When a guy named Edi Okoro started dating his girlfriend Cally Read, he knew he wanted to spend the eternity with her. Well, he also knew he was ready to pop the question so he bought a mesmerizing engagement ring. But, it looked like asking her to marry him wasn’t an easy task to do as he wanted it to be something really special. So, he decided to wait for the perfect moment. Along the way, that waiting turned into an interesting game of taking pictures of Cally and the ring without her ever noticing that.

And yes, he’s willing to share those pictures with all of us. Amazing, isn’t it?

Sharing his cute story with Bored Panda, Edi said: “We met at athletics. We both competed at a very high level and traveled to competitions together. Both also ran for Birchfield Harriers AC.”

“I knew she was the one after I realized our conversations didn’t dry up and we bounced off each other.”

He also said that Cally was really close at noticing the ring at few occasions, but that never happened.

Edi shot a few videos too.

If you wonder when and why people started proposing with diamond rings, here’s the story. Back in 1477 Archduke Maximilian of Austria proposed to Mary of Burgundy with stones shaped in the form of M. But it wasn’t until the 19th century when diamonds were discovered in South Africa that ordinary people started saving for such rings to pop the question.

The trend became even more popular when the company DeBeers launched the ad that said, “A diamond if forever.”

Edi shared some great news with those following his story telling that he finally asked his loved one to marry him.

Her response was a resounding YES!

“This engagement turned out more than what I originally intended it to be,” Edi concluded. “I’m just happy that I don’t have to walk around with [the ring] anymore and keep it a secret!”

People from all over the country took their time to congratulate the couple.

The bond created between siblings is one of the strongest, but it looks like twins are connected to even deeper level. Growing up around a brother or a sister means having a best friend for life and someone you can always turn to when things get tough.

The parents of twin babies Grayson and Griffin shared a heartwarming video of their two bundles of joy ‘talking’ to each other and it’s way too cute to handle. Although the boys are way too young to be able to speak, they still found a way to communicate to one another, and it seems the two understand each other just perfectly as they can’t stop laughing at what they have to say.

We hope their connection will only grow stronger as they grow up.

You can see them speaking in the video below.

Make sure you share it with your friends and make their day.

4-year-old boy survives hit-and-run after being dragged down street by a truck

With the beauty of becoming a parent comes the constant worry for the well-being of the little ones.

Recently, one mom named Jennifer Moore experienced what every mom and dad out there fears of. Her 4-year-old child didn’t get off the bus at the bus stop where she was waiting for him.

This mom immediately knew something was wrong. She tried to keep calm and approached the bus driver who told her to look for he boy at the last stop the bus had made.

There, she came across her child lying in the middle of the road with concerned and terrified passersby gathered around him.

“When I turned the corner, my son was laying in the middle of the road with a group of people around him because a truck hit him and took off,” Jennifer said.

The truck driver stuck Joseph and dragged him down the road after which he fled the scene without even checking whether the boy was alive or not.

Jennifer just can’t understand how someone can be so cruel.

Speaking of the person who hurt her child and left him there in the middle of the road, Jennifer said: “They’re a coward, they’re an animal. They have no regards for the human race, period.”

Authorities are doing their best to solve the case and track the truck driver down, but they only have little information on who he might be. Witnesses said he was driving a blue Chevy S-10, and currently, that’s all they know.

Joseph was rushed at the nearest hospital after the accident took place and he ended up with a broken femur and severe road rash, but thankfully, he recovers pretty well.

The boy clearly remembers what happened on that day, saying how he got off at the wrong bus stop and tried to cross the road. He looked left and right and as there were no vehicles, he started walking. But then, out of the blue, the pick-up that was speeding struck him.

“He saw a blue truck coming and so he tried to run the rest of the way across the street. He said, ‘Mommy, it didn’t slow down and it knocked me over and dragged me on the ground and then I fell asleep,” Jennifer said.

We wish little Joseph well and we hope the person responsible would be soon brought to justice.

A gruesome footage of a woman stabbing a 3-year-old boy in the face has left the whole world speechless. The incident took place on the streets of Tbilisi Georgia, but the video has gone viral in a matter of days and it’s now all over the social media.

The attacker was identified as a 51-year-old woman. Her family and relatives describe her as a nice person and they can’t believe what she did, nor they know why she did it.

The poor boy who was the victim of this random attack simply found himself in the wrong place at the wrong time.

Unfortunately, the cuts across his nose and cheek were very deep and the boy had to be hospitalized.

The CCTV footage that was captured by a nearby pharmacy shows the woman walking past the victim and his family and taking the knife out very suddenly. It all happened so quickly that there wasn’t time for the parents to react in time to take the boy away. The crazy woman even tried to finish what she started as she tried to approach the scared boy again, but this time, the parents managed to stop her.

Onlookers were left in a complete shock as they couldn’t believe what had just happened in front of their eyes.

The attacker then run away but the police tracked her down the following day. She now faces up to ten years in prison if convicted.

The family of the victim claims they have never seen that woman before and just cant’t believe a complete stranger could do such horrific thing to such a young boy.

The boy underwent a surgery but will stay in the hospital until he feels better.

We pray for your full recovery brave boy!


6-year-old throws new pencil-case in the trash, so mom teaches her a lesson

Being a parent is challenging. And as kids grow old, those challenges only get tougher and tougher. No matter how much their moms and dads try to satisfy their needs, kids can be really ungrateful at times. And this type of behavior they show is not really a result of bad parenting, but it’s a period they simply go through.

A mom from Florida was looking forward to the start of the new school year and was over the moon when she finally managed to find that LOL pencil-case her little one wanted so badly. Once home, she handed it to her six-year-old daughter and expected a huge hug in return. But what she got in response, left this mother overwhelmed. Instead of saying ‘thank you,’ the girl named Presleigh did the unimaginable. She took the pencil-case and threw it in the garbage.

Mom Haley knew she taught her little one better than that, and she was determined to teach her a lesson she would never forget.

Sharing the story on Facebook, Haley wrote: “She stared at it and threw it in the trash and slammed the bedroom door. She yelled “that’s stupid, everyone in my class has that … I don’t want it anymore!” 

This was the first time for Presleigh to show such behavior as Haley has always taught her to be humble and grateful for the things she gets in life.

The mom said: “I thought I had always taught her to be grateful [and] know how lucky she was but apparently sis needed a small wake up call.”

Now, as that cool accessory that everyone was crazy about wasn’t good enough for Presleigh, Haley decided to replace it with something less cooler; a zip-lock plastic bag that she could use to keep her pencils in while at school.

Seeing her new ‘pencil-case’ made the girl realize she wanted the LOL one, but it was already too late.

“I explained to her she’s not entitled to anything special and she is taking for granted how lucky she is… I will personally deliver the nice box to a child that could benefit from it,”Haley explained.

“Maybe I over react sometimes but I would’ve done anything to have all the things she does as a child. I truly believe changing your perception [and] just being grateful can turn around any situation in life.”

Parents have to take drastic measures from time to time in order to teach their children the core values they should live by.

And we are perfectly aware the little ones believe they are being punished, but over time, they realize that everything their parents do is for their own good.

Vegan Who Sued Neighbors over Barbecue Smell Loses Court Appeal

A vegan woman from Perth, Australia, named Cilla Carden took legal action against her meat eating neighbors for making barbecue in their back yard. According to Carden, her stay at her yard became unbearable because of the smell of grilled meat and cigarettes and that made her took drastic measures. She as well complained of the neighbors’ kids running and playing outside. Speaking to 9News, she said, “It’s been devastating, it’s been turmoil, it’s been unrest, I haven’t been able to sleep.”

Carden’s case, however, wasn’t convincing and was thrown by the State Administrative Tribunal. One of her neighbors who wanted to stay anonymous says her demands ‘were proven to be not reasonable and and indeed were to the detriment of the other owners’ ability to enjoy their lots in a reasonable and acceptable manner.’

But Carden was determined to stop at nothing to regain her piece and quiet. Not only she sued them again, but this time she also asked from the nearby families to dim their patio lighting, keep their pets quiet, and stop putting many plants in the common garden.

The appeal she submitted on March 29 of this years was rejected on July 29 by Chief Justice Peter Quinlan. He said that the 400 pages of evidence were ‘well in excess of anything that might be thought to be proportionate to the issues’.

According to The tribunal, letting children play in the patio ‘didn’t constitute reasonably a nuisance.’

Now, even one of the families forbade their kids from playing basketball and moved their barbecue, Carden is still not happy and is planning on taking additional legal action.

Michael Bublé, one of our favorite musicians, has released a new song and a video that have gone viral and have parents all over the world sobbing. The touching piece of music speaks of the love parents have for their little ones and how fast they grow up and move on with their own life.

“Forever Now” triggers strong emotions. Parents’ whose kids go back to school or off to college relate to the lyrics and to the visual representation of what it really feels like to see their children become independent individuals.

The hit that was uploaded on YouTube in March of this year is a reminder that we should spend as much time with our kids as possible because time flies really fast and we may miss some of the best moments we can have with them without even being aware of it.

The video shows how a child’s room changes over the years. From the cute nursery filled with teddy bears and a bunch of toys, to a teenager’s nest.

The lyrics go like this:

“I just met you, seems like yesterday. You opened up your eyes and I recognized your face. You know that you’re the one that we’ve been waiting for; we’re going to keep you safe.”

We challenge you to watch it until the very end without sobbing.  

This really makes you think of the ‘limited’ time you get to spend with your children. So, make sure you grab every opportunity to be by their side.

“It wasn’t so long ago, we walked together and you held my hand, and now you’re getting too big to want to.”

Touching, indeed, isn’t it?
