Jack and Sam are two brothers who love one another unconditionally. However, after Jack became part of the British Army and later a guard at the Windsor Castle, he and Sam, who has Down syndrome, haven’t had a chance to see each other for almost a year. But it was all about to change when Jack invited Sam to check his workplace.

Sam knows just how important his younger brother’s job is and that he protects the Queen.

The moment Sam walks the castle’s ground, two members of the Guard, Lt. Bragger and Sgt. Baggot-Moore greet him. Seeing Sam going all smiles and getting excited puts a smile on their faces as well. At this point, everyone realizes this is going to be a reunion to remember. 

YouTube

As they approach the area where Jack is stationed, the guards explain to Sam that his brother won’t be able to speak to him until his shift is over. 

A sentry will be on duty “at their post” for a two-hour period. Every 10 minutes, he comes to attention, slopes arms and does a march of 15 paces across the area of the post. Each sentry will do this four to five times before halting. He will then shoulder arms and stand at ease. Standing “easy” is not permitted whilst a sentry is at post. Orders for sentry duty read out before each 2 hour ‘tour of duty’, make it clear to each individual that: “you may not eat, sleep, smoke, stand easy, sit or lie down during your tour of duty.”

The moment Sam spots his brother wearing a uniform, his excitements grows bigger, but he’s aware that Jack can’t give him a hug at this point, so he stands right next to him looking all proud. Jack maintains his stock-still appearance and is patiently waiting for his duty for the day to be over.

Finally, after taking a tour around this magnificent place built in the 11th century, Sam sees Jack without his uniform and embraces him with arms wide open. This is both sweet and emotional at the same time.

Take a look at the reunion in the video below. Heartwarming, indeed!

7-year-old girl pleads for help in neighbor’s door cam after stumbling upon a wild bobcat

An unlike encounter with a bobcat left a 7-year-old girl from Arizona in complete fear, but she managed to get herself out of the scary situation thanks to her quick-thinking reaction.

It all started when young Taylor was riding her bike around the neighborhood. She usually doesn’t go away from her home, but this time it was a bit different. She got carried away and found herself far from her home. Then, out of the blue, she spotted a bobcat. Needless to say, she got really scared and didn’t know what to do. Riding back home wasn’t really an option because she was already too far. Luckily, she spotted a familiar house, that of her friend Lauren.

Taylor ran to the porch, leaving her bike behind and rang the bell. When no one answered, she started knocking and asking whether anyone was home.

Lauren’s mom, Nicole, has a ring doorbell system and can see who’s at the door through her phone which rings when someone’s pressing the doorbell. She answered the phone and heard a shaking voice. Taylor explained how there was a bobcat in the neighborhood and pleaded to enter the place. Nicole told her to stay calm and wait as they were a minute away from home. “Stay right there sweetie, as soon as I get you in my house safe, I will call your mom,” Lauren’s said.

Moments later, Lauren parked her car and Taylor felt relieved knowing she was safe. Luckily, this all ended without anyone being hurt.

It seems that bobcats aren’t dangerous to humans, unless they have the rabies virus. But despite that, a girl that young stumbling upon one has to be a blood-curdling experience.

Viral video shows a man offering his pants to a homeless person

If you have roof over your head and food on your table, you are more fortunate than millions who struggle to make ends meet each and every day and to find a place to spend the night.

The thing is that most countries don’t do a lot for the homeless people who are sadly considered less valuable than those who have a home. But we somehow forget that the reasons why someone lives on the streets are various and many of these people are hardworking and even educated, but life was harsh to them.

A recent Tik Tok video which went viral in a matter of days shows how we should all treat the homeless and the vulnerable, and that’s by offering help.

A man named Daniel Richards and his wife Dominique were in for a late-night snack from McDonald’s when they spotted a man not wearing a pants and freezing at the parking lot. It was then that Daniel told Dominique he was going to take his off and give them to the man.

Speaking to the Inside Edition, Dominique said: “My husband just was like: I think I’m gonna go give him my pants. And I was like ‘you’re not gonna give him your pants, stop! We’ll just go home and we’ll go grab something and we’ll come back,’” but Daniel was afraid the man would no longer be there if they did what his wife suggested.

In the next moment, Daniel approached the man, whom those around said was always wearing exactly the same clothes, and offered to give him his. “I pointed to my pants and ‘if I were to give you my pants would you take them?’ and he said ‘absolutely I will take those pants.’ And I mean within a split second – I didn’t even hesitate – I just took off my pants,” Daniel told Inside Edition.

Thanks to the video Dominique shared, everyone witnessed Daniel’s good deed. It serves as an inspiration and as many praise Daniel, one person wrote, “Everyone [is] saying ‘we need more people like him’ and what we need is ‘to be like him.’”

Thank you Daniel, may God bless you.

The more the merrier they say, so I guess those expecting twins are the luckiest of us all. Not only because two, or even more bundles of joy are welcomed into the family but because the bond between twins is a bit more special than that of siblings who haven’t shared a womb at the same time.

Twins get to do things together and share precious moments each and every day, just like these two cuties who are 11-months-old.

YouTube

The two tiny sisters are having their lunch at their feeding tables when their dad starts playing the guitar. Who though someone so tiny could be so musical? The girls start dancing in their own way and have huge smiles on their faces. What a lovely father-daughters time.

Take a look at them in the video below. Aren’t they the cutest?

How would a very young kid learn all about responsibility and taking care of someone if they don’t get to grow around a dog? And yes, despite what some people might say, getting a dog is the best thing one can do for their children.

Scarley is a young lady whose best friend is the Pit Bull Lebowski. The two are inseparable and spend each minute of their days together. Scarley loves singing to her furry pal and just recently, one of her performances was caught on tape and uploaded on Instagram. Needless to say, thousands saw the little girl belting the lyrics of the song You’ve Got a Friend in Me to the pooch and they all love it.

YouTube

In fact, this isn’t the first time for this duo to catch the attention of the number of followers they have on the social media. Scarley’s mom shares a lot of cute photos of her daughter and Lebowski and they not only make people’s days, but also help fight the stereotypes surrounding this dog’s breed.

Take a look at Scarley and Lebowski in the video below. Cute beyond words, don’t you agree?

Andrea Bocelli’s captivating voice made him one of the most famous singers worldwide, and his fame only grows bigger with each passing day. With over 15 albums under his belt, Bocelli never ceases to amaze his fans with something new and refreshing, such as his transition from opera to pop music.

His duet with the Canadian singer Celine Dion from 1998, “The Prayer,” which was recorded for the animated film Quest for Camelot brought them the Golden Globe Award for Best Original Song. It was also nominated for the Academy Award for Best Original Song. Speaking of Bocelli, Dion once said, “If God would have a singing voice, he must sound a lot like Andrea Bocelli.”

For the Bocelli family, it looks like musical talent is rooted in their genes. His son Mateo follows in his father’s footsteps and is pursuing career in music. His duet with his dad, “Fall On Me,” is touching and a huge hit that touched many hearts.

Amos, Bocelli’s eldest was part of the album Sì as well. He played piano on the acoustic versions of “Sono Qui” (I Am Here) and “Ali de Libertà” (Wings of Freedom).

In December of 2019, Bocelli showed the world that his youngest child, 9-year-old daughter Virginia, inherited her father’s talent, too.

They sang “Fall on Me” together and people loved it. The video has more than a million views and many positive comments. “I love to hear him sing but it brings me more joy just to watch the interaction between the two of them. Such unconditional love,” one person wrote.

Bocelli is very dedicated to his family and his children and supports them in their careers. Who knows, maybe Virginia will also take part in one of her dad’s albums in the future.

Bocelli’s wife, Veronica Berti, is part of the video as well. She and Virginia practice some of the vocals together before the girl’s voice blends with that of her dad in a perfect harmony.

One of the most powerful voices on Earth and one in the making surely is the perfect combination. And what a duet would this be if there isn’t some cute dancing?

Ventriloquists Darci Lynne and Terry Fator deliver enchanting version of “The Prayer”

By

I have always admired ventriloquists. They possess unique talents and give life to dolls and sometimes other objects, and I think that’s awesome.

Some of the most famous names among ventriloquists are that of Darci Lynne Farmer and Terry Fator. What these two entertainers have in common is that they are both winners of different seasons of one of the most famous talent shows there is, America’s Got Talent.

It is amazing that the show gives credit to people who posses skills of different fields and in that way promotes dancers, comedians, as well as ventriloquists.

Now, if you are familiar with Darci and Terry, you probably know Petunia and Winston. This time, the four of them gathered for an incredible rendition of the famous song The Prayer which was initially recorded by two of the greatest names in the music industry, Celine Dion and Andrea Bocelli. The song was created for the 1998 animated musical Quest for Camelot and became iconic, thus got recorded by a number of singers and musicians over the years.

However, we have to admit that listening to it performed by Darci and Terry through their dolls Petunia and Winston is another kind of magical experience.

Listen to them sing below.

Woman starts crying because she can’t afford to pay for her groceries – teen cashier steps in and says “I got you”

This 19-year-old cashier’s act is just another proof that you don’t need to be rich in order to help the less fortunate.

When John Lopez Jr. first started working at Walmart, he set a goal to make enough money to pay for his college tuition. He promised to himself that he wouldn’t use that funds for anything else, up until the moment he realized there was someone out there who needed it more than he did.

Namely, one day while on the job, a woman standing in front of his counter started crying as he was ringing her items up. She was short of money and couldn’t afford to pay the bill.

John Lopez Jr. knew he had to step in and do just the right thing.

I just felt in my heart that the Lord told me I had to help her. OK, I got you… I got you.

This young man selflessly took $110 of his pocket and paid for the groceries.

And as no good deed, no matter how big or small, goes unnoticed, what John did caught the attention of another customer. Laci Smith witnessed the scene and shared it on her Facebook page.

Now, John’s story has gone viral and a GoFundMe page has been set up to help raise money for John’s college tuition.

This year I’d like to keep the Christmas spirit alive by giving back to this young man. The comments that I’ve seen about this gentleman is extraordinary. He touches a lot of lives on a daily basis. I’d like to give back to him for constantly giving himself to our community. He is also trying to save money to put himself into college. Let’s come together as a community and pay John’s tuition. He will do big things!

It looks like many people found John’s act of kindness inspiring, so they chose to do a good deed by donating to his Just Giving page. Ultimately, around $31,000 were raised. John could now pay for his school tuition, all because of his kind heart.

We hope others will decide to follow John’s example and help someone in need during this period of the year which is all about giving.
