This October is very special for one of our favorite actresses Kate Hudson who we love not only because of her remarkable acting skills, but her optimism and vibrant personality. She and partner Danny Fujikawa announced the birth of their baby daughter on the 2nd of this month.
Kate is already a mother of two handsome boys, Ryder, 14, and Bingham, 7, and this is the first girl in the family so everyone was happy for her arrival, and now that she is here everyone is thrilled to meet her.
There is no doubt that Kate will be a wonderful mother to her baby girl, as she is to her sons. And speaking of the boys, we were touched by the photos the older son posted online. It is clear that they are excited to be around their little sister.

Hudson shared a three-slide Instagram, revealing the baby’s birth date and her name:
‘”We have decided to name our daughter Rani (pronounced Ronnie) after her grandfather, Ron Fujikawa. Ron was the most special man who we all miss dearly. To name her after him is an honor.
Everyone is doing well and happy as can be. Our family thanks you for all the love and blessings that have been sent our way and we send ours right back.”
The happy couple’s relatives and friends flocked to their home to see Rani. Her brothers expressed their joy over Rani’s arrival by holding her in their hands, singing lullabies, and looking at her with admiration which can be seen from the photos posted on Ryder’s Instagram page.

In Ryder, Rani will have a friend for life.

We are sure this beautiful girl will be lucky to grow up into a lady like her mother and that she will have her grandmother’s (Goldie Hawn) smile.
But before that, we hope she’ll have a wonderful childhood, surrounded with her parents and her two brothers who love her to the moon and back.

Compassion and empathy make the World go round and whenever we hear of people doing good deeds, our faith in humanity restores.
What the football players of Foothill High School did for their classmate Ashley Adamietz vowed the world.
This young girl who was recently diagnosed with Chronic Myeloid Leukemia felt “shocked, overwhelmed, and speechless” after her classmates showed their support for Ashley. That Friday night is something she will never forget.
Ashley undergoes daily chemotherapy treatments ever since she was diagnosed, and her friends understand how horrible that is, so they make sure she knows they are by her side.
The football captain Ryan came up with the idea of all the 57 players to lay an orange rose at Ashley’s feet after the game. Orange is the color for leukemia awareness.
‘“She’s part of the Cougar family,”
Ryan said,
‘“so why not let her know that we’re all here for her. We are. So I wanted to let that be known to everybody, and especially to her, for what she’s going through.”
This act was caught on video and shared online. People from around the world who got to see the emotional moment, praised the football players.
Ashley declined the interview requests because she is undergoing treatments. However, she spoke to her coach who says she really appreciates all the support.
Joey Brown, the head football Coach said:
‘“We took care of family business before we took care of business on the field.”
When we feel that we are ready to take the ‘next step’ with someone we love, it means fully committing to that person forever, especially during rough times and difficulties. Tying the knot means having someone in our life who would be there to support us no matter what, someone who would always take our side, someone who would like and hate the same things as we do, and for the same reasons. Marriage is sacred and lucky are those who have chosen to spend their life with the right person.
Unfortunately, nowadays many couples reach for divorce even after the first obstacle they come across, but that only means they didn’t understand the true meaning of marriage.
On the other hand, there are couples like Jon and Marci Newman whose relationship and commitment to one another is something beyond beautiful and inspiring. This is their story.

It all started when Marci learned that she had thyroid cancer. Her life turned upside down, and everyone around her was affected by her condition. She had to undergo radiation treatments that required from her to be isolated in her room. Her husband, however, couldn’t imagine spending his days without her so he did something truly amazing that made his daughter Mackenna so touched that she shared it with everyone.
Both Mackenna and her mother Marci are truly lucky to have a person like their father and husband in their life.
newsner.com
He really wanted to be by his wife’s side during her tough times, so he found a way to support her without being exposed to the radiation.
“My mom has to stay in her room in isolation for her cancer radiation so my dad set up a desk at her door to keep her company and I’m crying,” Mackenna wrote on Twitter.
Once Mackenna uploaded the photo, many people shared it with their friends.
This wasn’t the first time for Jon to be doing this, actually he sits outside Marci’s room the whole time. Marci says her husband is a loving person who supports her all along.
“Jon goes to every doctor’s appointment, every blood test, every surgery, every radiation. And as you can see, if he can’t be by my side he is as close as he can get,” Marci told The Independent.
newsner.com
We really hope there are more people like Jon out there who never leave their spouse’s side no matter how difficult life gets. These two are an example of what a marriage should be all about, and that’s love, devotion and never giving up.
Our prayers are with Marci.
‘‘hope is being able to see that there is light despite all of the darkness’.

And as they say, good things come to those who wait. The news about the pregnancy was received with excitement and disbelief. After so much time, the Walton’s prayers were finally heard. However, the real surprise came when they were told they were about to welcome not one, not two, but six babies.

The girls arrived in December of 1983. All of them were perfectly healthy and the delivery went as planned.

Hannah, Ruth, Luci, Kate, Jennie and Sarah brought endless joy and happiness in the life of their parents. They were the most famous sisters in Liverpool and often caught the eye of the media who was interested to learn how this family lives.

When Janet recalls the first years of the life of her miracle babies, she says how she and her husband were so busy with the kids that they barely slept. Actually, she remembers shutting their eyes for only an hour or two, and that was it. However, Janet never complained because having those girls was a dream come true.

Janet says,
‘“We lived through those early years in a blur. And the only regret is that there wasn’t enough time to enjoy them as much as we’d have liked.”
Graham added,
‘“I loved those early years so much. I couldn’t say one phase was better than the others”.

The girls have been very close ever since they were born. They are not only sisters, but best friends too. They always rely on each other during tough times.

One of the sisters, Sarah, gave birth to an adorable baby girl in 2014, who is loved to the moon and back by her grandparents and her five aunts.

Everyone is excited for the baby, and she will definitely be spoiled by all that attention she is about to receive.
‘“It flooded into me the moment I saw the pictures from her first scan”.

Seeing the Walton’s together after such a long time is simply overwhelming.

We hope Janet and Graham will soon become grandparents to more grandchildren who will bring additional happiness in their life.
Britain’s got talent is a show where we get to see performers of every kind. Some of them are just random people who only want to feel how it’s like to be on stage, and others wow us with their stunning skills.
During one of the episodes, a group of nine girls took the stage and the way they looked left everyone in surprise. The girls wore historical military costumes and had their hair pin-rolled. Their vocal skills were amazing and had the crowd cheering during this one of a kind performance.
They were positioned in the form of V and the visual effects only made the whole show even more spectacular.
YouTube
The girls’ group is known as The D-Day Darlings and they mainly perform classic World War II songs. This time, they chose the Vera Lynn’s song “The White Cliffs of Dover” which was originally written decades ago and made into a 1994 motion picture.
The effect was even greater with the audience waving red, blue, and white glow sticks.
YouTube
This song still evokes deep patriotic feelings at those who listen to it.
‘”I’ll never forget the people I met braving those angry skies. I remember well as the shadows fell the light of hope in their eyes. And though I’m far away I still can hear them say ‘bombs up.'”
The voices of the nine members of this unique group blend perfectly and are a real pleasure for the ear. Back in 2008, when they started performing, the group consisted of only three members. Founding member Katie has many family ties to the armed forces including her grandfather Clifford Storr who was an RAF Flight Navigator for the Lancaster Bomber.
YouTube
So far, the group has made many appearances at different historical events. At the end of their performance on Britain’s got talent they’ve prepared a real show for the judges and the audience.
Many war veterans took the stage along with the girls. They were wearing their uniforms and their presence made everyone emotional.
The applause the group and their guests on the stage received was loud and it was obvious the show they prepared was indeed one of a kind and worth the great finale.

This is definitely a must watch! Enjoy and share it with friends.
The joy of welcoming a new baby in the family can’t be compared to any other feeling. So when Jeff and Natasha found out they will be parents soon, they couldn’t hide their happiness. Having that little creature in their life was everything they ever wanted. The two were looking forward to creating memories and spending days filled with laughter with the little one.
When their daughter finally arrived, they felt like the happiest people on Earth, until a devastating tragedy took place. Their daughter died just three weeks after she was born. Now all those plans for the future were crushed and replaced with lots of tears and sadness.
However, the anger of the tragic loss grew bigger once these parents were informed of the cause of death, and the fact that it could possibly have been prevented.
Facebook/Jeff Gober
Besides being crushed and grieving the loss of his daughter, he knew he had to take the time to share his story with the parents-to-be in hopes of preventing any other baby to share his daughter’s faith.
In an emotional (and educational) post, Jeff said:
‘”I’ve been pretty silent since Mallory’s death. It’s taken me over a month now to write this, but if any good can come from her passing and prevent someone else from experiencing the heartache, then I would be remiss not to make an effort.
If you have a new baby, or will be around a new baby, wash your hands. A lot.
If anyone wants to hold your baby, make sure they wash their hands first. Then make them do it again…”
Facebook/Jeff Gober
‘”HSV-1, most commonly known as the virus behind cold sores, is a form of herpes (Herpes Simplex Virus-1). It is EXTREMELY common, and the World Health Organization estimates that 67% of all humans on Earth are infected. To make things worse, many people who are infected will never show symptoms in their lifetime and probably don’t even know they have it. For newborns, it is more than likely fatal, as was the case for Mallory.
You might think it should have been easy to diagnose. Surely someone with an oozing cold sore kissed her on the mouth, right? Mallory was never in contact with a person who had an active cold sore. Never. Nobody ever kissed her on the mouth. In spite of that, she caught HSV-1 within her first week of life and we had to watch her die slowly for nearly 2 weeks. Mallory could not keep her hands out of her mouth and eyes and she was constantly sucking on her fingers [see picture above]], so it’s almost certain that the virus got onto her hands at some point. It is possible to be contagious even without an active cold sore.
She had no symptoms beyond a high fever for most of the first week, and by the time blisters showed up it was probably too late for the antivirals to be effective. Considering that more than half the world has the cold sore virus, we don’t understand why so few infants die from the disease or why our beautiful daughter Mallory was the unlucky statistic, but that’s the way the world works I suppose.
Please, if you’re reading this, be extra diligent about washing your hands around newborns. Statistically speaking, you’re probably infected with HSV-1 whether you know it or not.”
Please remember to always wash your hands before touching a newborn baby. This father wants to spread the word of the consequences of not doing so.

We hope Jeff and Natasha will get the chance of becoming parents soon.
Please share their story with your friends.
Who wouldn’t want to be named the school’s homecoming royalty? Getting the crown means your contribution and achievements didn’t go unnoticed by the educational organization. It’s a great honor indeed.
However, the homecoming of Douglas County High School was quite different and touching. When the homecoming king ripped the sash and removed the crown, the crowd was left in awe when they understood why he did that.
YouTubeAt the game, Brad Cooley was crowned royalty along with the 17-year-old Meghan who suffers from a form of cerebral palsy that prevents her from speaking on her own. Megan has a best friend named Ian who was also part of the high school reunion. What is special about Ian is that he’s got Down Syndrome. Meghan and Ian have been best of friends from the moment they met 12 years ago and the two were planning on attending the homecoming dance party together.
Once the party started, Cooley knew there was someone out there who deserved the title of a king more than he did. So he took his crown off and gave it to Ian.
‘”Something didn’t feel right to me, it didn’t feel like I was the one who was supposed to have it. There was just something in me that was like, I just felt like it would be better deserved for someone else.”
No one could hold their tears back when they learned what this young man did from Meghan and Ian. Meghan’s mom said:
‘”It was amazing to have just the sweetness of sharing that moment, it was really amazing.”
YouTube
And Jim, Ian’s father, also commented Cooley’s act of kindness. This made his son unbelievably happy.
‘”It was really overwhelming, so it is a very, very special, it was a special night and a special memory and we’re going to hold on to that one.”
The act came just at the right time. Unfortunately, Ian’s mother passed away two months before that party took place. She lost her battle with cancer, and although the family was still grieving her loss, they were certain she would have been overjoyed if she had had the chance to witness this special moment. Both Ian and his father know that although she is not physically present, she will always live in their hearts.
‘”She was my hero before she was diagnosed. Yeah she was, yep, she was and she still is and our hope now is that with the help of a whole team of other people the work that she did and just make the world a better place not just for Ian, but for everybody.”
YouTube
Both families appreciate what Brad Cooley did because its a perfect way of teaching people how important it is for these people to be included in the community. And the smiles on their faces definitely speak inclusion. Compassionate people like Cooley make this World a better place.
When Sarah Kelleher Steppling saw her newborn son sleeping in a quite catchy position it resembled something she’d seen before. She found the situation so heartwarming and compelling that she simply had to share it with everyone she knew.
But, little did she expect that her discovery will go viral in the blink of an eye. People though this was the sweetest thing ever. Once you see her post, you’ll understand why everyone is crazy about it.
Facebook/Sarah Kelleher Steppling
She shared her story with Love What Matters, where she posted the amazing pictures you are about to see side-by-side, and discussed motherhood as well.
This is what Sarah wrote:
“The first ultrasound we had was done at 18 weeks, and it got all the bone structure, so he looked just like Skeletor or the Krampus! So when I saw this sweet baby-faced image that was taken at almost 39 weeks I did think it was adorable, but frankly, I was just glad he didn’t have horns! It’s unusual to get such clear images that late in the game, but the woman doing the ultrasound really knew her way around a uterus. We were super happy to get such great images. I didn’t immediately make the connection to the ultrasound when I first noticed he slept with his arms up. I saw the ultrasound hanging on my mother-in-law’s fridge when he was several weeks old and that’s when it hit me.He still does that! He is the king of taking it easy.”Facebook/Sarah Kelleher Steppling“I made the side-by-side comparison and was amazed by how similar they were in every little detail. I decided to post it to Reddit because I thought it was interesting content someone else might enjoy seeing. Also, it’s nice to communicate with the outside world after countless days inside nursing a newborn. Sometimes it feels like nothing exists except for me, my baby, my boobs, and the couch! Having my son has been life-changing. I just look at him and start to cry sometimes because I love him so much. He’s a chill little dude. Keep him fed, changed, and cuddled and he’s happy. My mom says my husband Ross and I don’t know how lucky we got with him.He had unexplained hemolytic anemia and severe prolonged jaundice for the first month of his life, which is why he’s resting on that blue light. We had doctor visits every 1-2 days to monitor his blood and a 48-hour stay at the children’s hospital, but he took it all like a champ.Now, he’s almost 3 months old and starting to wake up from his newborn phase and wants to play and interact. His dad loves to make up songs for him on guitar and we change song lyrics to fit his name in as many times as we can.Every time he smiles at me I melt. He just started doing this gentle chuckle thing the other day and my heart almost exploded. He really is as laid back as he looks. We try to anticipate his needs, so he really never has much reason to cry for very long. We consider ourselves very lucky and try and not to take for granted that all this good humor could run out at any time!I’m looking forward to seeing what kind of kid this baby turns into. I can’t wait to hear what his voice sounds like. My husband played guitar to my pregnant belly all the time, and I was in ‘Sister Act’ the musical during my 2nd trimester, so we are curious to see if any of that rubbed off on him and if he is musically inclined when he’s older. And, of course, I’m looking forward to him saying Mommy for the first time!”
It’s unbelievable how this baby chose his best and most comfortable sleeping position even while the womb. We are so glad we got to see the adorable pictures.
