Andrea Bocelli is one of the most famous Italian singers and producers who is known for his specific voice most people call ‘angelic’.
This legendary singer has been partially blind since childhood, but lost his sight completely after he was hit in the eye at a football game. Unfortunately, despite the great number of procedures he had undergone, the doctors could do nothing to restore his sight.
After this, he had found his peace and comfort in the music that he now shares with his son. Recently, Andrea and his son Matteo released the song ‘Fall on me’ from the new album ‘Si’. Their joined performance is so touching that it heals the soul.

In just a few days, this amazing performance was seen by over a million people who fell in love with the lyrics and the music video that depicts how deep the father-son bond can be.
Andrea says their voices are very different but the listener can enjoy how they blend together perfectly and are harmonized all along.
YouTube
The video is very emotional and shows intimate photos of the family, from the time Matteo was just a little boy and how they spend time together. Bocelli describes the whole album as “a celebration of love, family, faith, and hope”. And this song really shows all this to those who listened to it. The fans were so thrilled that one of the comments regarding this duo performing together was, “The smile that Andrea makes when Matteo starts to sing was so heartwarming. Love the song. It brought me to tears.”

‘Fall on me’ is the first duet between the father and the son, but it triggered so many emotions that we hope there will be more to come.
“All gave some, Some gave all!” Our military men and women are the reason why we all get to live the way we do, freely. These brave people fought and many died to protect our nation and we can never thank them enough for their sacrifice.
One teen from Illinois, Aubrey Headon, paid tribute to 25 fallen soldiers, members of the 3rd Battalion, in a very meaningful and touching way. This girl designed and crafted her prom dress all by her self and although it looks normal from afar, it is everything but ordinary.

The dress has red and white ribbons with the names of the fallen soldiers printed on them.
One of the ribbons is black and is dedicated to the teen’s friend Tyler Smith who drowned and was part of the Illinois Army National Guard. Smith was also a former student at Aubrey’s school, Rochelle Township High School in Rochelle, Illinois.

Aubrey spent two years making her dress and she was inspired to create it after she met Gretchen Catherwood, mother of a fallen soldier. Gretchen founded the Darkhorse Lodge, an organization that helps combat veterans, and Audrey was so fascinated with this grieving mother’s work that she felt she should contribute in honoring the heroes herself.
Speaking to Inside Edition, the young lady said, “I don’t want them to fade into nothing.”
Aubrey’s dress resembles the American flag and everyone who has seen it is fascinated by the way it looks and the story it tells. “That’s one beautifully thought out dress. Thank you for respecting the fallen on a special day for you ♡,” one person wrote. “She truly understands where her freedom comes from,” someone else added. Many agree Aubrey is a true patriot and that more young people should be like her and show their respect whenever possible.
Take a look at Aubrey’s dress and story in the video below. She truly is an awesome young lady.
Little kids can never be trusted to be left on their own, sometimes not even for a second, because they are very likely to get themselves into trouble when no one’s watching. From accidentally breaking things around the house, to throwing things around and making a mess, one can never assume what they would do next. But that’s just a normal phase every child goes through. I am sure you remember some of the stupid things you did when you were just a kid yourself.
Sweet Ansleigh went a step further and cut all her hair off while her dad wasn’t paying a close eye on her so she ended up with a mullet.

From her facial expression and her teary eyes we can say she is aware she wasn’t supposed to cut her hair on her own. However, she provides the perfect reason for her action and says she was inspired by Jessica. When dad says that Miss Jessica is allowed to cut people’s hair because she went to school for it, Ansleigh “accuses” him for not letting her practice enough and people simply can’t contain their laughter over the girl’s reasoning.
However, everything turns out fine at the end after they come to an agreement that daddy will let her practice cutting hair more often in the future when she gets older.

Although it has been 19 years since America was a target of the terrorist attack that took place on September 11 in which around 3.000 people lost their life, we still remember it like it was yesterday.
9/11 stands for sorrow and grief, but it also shows the patriotism of our citizens. On that day, everyone stood together against those who harmed the country and its people. The whole world was mourning the lost lives and people from every corner of the Earth empathized with the Americans.
In those tough times, the American brand Budweiser aired a commercial that touched the hearts of many. It’s so emotional, it makes even the toughest people cry.
YouTube
The commercial features the company’s signature horses, the Clydesdales, who are shown making their way through New York City. As they pass the Statue of Liberty and cross the Brooklyn Bridge, they stop at the park and gaze at the skyline.
Finally, they get to the spot where once the Twin Towers stood and bow their heads in respect.
YouTube
The message they spread is ‘never forget and don’t ever let that happen again.’
The commercial only aired again on the 10th anniversary of the attack. “We feel our 9/11 Clydesdales tribute ad is very special,” Paul Chibe, VP-marketing at Anheuser-Busch, said in a statement. “We were proud to re-air the spot on Sunday, the 10th anniversary, as a way to help raise awareness of the fundraising campaign for the National September 11 Memorial & Museum. The subtle changes in the ad were intended to reflect the passing of time, and the most important point, that we should never forget those lost and affected by 9/11.”

Even in the year of 2020, homelessness remains one of the biggest social issues many countries, among which America face. The paradox of this problem lies in the fact that as the state’s economy grows stronger, the number of people on the streets gets higher. Some of the reasons why individuals find themselves without a roof over their head are the lack of affordable housing, unemployment, poverty, and low wages.
Many times these people end up spending their days under bridges, sleeping on cardboard boxes, depending on the generosity of kindhearted people who are willing to give them a buck or two or buy them something to eat.

The following is the story of a homeless man who got to learn what it feels like to be treated with respect. Because no matter how sad it sounds, homeless people lack the respect of the rest of the members of the society.
When he entered into Huey’s, a popular restaurant in Memphis, Tennessee the guy hoped to get something to eat.
The Huey’s bartender, Beck, could see how hungry the man was, so he greeted him saying: “What can I get you man?”
The homeless guy asked whether he could get anything for the $2 he had in his pocket.

Beck didn’t skip a beat. He asked,
“What you want man, a burger? Do you want fries or onion rings?”
The man was so touched that he only said “Good bless you” as the bartender proceeded taking his order.
“What do you want to drink?”
He could have get anything, but he chose water. It was 100 degrees that day and the man was obviously very thirsty.
Dawn who witnessed the whole thing unfolding in front of her later took to Facebook to talk about the encounter. She wrote:
“They gave the food to him to go and I swear when it came out it was way more than he ordered or paid for … I say cheers to Beck for having a HEART.”
Facebook/Dawn Wilt
Dawn went further saying how Beck resembled the bartender from the classic movie “It’s a Wonderful Life,” where every time a bell rings, an angel gets his wings.
She then added: “Beck, you get the wings today. Made my heart smile.”
Many people took their time to comment on this amazingly kind gesture, praising Beck for his heart of gold. One woman said how we should all take a lesson from this story, and we can’t agree more.

Dubbed the “Rap God,” Eminem, born Marshal Matters, has won the world some thirty years ago and is still an icon. He stunned many with his ability to rattle off lyrics with such a speed that impresses even today. His songs are meaningful and deep and most of them express his personal struggles a lot of people can relate to.

Throughout the years, he accomplished a lot and won numerous awards, but this rapper considers being a good dad his greatest accomplishment in life. He has three daughters, Hailie, his biological child whom he had with his school sweetheart, infamous Kimberly Anne “Kim” Scott. His adopted daughter Whitney Scott Matters is Hailie’s half-sister and Eminem’s ex’s biological child. After Kim and her then boyfriend started using substances and got addicted, Eminem stepped in for Whitney. The rapper’s second adopted daughter is Alaina Marie Mathers, whose mom is Kim’s twin sister, Dawn Scott.
YouTube
Eminem is a devoted father and very proud of his girls.
His daughter Hailie was raised in Detroit, Michigan, and her time was split between her parents’ after the two separated. Despite her dad being one of the most famous names in the world, she never really lived under the spotlight. Hailie did appear in some of her dad’s music spots, like “Mockingbird,” when she was still just a little child, but never followed into his footsteps.

Today, she’s 24 years old and has an Instagram account with more than 2 million followers. Hailie is an influencer who often posts beauty tips. Although she never posts photos of her dad, she says the two are extremely close.
“She has been my main source of drive and motivation, especially when she was first born. I did not have a career yet, I did not have money, I did not have a place to live. I think that kicked me in the a *** harder knowing, ‘How am I going to raise her?”, he said in 2002.
“She’s always been the driving force for me to stay busy, stay focused, always been my number one reason for fear of failure. I can’t fail. I can’t have her grow up and not be able to say, ‘My dad succeeded”.
Eminem only spoke of Hailie in a handful of interviews because he wanted to protect her and keep her out of the public eye. Recently, however, he went on Mike Tyson’s podcast, “Hotboxin’ with Mike Tyson,” and spoke of his fatherhood.
Asked about Hailie, he said he couldn’t believe how fast she grew up. “No babies, she has a boyfriend, but she’s doing good. She’s made me proud for sure. She’s graduated from college.”
“I have a niece that I have helped raised, too, pretty much like a daughter to me, and she is 26,” he said of his daughters on the podcast. “And then I have a younger one that’s 17 now. So when I think about my accomplishments like that’s probably the thing that I’m the most proud of, you know, is that — is being able to raise kids.”
Source close to the family said that Hailie and boyfriend Evan McClintock started dating four years ago and are serious.
“Evan studied economics and is a keen golfer, there’s a huge difference! Hailie’s family have welcomed Evan, they are a fantastic young couple who love cosy nights in rather than hard partying,” the source told Daily Mail.
Eminem is an incredible father and an example that no matter what life brings and no matter the troubled upbringing one can turn into an amazing parent just the way he did. His daughters are happy to have such father figure in their lives.
Sir Sean Connery is the first actor to have portrayed the intelligence officer James Bond on film. The Scottish actor and producer who is now retired marked an era in the movie industry. His talent and incredible looks dubbed him one of the most handsome individuals of Hollywood. Today, Sir Connery is 90 years old and enjoys his days off-screen.
The role of agent 007 earned Sir Connery numerous awards, but it was his role in The Untouchables that brought him an Academy Awards.
With a career spanning over 55 years, Sir Connery decided to call it quits after his last movie The League of Gentlemen was panned by critics. Sir Connery said how it was his team and the director to blame for the failure. “The experience had a great influence on me, it made me think about showbiz. I get fed up dealing with idiots,” he was cited saying at The Times newspaper.
BoxOfficeProphets even wrote how that movie was the reason why Sir Connery decided to retire. However, he didn’t announce his retirement until three years later.
In 2006, he received the American Film Institute’s lifetime achievement award.

Asked whether he’s thinking of accepting a role in a film in the future, Sir Connery said he could consider taking part in an Indiana Jones movie, but after some serious talks with Steven Spielberg about playing Indiana Jones’ father, Dr. Henry in Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull he still decided not to get out of retirement. The film got positive reviews by the critics but Sir Connery didn’t regret not being part of it as he seems to be having awesome time not working any longer.

However, those who know him best believe that despite his age, Sir Connery would still consider filming if he is offered a role he would love. Sir Michael Caine spoke of his long time friend with The Telegraph newspaper and was reported saying, “He (Connery) didn’t want to play small parts about old men and they weren’t offering him any young parts in romantic leads.”
Throughout the years, this amazing actor offered a lot to his fans and to Hollywood in general and we believe he deserves to take some rest from acting.
