The police were surprised — but also relieved. Lee had heard the parrot not a woman. It was sure nice that no one, not even Diego, was in need of help.
Diego’s owner Susan Baird told police that this wasn’t the first time the parrot she triggered someones reaction.
Lately the bird has been mocking sound from human and animals. Apparently the words ‘help me’ had been heard on television and was her latest favorite phrase.
Amarri Hernandez and her boyfriend were waiting at St. Pete-Clearwater International Airport when they saw the whole thing go down.
“I witnessed a man being told that he was not allowed to take his package on the plane,” Amarri writes on a Facebook post. “The guy looked at the officer and said ‘Could I leave it at the airport in the lost and found. It’s a snowglobe for my adopted grandchild.’”
The officer, like so many at the airport, was unsympathetic to the man’s plea.
“The officer replied ‘Put it in file 13’ and pointed at the garbage can,” Amarri writes on Facebook. “The man was hurt and threw it in the garbage.”
When Amarri saw the man walking away from the trashcan in tears, she was heartbroken. When her boyfriend decided to go to the trash can and retrieve the package they discovered something that made them cry. The gift was a snowglobe containing photos of the couple and the little girl.
It was engraved with the message:
Amarri was determined to find the man that was forced to leave this precious gift in the trash. She sent out a post on Facebook to try to reunite the man with the gift.
Her post went viral and was shared over 40 000 times. It caught the eye of just the right person. An employee of ‘Things Remembered’, the company that made the custom snow globe. She contacted Amarri right away.
“She’s just amazing. I can’t believe that she did this,” she tells Fox13 News. “People are basically really good, and she’s just exceptional.”
Amarri did what was right because she knew it was right not because she had to.
“My mom raised us to always be good to people,” she says. “I would want the same thing to happen to me.”

I’m so happy when I hear stories of kindness, the world needs more of them. Be sure to share this story and spread the kindness.
“When she was born, her knees were backward, her legs were all the way up to her head, she had hip dysplasia, and a club foot. We didn’t know if she would ever walk, if she would ever run.”
The doctors were true miracle workers as they significantly improved Addie’s condition and enabled her to walk, and this girl wouldn’t settle for anything less than having completely normal legs and knees.
This little 75 year old woman was about to be arrested and taken away in hand cuffs when a group of young boys in Texas stepped up. They never even met this woman but they didn’t want to see her got to jail because her grass was over 18 inches tall.
Gerry Suttle is the 75-years-old woman, she was issued a notice to appear in front of a judge regarding grass on her land being unkept. The law states that grass needs to be under 18 inches, Suttle said she was unaware of this law.
The woman also said that she hadn’t received the letter regarding a court date with the judge. Unfortunately, when she failed to appear in court a warrant was issued for her arrest.
“It’s a summer day, we don’t have season passes yet to Warren Falls. What else could we do? Just go out and help some people”
The boys knew that she need their help she was 75 years old it was the ‘least we could do’ one of the boys said.
The boys effort was about more then cutting grass in the overgrown yard it was about keeping her from going to jail, being kind, and treating others with respect.
Shortly after the boys began mowing the lawn, other neighbors in the area began to notice their efforts. It was over 90 degrees and the boys were using push mowers to mow the large lot.
That’s when some of the neighbors showed up with riding mowers and began to help the boys with the enormous job.
With everyone’s help the lawn was mowed and looking beautiful in a short 2 hours.
“I cannot believe this. I’m very seldom without words. but this is one time, you mark it down in history. that I didn’t have something to say”
She couldn’t believe it! These young boys would go out of their way to help an old woman like her, for no reason. Her faith in the younger generation has been restored.
“I really wouldn’t want her coming out here doing it or paying a bunch of money. when we could have just done it for free”
If we all did one thing a day randomly to show others in the world kindness. The world would certainly be a much better place to live.
“Her dream dress. She loved that dress SO much. While at the hospice, she would talk to people about how great the wedding was going to be.”
“I lay motionless in bed, both happy and devastated.”
The problem they discovered in the ultrasound could cause a problem for their son Dewey’s development. Dewey was immediately taken to the NICU for 132 days during which the doctors tried to work out what the problem was. During a routine operations when the doctors were trying to insert a feeding tube the precious baby boy died.
The Butler’s were beyond heartbroken with the loss of their son. When a nurse just one floor above them intervened and gave them a lifeline in their time of grief. The nurse worked in the NICU and had grown close to the Butler’s. She called to tell them she knew a little boy on the 5th floor named Brax who needed to be loved. She knew the couple had expressed interest in fostering.
Brax was 11-months-old; he hadn’t left the hospital since his birth. His parents abandoned him since they weren’t able to care for him. The poor little man suffered from pulmonary hypertension, chronic respiratory failure, and tracheomalacia. Doctors believed that Brax’s condition would improve as he got older.
As soon as the Butler’s brought Brax into their home, his health improved. Josh and Katie loved him so much, they made it official in September adopting Brax.
They will always miss their Dewey. They know he is free from pain and they feel his loss. They also understand that his death, they were able to make room in their hearts for another child who needed love.
