It’s amazing how some couples, or ex couples, can overcome their issues for the sake of their kids. No matter if they get divorced, putting kids’ interest and needs before their own is what makes them excellent parents who do parenting the right way.
Divorced mother Laura Dee was ready to put the stress of daily life behind her and jet off on vacation to Cyprus with her two kids, Darcie, 11, and Callum, 9. Their bags were packed, the tickets bought, and the trio headed off to the airport with dreams of sandy shores in their heads. Unbenknownst to Darcie and Callum, a fourth guest was accompanying them on their trip – and it was someone who would bring them both to tears immediately. Thankfully, Laura decided to record her big reveal and share it online for the world to see.

Laura, Darcie, and Callum waded through the crowded airport walkways in search of their gate. Then, out of the many faces, a familiar one appeared! It was her children’s father, her ex-husband. Even though they separated eight years ago, they worked together to make a fun family vacation possible. Laura told Newsflare, “As parents seeing our children upset is hard, all we want is to make our children happy. Co-parenting is hard for many people, but we are proud of what we have achieved with bringing our children up.”

Instead of bickering, putting the kids in the middle, or whatever mental and emotional games divorcees play with their former spouses, Laura and her ex-husband did what was best for the children. Now they’ll be able to make their kids feel whole and create life-long memories with them at the same time. Watch Callum and Darcie’s heartwarming reaction to their father’s surprise appearance in the video below. This clip is the perfect example of how beautiful co-parenting can be – and how much of a positive effect it can have on the children!
When Capri, a talented young girl, started singing Elvis Presley’s song, it was an amazing start to even more amazing mashup. Her brother Kenny joined and sang along with her. Kenny created the blend of the songs using his music and sound equipment. The duo put a lot of creativity in their performance and stunned everyone who listened to the impressive and catchy mashup.
Capri used to have a soft-sweet voice whereas piano skills of Kenny are also incredible. The made a perfect conversion from one song to the other. Kenny joined with Capri by singing “But I can’t help falling in love with you”, as Capri sang “Wise men say only fools rush in”. Thus by hearing their song, it is clear that music truly can’t be bounded in any limits.
It’s surely very risky to recreate the Elvis classic but their effort in the attempt is just speechless. As you hear them singing it is hard to distinguish where the two change from one song to the other. The song got even better when you just think that it can’t get much beautiful. The brother-sister duet is just simply talented and love for music can be seen through the way they sang the two classic songs. It’s just marvelous to watch the duet sang an unforgettable mashup.
Vacation is great and all, but have you ever ate hotel breakfast while watching over some humpback whales?
In Canada at the Great Bear Lodge, lucky guests got to witness this special breakfast show.
As they sat at the lakeside for breakfasts, bubbling water next to them shocked the guests.
But what were they doing there in the first place? A whale studier (cetologist) explains they were using an eating strategy.
“They’ve chased a school of fish into that cove. They get it nice and concentrated, then blow bubbles around the school, like a makeshift net. Then several humpbacks dive below and surge to the surface all at once, mouths open, eating gigantic amounts of fish. It’s a typical hunting technique that humpbacks use.”
Either way, these beautiful giants had the guests ecstatic. Two even high-fived each other after seeing it. To be honest, I probably would do the same.
The whole thing was pretty amazing, check it out for yourself in this video!

One day, Winifred went to the ATM to withdraw money.
Standing there, she noticed a person walking up to behind her. Before she could react, the two men pulled her off balance while another man showed up. He reached over and tried to withdraw 200 euros.
If Winifred could not act quickly, they would drain all the money from her account. When he reached to withdraw the cash, she came up with her plan.
Grabbing his collar, she slammed the man’s head into the machine. She knocked his head three times before scaring off the robbers.
After she placed a call, the cops arrested the robbers later in the day.
According to the prosecutor, the robbers drove to the village to find easy targets.
“They did not care about how this would affect me,” Winifred said, “I would definitely say this has changed my life, I will never have the confidence I once did.”
Good job Winifred! Hopefully, they learned their lesson!
The number of children under foster care in the United States only is around 420.000. All of these kids desperately try to find a place they’d call ‘home’. However, cases of abuse and neglect over them by the people who are supposed to protect them are numerous. Devastating is the fact that a great number of people decide to become foster parents with the aim of cashing in the monthly remuneration. If we associate our kids with paychecks, then it means suffering will be the order of the day. The social experiment below is entitled What Would You Do and it features a foster mom who undermines her foster son and on the other hand favors her biological daughter while serving dinner.
She lets her daughter take whatever she wishes on the menu and informs him he only has to spend $4. When her daughter misbehaves, he is the one who is reprimanded and the woman tells him no person will ever adopt a child like him. Crying is the only thing he can do. Even when in the darkest moment of your life, there is always a light of hope from somewhere. Another woman shows up and buys the boy whatever he wants and is ready to do everything to ensure the kid is comfortable – even reporting the abusive mother to the authorities.
Although this is a social experiment, these are things which happen around us and it is our responsibility to end them and change the world.

Very often what looks like a simple act of kindness can go a long way and make someone’s day one of their most memorable ones. If we are lucky, we will even capture it on film to remember it even longer.
Regina Thomason recently went to grab a bite to eat with her brother Dwayne Roach at an IHOP in Abilene, Texas – just after his doctor’s appointment. That’s when Dwayne, who has Down syndrome, noticed something interesting about their waitress Millie’s uniform.

50-year-old Dwayne just so happens to love name tags. So when he spotted the one pinned to Millie’s IHOP shirt, he was drawn to it.
Regina wrote on Facebook:
“He told the waitress that he liked her name tag and then told her that his name is ‘Captain America.'”
But instead of just going about her shift without another thought about it – Millie decided to do something extra special for Dwayne (AKA: Captain America).

Right before the brother and sister pair were about to leave the restaurant, their waitress Millie approached their table. In her hands she had an extra name tag just for Dwayne!
She reached down and took hold of his collared shirt, pinning it on herself. Dwayne was super happy about his new accessory – which Regina was happy to report featured the name “Captain America.”
“Thank you to Millie at Ihop. U made his day!”Facebook/Regina Thomason
It may seem like a small act to some, but for the pair of siblings it was a huge deal. As it turns out Dwayne likes to collect name tags and badges – and even at times has gone by the name “John Wayne.”
As for Millie, this wasn’t the only time she’s treated her customers with kindness. She told News 4:
“When people come in, I want to make them smile. If they leave happy, it makes me happy.”
The waitress also explained how she felt about the situation:
“When he left, I said, ‘Bye, Captain America!’ and he just giggled. It made me feel good.”
Understandably their story’s gone viral and is warming hearts across the nation. After all, sometimes it’s the sweet little moments in life that can be the most touching!
Every time while driving his big rig on the highway, Mark King would get a smile from a teenage boy sitting in the front lawn in a wheelchair. Waving at each other has eventually became a nice ritual for the two.

The boy’s name is Dakota, but everyone knows him as Bubba. He has Dandy Walker syndrome, a congenital brain malformation that delays development of motor skills, as well as cerebral palsy.
Bubba’s mom Peggy Cadd told Transport Topics that because of his two conditions, he requires assistance to walk. But the highlight of Bubba’s day is when he parks his wheelchair in the front yard of his home situated along Highway 26 and waits for truck drivers to honk as they whiz by.

If he’s feeling up to it, he’ll sit there every single day. That’s how Mark caught on to Bubba’s love of all things with 18 wheels.
Mark felt bad that he didn’t have a horn to honk for Bubba, so he decided to do something else special for the teen. So he left a T-shirt emblazoned with his company’s logo on it and a toy semi-trailer truck on the lawn near where Bubba usually sits.
Mark confessed that he grew up with a sister who has special needs and felt drawn to Bubba. The teen is one of 14 adopted children raised by Peggy and her husband Rick.
Seven of those 14 kids, including Bubba, still live at home with the Cadds. Bubba was adopted when he was nine months old.
Peggy shared Mark’s sweet gift for Bubba on social media. It didn’t take long before others hatched a plan.
Complete strangers teamed up to create 18 Wheels for Bubba. This would be a special 16th birthday party just for Bubba complete with 182 semi-trailer trucks lining the local park.
When the family pulled into the parking lot, Bubba was “amazed.” He had no idea what strangers from across the country had done just for him.
Driver Ray Hagen trekked from California to Illinois just so his bright orange semi could make an appearance before Bubba. Hundreds of people showed up to celebrate Bubba’s birthday, which was complete with cake and presents.
Bubba made it his mission to visit every single semi and honk the horn of as many as he could. At the party, Bubba was named an honorary member of Owner-Operated Independent Drivers Association and of Dairyland Diesel, both organizations for truck drivers.

Watch Bubba’s beautiful reaction when he discovers that all of those semis are there — just for him!
Being a firefighter not only requires physical strength, but also altruism, selflessness and willingness to risk your own life for the sake of others’. However, the firefighters’ job doesn’t only revolve around fires. When a group of firemen were called to a scene, they arrived to find a huge tree ready to topple over onto a house. Although this wasn’t their normal job, the firemen didn’t hesitate to take action, but they had no idea there would be another participant help them out who wasn’t a part of their crew.
One firemen gets directly behind the tree and begins to use a saw to cut through it. While he tends to the saw, the others hold a rope connected to the tree. This ensures that they can pull back if the tree somehow starts to fall in the opposite direction from where they intended. But as an onlooker looks on and records he manages to capture a laugh out loud sight that has everyone cracking up!

The firemen begin to tug on their rope but little do they know they have an extra helping hand all the way at the end of the rope behind them. The men pull hard and onlookers behind them can’t stop giggling. Confused, the firemen begin to look around and that’s when they see a dog tugging and pulling with everything he’s got in the back. The sight has everyone in a fit of laughter. As far as the dog, it’s easy to see he’s a huge team player. Watch the hilarious sight for yourself in the video below.
