Prince Harry meets a lot of people each year through the events that he attends and the charity organizations he supports. And while he’s very busy carrying out tasks under the Crown, he makes sure to spend time with his fans. When people learn that the prince is coming to town, some of them go to great extremes to see him in person. The lucky ones may get to shake his hand or receive a kiss on the cheek. One woman spent seven hours waiting in the rain so she could meet one of her favorite members of the royalty. She first met him two years earlier and hoped he would remember her.

The prince was visiting Sydney, Australia, to promote the Invictus Games. While he was touring Sydney Harbor, Daphne Dunne, a 97-year-old widow, patiently waited with throngs of other fans. The prince slowly maneuvered himself through the crowd to greet people when he spotted Daphne. She had nothing to fear because he recognized her right away. He immediately reached out to her.

Daphne first met the prince when he was working with the Australian Defense Force and stopped at the Sydney Opera House. He picked Daphne out of the crowd because she was wearing numerous military medals. One in particular, the Victoria Cross, stood out. Daphne is a veteran of the Australian Women’s Army service. She explained to the prince how her first husband, who died at the age of 24 during World War II, was awarded the Victoria Cross posthumously. They had only been married for one year when he passed away.

Daphne wears the medals to to honor the memory of her husband, Albert Chowne. She often puts them on for events supporting those involved in the service. When the prince met her the first time, he gave her a kiss on the cheek. He repeated the gesture the second time around. Daphne told reporters: “He remembered me. And gave me another kiss on the other side.” The prince spent a few moments chatting with Daphne and giving her a big hug. Like many around the world, Daphne respects the prince’s dedication to veterans and members of the military. He developed the Invictus Games in 2014, which allows wounded, injured, or sick armed services personnel to compete in various sporting events. Sydney, Australia, will be hosting the event in 2018. There’s no doubt that Daphne will make a concerted effort to see the prince again. The third time’s the charm!

Everyone with a sibling knows that sisters and brothers can get on your nerves very easily. The disadvantage is that it’s hard to make them stop because a sibling always knows which of your buttons to press to get a rise out of you. Having a sibling isn’t always a bad thing though. It’s great to have someone you can relate to about mom and dad or school. They’re also always great to have around to make you laugh too. When two sisters wanted mom to film them practicing their cheer routine their little brother offered to help by hitting play when they were ready to start the music. However, they never anticipated his little show behind them.
YouTube
Mom watched her daughters get into position as she stood before them hitting record on her phone. Her son is in the corner next to the speaker and finds the button to press in order to start the music. The music starts and little bro decides he needs to show off his own routine too. The girls begin to cheer but the hilarious part is that they don’t realize their little brother is stealing the show with his own moves behind them.
YouTube
The girls are enthusiastic and smiling at the camera as little bro jumps and flails his arms around behind them. He kicks up his legs into the air too! When the chorus “I can make your hands clap” plays the silly boy decides to smack his behind in hilarious fashion. His sisters never notice but we’re sure the girls will have something to say about the footage once mom replays it for them. This routine just took a turn we’re sure mom will have to handle when the yelling starts. Watch it for yourself in the video below. You’ve gotta love when a sibling acts up!

Woman asks neighbor’s son why he visits her grandma 5 times a day: She’ll never forget his answer

Darrien Middleton works saving lives in the emergency room everyday, her job is tiring but she loves it.  the one thing she loves is that she is making a difference in peoples lives.
If she could Darrien would also be able to take care of her sick grandmother every day, but of course the reality is Darrien needs to work.
Luckily, Wilma has a guardian angel right here on earth.
After suffering from lung cancer 2 years ago, Wilma was incredibly weak and it took months for her to heal.
But just when they thought she was out of the woods, they were socked with another devastating report from Wilma’s doctors. Wilma now had breast cancer. Darrien has tried over and over to have her grandma move in with her. But according to Darrien, her grandma is too stubborn to leave the home she has lived in for 38 years. “She refuses to move in with me because she loves her independence and her home,” Darrien explains.
“I work full time in the emergency department in our hometown on night shift,”Darrien said. “That alone keeps my schedule very limited, along with being a full-time student. We don’t have much family here, so getting Nana back and forth to treatment every day and being able to check on her frequently (or as much as I would like) has been difficult for me to do. This is where her beautiful neighbors come into play.” “They check on her multiple times throughout the day and have even helped me get her to chemotherapy and radiation appointments. They are honestly what keeps Nana going. I can’t go over to her home without someone at some point yelling ‘Hey Ms. Wilma, How ya doing?’ She knows everyone by name and they know and love her just as much as I do.”
But one particular neighbor checks in on Wilma’s everyday. 7-year-old Caleb.
Darrien explained how the boy has an “old man’s soul” that everyone loves. “My nana is so attached to him and the bond they have is incredible. He doesn’t come from much, but you can tell he has been raised on love. He will bust out a dance move in a heartbeat, will go on and on about how much he loves school, and make you laugh until you cry. This kid deserves the love he has received from this post. He stands out from the norm and brings so much joy into everyone’s life he is around. “I am so thankful for him and the love he has shown my grandmother. I know for certain it has helped her on her hardest days. He will never know how much I truly appreciate him. I hope one day he realizes the impact he has left on her life and mine as well.” In a world where age, race and gender are such hot topics it’s nice to see that in Tennessee none of that matters and two people can sit and chat.

This Black Cat Won’t Stop Staring At A Picture Of Her Son Until She Pieces Things Together

Adopting an animal from a shelter might be the most humble thing ever. Many of the loving souls who found themselves there are either strays who experienced a tough life on the streets, or abandoned by their owners who believed they were no longer worth taking care of. When a teen named Max and his mother Erin Nimrischter adopted a black cat from a shelter, little did they know they would get the best friend for life and someone who would love them unconditionally. This especially came as a surprise because cats are believed to be more independent animals who don’t get attached to humans easily. But Yuuku turned to be one of the most special felines out there.
Facebook/Erin Nimrichter
Speaking to The Dodo, Erin said how her son and the cat became so close that they would spend all their days by each other’s side. “Max has always felt connections to any animals he was around. He’s a sweetheart.”
Facebook/Erin Nimrichter
However, just six months after Yuuki was adopted, her favorite human was sent to a boot camp and is now serving at the U.S Navy. The absence of Max made Yuuki feel confused. So, she would now spend all her time staring at his photo. Erin thought it was strange and wasn’t even sure whether the cat was staying in that room because of her son’s photo or not, so she decided to move it and see what happens. The cat found the photo and continued staring at it. “She just sits there, stares and meows and then lays down next to the picture to nap. I know for sure she misses him.” This melted Erin’s heart. She knew the cat missed her son dearly so when they scheduled a visit with Max, they took Yuuki too. The sweet cat reunited with Max and was over the moon when she saw him. Now, she just has to be patient and wait for him to return from service. And until that happens, she has his photo to look at.

Take a look at how Yuuki stares at her human sibling’s photo all day. This is kind of sad and cute at the same time.

Mom finally gets pregnant after years of trying. Few days later, doctor calls in panic and confesses terrifying mistake

Most couples that get married want to start a family at some point. But wanting a family and not being able to must be unbearable.  Some couples go to extreme lengths to conceive. Carolyn and Sean Savage were one of those couples.  Instead of Carolyn having positive pregnancy test Carolyn would just continue getting her period.  Each month was mentally and emotionally draining.  When she would become pregnant her dreams would be crushed when miscarriages happened. The couple turned to in vitro fertilization like so many couples in the same situation. Married in 1993 the couple tried and tried but it simply wouldn’t happen naturally.  They celebrated their 1 year anniversary with the birth of their first baby.  The second child came soon after with the help of fertility treatments. Fast forward 10 years after trying test tube fertilization in 2007 their daughter Mary Kate was born. 2009 Carolyn had embryos implanted to attempt to have child number 4. With the news that the IVF treatment was successful the couples lives were changed forever. Only days into the pregnancy the couple received terrible news…the embryos had mistakingly been mixed up.  The baby she was carrying wasn’t hers! The Savage’s were forced to make the hardest decision of their lives. Should they abort the baby or give the baby to the biological parents? “We moved from a position of shock to a realization that this was actually going to happen. It’s just been difficult, but we feel we made the right decisions on how to handle it,” Carolyn explained. Sean and Carolyn decided the biological parents, Shannon and Paul Morrell, should have the baby they were longing for. “He is their son. But he will always be my baby,” Carolyn says. After that experience, Carolyn thought she had been through everything.

Blessing Come in Two’s

In 2011 happiness returned… Carolyn and Sean announced they were expecting twins, this time via a surrogate mother. “Miracle twins” Isabella and Reagen brought immense joy to the family. “The twins have closed some of the grief we were still experiencing over what happened with Logan. They are certainly not replacement babies, but they have been the best thing for all of us,” Carolyn told the Daily Mail. And just when you thought their family was complete, perhaps the most surprising news of all came in the spring of 2014. Carolyn couldn’t believe her eyes when she looked at the pregnancy test. Could it really be true? How could it be? “As my befuddled brain studied the test, I thought I must be wrong. I’m infertile. I’ve gone through countless fertility treatments over the past two decades and with the exception of a couple of IVFs, I’ve only seen two positive home pregnancy tests. What on Earth was my 45-year-old self thinking? I couldn’t be pregnant now. Could I?” Baby Nicholas, was born without the use of any fertility drugs. This is one of the most amazing stories EVER!   We are so glad it had a happy ending.  

Disabled veteran gets a new lawnmower

Joining the army and leaving your family behind during long months of deployment is something only brave individuals can do. Being a soldier takes a lot of courage and strong love for the country and the nation.

This is why we should always treat soldiers with the ultimate respect they deserve. After all, we owe them our freedom, and you can never put price on being free.
Christopher Garrett
A combat engineer with the U.S Army’s 10th Mountain Division named Christopher Garrett was serving in Afghanistan when he got shot in the stomach. He suffered severe and life-threatening injuries but doctors were able to save his life. Unfortunately, he was left disabled and was forced to retire from the military.
Christopher Garrett
Although Christopher felt devastated, he still had his loving wife Brittany and son in his life and knew they would help him accept the new reality.

No matter how hard things got, Christopher was determined to do all he could in order to leave a normal life.

However, simple tasks like mowing the lawn now required extra effort to be done and this brave soldier didn’t have it easy.
Christopher Garrett
On a sunny day, Christopher was outside mowing the lawn with his old push lawnmower. His wife was watching him and her heart broke as he collapsed on the ground. She rushed to him, believing he either hurt himself or just broke down, but once she got out she realized he was crying tears of joy. He looked at her and showed her a pair of keys. Unaware of what was going on, she recalls how Christopher asked her to look across the yard.
Facebook / Brittany Lynn Garrett
She was in complete disbelief when she noticed a brand new John Deere lawnmower. On it, there was a note that said: “I hope this saves time for the things that matter most in your life. Thank you for your service and for my freedom. Sincerely, a grateful American.”
Facebook / Brittany Lynn Garrett

Someone very generous and compassionate from the neighborhood felt the urge to do something nice for Christopher and his family as a sign of thank you for the sacrifice he made for the country.

It’s truly amazing to know that people realize the importance of the soldiers for the well-being of the country and its people.
Christopher Garrett
The gift they received made Christopher stay true to his goal of leading a normal life despite his condition.

Elderly Man Lost $100 Bill And Can’t Pay For Groceries But Then Gets Unexpected Phone Call

If you found a $100 bill what would you do?  I’m sure you would be excited but after the excitement wore off and you realized someone lost it…what would you do?
This little 8-year-old boy Jaron Johnson was thrilled when he found a $100 bill at the grocery store. However, he wasn’t thrilled because he found it, he was thirlled because now he had a mystery to solve.  He had to find the owner.
Jaron and Jodie went grocery shopping in a local Walmart not any different then any other time for them.  Until the little boy suddenly saw something green lying on the floor. After a closer look, Jaron realized it was a hundred dollar bill. A $100 bill is a large amount to lose, and it turned out that an elderly shopper lost the cash just a couple of minutes before. The 86-year-old Jamie Grice was about to pay for his groceries when he realized that his $100 went missing.  He didn’t have any other cash with him. He had to leave without the groceries. He already had a hard time making ends meet.  He relies on a fixed income and losing $100 could mean eating and not eating. He was distraught but knew exactly what to do. “When I walked outside of the store I said lord let somebody that really needs that money, find it. When I turn things over to the Lord, I don’t fool with it anymore.” The next day Jaron reminded is mom to call the store.
“I gave it to my mom and then the next day when we woke up I reminded her to call Walmart to see if anyone reported it”
She realized that this was an important lesson he was learning. “We talked about it on the way home, you know, people work hard for their money,” she added. “I was immediately proud of him. He’s a great kid, he has amazing character. He does the right thing even when no one is looking.” When Jodie called, they were immediately able to connect the dots. Jaron, Jodie, and James met each other at the store and the little boy proudly handed the man his $100 bill. James was extremely happy and thankful.  He knows that most people would just pocket the cash for themselves.

As a ‘thank you’  James gave Jaron a $20 finders fee.  If you found $100 would you do the same thing?  Have you ever lost money only to have it returned by a stranger?
