Dying boy with terminal cancer says ‘ Dad I gotta quit’ – Dad makes promise that leaves him choking back tears

As a parent, there are some things that we simply never want to have to discuss with our children, without a doubt the toughest is having a discussion with your child regarding his passing away! Sadly though that is just what this father had to do! Bill Kohler was just in this position with his son, Ayden, who has been found to have a diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma, which is as serious as it sounds! This illness, DIPG for short is a very rare condition that causes a problem with the bain stem, commonly patients don’t live for more than a year after diagnosis of this condition. HIs son’s case was even more severe and he didn’t just have one but he had two brain tumors, he knew that he was dying, what a brave boy! His father was a medic and had completed his tour in Iraq, Kohler, so he knew a lot more than the average parent would about these things, especially about what it was like to lose people, he just didn’t expect it to be his son he was going to lose! He really did try everything he could to get his son to some clinical trials, as it was likely his best chance of either beating it or at least getting longer then he would have without any treatment, but he got turned down at every turn. He said:

“I was a medic in the war, you know, and you fix things …And this was something I couldn’t even touch.”

There and then he made a promise to himself: If he was not able to cure his son’s disease then he would at least do everything in his power to make the time he had left as meaningful and enjoyable as he could. He met WWE wrestling stars, spent time chatting to celebrity chef Guy Fieri using FaceTime, he hunting in the woods with his dad, and joined team members of the York Generals, a semi-professional football team to help them with a fundraiser. His mother said:

“We looked at the day, and we looked at how we could make that day the best we could …Every day.”

There came the times when it was all becoming too much for him and he just couldn’t even walk, eat or even breathe very well… such sad times, but he manages to do so much! He then said the words to his father, his father hoped he would never have to hear those words from his son:

“Dad, I gotta quit!”

His dad answered his son, but there was only one way he could find the strength to do it, he said:

“I’ll make you a promise. If you’ve fought as much as you can and as hard as you can and you feel you fought that hard, I promise you it’s OK to quit.”

Ayden fought hard and carried on, for seven months and seven days from the time he had his diagnosis, his fight was over, he had only one final request: He said in the end:

“If people gather to remember me, I want them to dance, sing, and take group pictures …If anyone asks how I want to be remembered, please say happy, funny, athletic, wise, fighter, caring, and selfless.”

Ayden has passed away sadly, but his legacy lives on, donation made in his name to the Johns Hopkins Kimmel Cancer Center continue to pay for the much-needed research against DIPG! Please SHARE this amazing and important story with your friends and family!

Thief Attempts To Steal Car, Woman Laughs When She Sees Note He Left For Her!

A Reddit user posted this quite hilariously funny set of pictures of a note that was left in the glove box of her vehicle, as you will see looking at them, this ridiculous note, not surprisingly went completely viral! The woman whose car it was has a terrible problem, her car endlessly keeps getting stolen, and she absolutely knows it to be the biggest problem for her. The car gets stolen so much that she decided to do something a little different, thinking out of the box, she typed a note and put it in the glove box of the car, in the case that it was stolen again, wow what an idea! The note she typed makes a kind request the thief leave the car in a secure area, with her preference being, in the neighborhood so she can get it back… She had some really awful experiences with towing companies and she would not want to deal with them again, but she prefers that a stranger borrows her car and leaves it safe for her, at least! Have a read of the note below and see why it’s going viral online: The note reads like this:

” Hello!

If you’re reading this, you are probably stealing my car. I’m a nice person and likely would have given you a ride, but obviously, we’re past that.

I would love to afford a car that doesn’t get stolen and burglarized all the time, but I’m broke and this is what I’m stuck with. So, you got me. Again.

You’re not going to get into trouble for stealing my car. As long as you don’t f**k around and kill a pedestrian, you’ll just leave this somewhere and go about your business. Nobody investigates this tomfoolery.

One quick favor: please do not leave my car somewhere it will get towed. If I have to deal with one more f**king impound lot holding my stolen shi**y Honda for ransom, I am going to lose my mind. And my car, because I can’t afford to keep bailing it out of car jail. If I had any money I would just go buy a goddamned car that wasn’t constantly getting stolen in the first place…

cont…

Please just leave my old piece of sh*t car in a neighborhood or something. There’s a note in this envelope; just stick it on the dash or under the wiper. A passerby will see it eventually and call me and then I can come get my car. No cops, no questions asked; I’m not even mad at you.

It’s win-win: I don’t have to deal with police reports, insurance claims, and tow trucks, and you don’t have to feel like a jerk for ruining the month of a nice person.

There are countless safe places to leave this thing. Drive the car, take my first aid kit and emergency supplies in the trunk (my stereo is worthless) and just leave this motherf**ker in front of someone’s house when you’re done with it.

Thank you. Enjoy your ride.

PS if you don’t mind committing another misdemeanor tonight, feel free to go throw a brick through the window of (redacted) Towing in Vancouver. They are literally the f**king worst. Thanks. Have a good night. “

To clarify, this note has worked… Please SHARE this hilarious and ingenious note with others!

Most of us, before we go to a mechanic have a try at resolving our own problems, and don’t immediately seek professional help. This mom of four children thought that she might be able to save a few bucks and do exactly that, by herself. She popped the hood of her car, turned in the engine and revved it up, she didn’t realize that one simple and small mistake would change her life forever, what a shock!
YouTube
Alon is now telling everyone about what happened to her, and to warn others too, to be careful and to the small details that could be overlooked all too easily. A lesson to take to heart, and remember well… Alon realized that her car was having problems, that’s when it all started really, she didn’t have any money to pay out on the car, the expense of a mechanic was too much, so she popped the hood and stuck her head under… As she looked under the hood she was trying to look for obvious problems, to see where she could find a problem, but quite the contrary not only was she unsuccessful, but her life was in danger!
YouTube
Her head was pulled down, in the blink of an eye, she was in devastating severe pain, with no idea what had just happened to her, she just knew it was bad, she had never felt pain like it ever before. Her kids, fortunately, heard her cries for help and came to her rescue. If it wasn’t for their fast actions then there was a good chance that she could have died that day. She was rushed to the hospital, they said that her mistake nearly cost her life, she didn’t even think about it before she stuck her head under the hood though.
YouTube
Such a simple thing, she is warning other women not to make the same mistake, before it’s too late, Alton has to endure many surgeries and transplants to bring her back to something resembling how she was before! This tiny, but a significant mistake had cost thousands in medical bills, and nearly left her kids without a mom, and once she was freed from the car it needed even more work than before. Watch the video below to learn about her terrible mistake and make sure you and anyone you know doesn’t make the same mistake too:

Toddler Calls 911, It’s A Cry For Help Like No Other She Had Ever Seen!

By

Right from an early stage in life children are taught about how to call 911 in emergency situations. When an amazingly adorable little two-year-old girl, called Aaliyah Garrett, from South Carolina, needed help right then and there, she took action… So she called that emergency number that everyone knows by heart, and a dispatcher from the Greenville County Sheriff’s Office responded to her. The dispatcher really could not believe what he was hearing, Aaliyah was so incredibly desperate, and she really did need a helping hand… But why was that? Then as the dispatcher took the call, and answered the phone, but all that could be heard was muffled noises on the other end of the line. The dispatcher repeated, ‘Hello?’ …but could only just about make out on the other end a tiny little voice of a toddler, he immediately at that point sent an officer to the scene to investigate. The first to arrive there was Deputy Martha Lohnes, but when she put her first foot inside the house, the toddler came running toward her in a scruffy mess, so disheveled she could hardly believe it! She very quickly had a realization that this was not at all like any other call she’d ever seen before in the line of duty. In Aaliyah’s home was also her grandfather, he had not at all realized that she had made the call and was completely stunned when he learned what had happened with his little granddaughter. Her mom had always told her that if there was ant time that there was an emergency that she must call 911 straight away for help, and she did exactly that! The Deputy stood in the doorway and even though the grandfather insisted that there was nothing wrong, the Deputy was making her own assessment of the situation. Deputy Lohnes had quickly made a decision that there was trouble brewing up and she responded to her call for help… The questions remain, what did the Deputy do? How was her grandfather involved? Find this all out in the video below, and SHARE with everyone you know!

When Twin Girls Are Born They Are Full Of Joy, The The Doctor Says “I’m Sorry”

By
Kelly White

There are some things that when we hear them we are getting prepared for bad news, one of those things is when we hear people say “I’m sorry”, and it generally means they are apologizing in advance for something bad! In really bad cases when people say it, then it’s a little like a buzz term since there is a huge probability that following it something life-changing is going to happen, forever! When Jodi Parry and her partner Matt heard those words in the hospital about six years ago, their hearts practically lept, fluttered then missed several beats! For the two of them, it was the second time around having children, they were both pretty scared about it, but also quite excited too, after a healthy son they were joyful about bringing two little angles, twin girls into the world! Sadly though their happiness would take a beating and uncertainty would catch them up as the stress built as the births came around finally! The doctor took the couple into a small waiting room and quietly spoke to them, their world would begin to spin out of control, he started:

“I’m sorry…”

The two of them were completely taken back as the doctor explained, hardly able to process what was happening to them and what it would mean, the two girls, Abigail and Isobel, had been diagnosed with a condition that would affect them forever… Down’s syndrome… They had been trying for another baby for quite some time, even though they had a lovely little boy, called Finlay. Mom Jodi sadly had a miscarriage not long after Finlay’s birth and thought that she was prepared for anything at all! Unfortunately, though the words of the doctor shocked her, she was not prepared for this!
Facebook / JodiParry
It wasn’t so much the actual words but more the way the news was given to her, Jodi said that the doctor made it sound like it was a lifetime of doom, like an everlasting punishment. The two girls were born early and had to stay in the intensive care unit for a full four weeks, things were looking pretty bad at this point. Jodie said:

“That day, I didn’t feel like a mother. I just felt lost and confused. I had bleak visions of the future. I thought we’d be carers until we dropped dead”

Facebook / JodiParry
From a statistical standpoint, Abigail and Isobel are really rare, the odds of giving birth to twins who are both Down’s Syndrome is one in a million, so super special they are! Doctors said that the little girls were born with many health issues, Abigail is deaf on one side, in one ear, and Isobel had a hole in her heart… None of what they were hearing was really what they wanted to hear, but they listened and took it all in, Matt an Jodi had no choice, they had to get on and get stuck in and do it as the reality of the situation sunk in. Even more sadly there was such little information about children with Down’s Syndrom, no one even explained that they could live a normal life like other children and everything else…
Facebook / JodiParry
They didn’t really realize for a little while because nobody explained to them that their family could really live a pretty normal life together! This meant that Matt and Jodi were petrified about how things were going to work for them all. They didn’t even know that their girls would be able to go to school like normal children, or if they would be able to talk!
Facebook / JodiParry
The family had to find out and do everything themselves, the hard way… Some sympathized and felt sorry for the children, but Abigail and Isobel got along just fine with massive amounts of love and affection by those closest to their family.
Facebook / JodiParry
Abigail said: “When the doctor took us to one side to give us the results, he said he was sorry that Abigail and Isobel had Down’s syndrome. To this day I’ll never know what he was sorry for” “And I think if I could ever meet him again, I would like to show him Abigail and Isobel and say, ‘Why did you say sorry because we wouldn’t change Abigail and Isobel for the world now.” Present day, six years after the birth, the girls have proven the real prejudices that exist in the world through ignorance and small-mindedness!
Facebook / JodiParry
Another human being is another human being, regardless of anything else, and everyone deserves a real chance at life, these two children are perfect examples of that, for sure! Looking at this lovely family who at all could say that they are not completely happy? No one!
Facebook / JodiParry
There are important lessons we can learn from Matt and Jodi’s experiences: You really can be happier than you think you can, whatever your situation, even when society tells you that you are less than perfect, you can be very happy indeed!
Facebook / JodiParry
Anyone with Down’s Syndrome should have the same opportunities as anyone else in life, SHARE and spread the word!

Parents Mourn Son, He Took His Life At 12-Years-Old Over School Bullying.

By

Our children should have their lives filled with joy and play, laughter, and feelings of security and fun, to be children without the worries of life, experiencing new and happy things each day. Andrew Leach was 12-years-old, and he had his whole life ahead of him, but for Andrew, he felt like he could not go on anymore. The young boy, having seen nothing of life chose to end his life and his personal nightmare in the worse way possible on March 6. His brother found him in the garage, such a deeply upsetting tragedy! Andy was putting up with being bullied, and it only got worse as time went on, he told his classmates that he thought he might be bisexual… His father said to the news that he thought that because he was open it only made other children pick on him even more. His Mother said that:

he was called… “fat, ugly and useless”

The other children at the at Southaven Middle School picked on him, they didn’t care in the least bit about his feelings at all!
Facebook / CherylHudson
It all went too far, he even got death threats from other children at the school whilst he was in the school toilets, how incredibly low and inhumane! His dad said:

“Kids were telling him, ‘We’re gonna put hands on you. You’re not going to make it out of this bathroom.’ Things of that nature”

The family told the school and complained about the treatment of their son, but none of the teachers could stop the bullying from happening. In the end, Andy, in the sixth grade, thought enough was enough, he couldn’t stand it anymore. He was found dead in the garage, he had hung himself, his brother, 16-years-old and also suffering from bullying had found him, such sadness for the family, but especially for him, seeing him like he did.
Facebook / CherylHudson
And’s mom, Cheryl Hudson, said that her son left a farewell letter to his family, he revealed in the letter about his plan to end his life. Since he died his mom has shared many heartbreaking stories about her son on Facebook, she also tells about how Andy loved to cook even, many things he wouldn’t be able to do anymore! Cheryl writes:

“Another story just came to mind. Andy loved to learn how to cook. He wasn’t always good at it but he loved it. I came home from work one day (this happened several times) and sitting on my nightstand would be something he made. Once, it was sliced potatoes that were dang near raw lol But he always thought about things he could do for me, help me with, he loved doing special things for me”

Facebook / CherylHudson
In yet another post hi mom shared; she wrote:

“I also remember each time I’d give him a bath. I’d get him out of the tub and stand him up on the toilet to dry him off. One night he said, “Mommy, I don’t want to eat anymore.” I said “what?? Why baby?” And he said “if I eat I’ll get bigger. And then you won’t be able to hold me anymore.” God I miss my baby so much”

Facebook / CherylHudson
Andy’s parents have spoken out to the media following their son’s death, they want to raise awareness and use the tragedy to educate and help others about the dangers of bullying. Cheryl said to the news:

“I am on a crusade that I plan to not stop”

His mom hopes that Andy’s death won’t be in vain, that more and more people will join the fight against bullying. Cheryl writes on her Facebook:

“Please share!! We need people to attend this. If your child is being bullied, you need to be here. If you know children being bullied, you need to be here. If you have children growing up and beginning school, you need to be here. Let’s allow Andy’s Voice to make a difference!! Share this event and tag everyone you know!”

Facebook / CherylHudson
Sadly Andy’s story is not an isolated incident, there are many similar cases. Way too many children end up taking their lives each year because of being bullied by peers. DeSoto County School said (In a statement relating to Andy’s case):

“All bullying reports are treated with the utmost importance. Students and parents are encouraged to contact school officials anytime there are bullying concerns, and they can use a link on the DeSoto County Schools website if they would prefer to report bullying incidents anonymously. All claims are investigated thoroughly, and school counselors are trained to help students and intervene when they are aware of a situation. Our hearts go out to this young student’s friends and family.”

Facebook / CherylHudson
Bullying is a terrible and deeply disturbing thing to experience, to be pushed to such extreme limits, it’s so sad! Let Andy’s story give us a reminder and huge wake-up call. All of us must do whatever we can to stop bullying, wherever and whatever stop bullying! Bullying can happen anywhere, let’s all join together and stop bullying once and for all! Please help and SHARE this with everyone you know!
