Truth turns heads when dad and step-dad pose with daughter

Until recently, people had been very judgmental when it came to non-traditional families. It’s not that they’ve accepted it as a norm over night, but many realized that everyone should live their life as they please, even if that means two daddies or two mommies raising a child together. 

That is pretty much the case with this little princess’ family. The five-year-old Willow shares two loving fathers who love her to the moon and back and will do anything for her happiness. 

The world learned of this unusually beautiful family just recently when the photos of the sweet photoshoot of Dylan Lenox and David Mengon with their daughter saw the light of the Internet.

Dylan is very happy he got the chance to welcome beautiful Willow in his life. She is the daughter he always wanted and now he proudly goes with the name of “Bonus Dad.” “Daddy David” on the other hand is happy his daughter will have another male influence in her life. Both David and Dylan agree how meeting each other means meeting their best friend. 

The thing is that the two really are just friends. Dylan will soon marry Willow’s mother, Sarah Mengon who is David’s ex wife. All the three adults agree how this “union” that they have created has a positive influence on the girl. Double the fathers, double the love, don’t you think so?

Everyone agrees how co-parenting can be exhausting and affect children’s happiness, especially if the parents went through rough divorce. Untying the knot is usually followed by harsh words being spoken to one another and long and costly custody battles. Luckily, not every couple that decides to go separate ways goes through these inconveniences. 

This family is a proof of how things can be done another way when children are involved. 

After Dylan posted the photo of the two fathers posing with their cute princess, people realized that not every relationship of happy people conforms to the norm. 

“When we care more about our children (on both sides of the party) than the way society has taught us to be towards (ex’s/baby mommas/daddy’s) then walls will fall, life will be free of hatred and remorse, and our children will conquer the foolish “norms” that media has shoved in our faces. He stays at our home when he visits, because family is always welcome. He is not an outsider, he is and will always be a part of my life for the simple fact that we share the same daughter!”

One would expect for a situation like this to be perceived as awkward by both men, but Dylan and David know better than that. They say how Sarah is the one to blame for the harmonious relationship between the three.

Actually, Sara was the one who took the picture of her ex and future husband and their daughter. It was a daddy-daughter dance day at school and guess who stole all the attention? 

It’s amazing how three grown ups managed to put the girl’s well-being on the top of their list of priorities. We are sure Willow is one lucky girl, because she is surrounded with some extra love.

According to psychologists, the father figure plays a crucial part in the process of raising children the right way. It’s not like those growing up without a dad end up being less successful than those who do, but having a male influence in the house certainly makes childhood a bit easier. 

The video below shows a very special moment shared between a father and his little boy. These two not only know how to have fun together, but they made our day more enjoyable too. It’s amazing how a dull car ride can turn into one of the most memorable experiences that help make the bond between these father and a son even stronger. 

At the end of the day, small but meaningful occasions like this one are what make life worth living. 

 

We are sure you’ve stumbled upon many videos of this type before, but once you take a look at this one you’ll know why many agree it’s by far the best one out there. Get ready for your heart to be melted. 

 

It’s pretty obvious that both this father and his lovely son are used to having enjoyable time together. Once they get into the car, they turn the radio on and everything is ready for their performance. Their duetting is on point as the boy starts singing and welcomes daddy to join him.

The love between them is undeniable. We do hope they remain this close even after the boy grows older. Nothing’s wrong with your dad being your best friend, that’s for sure. 

 

However, what caught the attention of most of the people who got to witness this very unique moment is the choice of song. Honestly, not many young children have ever heard of Frank Sinatra or Sammy Davis Jr. yet this boy knows every word of their legendary hit “Me and My Shadow.”

Their vocals blends just perfectly. I do hope you are going to enjoy this video as much as I did.

How a husband and wife scared a cab driver out of his wits

The most amusing stories come from taxi drivers. They get to meet many new people on a daily basis and the interesting thing is that they have no idea who they are going to run across. We don’t even want to imagine how surprised this taxi driver was after he witnessed the conversation between a husband and a wife who happened to be his passenger. This is truly hilarious. Having been burgled in the past, we turned on a ‘night light’ and the answering machine, then put the cat in the backyard. When our cab arrived, we walked out our front door and our rather tubby cat scooted between our legs inside, then ran up the stairs. Because our cat likes to chase our budgie we really didn’t want to leave them un-chaperoned so my husband ran inside to retrieve her and put her in the back yard again. Because I didn’t want the taxi driver to know our house was going to be empty all evening, I explained to him that my husband would be out momentarily as he was just bidding goodnight to my mother. A few minutes later he got into the cab all hot and bothered, and said (to my growing horror and amusement) as the cab pulled away. “Sorry it took so long but the stupid bitch was hiding under the bed and I had to poke her ass with a coat hanger to get her to come out! She tried to take off so i grabbed her by the neck and wrapped her in a blanket so she wouldn’t scratch me like she did last time. But it worked! I hauled her fat arse down the stairs and threw her into the backyard… she had better not shit in the vegetable garden again.” The silence in the taxi was deafening…

Welcoming that tiny bundle of joy into your life changes everything. Even if it means sleepless nights and being surrounded by poops and diapers, it is by far the best thing one can experience. 

Dr.Erik Bostrom from Minnesota knows the joy of becoming a parent all too well. Why? Because his every day is spent around people who become parents the moment he delivers their little ones into this world. Moms and dads unselfishly share their joy with this very special man who knows just how to thank them. 

This doctor does something incredibly beautiful for the babies, and the story of his kind deeds is now shared around the country and the world.

This generous and kind hearted doctor doesn’t only make sure the babies are safely delivered, but takes further care of their mommies, including helping them handling postpartum health safely. 

As he says it himself, he simply loves his job. And he loves it to the extent that he wants to connect to every newborn and their families in a more personal level. He does it by doing something really sweet. Dr. Bostrum sews personalized blankets for every of his baby patients. 

Facebook/The Uplift

He says he does it because he wants his patients to be happy and to have something to remember the best day of their life. He found sewing a bit hard at the beginning but now he does it like a real professional. He also admits how all the effort pays off when he sees the new mothers smile. They all cherish this precious gift because it’s handmade and sewed with lots of love.

Lacie Hietalati gave birth to a baby daughter just recently and she also got one of this amazing personalized blankets. During their two-week check up visit, Dr. Bostrom welcomed them with a smile and the unique gift. Lacie was surprised because she didn’t expect for a doctor to do such a lovely thing. 

It’s amazing how he finds the time to sew all those blankets by himself knowing he has lots of patients and a busy schedule. But we guess that when you love something so much, nothing is impossible. 

Dr. Bostrom’s generosity is truly unique. We all agree that we need more people like him in this world who would make us feel like the most special people or patients. Way to go Dr. Bostrom, you are our hero.

The best of the best performers are in the run for the Champion’s title of the special America’s Got Talent edition. Incredible vocals such as that of Susan Boyle and Angelica Hale could be heard filling the air and making the audience go mad. The series also features winners, finalists, and starts from the other “Got Talent” franchises spanning 194 countries who brought on stage memorable and fan-favorite acts.  

YouTube

 

The good news is that one of our favorite contestants with a unique life story is back and stronger than ever. Kechi Okwuchi’s life wasn’t an easy one but she proved everyone around her that nothing could stand on her path of becoming a star. 

When she was just a college student she was involved in a plane crash. She boarded that plane together with 60 of her classmates. Tragically, it fell down soon after it took off with all of her Kechi’s friends losing their life. This lucky lady and another person were the only survivors out of all 107 passengers. 

From that moment on her life turned upside down. The road to recovery was tough and painful, but thanks to her mother’s support she managed to overcome the struggles she was facing. 

One crucial factor that helped her along the way was the power of music. Her mother would never stop singing to her, and that made her fall in love with the notes, the tunes, and the melodies. 

“The next day and the next day, I remember my mom singing to me. I had no idea I’d one day be standing on the stage of America’s Got Talent and singing.”

YouTube

 

When she first appeared on the show in 2017, her voice and her story captivated the hearts of the judges and the crowd. Simon Cowell who is considered one of the most strict of the four judges said:

“You deserve a place here tonight, not just based upon your story, but based upon your talent.”

This time, she treated the audience that was eagerly waiting for her performance with a rendition of Calum Scott’s “You Are The Reason.” Her powerful voice along with her humble personality had everyone yelling from the rooftop. 

YouTube

 

This brave young lady comes as the full package, including undeniable talent, sparkling smile, and inspirational life story. She pours her soul on that stage letting everyone know she is a fierce competitor. 

The judges only have word of praise for the incredible performance. Howie Mendel refers to her as a “champion of life” which she certainly is. Kechi proved many times before that she’s a survivor and we are certain she’ll come up as a winner again. 

And for Simon, he said:

“I’m going to be honest with you. I didn’t really like it that much,”

 than added with his full voice how he actually loved it, reaching for the Golden Buzzer. Kechi burst into tears of joy as she saw her mother swiping hers.  

“My one regret was I wasn’t able to give her the Golden Buzzer. You want to know what a champion is? This is a champion.”

YouTube

 

This golden girls is now headed to the finals. We keep our fingers crossed for you Kechi!

If you don’t believe in guardian angels disguised in humans, then you have to check Cassie Camilo’s story. This brave young mother decided to leave everything in her home country of Brazil and try to pursue the American dream away from her little children. Being separated from them crushed her world, but she knew it was the sacrifice she had to make in order to provide them with a brighter future. 

Cassie’s angel came into her life and gave this struggling mother the hopes and the push she needed so badly. Peter DeRosa is the man who made a change in her life.  

YouTube

 

Cassie got her first job at one of Peter’s restaurants and the two became very close friends ever since. He gave her a chance when she needed it the most. But everything this man did for her from that moment on was thanks to her dedication to her job. As Peter himself says, she is an incredibly hardworking person. He even helped her get another job so that she could embrace her children sooner than she expected.

Peter is an owner who knows how to appreciate great employees who love their job. He was there for Cassie in the years to come, but she could never imagine that this man will become her guardian angel. 

YouTube

 

Knowing how important being on time was for Cassie made Peter suspicious after she called sick and didn’t get to work one day. He wanted to make sure everything was fine so he found her address and paid her a visit. But, as soon as he walked in he got surprised by what he saw. She was feeling worse than he though so he quickly brought her to the doctor’s. And this is just a tiny portion of all the good deeds Peter offered his best employee and friend. 

Peter was there for this lady whenever she needed support. Their friendship is one of a kind and their story is unlike any other. Take a look at the video below and see what Cassie and her family have to say for this generous man. 

Girl rocks the public piano with unexpected companions

Waiting for your family to get done with the long and pretty boring shopping trip to the nearest mall doesn’t have to be that annoying, at least not when there is a public piano nearby. Yes, this instrument can make your waiting time pass really quickly and make you have lots of fun no matter if you are willing to give it a try at performing on it or listening to other do it.

A teenage girl spotted a piano and quickly approached it. As soon as she put the tips of her fingers on the keys we knew something amusing was about to take place.

Passersby would stop to witness the unusual sight unfolding in front of them. 

YouTube

 

The lovely teenager was into producing a lovely melody when another person got closer and wanted to play the piano himself. Was she fine with stepping down? Based on her facial expression, not really. She even tried to tell him to find his own piano, but after some time she let him play on it. 

Now the man was the one behind the instrument and the girl seemed to be a bit annoyed. But after a couple of minutes, she started clapping her hands to the rhythm of the vigorous and bold melody he produced. 

What was really going on in here? Was this going to turn into something more than just two ‘strangers’ fighting over the piano? Well, the onlookers didn’t really care, they just joined the performance by clapping their hands. 

YouTube

 

Now things turned even more interesting when another person passed by and took part in the show.

He was wearing a uniform and a helmet and encouraged the girl to join the man who had overtaken the piano from her. It was three people, one instrument, and many smiling faces all around. 

People took the time to listen to the interesting sound they were making. This isn’t a classical piece of music, but something really funky that made everyone move to the rhythm, at least by nodding their heads.

But out of all the people, the guy sitting on the side of the piano is the best. He looks so confused, as though he’s wondering what is going on. Dead serious throughout the whole performance, he’s just looking at the players and the cheering crowd. However, near the end, he cracks a smile as sort of approval of the job well done. 

YouTube

 

The man in the green jacket playing the piano is actually a piano teacher named Terry Miles.

But, the fun thing is that he’s not an ordinary teacher who teaches ordinary music. His style is called Boogie Woogie Piano, a musical genre that became popular during the late 1920s. Typical for this style is that it’s not strictly a solo, but extends to piano duo and trio, guitar, and even big band.

What Terry does is kind of unique because he encourages people to play and make music together, which is better than doing it all by yourself.

We really loved what these three piano players had to show to the dancing crowd. Did you like it too?
