It’s not unusual for a lost cat or a dog to end up in someone’s yard, but when it comes to wild animals, we don’t get to witness something like that very often. Well, that is why this story of a baby fawn that wandered into a family’s yard is that special.

The Herrings were getting back home from a canoe trip and were looking forward to taking some rest from the busy and the fun day, but just as they got near their home, they spotted a fawn. The little one was probably lost, and the family expected from it to get scared from them and run away, but to their surprise, just the opposite happened.

The baby deer approached Maya, the family’s little daughter. The sight of the two getting so close and Maya petting the baby was an incredible to witness. We are so glad dad caught everything on tape.

Now, after the little ones had some bonding time together, everyone was aware it was about time for them to try and find the baby’s mother. So Maya and her family headed into the woods while the fawn followed. Finally, the baby found a comfortable place.

Maya’s dad, Brad, got back to the fawn to get it some food and water and the family checked on it the following day. It looked like the baby failed to track its mother, but none lost hope.

A couple of days later, the Herrings spotted a family of deer. A mom, a dad, and two fawns. They were certain one of them was Maya’s friend and they were glad the family was reunited.

Brad thought sharing the video of his daughter and the fawn would bring many smiles at many people, and he was completely right. More than 6.8 million people have seen the unique encounter.

You can take a look at it below. It’s no wonder Maya was dubbed “deer whisperer” after this was filmed.

Isn’t it incredible that we sometimes get to witness young and talented movie stars or singers grow up right before our eyes? We get to see their beginning, breakthroughs, ambitions, successes and even failures.

If you are a fan of ice skating, you are very likely to have witnessed the rise of then 7-year-old Gia Kokotakis. Yes, she was that young when she started competing against girls as old as 14.

The incredible video of her performance is from 2009 LA Open Artistic, where Gia got the 3rd place. From then on, she only became better and better, and today, at the age of 18, she’s still competing professionally and is hoping to be part of the 2022 Olympics.

Little Gia’s performance started as soon as the melody of the song ‘You Raise Me Up’ filled the place. She confidently stood on one leg while keeping her head and her arms high. Needless to say, she resembled a true professional.

Spectators had a hard time believing such a young lady could show so much gracefulness as they saw her twisting and gliding around the ring.

With the chorus of the song, Gia showed a bold move; she leaped into the air, spanned, and then touched the floor in a perfect manner. It was obvious she put a lot of time and effort into this performance because every move was done flawlessly.

As the song came to an end, this talented girl slid forward with one knee on the ground and finished her performance. The crowd couldn’t stop cheering. Gia stole their hearts and took their breath away. It was enough evidence for her that she did everything right. That, and the fact that the video has since been seen more than 5 million times.

Gia continued skating. The year after her memorable performance, she took part in the La Jolla Open Preliminary Freeskate Competition, skating on the music of the soundtrack from the movie The Mask of Zorro. With this performance, Gia showed that she improved her moves even further. Although she was just eight years old, her name sounded familiar to those who were into ice skating.

This performance was worth the first place and the judges saw that.

Today, Gia is 18 years old and she still competes professionally. We honestly hope she will fulfill all her dreams, including the one about taking part in the Olympics. She skates with such passion, which not only didn’t fade away over the years but grew stronger, that she deserves only the best in the years to come.

Below is the video of her first professional competition. Don’t forget to share it with yur friends if you loved it as much as we did.

Man enjoys the South Ontario nature and bites into an apple in the woods, not expecting mother deer to bring her fawn over for a bite

A man who decided to take a trip into the deep forest of Ontario was left stunned by the amazing thing he experienced. He decided to take a rest and enjoy the mesmerizing nature around him. The tall trees, the fresh air, and the vivid green color of the grass make this place a true Heaven on Earth. Besides random humans who visit this place in hopes of finding their peace and tranquility away from the busy and crowded cities, it’s also a home of many animals. If you are lucky, they may even come out from their shelter and treat you with their presence.

YouTube

That’s exactly what this man stumbled upon. He found himself in a middle of a fairytale-like scene surrounded by a gorgeous deer family. Him taking a loud bite of the apple he carried with him and munching on it was enough for the lovely creatures to appear and satisfy their curiosity of who could it be to visit their home. The most unusual thing was that the mother let her fawns approach the man. He was overjoyed to see the lovely family so close to him but had to hide his excitement and avoid any sudden movements that could frighten the animals.

He quickly tossed them pieces of his food which they were happy to try. Deer are not afraid of humans because in this forest they are protected by law and are used to having guests around occasionally.

YouTube

This might be one of the most remarkable footage of human-animal interactions we’ve ever seen. It’s pure magic how the deer family got so close to the man who had his camera rolling and managed to catch the breathtaking encounter on tape.

If you ever have the chance to visit this forest just grab it, because it’s a once in a life time opportunity to share your lunch with magnificent creatures like deer.

Please share the video with your friends.

Mom urges parents not to let anyone kiss their babies after her 1-year-old son ended up in hospital with life-threatening rash

Little kids and babies are the most adorable creatures on Earth, so it doesn’t really come as a surprise that we feel the urge to hug them and give them a kiss when we see them. The thing is that these souls are very gentle and fragile, and sometimes, the behavior we manifest around them can negatively affect them without us even being aware of that.

One mother from Grimsby, North Lincolnshire, UK spoke of the ordeal her 1-year-old son had to go through because of a kiss.

Demi Boswell took to the social media to share the story of how little Cohen ended up in the hospital with a severe rush after a person with a herpes gave him a kiss. His immune system couldn’t easily fight against the virus that spread on him so the rush covered all his body.

The worried mom wants everyone to know that herpes can be fatal to babies and pleads people not to kiss little children if they have cold sores. She hopes no other child should ever experience what Cohen did.

Thankfully, Cohen is now doing better.

“People might not want to see these photos but I think it’s important I show them,” she wrote. “Cohen got blue lighted to hospital with doctors already waiting to take him in.”

“Even if you can’t see a cold sore it could be underlying so you have no idea you have one. I kiss my boy on the lips every day all day but this has definitely opened my eyes now,” she added.

Next time you get around a little baby, please make sure to wash your hands before you touch them or kiss them. Their immune system is yet to develop so they are likely to catch viruses.

Mom announces birth of identical triplets by sharing a photo of her dyed placenta

Creating a life is something incredible all by itself, but creating more than one in a single body is a true miracle. A mom from Australia named Sammi Edes was over the moon when she learned she was carrying triplets. Her babies were identical and doctors said the odds of conceiving with identical triplets was one in 60,000 to one in 200 million pregnancies.

Facebook / Sammi Edes

Although she was overjoyed by the thought of giving birth to three babies, Edes had her fears because she knew that carrying triplets wasn’t easy. And she was right. When she was in the 20th week of pregnancy, doctors told her how one of her babies wasn’t developing as the rest. Namely, Geoffrey and Hunter had the lion’s share, while Thomas was only getting a tiny portion of the oxygen, the blood, and the much needed nutrients.

Sadly, that meant that Thomas should be aborted, otherwise he could affect the growt of his siblings as well. That, however, wasn’t an option for Edes. She was determined to do all in her power to keep all her babies.

When she reached week 30, Edes gave birth to her miracle bundles of joy. They were all born healthy and this mom couldn’t wait to hold them in her arms.

Facebook / Sammi Edes

Doctors were left in disbelief and couldn’t understand how Thomas managed to get to 30 weeks and 6 days. To show just how miraculous his survival really was, they painted Edes’ placenta with three different colors, each showing the amount of nutrients the babies were getting. It clearly shows just how little Thomas was receiving (yellow color) in comparison to his brothers.

The photo was soon shared by Edes and it caught the attention of people from basically the whole world.

“I thought I would share this picture with all of you guys as it’s something we as mums don’t really ever get to see and this is our babies’ lifeline when inside us. It’s pretty amazing to think that was keeping them alive,” the proud mommy wrote.

Isn’t this incredible and beautiful beyond words? If you know miracles do happen and if you believe this is one of them please share this story.

Hollywood star Robert Redford speaks of his mother and reveals his biggest regret

By

Robert Redford’s career of over 60 years isn’t due to his incredible acting skills and diversity of screen characterizations only, but his looks and his heart of gold as well.

To remain one of the best in the industry for so many years isn’t something many actors can be proud of, but for Redford, each and every film and project has been a huge success.

Besides being best known for roles in acclaimed films like ‘The Sting’ and ‘The Way We Were,’ Redford is also a director, entrepreneur, and producer. He’s the founder of the Sundance Institute and Film Festival in Utah. Back in 2014, Time Magazine placed him on the list Time 100, naming him one of the “Most Influential People in the World.”

Redford has always had a very special bond with his mother. She was someone he could always turn to and someone who believed in him unconditionally. During the Sundance Film Festival Utah Women’s Leadership Celebration in 2018, he said, “The one person who stood behind me was my mother,” and he meant that, because Martha Hart was the perfect mother.

“Why do I feel this strong connection to women?” he then asked. “I think it probably has to do with my mom.”

Redford would always describe her as an adventurous and a ‘glass-half full’ person. Sadly, she passed away when Redford was 18 years old, and he has been missing her ever since because she was that one special person in his life who always made it complete.

“She believed that all things considered, she just had faith that I had something in me that was going to turn out OK,” he told Womans World.

Redford feels extremely sorry she didn’t live to see his worldwide success as an actor, director, and mostly as a person committed to environmental causes.

“She had a hemorrhage tied to a blood disorder she got after losing twin girls at birth 10 years after I was born.” But she wanted a big family badly and got pregnant again despite being told that another pregnancy could be life-threatening.

With so many accomplishments under his belt, one would say that Redford’s life is perfect, which isn’t far from the truth to be honest. He, however, like most living beings has his regrets, one of which is that he never got to say “thank you” to his mom.

“I took [her] for granted because that’s the way kids were at that age,” Redford told Womans World. “My regret is that she passed away before I could thank her.”

Pinterest

After her death, Robert found comfort in marrying Lola Van Wagenen in 1958. At the time, he was just 22 years old and she was still a teenager. The two were married for 27 years and had four children together. Redford described the marriage as “life saving union” that helped him with his grief. Even today, the two remain very good friends despite he married another woman, Sibylle Szaggars, in 2009.

Robert is 83 today and still active in the film industry. Some of his latest projects are Avengers: Endgame where he appears as both actor and director, and Omniboat: A Fast Boat Fantasia where he voiced the part of Lokia the Dolphin Monster.

Robert Redford is an example of what all a celebrity should be. Charming, talented, versatile, and caring.

Mom-to-be delivers the news of being pregnant to her husband with the help of the police

Moms-to-be seem to be very creative when it comes to delivering the news of their pregnancies to their loved ones and their families. We do understand the urge to give this aspect of the pregnancy that much attention, because at the end of the day, it’s a moment to cherish.

Nikki, a mom-to-be from Texas, decided to give her husband the surprise of his life, but in a way that will make you go ‘aww.”

Namely, she asked from a friend from the Police Department to take part in the prank she was about to pull on her hubby.

As the two were driving, the officer signed them to stop. Jarred, Nikki’s husband got worried because he had no idea why he was pulled over. However, the fact that he was an acquaintance with the officer came as a relief, but that didn’t mean he was going to be let off the hook if he did something wrong.

The officer approached the vehicle and greeted Jarred, saying, “How’s it goin’? I haven’t seen you in forever, man.”

Jarred greeted him back and then asked if there’s was something wrong, to what the officer said, “I gotta be honest. The reason why I stopped you is you have a child in the car with no child seat,” he said, pointing to an empty back seat.”

Jarred was now more confused than ever. “But I don’t have a child,” he said while looking at the officer with a puzzled look.

The officer than asked him if he was sure about it while Nikki was holding the pregnancy test in her hand. Jarred was so busy trying to convince the officer that it was all a mistake that he didn’t notice what his wife was showing to him.

“We do have a child in the car with no car seat!” Nikky said while giggling. “I think that means you’re a daddy, buddy,” the officer added.

Finally, this father-to-be realized what was going on. This truly was the best surprise ever.

But, it wasn’t over yet. The officer’s partner then handed Jarred a gift. There was a teddy bear inside with the message “Dad, see you on your birthday.” Yes, Nikki’s due date was her hubby’s birthday.

Nikki decided to involve their officer friend Todd because he was in fact an important part of their life. The thing is that Jarred had been admitted to hospital in the last six months for panic and anxiety attacks and Todd was there to help.

“I actually met the officers in the video during a very traumatic panic episode in November 2016 and ever since he’s become a great advocate for my family and I,” Jarred said.

This video is beyond adorable. We wish the future parents only the best. Take a look at the surprise below.
