Veteran dies of cancer just 5 hours after getting married to the love of his life

When the young soldier Tristan Laue joined the army, it was like a dream come true. He knew he wanted to be part of the military and keep his country and nation safe and was looking forward to a long and successful career. Sadly, things don’t always turn out as expected and our plans are often interrupted by unfortunate events that prevent us from living our life to the fullest. 

In April 2018, Laue was medically discharged from the service. The reason was a devastating one. This young man who had a strong will to live and so many plans for his future was diagnosed with a rare form of a liver cancer. 

But being brave and a fighter as he was, Laue never let this break his spirit. He knew he had so much to accomplish before the evil disease take its toll. He attended the University of Northern Iowa and was looking forward to good things in life, hoping he would be able to beat the cancer. 

His girlfriend Tianna was the most supportive person ever. She never let Laue’s condition stand between their true love. 

“Talking to my mom … she said, ‘Some people don’t get what you two had in the amount of time, like they’ll be together for years and still not have the same connection that you guys did,’” Tianna told KWWL.

Sadly, Tristan’s illness continued to advance relentlessly and that meant the couple’s forever was going to last very short. 

No matter how much he tried and how hard he fought, Laue knew he was going to leave the world and was preparing for that last goodbye. 

But before that happened, he had a dream that he really wanted to fulfill, and it was getting married to the love of his life. He proposed to Tianna, and she said yes. 

Knowing how much it would mean for Laue, both his and Tianna’s family did their best and organized the ceremony in just 48 hours after he proposed. 

The lovebirds exchanged their wedding vows in the backyard of Laue’s home and became Mr. and Mrs. Laue. 

Unfortunately, only five hours later, young Tristan Laue died. He fought for nearly two years, but that stupid cancer won the battle. 

“He’s the love of my life, and even like talking to my mom and everything, she said some people don’t get what you two had in the amount of time, like they’ll be together for years and still not have the same connection that you guys did”, Mrs. Laue said.

Laue was buried May 4 in Waverly, Iowa. His friends are doing an amazing thing for him. They set up a GoFoundMe page to raise money for a memorial in the brave soldier’s honor. 

“All proceeds will be going directly to the memorial as well as any funds left over will be going to help his loved ones in any way they need!” the page says.

“Help us remember a great Chickasaw who brought laughter and kindness to us all!”

Mitch Laue, Tristan’s dad, said how Tianna was his son’s angel and now he can be hers. She really is a very special young woman who never left her loved one’s side. 

This story is just a reminder that we should always tell people around us how much we love them and how much they mean to us.

10 Things That Will Change About You When You Lose Your Parents

By

Our parents are our greatest support. When they are an essential part of our life, we know we have someone to rely on whenever things get rough. They are there to help us overcome the obstacles and give us advice on how things should be done. Those who have their parents by their side while growing up and later in life are very lucky. Those who lost a parent know the grief and the sadness of losing a part of your heart and soul. When a parent dies, things change. We are no longer the person we used to be. These are some of the things that take a completely different turn once we experience such a tragic event.

1. You Become More Anxious

The loss may affect you in a very deep emotional level. Those people whose mother or father died are more likely to struggle with depression, anxiety, and stress. Even everyday commitments take a lot of extra effort to deal with.

2. You Can’t Deal With People Complaining About Their Parents

When you know your parent is not around any longer and you will never have the chance to hug them or tell them how much you love them, it’s impossible to deal with people who are complaining about their mothers and fathers. They have no idea how lucky they are to even have them in their life.

3. You Feel the Grief in Your Body

The sadness and the grief one feels after losing a parent not only affect their mental, but also physical well-being. So during the process of mourning, people should we well aware of this and take care of both their body and soul.

4. You Learn to Live with Sadness

Someone who lost a parent will never stop missing that person who left the world, but as time passes by, they learn how to live with the loss and come to terms with the fact the person is no longer there. Eventually, they continue living their life, as that’s all they can do. In cases people are severely affected with the loss and the grieving lasts for too long, they should ask for medical assistance.

5. Holidays Have Changed

Holidays are that time of the year that we spend with our family and friends. That’s time of love, enjoyment, and happiness. So when one person is no longer there, we will forever miss their place during those family gatherings. However, over time, we create new meaningful ways of celebrating the occasions without them.

6. You Learn to Accept Their Flaws

No matter the relationship you and your parents had, once they are gone, you will miss them dearly. In cases there were some things that you didn’t like about them, their death will make you accept all their flaws and mistakes.

7. Your Emotions Become Complicated

It is very natural for a person whose parent, or parents died to be overflown with negative feelings and emotions. But remember, that’s normal and it’s an inevitable part of the grieving process.

8. Your Relationship with Your Siblings Changes

Relying on your siblings might be one of the ways of coping with the pain easily. However, whereas in some families brothers and sisters become closer as the grief unites them, there are also those families where the siblings split apart because the parents were the ones keeping them together.

9. You Catch Yourself Trying to Call Them

You know they are gone, but your heart and mind can’t easily accept the fact you’ll never see them again, so you catch yourself writing them a message, or calling them on their phone.

10. You Learn How Strong Love Is

You realize that when a person is gone, the love for them is still there and never fades away. You learn that the love you got from your parents, and the one you gave them back is all that matters. This helps the healing process.

Tom Mabe lures the thieves right into his trap – now more than 15 million people have watched the clip

Basic manners such as not stealing other people’s belongings should be taught from very early age. However, judging from the clip below, many failed in doing so. Luckily, Tom Mabe is there to teach these ill-mannered individuals a lesson they will never forget, and that’s not to put their sticky fingers on what’s not theirs. 

Tom is a well know YouTube personality as his clips make millions of people laugh. He really is a master of catching wrongdoers in the middle of committing their minor or sometimes big crimes. 

This particular video has been seen by more than 15 million people, and no matter it was taken back in 2016, I feel like I could be watching it over and over again. 

Tom really wanted to see how many people would try and actually steal his phone while they believe no one is watching. And boy, it seems there are more thieves around us than we can even imagine.

Tom is shown either sleeping or looking away while his phone is out of his reach. When passersby notice this, they figure our stealing Tom’s phone would be a piece of cake. But, of course, there is a catch. Well, more or less like there always is. The phone has a remote controlled stun gun installed inside. 

You are already guessing, the video is hilarious. 

Once the thieves grab the phone, Tom presses the remote and they get tazed. Ouch, that has to hurt a lot. But at the end of the day, people who steal don’t really deserve anything less than being punished for their actions. 

People say how the best part of the clip has to do with that couple at the park. The man put it in his pocket and then denied taking it, but that’s when Tom said, “that’s fine, I have a locator.” The man really got what he deserved for lying into Tom’s face. 

I am sure none of them will ever try stealing again.

Take a look at the video below. This is definitely a must watch.

Waitress sees a crying mom at Cracker Barrel, leaves note on her to-go bag

Despite all the commitments around the house, parents, especially moms should also make sure their kids spend quality time which includes learning new things, exploring, having fun, and being well fed. 

After such busy days full of running errands, a family decided to visit Cracker Barrel and have a nice dinner. But as we already know, being out with kids doesn’t always turn out as expected. 

Now the story of their trip to the restaurant has gone viral and people are praising the waitress who served them for her compassion and kindness. 

Jamie Mathew Heustess’s son Ian has autism and as she says, things are hard sometimes, especially when they are out. Jamie often shares with her friends how she manages to cope with Ian’s behavior when he experiences a meltdown in public. 

This time, they really had a busy day as Ian had a karate lesson and they had taken a trip to Walmart. 

Along with a photo she posted, Jamie wrote:

We had gotten drinks at Cracker Barrel, but not ordered yet. The reason for his meltdown? A Finding Dory toy that has mystery figurines…..Dad bought him 2. Neither had Nemo. Cue meltdown… he does not understand it is the luck of the draw. His cries escalate….making it impossible to think straight. So…..i am sitting waiting on a to go order while Daddy takes him home…….Autism is not easy…..some days it totally sucks…. 😭😭

Chris, Jamie’s husband took Ian out and they were about to head home when the waitress came to them to see whether they wanted to order anything. According to Jamie, “it was probably her 5th of 6th time stopping by the table.”

That’s when Jamie started crying and told the waitress whose name was Kailyn how her day was a rough one and how most of her days are more or less tiring.

Kailyn seemed to know exactly what to do in order to cheer this mother. Jamie said:

“About 15 minutes later, out comes my server with my bag of dinner. She smiled and told me that my dinner had been taken care of, no need for payment.
I started crying all over again.
I asked if she was sure and she reassured me it was taken care of, not to worry.
I cried walking out, sure the other customers and employees thought I was crazy.”

This kind waitress went an extra mile and wrote something really beautiful on a note that she attached on the paper bag. The inspiring and encouraging note said:

“Your child is amazing. Mommy, be strong. Keep your head up. You are doing a great job. Have a great night. Your server, Kailyn.”

Kailyn’s manager learned of her touching gesture and how she planned on paying for the family’s dinner with her own money, so he stepped in and took care of the bill himself. 

“She left me the words I needed to hear, that I think EVERY MOM needs to hear. Their caring and thoughtfulness did not go unnoticed…
My note from Kailyn is now hanging on my fridge, for those moments I need to be reminded of the kindness of strangers.”

This lovely story is just a reminder that many times, all it takes for someone’s day to get brighter are words of encouragement and support. 

Please share this story with your friends and family

Jimmy Kimmel Asks People Whether Homo Sapiens Should Be Saved, And The Answers Show Human Level Of Stupidity

By
Monica Pop

A recent and pretty much shocking report published by the United Nations states how the number of plants and animals in danger of extinction is more than one million.

The reason? Human’s activity and lack of interest for saving the planet. The extinctions are taking place at an “unprecedented” rate and they are likely to affect and threaten humanity itself. But do we really care? 

One of our favorite hosts, Jimmy Kimmel, gives us the answer to this in the most hilarious, yet saddest and most concerning way possible. Speaking of the UN report, he took to the streets of LA and asked people whether homo sapiens, aka humans, should be saved from extinction. What people had to say is cringeworthy to watch. 

This video is basically all you need to know about America’s educational system. One would have expected for grown-ups to know better. However, all these answers Kimmy got as a response are so devastating that we would assume we are a nation of under-educated people whose basic knowledge on math, history, and science is on the level of an average 12-year-old. 

People are saying how Jimmy’s crew probably interviewed a large number of people and than just made a video of these selected few. But if that’s not the case, I guess we really are doomed as homo sapiens. 

The thing is that none of the people who spoke in front of the camera had any idea of what homo sapiens might be. But they still decided to answer the question and seemed confident in what they had to say. I don’t think saying “I don’t know” is that embarrassing like speaking on a subject you don’t know anything about. One person was honest enough to say, “I don’t know what a homo sapien is. If they’re going extinct, that’s very sad. But at the end of the day, I don’t care.”

Another person said how she’s seen a homo sapien once while at the zoo. She even went further explaining how he was “pretty big, gorilla looking” and was apparently “picking his whatchadilly.” Well, let’s say she was likely describing a human here. 

Below are just some of the comments on the video.

Do you believe this really speaks of the human level of stupidity?

Grandpa Gets Audited And Fires Back at The IRS in The Best Way Possible

There is one thing in life that you should remember, and that’s to never mess with old people. They’ve been here long enough to know how things work. A grandpa was called to the IRS office, but he came with a brilliant plant. You are going to love this one. The IRS decides to audit Grandpa, and summons him to the IRS office. The IRS auditor was not surprised when Grandpa showed up with his attorney. The auditor said, “Well, sir, you have an extravagant lifestyle and no full-time employment, which you explain by saying that you win money gambling. I’m not sure the IRS finds that believable.” “I’m a great gambler, and I can prove it,” says Grandpa. “How about a demonstration?” The auditor thinks for a moment and says, “OK. Go ahead.” Grandpa says, “I’ll bet you a thousand dollars that I can bite my own eye.” The auditor thinks a moment and says, “It’s a bet.” Grandpa removes his glass eye and bites it. The auditor’s jaw drops. Grandpa says, “Now, I’ll bet you two thousand dollars that I can bite my other eye.” The auditor can tell Grandpa isn’t blind, so he takes the bet. Grandpa removes his dentures and bites his good eye. The stunned auditor now realizes he has wagered and lost three grand, with Grandpa’s attorney as a witness. He starts to get nervous. “Want to go double or nothing?” Grandpa asks. “I’ll bet you six thousand dollars that I can stand on one side of your desk, and pee into that wastebasket on the other side, and never get a drop anywhere in between.” The auditor, twice burned, is cautious now, but he looks carefully and decides there’s no way this old guy could possibly manage that stunt, so he agrees again. Grandpa stands beside the desk and unzips his pants, but although he strains mightily, he can’t make the stream reach the wastebasket on the other side, so he pretty much urinates all over the auditor’s desk. The auditor leaps with joy, realizing that he has just turned a major loss into a huge win. But Grandpa’s attorney moans and puts his head in his hands. “Are you OK?” the auditor asks. “Not really,” says the attorney. “This morning, when Grandpa told me he’d been summoned for an audit, he bet me twenty-five thousand dollars that he could come in here and pee all over your desk and that you’d be happy about it.”

Farmer Brings Rooster To A Movie Theater And An Old Lady’s Reaction Is Going Viral

Just when you think you’ve seen it all, life surprises you and you figure out there are still a bunch of things you are yet to discover. What an old lady at the movie theatre got to see for the first time ever is going to make you laugh. This is definitely a must read. A farmer decided he wanted to go to town and see a movie. The ticket agent asked, sir, what’s that on your shoulder?” The old farmer said, “That’s my pet rooster chuck. Wherever I go, chuck goes.” “I’m sorry sir,” said the ticket agent. “We can’t allow animals in the theatre.” The old farmer went around the corner and stuffed chuck down his overalls. Then he returned to the booth, bought a ticket, and entered the theatre. He sat down next to two old widows named Mildred and Marge. The movie started and the rooster began to squirm. The old farmer unbuttoned his fly so chuck could stick his head out and watch the movie. “Marge,” whispered Mildred. “What?” said Marge. “I think the guy next to me is a pervert.” “What makes you think so?” asked Marge. “He undid his pants and he has his thing out,” whispered Mildred. “Well, don’t worry about it”, said Marge. “At our age we’ve seen ’em all” “I thought so too,” said Mildred, “But this one’s eatin’ my popcorn!”

Enraged dad shares pics of daughter’s ex boyfriend and puts bounty on his head

Abuse does not discriminate and everyone can become a victim of domestic violence. Escaping from the hands of the abuser is not always easy. Many times those affected are afraid to speak and even if they do, this issue is many times overlooked and denied.  

The victims should be encouraged to gather courage and ask for help, because if the abuse lasts for too long, it may result with severe physical and mental consequences, or even death. 

When a girl named Chelsea Simmons was brutally beaten by her now ex boyfriend, the injuries she suffered were so severe that she lost the sight on her left eye. Her face and body were all covered in bruises and she was on the brink of death. 

Chelsea’s father was furious and was determined to do everything in his power to make the attacker pay for what he did. He released his pictures and put bounty on his head. 

Cedric Powe, Chelsea’s ex has a criminal history, including an arrest of domestic abuse and obstruction of justice. He has also violated several orders of protection. 

This incident that took place back in 2015 left Chelsea traumatized and scared for her life. 

“Apparently he choked her until she passed out, brought her back, then choked her again and continually stomped on her head,” explained Chelsea’s stepmother, Melissa Zack.

“She’s scared and she probably will be forever.”

After he attacked Chelsea, Powe fled to the south side of St. Louis.

This wasn’t the first time for this young lady to be hurt by this vicious man. Back in 2013, he kidnapped her and demanded cash from her family to release her. 

“He needs to be caught so that this doesn’t happen to anyone else, and I don’t have to worry about it happening to her ever again,” said Melissa Zack.

The $500 reward that Chelsea’s father offered for valuable information about Powe helped the authorities locate him and arrest him. 

He was charged with attempted first-degree murder, and domestic violence after which he was sentenced to 14 years in jail. Additionally, he has to serve 4-years of parole and pay $1,352.60 in restitution.

Chelsea was eventually able to put this ordeal in the past and is now happily married with a daughter. She had all the support from her family and it helped her start her life again and be happy.
