something truly incredible happened. The Canadians continued singing in one voice. It truly was a moment to remember which reminded us how lucky we are to have this country and its people as our neighbors.

The video of the Toronto Maple Leafs fans stepping in and cherishing our anthem has been seen more than 7.8 million times and it gives us goosebumps every time we watch it. Yes, this is one of those videos that you go back to every now and then.
People couldn’t help by comment, with many of them saying that this was the ultimate form of respect.
“American Veteran here. Our Canadian brothers and sisters are a very kind and loyal people. I will bare arms to protect and defend,” one person wrote. Another added, “I’m an American— I know all the words to “O Canada” and sing it just as loudly as I do my own anthem. ☺️ Thank you, Canada, for being such an awesome neighbor!! ❤️”
This is definitely a must watch. Check the incredibly touching moment in the video below.
Traveling with young kids can be exhausting and many times troubling because you never know how they would react and whether they will keep quiet or disturb other passengers.
A mom of two named Sonja Redding was flying from Washington, D.C. to Atlanta, but one of her kids, Xayvior, who has autism, misbehaved. She couldn’t calm him down, and just as she thought things would become even worse, a flight attendant named Amanda Amburgy, decided to offer help.

She asked Sonja if she would allow her to take Xayvior in her arms. Sonja agreed and Amanda did wonders. Not only she managed to calm the boy down, but she made him smile too. At the end, she even got a few kisses from sweet Xayvior.

This story was shared online by a woman named Joan McCartney for the purpose of inspiring people to do kindness and step in for those in need.
While she was at the grocery store, she heard a loud crash. As she went to see what happened, Joan noticed an elderly lady kneeling on the floor, picking up the pieces of the dishes she accidentally broke. However, what Joan found really shocking was that no one of the customers tried helping the lady. They were just looking at her and waited to see what would happen, except for Joan.

The lady’s husband was also standing next to his wife and could be heard saying: “Now we’ll have to pay for all of them.”
But then, something very beautiful happened. The store’s manager noticed the lady and told her not to worry about the dishes she broke. He assured her that the store’s insurance would cover it. He then saw that her hand was bleeding and told her to go to the hospital instead of picking up the pieces.

Along with the story, Joan wrote: “Collect the pieces of your broken heart from all the blows life has thrown at you. God will heal all your wounds, and I assure you that your sins and mistakes will be forgiven.”
Shocking details about the death of the 6-year-old boy James Robert Hutchinson who was reported missing but was later found dead emerged. His mother, 29-year-old Brittany Gosney, went to the police to report that her son was nowhere to be found, but confessed to murdering him a few days later. The police were certain there was more to the story and managed to force her confess to the horrific crime she had committed.

Apparently, Brittany was pressured to get rid of her kids by her 42-year-old boyfriend James Russell Hamilton. According to an investigation report, the cruel mother planned on abandoning her three kids at the Preble County wildlife area, but little Hutchinson tried getting inside the car, and it was then that his mother ran over him.
“Brittany slammed the gas trying to leave the kids and drug [sic] Hutchinson possibly running him over. Brittany turned the vehicle around to check on Hutchinson and he was dead. Brittany then loaded the 2 live children and Hutchinson back into the vehicle and returned to her and Hamilton’s residence,” according to The Daily Beast.
The boy’s siblings witnessed their brother being killed.

In the morning of February 28, a day after the murder took place, Brittany and her boyfriend “drove the Dodge Caravan to the bridge that goes over the Ohio River and threw Hutchinson’s body into the water below,” according to the sheriff’s report. She reported her son missing that same day.
Brittany has been charged with murder, abuse of a corpse, and tampering with evidence. Her bail has been set for $1 million. Her boyfriend has been charged with abuse of a corpse and tampering with evidence, with a bail set at $105,000.

Modern times impose modern styles in dancing, music, and art in general. But it always warms my heart when I see parents teaching their little ones about the traditional forms of different types of art. Because it’s the tradition which made us who we are today, right?
Little Oscar was just four years old when he took the stage of a dancing competition and made everyone go “aww.” He tapped to the rhythm of the traditional Irish music and stole everyone’s heart. How could such a wee boy perfect this style to this extent, people wondered. With a hard work, we guess, but also with an innate talent.

Not only he mastered his routine to magnificence, but he added some unique twists and spins which made the whole thing even better to watch.
People couldn’t help but comment on Oscar’s video. One person wrote, “This made me really cry! He’s so beautiful, I completely lost it!” while another added, “When a 4 year old is a better dance than you will ever be.”
Oscar’s routine was described as amazing, unique, awesome and inspiring.
Check out the video of him performing below. His understanding of timing and rhythm is truly mesmerizing!
Who doesn’t love watching and practicing some good dancing? Moving your body in the rhythm of the music can feel liberating. But guess what? This isn’t only true for humans, but animals as well. And now, if you think you’ve seen some great animal dancers before, wait until you see these two horses joining in a salsa dance class.
The video that is making people from all over the world laugh was taken in The Hague, The Netherlands while dance instructor Fiek Vanderharst was having a demo lesson at the Zuiderpark park with the students.
Among the rest of the onlookers who found the dancing fun and enjoyable to watch were two officers on horseback who were patrolling the area at the time.
“Last night I did a salsa lesson in the Zuiderpark The Hague,” Vanderharst wrote on Facebook. “Two police officers on horse came by and decided to join a dance! Great and what an enthusiasm.”
Believe it or not, the officers, but especially the horses, loved the music and soon danced together with the group.
The cute video was taken by one of the bystanders, Bob Bogaard, and turned into a huge Internet hit. Of course, this doesn’t really come as a surprise because we don’t get to see horses practicing salsa every day, or ever.

The video was later shared on Vanderharst’s page and on the Dutch journalist Martijn Mastenbroek’s Twitter account and ended up on Reddit.
Some of the people who have seen it weren’t really fond of the officers having fun around, especially with all the protest against police brutality taking place all over the States and other countries, but not all officers are the same, right?
One user explained how the horses got into the rhythm so well writing, “These horses are dressage horses! They’re trained to do this, and probably think this is a blast….my old trainer helped start Dutch police horses, and they start them (according to her) in dressage. The basics, like leg yields, backing up, etc.” So it looks like not any random horse can pull such moves after all.

Vanderharst enjoyed the attention and was glad millions of people have seen and loved her video. She took to Facebook to thank everyone, writing, “One week ago I posted a video of me and my friends to which we danced salsa, with company of two police officers on horseback. A special and unique situation, which especially gave and radiated lots of fun. A positive vibe, in this (still) weird time. I asked y’all to share the video and this was done massively. Now we are one week further and the video has continued all of Europe and even out there like America. Multiple media platforms were interested in this video. Bizarre and incredibly amazing. I want to thank you for sharing, because of you this video went viral. Without you, this wouldn’t be possible!”

The video of these dancing horses is something you don’t want to miss. Don’t forget to share it with your friends.
Some support them, other call them attention seekers, but no matter how you feel about them, chances are you do have an opinion about everything that is going on with Prince Harry and Meghan Markle.
During their bombshell interview with Oprah Winfrey, the Sussex Royals revealed many shocking details that preceded and followed their stepping down from the royal duties. Initially, their plan was to split their time between U.K. and U.S. but shortly after, they announced they wanted to be financially independent.
The revelations from Harry and Meghan’s interview:
• Meghan had suicidal thoughts after joining royal family • Within royal family, there were concerns “about how dark (Archie’s) skin might be,” couple says • The couple are expecting a girl in summer https://t.co/NAuEELXFP6
U.K. media, as well as many influential international magazines, have slammed their decision to split from the royal family, but both Harry and Meghan believed it was the best thing to do when it came to their family. During the recent interview that caused a stir on the social media, Harry once again defended their decision to move from Britain because he didn’t want “history repeating itself,” referring to his late mother.

At the time of making and announcing their decision to leave the royal life behind, the Queen released a statement which read: “Today my family had very constructive discussions on the future of my grandson and his family.”
“My family and I are entirely supportive of Harry and Meghan’s desire to create a new life as a young family,” she continued. “Although we would have preferred them to remain full-time working Members of the Royal Family, we respect and understand their wish to live a more independent life as a family while remaining a valued part of my family.”
Duchess Meghan says speaking for herself is ‘liberating.’ Are you watching? Here’s what to expect from tonight’s Oprah interview with Meghan & Harry: https://t.co/ijgsssC1bO
During the past period, Harry and Meghan didn’t speak of their private life much, neither they tried justifying any of their decisions, but once they confirmed in February of this year that they are not getting back to their royal duties, they felt free to give an interview.
Among the rest, Meghan said how she and Harry married three days prior to their royal wedding which was broadcasted and watched by millions of people.

“You know, three days before our wedding, we got married,” Markle told Oprah. “No one knows that. But we called the archbishop, and we just said, ‘Look, this spectacle is for the world, but we want our union between us.’”
“The vows that we have framed in our room are just the two of us in our backyard with the archbishop of Canterbury.”
Harry commented on his wife’s revelation, saying: “Just the three of us.”
Oprah: “Any regrets?”
Prince Harry: “No. I mean, no, I think we’ve done– I’m really proud of us, you know?”
Meghan: “I have one. My regret is believing them when they said I would be protected. I believed that.” pic.twitter.com/Cxlxx9F2O2
Many accused the couple of lying, as according to the law, there have to be witnesses for the marriage to take place. But as it turns out, they didn’t really get married prior to the ceremony the world witnessed, they only exchanged their vows. That is the best explanation the public came to after the interview.

Among the rest, the couple revealed how there were conversations at the Palace about how dark the skin of their baby would be, thus “bringing out” the question about racism in the Royal family.
What are your thoughts on Harry and Meghan’s interview?
They say actions speak louder than words, so judging from the huge number of deeds of kindness he is doing for people in need, especially injured veterans, actor Gary Sinise is definitely on the top of the list of people who are making a change and help move this world forward.
Since he has started the Gary Sinise Foundation, the Forrest Gump star helped build over 70 small adapted homes for veterans.
The description of his foundation says: “At the Gary Sinise Foundation, we serve our nation by honoring our defenders, veterans, first responders, their families, and those in need.We do this by creating and supporting unique programs designed to entertain, educate, inspire, strengthen, and build communities.”
“He protected our freedom, and this is our way to say thank you.” Marine Josue Barron lost his leg following an IED explosion in Afghanistan. The Temecula veteran now has a 100% mortgage-free and fully accessible home, thanks to the Gary Sinise Foundation https://t.co/Km92WPKXx2
Josue Barron is one of the Marines who received an adapted home. Barron, who is now a father of three, joined the Marine Corps when he was only 17 years old.
Speaking to ABC7 News, this brave young man said: “I didn’t have a dad, so the Marine Corps became my father. There was discipline, so I feel like it became that role model that I needed to become who I wanted to become.”
He was passionate about his job and was proud of serving his country and his people, but then, a tragedy took place. During his deployment in Afghanistan, an IED exploded and Barron lost his left leg and his left eye.
“I knew exactly what I was getting myself into. I knew what I wanted. One thing I didn’t know was, I didn’t expect to lose a limb,” he told ABC 7.
Walking with a prosthetic leg is causing Barron pain. He is always looking forward to sit in his wheelchair and relax after a day out.

He says that his wife and his mother, two strong women he can always count on, help him every step of the way. And now, Sinise is stepping in by giving Barron a home.
The veteran got a call from the actor himself when he was delivered the news.
Elizabeth Fields, CEO of the Gary Sinise Foundation said: “Living in a house that is not accessible to you, you’re challenged every single day to do the daily activities that normal people do.
“Just being able to roll into the shower without jumping any obstacles, to be able to come home and have the whole house accessible to my wheelchair and me, it’s definitely going to change my life.”
“They’re a lovely family, so deserving, he protected our freedom, and this is our way to say thank you.”
Next month, retired Marine Josue Barron and his family will move into a R.I.S.E. specially adapted smart home. It culminates the direction he’s taken his life since an IED derailed it nearly 11 years ago. A journey that’s always been about purpose. https://t.co/gSMZPGsit4pic.twitter.com/YhLeEwf3NC
We can never thank Gary Sinise enough for everything he is doing for our veterans. As for Barron and his family, we are very glad they were chosen to get the new adapted home they needed so much.
