They love one another dearly, respect one another and are completely honest. My wedding was the best day of my life. I was shocked when Tommy proposed, but I didn’t have to think twice about saying yes. Tommy and I never argue. I love my husband very much. He is my best friend.
22 Years Later They Realize that Mom Was Right For Supporting Her Daughter’s Marriage
Man makes an odd request, but then unexpectedly shocked everybody, especially the waitress.
Can I have a waitress who is a single mother?
Now, this caused a few moments of confusion but to humor the man he was indeed sent a waitress called Crystal. He sat in his seat and watched the other customers for around a couple of hours, but it was what he did next that left the staff completely dumbfounded.Today I met an angel. You came into a Denny’s I work at in Utah. You asked me, ‘Can I have a waitress who is a single mother?’
I thought it was very odd, but I sat you in Crystal’s section. You sat there for 2 hours just watching people.
7 families came in and ate while you were there and you paid every one of their bills, over $1,000 you paid for people you didn’t even know.
I asked, ‘Why did you do that?’ You simply said, ‘Family is everything, I’ve lost all mine.’
Looking into your eyes while you said that made me tear up (It’s why I walked away so quickly) as soon as I got in the back I broke down in tears because your eyes had so much pain in them.
I just wanted to let you know, the waitress Crystal that you requested was living in a shelter with her son until she was able to save up enough to get a place.
Your bill was $21.34 and you left her a $1,500 tip, because of you she gets her new place next week, because of you 7 families ate for free.
Crystal told me she prayed the night before for a miracle and God sent you.
You left before any of us could say thank you, I hope you read this because you’re truly an amazing person and you stole the hearts of every one of us here.
Thank you.

Cops Do The Right Thing by A Woman Hunched in A Chair, Her Swollen Legs Tell A Storey
I was debating whether or not to add this photo because I didn’t want to seem like I was looking for recognition. I don’t care for that. But I think this picture my partner took is too powerful to keep hidden. And I care to show the good in police work. This is Priscilla and she is a well-known member of our community. She chooses to sit in an old rotting chair under a bridge every day. Her legs are swollen three times their normal size. She’s mentally ill. She will curse you up and down if she doesn’t like you but she is the sweetest human ever if you get on her good side. Believe me I spent many of our initial encounters asking her not to call me the ‘B’ word. I check on her regularly because she has an infection on her foot. The flesh is rotting away, it seeps liquid, and the bugs are constantly inside of it. She refuses to go to the hospital although I have called an ambulance for her several times.
I have begged her to let me take her to the hospital but she’s so stubborn and I can’t force her. The other day I brought her bactine spray to hopefully help heal her foot and keep the bugs away. She was almost crying because she was so scared it would sting, so I had to spray it for her. I brought her hot cheetos and beef sticks, but she proceeded to yell at me for not getting her pizza. I absolutely adore this woman, y’all. She’s one of the most amazing souls I’ve ever had the pleasure of knowing. But as I was kneeling there cleaning her foot, I couldn’t help but think of the song ‘Who Will Be Jesus To Her?’ Sometimes it feels as if the whole world is against my Blue Family. We are hated and wished to be dead. We are called racist murderers, robots and pigs. Yet, out of the public’s eye, we get on our knees in the dirt to show love by washing the feet of those others would reject. Moments like these are the reason I am so passionate about what I do. I have never felt closer to Jesus than when I don my uniform and serve those who just need to be loved. God put me on this earth to be a police officer. And though we are despised and rejected, my heart remains at peace because I know I’m doing God’s work. As is every man and woman I proudly serve beside. This is the side of police work you don’t see. This is our every day shift. Don’t forget that we are human, and we are called to serve as well as protect. UPDATE: I went back and saw Priscilla again today because I was going to bring her medicine, and she had a bandage around her foot. I was informed that for the past month (unbeknownst to me) Charleston County EMS has been making daily checks on Priscilla while I have only been checking on her once or twice a week. I didn’t know because she takes her bandage off by the time I get on shift because it ‘gets dirty.’ But they provide her with more medical care and attention than I am able to. They also feed and clothe her (today she told me ‘don’t I look sexy in my new dress?’) I don’t know exactly who responds to her, but they are the ones who deserve the recognition. They are the real representations of Jesus and should be thanked a hundred times more than I. If anyone knows who is assigned to her, please let me know.Officer Lohnes wasn’t obliged to pull over or help Priscilla, but she knew her work was a true calling, and God’s work! Looking after Priscilla was a big job but thankfully there were other kind souls also looking after her too, with their efforts all put together, she will get better and better! Without the work of our men and women in blue, the world would truly be a sadder place.
Burn Victim Visits Orangutan, His Reaction Takes Everyone By Surprise
Son Has Epiphany After Years Of Neglect When He Saw Mom In Coffin, It Changes His Life Forever
I just threw the phone down. I ran out of my hotel room. I took the elevator to the lobby. When the doors opened up, I just ran out in the street … I walked down the middle of the street in Hiroshima, Japan, and I remember looking up and I remember saying, Mom, I am so sorry.It was in this precise moment that he started to cry, the emotions of the moment grew as he then elaborates about his mother’s funeral saying:
I was so nervous to walk up to her casket, so I just stood way in the back. I kept thinking to myself, Mom, please wake up. Please, get up.His whole life was about being a millionaire and “winning the race”, but since then he has had a bigger realization of the real value of life and family and how quickly you can lose something you didn’t realize you had until you lost it! He left the teens with a final message:
I no longer live in time, I live in moments. And it’s not what’s in your pocket that matters, it’s what’s in your heart that truly matters. Love is just a word until somebody comes along and gives it meaning. You, you’re the meaning.This really is a message worth spreading!

Fathers Girlfriend Steals Daughter’s Heart With A Nurses Uniform, Mom Has A Different Reaction!
Brittney recently wrote on facebook and gave a shout out to the perfectly unlikely father in her daughter’s life, daddy’s newest girlfriend, called Kayla. So, starting with such a simple, however, profound question:
“To all of the mothers out there who throw a fit when another woman treats your child as her own …why isn’t that exactly what you want?”
Now, this is plenty, meaningful, sincere words to leave a lot of us speechless right? After all, there really is no good enough motive, besides sour grapes and vengeance, but, it doesn’t stop there.
Brittney continues to elaborate, throwing a spanner in the works, she says that all her prayers have been answered in the type of woman her ex-hubby is dating:“I prayed one night for the type of woman my daughter’s father would be with, knowing that she would be raised in two homes.”
“Kayla has been a gift of so much more than I could have hoped for.”
Back to Kayla, who is a nursing student, and is a great example to their daughter Payton. Every single day Payton sees Kayla working tirelessly towards her goal, on top of giving love and consideration towards the family. Brittney said:“… I’m raising a strong girl, a smart girl, and a sweet girl. And I want nothing more than for her to be surrounded with role models who are exactly that.”
“Thank you Kayla for showing Payton how to chase her dreams, how to work hard and stay up late to study for a test.”
“Thank you for still making time to ride her bike with her and make her mac and cheese even in one of the stressful times of your life.”
Kayla had even bought a nurses uniform for little Payton so they could play nurses together, this surely is a huge sincere gesture in many ways, and also a way to make a proud mother of her little girl. Brittney went on to say about Kayla:“You’re a true role model and an amazing bonus mom and we are so proud of you!”
Brittney’s powerful words, as parting advice, seem to be as sincere as the question she asked at the start of her post. So she asks all parents in a similar position:“If you’re co-parenting, and seeing your child doing things like this doesn’t bring a smile to your face, reconsider what’s truly best for your child.”
“Payton has more people to love her this way, and what more could a mother ever want for her child?”
“Being best friends with me AND being best friends with Kayla, is exactly where P deserves to be. It takes a village, and I happen to love mine.” The message Brittney posted has gone viral, shared by almost 50,000 times with 100’s of thousands of people reacting to it on Facebook, what a powerful message don’t you think?
