Some songs are simply timeless. No matter how much time has passed, they still remain huge hits sang by many even nowadays. I know you can think of many such masterpieces, and I’m pretty sure “What Kind of Fool” comes to your mind as well. Initially performed back in 1981 by “Barbs and Barry,” or if you prefer Barbara Streisand and Barry Gibb of the Beegees, this song is everlasting.

This time, it comes from Tim McGraw’s eldest daughter, Gracie. Now if you are a fan of country music you know all too well who we are talking about.

Father-daughter goals😍❤️ Hope Gracie is having a great time in NYC!😊 #TimMcGraw#GracieMcGraw#NYC#Goals#Tbt

A post shared by Tim And Faith💋 (@mcgrawhearts96) on

What’s best, this girl and her dad’s edition of the Beegees’ song comes right from their car. They are not recording at the studio, but having fun driving around and singing casually, which makes the whole performances beyond sweet. Bonding together and making people’s days, so what’s not to love about this video?

These two sang together before, even on stage, but this rather “informal” performance is what captured our hearts. Father-daughter time has never looked any better than this.

As a country music singer, Tim always sings from the soul, and it’s undeniable that Gracie got her talent from him. Listening to her singing makes her dad very proud. He can’t take the smile off his face and that speaks a lot about how happy he is she’s following into his footsteps.

Gracie is a serious singer with an angelic voice that stole the hearts of many. She’s still very young, so we hope we’ll hear more of her in the future.

People and other celebrities couldn’t help but notice how special the relationship between these two is.

“Aw Daddy’s getting emotional so proud of his little girls gift. It was so cute and sweet watching him listen to his baby girl. She should go into music but she’s her own person she can sing what ever type of music she wants to it doesn’t have to be country. Her parents will be proud of her ether way as we fans are proud of her.”- Allison Burke

Tim has the time of his life as he joins Gracie trying to imitate Gibb’s high pitch so we see him in a different light than what we are used to.

This father-daughter duet is a must see. Check it out in the video below.

Josh Groban Sings “Hallelujah” in the Shower and We Are in Chills

Some people are born to be stars. His undeniable talent for singing and acting, along with his humble personality makes Josh Groban one of our favorite musicians and entertainers. His powerful vocal gives us chills whenever we listen to him perform.

Now, during the coronavirus pandemic when most of us are spending the days in the comfort of our homes, Groban’s music comes as a true delight that cheers us up and somehow reminds us that everything is going to be just fine.

This time, he uploaded a rendition that he sang straight from his shower and we fell in love with him again. This is what the description of the video says:

“… brave frontline workers around the country but especially those in the epicenter at New York Presbyterian Hospital and Columbia University Irving Medical Center and around NYC.”

Healthcare workers deserve all the praise and support. And Groban wanted to make sure they know he’s thankful for everything they do during these hard times for the humanity.

Singing Cohen’s masterpiece “Hallelujah” sounds pretty unique and deeply touching when coming from this incredible performer. The song received little attention when it was first released, but once it was featured in the animated movie “Shrek” it rose to popularity and is now many people’s all time favorite.

This is the third song from the series of performances Groban does from his shower, and we hope there will be more.

This time, however, he performs along with the violin virtuoso Lucia Micarelli. Her talent is mesmerizing and we believe the two make a powerful music duo. This isn’t the first time for these two to join in the music as Micarelli has been featured in two Groban’s world tours.

Groban’s smooth voice and Miracelli’s singing and playing skills blend just perfectly.

“Well I’ve heard there was a secret chord
That David played and it pleased the Lord
But you don’t really care for music, do you?
Well it goes like this”

Groban wants everyone to know that these rough times aren’t here to stay, we just have to stick to our fate and be there for one another.

“In times like these I’m inspired by everyone doing their part, no matter how seemingly large or small, to make a difference. We can get through this. Let’s not lose our kindness and humanity while we do.”

People love it and can’t help but let their emotions speak for them. One person writes, “Not only does your voice invoke peace but also your wonderful sweet personality! Thank your for sharing yourself with others! Truly a gift from God!” 

This truly is a masterpiece and a much needed refreshment. Make sure you don’t miss the video below.

Many people who are affected by the pandemic in one way or another are in need of solidarity and support during these hard times for the humankind.

The good thing is that we see many ordinary people, as well as celebrities, giving their contribution in the fight against the virus by offering words of hope and helping financially. And that speaks a lot about humanity. No matter who we are and what our background is, we show that we know how to stand together when we need it the most.

Health workers who are at the front line in the fight against the coronavirus pandemic receive enormous amount of gratitude and are praised by many, including One World: Together At Home, a global broadcast and digital special. This movement, under Global Citizen, made it possible for many music super stars to come together and show their support.

This time, people’s hearts were captured by the incredible performance of “The Prayer” by Celine Dion, Andrea Bocelli, Lady Gaga, John Legend and pianist Lang Lang. The music and the lyrics seem to perfectly fit the purpose of the song being performed by such powerful vocals amid the pandemic.

Needless to say, all eyes and ears were on these remarkable musicians on April 18th.

Celine and Andrea have performed this masterpiece many time throughout the years, and the vocal of Lady Gaga added to this one-of-a-kind experience.

John’s presence led to a stunning mixture of his cool tone with the high pitch of the rest of the stars.

Of course, this performance wouldn’t be the same without the talent of Chinese pianist Lang Lang.

From the comfort of their homes, these five musicians brought the 1998 hit to a whole new level. It is a perfect harmony between English and Italian lyrics, and a pleasant blending between styles.

“In times when we don’t know
Let this be our prayer
When we lose our way
Lead us to a place
Guide us with your grace
To a place where we’ll be safe”

It’s amazing what music can do. It holds the power to not only entertain us, but to provide comfort during our toughest of times. We are glad everyone is feeling they can help humanity overcome the struggles this pandemic has placed upon them and end up winners.

Listen to what is one of the best rendition of “The Prayer” so far in the video below. It’s not a surprise it has been seen by more than 7.5 million people in just a couple of days.

Bus Driver Holds Little Girl Back on Bus After Children Hop Off, Dad Learns It’s for Her Hair

Mothers are those special humans who seem to possess a bunch of super powers. They take care of the house, run errands, and always know where things are. So with our moms by our side, we should never worry that we will ever fail.

Sweet Isabella, a nine-year-old from Utah had a special bond with her mom Patricia Pieri. Every morning, this mom would make sure her daughter’s hair was nicely braided or put in a perfect bun.

Sadly, Patricia was suffering from a rare brain illness ever since Isabella was three, and she fought as much as she could, but lost the fight and left her sweet girl devastated.

Isabella’s dad, Philip, did all he could for the girl to overcome the loss. He even tried doing her hair the way her mom did, by no matter how much effort he put, it never looked the same.

“She’d get mad at me for pulling her hair. I didn’t know how to do it. One day [Isabella] came home and it looked beautiful. I call her my princess and she looks the part, she plays the part and her confidence is way up, which is what I’ve been intending.”

He was left puzzled and wondered who could do his girl’s hair that nicely?

Well, it turned out the person who took time to help Isabella style her hair was the 47-year-old bus driver Tracy Dean. This woman isn’t like any other bus driver out there. She truly is very special as always keeps close eye on everyone on her bus making sure they are safe and sound.

As caring as she is, Tracy noticed Isabella had a hard time putting her hair in a bun, so she decided to step in and lend a helping hand.

Having four children on her own, Tracy is aware that looks matters a lot to kids Isabella’s age so she makes sure she holds her back while the rest of the students are off the bus to help her do her hair.

“I could tell she was struggling with her hair. We usually do two French braids first and once in a while she just wants one braid. I also taught her how to brush her hair. She’d get on the bus and she’d say, ‘I brushed my hair. Does it look good? I’ll say, ‘You did awesome.’”

Needless to say, Philip is very thankful for everything this caring woman does for Isabella. Maybe it doesn’t seem like much to others, but it means the world to this girl who lost her mother at such young age.

“She’s such a nice woman.”

Tracy is happy she can help Isabella feel better about herself. She is a cancer survivor and always asks herself what if it were her children in Isabella’s place.

“It’s just the way my mom raised me, to be nice to everyone—people who need a little love in their life. I like to give all of the kids a chance—even the naughty kids.”

Take a look at the video below for the whole story. Isabella is very grateful for everything Tracy is doing for her. Please share this story with your family and friends, maybe it will inspire someone to do an act of kindness.

Little Boy Battling COVID-19 Temperature of More than 106 Can’t Shake Off Fever

The coronavirus outbreak is causing widespread fear and concern. People are socially distancing and doing their best to keep themselves safe, but the virus doesn’t seem to spare anyone, including children as young as a day old.

Initially, researchers and epidemiologists believed children were at lower risk of contracting the virus, but the number of cases of youngsters affected proves that not to be completely relevant information.

One family is sharing how their one-year-old son was diagnosed with COVID-19 and are urging other parents of young children to be extra cautious.

Speaking of the symptoms the toddler from Farmington, Michigan, experienced, his mom Amanda May Schreiber told Detroit News, “He looked like he was passing out, I’m doing songs and acting crazy in the car and he just wasn’t responsive. It was one of the scariest moments of my life.”

The family self-isolated themselves and stayed home making sure they were regularly checking on their kids’ temperature. That morning of March 31, both Luke’s and his 4-month-old sibling Alistair’s temperature indicated they had fever.

“Luke woke up crying, which he never usually does, and he had a fever close to 103, a little more than Alistair’s,” Amanda said.

“I immediately thought ‘oh no,’ but we didn’t panic. We got them up, gave them Motrin and the fevers reduced quickly, so we hoped it was nothing to worry about.”

Luke’s condition didn’t get any better and his temperature rose to 106.5.

“I promise you we checked it 10 times using two different thermometers and checking it on ourselves, too.”

Amanda and Ryan tried many things i order to lower Luke’s temperature down, such as giving him a bath, but nothing seemed to help.

“Luke started screaming because it was cold, and we were obviously really scared because it all happened really quickly,” Ryan added. “In that quick moment of panic, you know you have to jump in action.”

The worried parents rushed their little boy to the hospital.

“Six hours after we got to the hospital, his fever was still at 104.5. He stayed the night. It took just 12 hours to get the results back that he was positive for COVID-19 because they do in-house testing,” Amanda told the Detroit News.

“Doctors told us that with that temperature, any longer before bringing him into the hospital he’s at a much higher risk for seizure and brain damage,” Ryan said. “There’s a lot of people who are, unfortunately, losing loved ones, and as long as we can keep Luke healthy, we’re lucky.”

It’s bee a while since Luke was diagnosed with COVID-19 and doctors are still struggling to get his temperature down.

“It goes away and comes right back. We have yet to see a day without a fever at some point. He gets exhausted way faster and just needs to sleep more.”

“It’s important to stay vigilant,” Ryan said. “We thought we were doing everything that we could to prevent it. We were washing surfaces, we were cleaning hands, leaving mail and packages in the garage, and Luke still got it.”

We pray for sweet Luke to overcome the condition as soon as possible. And for the rest of the parents, make sure you keep your little ones as protected as possible.

Grandma Changes Grandson’s Name while Mother Recovers from a C-section

Some in-laws know how to keep distance and never interfere between their child and their spouse, but there are also those who want to have a say in each decision the couple makes. Sadly, it can negatively affect the emotional connections the partners share. Just like that of the husband and the wife from this story.

One mother wrote a letter to Slate describing what her mother-in-law did while she was recovering from giving birth to her son via c-section.

She started her letter by explaining how her husband’s mother has never been fond of her and has always been a manipulator. One good thing was that she and her husband lived states away from her husband’s family, but that didn’t prevent her mother-in-law to find a way to interfere whenever possible.

When she heard the news that her son and her daughter-in-law were expecting a baby, the mother-in-law was over the moon. But soon after, she started asking questions about the baby’s name. The couple told her how they have already decided on the name, but she insisted she didn’t like what they had in mind naming their bundle of joy and said how she had a better name.

As the woman sharing this story put her mother-in-law in her place and told her how the conversation about the baby’s name was a done deal, the mother-in-law though she could persuade her son to listen to her, but once he turned her name offers down himself, she stopped arguing.

When the day they were all eagerly waiting for finally came, the mom gave birth via c-section and was way too tired to deal with paper work so she let her husband deal with it. The mother-in-law, however, saw it as a chance to make her son change the baby’s name.

He didn’t want to listen to his mom at first, but she was persistent, so the new father agreed on a compromise.

He kept the first name of the baby to what his wife wanted, but changed the middle name from “Finley” to “Finlay.”

Once the “damage was done,” the husband realized his wife would be mad at him for listening to his mother, so he decided not to tell her anything about what happened.

A couple of months later, the mother-in-law sent the baby a gift which was addressed to Finlay. The mother knew something was wrong so she went on and checked the baby’s Social Security Number. To her surprise (or not) her son’s middle name was in fact Finlay.

After she confronted her husband, he said how his mother managed to guilt-trip him.

At the end, this woman forgave her husband, but she couldn’t forgive her mother-in-law.

The advice she got after sending the letter? That she’s too kind for her husband and his family and that she should have asked for a divorce.

Well, despite what the husband and his mother did, we believe divorce shouldn’t be an option.

What about you? How would you react if you were in this woman’s place?

Neighbors Destroy Their Vehicles Because They Refuse to Stop Running over Fence

Those people who get to live in a neighborhood of nice humans who mind their own business and never cause any troubles, such as playing loud music or ruining stuff, are truly lucky. 

One woman shared a very interesting story of how her father dealt with his obnoxious neighbors and people love it. 

Turning to Reddit, this woman wrote:

“We live in a small private neighbourhood, the neighbours are related to us more or less (distant relatives). Everybody here is a complete nutjob. They were constantly arguing over decades before me or my brother were even born. Our property line is kinda like a square and it is surrounded by road from two sides. Keep in mind that on one part of the road we let our neighbours use 1 square meter of the land so they could use the road safer and not damage our property.”

As this constant fight went on and on throughout the years and the neighbors couldn’t come to terms about the problem and find a solution that would suit everyone best, they simply decided to run over this man’s fence and destroy it.  

“One day my neighbors order a massive truck filled with tons of wood. The truck driver runs over our fence. Nobody wanted to pay for the damage. Our fence is made out of multiple bushes, trees and a little bit of metal fence too. These plants were now completely destroyed and a part of metal fence completely bent. We had to replant these plants and place a new metal fence. My father told me this was not the first time this happened but actually third. I couldn’t believe it when I heard this. So this is where the revenge begins.”

Not having the strength to put up with the careless behavior of those people living around him, the woman’s father, who is a police officer, decided to dig up the property line marker and fill the area with rock-filled barrels. Shortly after, three of the neighbors damaged their vehicles after running onto the barrels. 

“Over the period of 1 year these neighbors hit the barrels so much with their cars that the barrels are now worthless.”

Dad, however, wasn’t about to quit on that small piece of land that belonged to him. 

“He bought cement, sand and metal poles. One peaceful afternoon my father and I cemented that whole part of the land and placed some lovely flowers on top. So when they hit the concrete they can smell our flowers of victory/defeat.”

Needless to say, they cars were damaged further, and the fence stayed untouched. 

“As we expected. 5 neighbors in total wrecked their cars on the new fence and nobody came knocking on the door.”

Later, the woman who shared the story added an update saying:

“Some of them are really bad drivers. But they got used to it after a while. There is one neighbor that was drunk most of the time. I wouldn’t say they were drunk driving but merely just turned too soon.”

Have you ever had to deal with tough neighbors yourself? If yes, tell us your story in the comments section below. 

Girl, 5, Doesn’t Hesitate a Second When Mom Has Seizure in Pool, Jumps In and Saves Her Life

This is the incredible story of a five-year-old girl named Allison who stepped in for her mother when she needed it the most and saved her life. Not every child that young knows how to react in a stressful situation and offer help, but sweet Allison knew exactly what she was doing.

Tracy Anderwald, Allison’s mom, shares the story of her brave girl’s act and is forever thankful for what she did for her.

One day, Tracy decided to relax in the pool together with her daughter. But soon, Allison got bored and went to play in the yard. What was supposed to be a fun day for these two, could easily turn into a tragedy. As Tracy was swimming, she experienced a seizure and her head went under the water.

As Allison was playing, she noticed how her mom stopped swimming and rushed to check if everything was fine. The girl then saw her mom’s body floating and her head in the water. Without thinking twice, Allison jumped in the pool and pulled her mom to safety using all her strength.

Sweet Allison then turned her mom over, but she was still having a seizure so Allison went inside the house and asked from the rest of the family to come.

Tracy’s husband then called 911.

Next thing Tracy remembers is the hospital bed. She wasn’t sure what happened exactly or how she ended up in the hospital. When her sister, Tedra Hunt, told her how it was Allison who saved her life, Tracy couldn’t believe her ears.

“Allison was able to do that on her own. And so it’s a miracle,” Tedra said.

When Tracy checked the security footage, she saw the whole thing. She was very grateful she raised such brave and quick-thinking child.

Tracy recalls teaching Allison how to swim when she was just two and a half years old. It seemed she was way too young for that skill at the time, but Tracy was now happy she did that.

The incredible video of the rescue was later uploaded on YouTube and has been seen more than 4.5 million times.

Allison was hailed a hero and deserves all the praise for her brave act.

Seizures, sadly, can happen at any time and any place, and can be a result of many different conditions such as strokes, head injuries, extremely low blood sugar, and more. But we should all know how to offer help in such situations.

You can take a look at the incredible rescue in the video below. Please share it with your friends.
