Mom And Disabled Husband Receive Horrible Note At Olive Garden

Very often, people are mean and pretty judgmental. When we shape our opinions about someone based solely on their looks, without really knowing anything about that person, do we ever think of the consequences of that ignorant attitude of ours? I guess the answer to this question is a big no.

Before we say anything about those random strangers we get to meet every day on our way to work or home, we should always have in mind that things aren’t always as they appear.

This is how one person or people’s act affected Kionna Montazeri and her family and ruined their otherwise perfect day.

As they got out of the Olive Garden restaurant, they headed towards the vehicle and were in a good mood, but then, the note someone put on their car wiped the smiles off their faces.

It read, “Disabled? No. Just your big fat asses.”

Kionna and her husband Dusty were horrified and rushed to take that note off the car before their eight-year-old daughter could read what it said. But, ti was too late as she saw the words that left her wondering what her parents did in order to be offended like that. Her mother was willing to give her the answer and teach her a valuable lesson along the way. She told her how people do such things because they are rude and inconsiderate and don’t care about other people’s feelings. And that was something the girl should never be like.

Kionna’s post of the incident vent viral and we believe it’s a must read.

“To the person/persons that left this note on my car at the Olive Garden on Memorial in OKC today, I’d like to say thank you!”

“Your misguided and uninformed attempt to shame me and my family provided an opportunity to teach my 8 year old daughter a lesson. Upon seeing this note, she said ‘Mom, why would someone do that? They don’t even know us.’”

“This coming from a little girl who’s daddy will never get to walk her down the aisle, because, he is in fact disabled. So we explained to her that some people just have hate in their hearts. We further explained how your actions can deeply affect others around you, and how she should always be conscious of others feelings.”

“I explained that she was right. These people didn’t know us. They didn’t know that my husband has Muscular Dystrophy and has struggled with it his entire life. They didn’t know that even though his doctors advised him to go into a wheelchair years ago, he refused, and instead, remained on his own two feet until he finally fell for the last time, blowing out both knees and breaking an ankle. They didn’t understand that we’ve spent the last 2 years learning to adjust to a life in which he can’t even stand up to get in and out of a car.”

“They didn’t see that I’ve torn my rotator cuff lifting on him to assist him in his transitions. They have no idea that he already lives in constant pain, and that their hurtful words would only add to that. They didn’t know that the reason that he has a belly is because there are no stomach muscles left to hold everything in tight.”

“They didn’t know that our 8 year old already struggles to understand why her daddy can’t run and play with her the way other daddies do. They just didn’t know. And because they didn’t know, they allowed the hate in their hearts to get the better of them.”

“So again, I’d just like to say Thank You.”

“Your ignorance provided a wonderful opportunity for me and my husband, who have struggled and survived and come out stronger in the last couple of years, to not only teach our daughter a valuable lesson, but provided another opportunity for us to overcome and to be thankful for the blessings that continue to come our way!”

We hope that whoever wrote that note would read Kionna’s post and realize how their act made this family feel. This story is just another prove that we should never judge a book by its cover.

Homeless man hears fiery crash, drops sign and starts plucking folks from cars

It’s in the humans nature to judge others based on their physical appearance. Many times we label someone as good or bad without being aware of their life story and the obstacles they had to face during their lifetime.

Darin Barton has been a homeless man ever since he was involved in an accident back in July 2014. The crash between a light rail train and a car left him injured and unable to find a home. This man lives with the help of kind-hearted people for whom he says are not that many. Great number of passersby and drivers don’t even notice him. But Darin is someone who’d always offer help to another person and even animal in need.

Darin spends most of his days at a guardrail along the busy interstate off-ramp in Denver, asking for food or money.

For those who do notice Darin, he has a message to deliver; a sign he carries that says:

“Have a blessed day”.

Just last month, April 2019, Darin was casually staying at his spot when he witnessed one of the most destructive accidents taking place right before his eyes. A huge trailed smashed into vehicles, sparking a fire that claimed multiple lives.

Minutes after, officers and firefighters came at the scene and were desperately trying to extinguish the flames.

Darin didn’t even hesitate a bit before he rushed and tried getting some of the injured people to safety. This homeless man has a big heart and he would never just sit there and watch lives being lost. His bravery made him a hometown hero.

“As soon as I [saw] flames, I headed under the bridge, grabbed three or four people out of a couple cars,” Barton said.

Other people like Darin, who somehow found themselves there at the time of the crash also offered help.

When the story of his deed spread around, many people contacted Fox 31, asking how to get in touch with Darin in order to offer him help.

“Don’t judge people based on how they might look or whether or not they have a home or whatever, because that person that you looked down on might just save your life,” one of his supporters told KDVR.

This story is a perfect example of how we should never judge people because of their social status. Many humans are poor, but rich in the heart, and Darin is definitely one of them.

Teen Surprises Terminally Ill Dad with His Last Dying Wish

Seeing their children growing and becoming successful people is the best thing parents can experience during their lifetime. Watching them finish high-school or graduate means the world to so many moms and dads out there. For one father named Terry Borowski who was terminally ill, the wish of seeing his son walking across the stage and getting his diploma seemed like a distant and unreachable dream. For his son Darien, who is a student at the Oak Harbor High School, having his father near him on his special day was of great importance, too. But both the father and the son were aware it could never happen.

Terry was spending his last days at Stein Hospice in Sandusky, Ohio. During his stay there, he told the medical staff how he was afraid he would miss his son’s graduation, and it was obvious it made him extremely unhappy.

“That was the first thing that he said when he started getting a little weaker, ‘I don’t think I’m going to make it for graduation,’” recalled Terry’s wife, Michelle, to Port Clinton News Herald.

Jennifer DeWitt who is a social worker learned of Terry’s wish and she was determined to make it happen, no matter what it took. She reached Darien’s school, told them how things were, and asked them to do a “mock” graduation for the student and his family. The school knew doing so would mean the world to the Borowskis and they were more than happy to step in.

Principal Cheryl Schell, school board president Jeff Dornbusch and district superintendent Guy Parmigian prepared an early commencement for Darien. School’s staff and students took part in it and made it look as authentic as possible. Honestly, they nailed it.

“We’ll do anything for our kids and their families,” Schell stated. “This was a no-brainer. I couldn’t think of anything more important than to be here today.”

It wasn’t the first time for the hospice center to host such an important ceremony, as the school would never turn down such request as making a terminally ill parent happy seeing their child graduate.

“They would absolutely drop everything for something this important,” Dornbusch said of colleagues Schell and Parmigian. “This is just important as the May graduation date.”

What the hospice center and the school did was really awesome. Terry’s heart was filled with joy seeing Darien wearing the green hat. Both institutions were praised for their selfless effort of granting a dying man’s his final wish.

“I’m so proud of you,”

Terry told his son as he asked him to throw the hat in the air.

“Just seeing his father’s face — it made us very happy we’re here today,” Schell added. “As parents, we just want to know our kids are going to be OK. That they have a future and can take care of themselves. We have no doubt about that with Darien.”

Redhead, a 28-year-old girl from West Midlands, UK, suffered from colitis a great part of her life. It’s a condition in which intestinal lining becomes inflamed. She has visited numerous doctors throughout the years, but in the final year of her life she started feeling worse with each passing day. The hospital staff never though she had a serious illness believing her weight loss and the severe abdominal pain she experienced were a result of her condition so they didn’t take things serious enough. It wasn’t until her stomach got swollen and she could feel a lump that they ran tests on her. Unfortunately, the results were devastating. Redhead had bowel cancer.

“We were all devastated when we were told it was bowel cancer and that it was incurable,” said her younger sister, Emily.

At that point, it had already spread on more than 70 percent of her liver. The cancer was terminal and the girl refused the treatment she was offered.

“She said she’d rather have less time and feel healthier in herself so that’s what she chose to do,” said Emily.

During those short months she got to live, Redhead shared her struggles and her journey on the social media. She wanted to raise awareness of the type of cancer she had.

Redhead was a brave young girl who was determined to live her final days to the fullest. Her story was heartbreaking, but her will and her spirit were never broken. She would share images of her surrounded by the people who loved her to the moon and back and who were her support during her ordeal.

She posted photos of the happy moments she was given and the celebrations of Christmas, New Year, and her birthday together with her family.

Once she lost all her strength, her sister Emily took over the social media updates.

“We are so proud of the fight she’s put up for the last few months, she has been so brave but she has said she’s ready to die now and no longer be in pain,” said Emily.

Emily and her loving sister who lost her life way too early sent a clear message to everyone who suffers from colitis. Having this condition may lead to more serious illnesses, so getting regular check-ups is crucial for the prevention of developing cancer.

Boy with no arms forced to leave restaurant after manager has a few things to say

William Bancroft is a lovely three-year-old boy who was born without arms. However, that doesn’t prevent him to enjoy his life to the fullest. What’s most, he even eats all by himself using his feet.

Recently, he and his family decided to have breakfast at IHOP in Hot Springs, Ark. They were all excited to be going there for the first time and William just couldn’t wait to have his pancake.

Unfortunately, what was supposed to be a fun day with the family, turned into a bitter experience. Namely, as William tried to pick up the syrup dispenser, the place’s manager approached their table and his words left everyone outraged and overwhelmed.

The boy was refused to sit on the table and eat with his feet although that’s the only possible way for him to do so. William’s mother, Alexis Bancroft, told the manager how she always makes her son wash his feet before he eats, but the rude man insisted that if the boy continued touching things with his feet it would be considered a “health department issue.”

Alexis later told Newsweek how she asked the manager whether he goes around the restaurant asking people if they have washed their hands or not.

The manager realized that what he did was profoundly wrong and came back to apologize, but it was way too late. The words had been spoken and William was hurt. The family left IHOP because of the way the boy was treated.

The rest of the guests witnessed the whole thing and they were all sorry for what the family had to endure. Many left the place in support of the Bancrofts.

Alexis said how this was the first time for her son to be discriminated for not having arms. Other restaurants don’t have a problem with the way he eats. On the contrary, most people are amazed that William can feed himself.

Once they were home, Alexis took it to social media to share the unpleasant experience. It was then when the manager tried to say sorry again by writing to her on Facebook. The rest of the employees told Alexis how they were ashamed of their manager’s act.

“Me and a few other servers were completely SHOCKED that our manager did that,” one of the workers wrote.

IHOP released a statement saying their restaurants won’t accept or tolerate any type of discrimination. They also added, “The franchisee at this location has been in touch with the guest to express his sincerest apologies and will continue to be in communication with her to resolve the issue.” 

We hope William would never again be treated with such disrespect. We are glad his mother stood for him the way she did.

Tim Tebow’s Mom Shares Incredible Moment She Refused Doctor’s Order to Abort Her Son

“Bringing Faith, Hope and Love to those needing a brighter day in their darkest hour of need” is what the famous athlete Tim Tebow lives by. His deeds are kind, generous, and inspire others to become better people. Because of individuals like him, this world becomes a better place. The foundation he set up back in 2010 is there to “serve children and share God’s love…by fighting for those who cannot fight for themselves.”

He practices his faith every single day and believes he owes his success to God.

Tim’s parents were missionaries and they were the ones who brought Christianity and the trust in God close to his heart. He has been a devoted believer ever since he was a young boy. In fact, his mother and father say how Tim was a “miracle baby” because he got into this world despite the doctors’ insistence that his mom Pam Tebow had to terminate the pregnancy.

Doctors’ warnings came after Pam, who was 37 at the time, was diagnosed with amoebic dysentery for which she had to take strong medications. They feared how it could have a deteriorating effect on the unborn child. However, Robert Tebow, Tim’s father, had seen so many abortions in the Philippines that it affected him a great deal. He was feeling grief and sadness, and he prayed to God to give him a son whom he would name Timothy and who would spread the word of God. So when they learned Pam was pregnant, they decided to ignore doctors’ warnings and keep the baby. They asked God for things to turn right during the whole time, and he gave them “the miracle baby” in return for their strong faith.

“We didn’t really have to make a decision at that time,” she said during an interview with Focus on the Family. “We had made it years previous because we were determined to trust the Lord with the children that He would give us. And if God called me to give up my life, then He would take care of my family.”

Although he was a bit malnourished at birth, Tim soon became a healthy baby. Eventually, he turned into one of the most significant philanthropists of our time who makes a difference into many children’s’ lives.

Pam is a proud mother who knows her loving son is on the right path. She now shares their story in hopes of inspiring women to choose life for their unborn babies. Recently, she was a guest at the fundraising event New Beginnings Mercy House in Monroe, Michigan — a Christian crisis pregnancy center and spoke of the importance of supporting these kinds of centers.

The center’s website states,

“We must show the women the love of Christ by offering a loving home and practical support in every aspect of their needs during this time of crisis.”

Only in 2018, this center helped the birth of around 50 to 75 babies, and the number in these first months of 2019 is 18.

“It takes a lot of faith to stand for life today,” Pam said, according to Monroe News. “Abortion is everywhere and affects everyone. You’re exercising that big-faith muscle when you support this ministry.”

She then spoke about God and how he was merciful to her family, giving them Tim in their life despite the circumstances of his birth.

“He gives us so many opportunities to invest in heavenly things. We need to invest in pro-life organizations mainly because they save lives and invest in women and moms,” Pam said. “And we get a blessing, too.”

If the Tebows accepted the doctors’ advice some 31 years ago, the world wouldn’t have Tim, and we all know how much he has done and is still doing for those in need of help.

She said, “We need to stand up for these special kids — they are a gift from the Lord.”

Pam’s new book, “Ripple Effects” is set to be released on May 7, 2019.

Lisa West Williams was waiting to get off the plane at the airport in Raleigh, North Carolina, never assuming the delay was due to an event that broke her heart and brought tears in her eyes.

That day the body of a fallen soldier was brought home to his wife and family. Along with the video of the touching scene she posted on her Facebook account, Williams wrote, “There was not a dry eye around me.” Honestly, seeing it, we couldn’t help but cry, too.

The members of the military put their life on the line every single day, all for the sake of our freedom, and we can never thank these people enough for the sacrifice they make.

U.S. Army soldier and Warrant Officer Shawn Thomas lost his life during his deployment in Niger, Africa on February 2 as a result of the injuries he suffered in an accident with a non-combat vehicle.

Thomas had been deployed before and spent some time serving in Iraq and Afghanistan. As a Green Beret of the 1st Battalion and 3rd Special Forces Group, he worked in civil affairs and trained troops against terrorism. His dedication and service had been awarded with numerous awards among which two Bronze Stars.

When the casket with Thomas’ body arrived at the airport, covered with the Star Spangled Banner, his wife, T.J. was there to say the hardest goodbye.

The grieving but proud wife kneeled down and put her hand on the casket. Seeing that, onlookers felt heartbroken. They could see right there, in front of their very own eyes just how much military men and women, as well as their families, sacrifice.

Williams’ video spread very quickly and once it got to T.J. she contacted Williams and thanked her for sharing it with the whole nation.

Many thanked Thomas for his service and sent prayers to his family.

“Brave soldier, we thank you for your life and service to our country. God bless you,” one commentator wrote.

The 3rd Special Forces Group also expressed sorrow for the loss of their soldier:

“Our deepest condolences go out to Warrant Officer Thomas’ family, friends and colleagues.”

We would also like to express our gratitude for everything brave officer Shawn Thomas did for our country. Our thoughts and prayers are with his wife and children.
