“Being a gentleman never goes out of fashion,” and it looks like 6-year-old Casey Boyd of Main Brook, N.L., who truly is a lady’s man, knows this all too well.
This past Valentine’s day, this young boy made the day of 155 women from his neighborhood by delivering roses to them and reminding them just how special they are.

In order to make this plan of his come true, adorable Casey was saving money the entire year. At the end, he could afford a rose for every girl and woman. In return, he got plenty of hugs and kisses. The ladies who were lucky enough to be given that special attention by the young gentleman were over the moon. Some of them even cried tears of joy, and it was the best thank you Casey could ever hope for.

Lynn Boyd, the boy’s mom, who is obviously doing parenting right, helped her son deliver the roses.
Speaking to CBC Radio’s St. John’s Morning Show, Casey said: “I just wanted to put smiles on everyone’s faces.”
At the end of the tiring day, he also gave his mom a bouquet. Well, she is the most special lady in his life and she taught him how to be caring and loving.

Casey says he has already started saving money for next year’s Valentine’s day, too. Way to go young man!
Life is full of surprises, and many times, when we lose hope and when we least expect it, a miracle happens and reminds us that nothing is impossible.
Emma was a shelter dog who resided at a Charlotte animal shelter. Sadly, this isn’t a “no-kill” shelter, and poor Emma found herself on the list to be euthanized.

But then, someone took a notice of this lovely girl and took the time to inform an animal lover, Nicholas R., of the state Emma had found herself in. Nicholas though he could foster the dog and eventually adopt her. He got in touch with Dorsey Patrick, the Director and Founder of Jesse’s Place, who was willing to step in and help Nicholas get Emma under his wing.
According to Fox 46 Charlotte, Nicholas wrote to the organization: “I’m interested in fostering and possibly adopting this sweet girl…I’m very patient, calm, gentle, and have plenty of time to work with her. My last rescued boy died in 2016 from cancer.”

In no time, Emma found herself in a loving home. However, no one was aware that she was hiding something. To the surprise of everyone, the dog was pregnant. Days after she was rescued from certain death, Emma gave birth to 6 puppies. So, Nicholas didn’t only save her life, but that of her babies too.

According to him, Emma and the little ones are doing fine. We are so glad Nicholas stepped in for this mother just in time. May God bless him for his kindness.
Although many of us believed how the new century and the fact that people are slowly but surely becoming open-minded of the new and unconventional things that surround them will bring a change in the way we perceive relations between humans, it’s sad how segregation is still present in modern countries like the United States. No matter how much some of us refuse to admit it, the issue of racial, age, or gender discrimination is there, and it’s real, and it’s up to us whether we’ll continue nurture those feelings of hatred or we’ll teach our kids that no matter how “different” we are, we are all the same.
An interesting encounter that took place at the airport while Kevin Armentrout and his family were waiting to board their flight is enough evidence that we can make things right only if we really give it a try. We can’t help but say how this guy does parenting right.

As people were trying to kill time using their phones or reading books, Kevin’s daughter was having fun running around the place and saying “hi” to random strangers. Needless to say, she managed to put a smile on everyone’s face.
But then, she noticed one guy who caught her interest, so the little girl simply approached and took a seat right next to him.
The man was glad he could make the girl’s waiting time more enjoyable by offering her his tablet and teaching her how to draw on it.
The two strangers spent around 45 minutes together, watching cartoons and laughing. Kevin had his eyes on his daughter all the time but he didn’t want to interrupt the two newly made friends. This father’s heart melted when he noticed his daughter offering the stranger, whose name was Joseph, her snacks.

Kevin later decided to share the story of the lovely encounter on his Facebook page, writing:
Watching them in that moment, I couldn’t help but think, different genders, different races, different generations, and the best of friends. This is the world I want for her.
If every parent out there wants a world for their kids as the one Kevin wants for his daughter, we’ll make the one we all share a much happier place. On the other hand, being kind to little kids will teach them how they should treat others with kindness too.
After Kevin posted the photo of the two friends having fun together, many people reached to him and told him how they knew Joseph and how he is one of the most generous and friendliest people they know. No one was surprised how he took the time to entertain the little girl because that’s what he does, makes people happy.

Kevin ended his post saying:
In a country that is continuously fed that it’s so deeply divided by beliefs, I want her life to be filled with moments like this… not liberal or conservative republican or democrat, socialist or capitalist, just HUMAN.
It’s truly amazing how friendship knows no boundaries.
How far would you go for a tiny human being in need? Police officer Celeste Ayala from Berisso, Argentina, went above and beyond when she found herself in a situation where she could step in for someone vulnerable and fragile; a neglected baby who suffered from malnutrition and was called “dirty and smelly.” What she did to help the tiny soul made her a viral sensation and got her a promotion at work.
“That’s the type of police we’re proud of, the police we want,” the minister of security of the Buenos Aires province said after officer Ayala was promoted to sergeant.
Namely, the baby was brought to the Sister Maria Ludovica children’s hospital while Ayala was on the job as a guard.
Without even thinking twice, she took the baby that was handed to her, and she started breastfeeding it.
“I noticed that he was hungry, as he was putting his hand into his mouth, so I asked to hug him and breastfeed him. It was a sad moment, it broke my soul seeing him like this, society should be sensitive to the issues affecting children, it cannot keep happening,” she told a local outlet.

One of her colleagues, Marcos Heredia, believed that Ayala’s deed was worth sharing, so he posted a photo of her with the baby on the social media.
In the blink of an eye, the photo was shared and commented on by a huge number of people who only had words of praise for the kind and quick-thinking officer.
An official from the brigade where officer Ayala volunteers in her spare time also commented on her act of kindness and said: “We want to congratulate the voluntary firefighting cadet Celeste Ayala who yesterday in her job as police officer whilst she was on guard duty at the Hospital, breastfed a young child who arrived crying. Actions like these fill us with pride and obligate us to redouble the effort, the work and the solidarity with our community.”
Among those who lost their lives in the King Soopers store massacre in Boulder, Colorado, which happened on Monday, was a brave police officer who left a loving wife and seven children behind.
Officer Eric Talley was serving the force for 11 years and was known as a courageous man. He showed that once again on the day he tragically died. According to reports, he was the first one to respond to the call about possible armed robbery of the store.
Eric Talley died a hero.
When others ran for safety, he ran towards the violence.
Our police are always willing to put their lives on the line for us & we should always thank every officer we see for their service.
His family and friends, among which his father and sister, describe 51-year-old Talley as a very vibrant person loved by everyone who has ever met him. Speaking to KUSA, a CNN affiliate, the grieving father, Homer Talley, said: “Didn’t surprise me he was the first one there. He loved his family more than anything. He was also a prankster with a “great sense of humor.”
Boulder Police Chief Maris Herold spoke of the brave act by officer Talley and said he was always ready to respond to any call saying his death was a huge loss not only to the family but the department as well.
Chief: Our hearts go out to all families impacted. There are 10 fatalities. She identified slain Police Officer Eric Talley, who was one of the first on the scene. She calls officer’s actions “heroic.”
In order to help officer Talley’s family, a GoFundMe page has been set up. So far, more than 10,000 people donated.
Officer Eric Talley is my big brother. He died today in the Boulder shooting. My heart is broken. I cannot explain how beautiful he was and what a devastating loss this is to so many. Fly high my sweet brother. You always wanted to be a pilot (damn color blindness). Soar. pic.twitter.com/tgt2DxPsqz
On February 28, a woman named Nahji Jackson spotted a young boy selling muffins right in front of Food Town on Briar Forest. From what she has told ABC 13, she got concerned for the boy’s well-being because he had cuts and bruises all over his face and wouldn’t speak. Jackson alerted the police and said she suspected child abuse.
Police spoke to the boy and contacted his parents who claimed he got the bruises from falling off a bike. The police wrote that the 8-year-old boy, whose name was Keyontae Holzendorf, seemed playful and didn’t appear to be scared of his parents. However, they did proceed the case to the Child Protective Service and the Physical Abuse Unit as a precaution, who didn’t find a record of previous abuse. Sadly, just three weeks after Jackson’s encounter with the boy, he died.

Namely, the police got a call of a possible drowning and arrived at the scene at Quality Inn and Suites off the West Beltway. It was Keyontae’s parents who made that call.
Keyontae was found lying in the middle of the room on the second floor, unresponsive and with severe injuries on his body. According to ABC 13, the boy was missing patches of skin on his chest, arms, tights, and the genitalia area. The investigators were aware there was more to the story than an accidental drowning.
Unfortunately, Keyontae was pronounced dead once at the hospital.

Speaking to ABC 13, Gilbert Sawtelle, the chief prosecutor of the Child Fatality Division at the Harris County District Attorney’s Office, said: “When HFD and Houston police arrived, this complainant had many, many signs of chronic abuse, both old and new injuries and the new injuries are horrendous.”

There were also marks of handcuffs and ligature on the boy’s ankles. Apparently, his mother, Kayla Holzendorf, and her common-law husband, Dominique Lewis, tried hiding the handcuffs. They have been arrested and charged with injury to a child and tampering with evidence. After the autopsy, the charges may be upgraded.
It takes bravery to be a firefighter. These people are aware they put their own lives on the line with each call they receive, but they still do it, because they know that if it wasn’t for them, many lives can be lost.
On Tuesday, around 1 a.m., a fire was reported to have broken out at Evergreen Court Home for Adults in Spring Valley, New York. First responders came to the scene in no time and did all in their power to get each of the residents to safety. Unfortunately, one of the firefighters, Jared Lloyd, got trapped inside the building and nothing could be done to help him.
His body was located 24 hours after the fire started.

One of the residents also lost their life. Two other firefighters, along with 10 other residents, were injured and hospitalized.
The staff at the facility home got involved in the rescue as well. “They did some tremendous work, life savings, before the fire department got there,” Garfield Bryan, an administrator at the facility, told CBS2. “People was all over the place. It quickly started to look like a war zone.”
Rockland County Fire Coordinator Chris Kear said: “Blackout conditions, high heat. We’re protected by our ensemble, gear, mask, as firefighters. You can imagine what the residents that are trapped are going through. That gives us the extra Herculean effort to find these people.”
Nowadays, many people struggle to make ends meet and can barely afford to buy the basic necessities.
A hidden camera television program named “What would you do?” shows how people react when they face situations in which they should make a decision whether to take an action or just walk by. The show first aired on ABC on February 26, 2008. It was created by Chris Whipple and is hosted by John Quiñones.
Throughout the years, the viewers could witness passersby and onlookers making unusual decision, but this time, the kindness one man and the rest of the customers were willing to show for the actress disguised in a single mom of four will melt your heart.
The scene took place in a grocery store in New Jersey and showed the mom walking in and later realizing she doesn’t have any money to pay for the groceries. The goal of the episode was to find out whether someone would come to this woman’s rescue and offer her a helping hand.
Surprisingly, or maybe not, the number of people who were willing to give the single mom some money is big.
The video shows that there are still compassionate people out there who wouldn’t let a human being suffer, no matter if that’s someone they know or a complete stranger.
Take a look at it below and don’t forget to share it with your friends. In the meantime, ask yourself what would YOU do!
