Being a parent has to be one of the toughest jobs ever because taking care of little children is really demanding at times, let alone if you are a child yourself. When Caitlin Fladager learned she was expecting a baby she was still in high-school and the news came as a shock. How she approached and handled her situation is what left us in awe.

Understandably enough, when her parents and family learned she was pregnant, they were somehow mad at her. They believed she was going to be forced to take care of the child all by herself as they were certain her boyfriend Noah, who was also a teenager back then, wouldn’t want to take any responsibility. Without even speaking to him about the future, Caitlin went to Noah and started yelling at him, accusing him of something that was only in hers and her parents’ head, and it was that he would just abandon her and their unborn baby. He, however, just told her to wait and see how he wasn’t ever planning on doing such thing.

Noah was there for her and was over the moon when their baby girl was born. Soon after, he proposed Caitlin and she was more than happy to say YES to the father of their bundle of joy. “My husband was only 17 when I got pregnant with our daughter and I was told to expect him to leave. 4 years ago, when I asked him how he would be different than any other teen dad, he said ‘I guess you’ll have to wait and see so I can show you’ He definitely did.”

Today, they do face struggles, but they are always supportive of each other and would never leave each other’s side. Caitlin suffers from anxiety attacks but with Noah’s help she is always able to overcome them. She also takes to social media to write about her feelings. Luckily, she’s not alone but has a loving man in her life. The couple now has another child, sweet baby boy named Jack. They are happy together and their story serves as an example that one’s life doesn’t have to “bad” only because someone said it will be.

Noah is a caring and devoted father. He and daughter Arianna nurture special relationship. The two bond and have fun all the time, and every month he takes her on a ‘date.’ The little girl gets to choose her outfit, and her dad brings her flowers and then takes her to dessert. Noah has a picture of Arianna on his key-chain because he says she inspires him to “keep going.” Caitlin is happy to be married to such a loving man.

Caitlin and Noah showed everyone who didn’t believe in them that they are strong, committed, and always by each other’s side. The adults in their life failed them because they didn’t trust in their love, but they never failed one another, and that’s probably what matters most.

A lot can be learned from the relationship these two have, but I guess the most important one is to never judge a book by its cover and never jump into conclusions.

Caitlin and Noah, you are such an inspiration to all of us!

Airline passenger shouts at check-in woman – then her 6-word response instantly knocks him down to size

The absolute classic phrase you might have heard is, in the service industry, “The customer is always right”, but as always there are some people out there who prove this wrong! We all know, those of us who have worked in a service job especially, what this phrase really means, there are some who think that, sadly, they are better than everyone else and insist that they are treated that way, almost like a king or queen, and treat customer service like peasants. This woman in this story is working at the check-in counter for an airline is not real, but illustrates a really clever way to deal with quite terribly rude people, customers that is! Her retort to a very not so respectful passenger show him his place in a polite and professional way, it also made me howl with laughter! Go further down this page to read the story and don’t even think twice to share it, the woman retort is completely amazing! The woman at the check-in desk at LaGuardia Airport in New York needs to have a medal for how she dealt with this nasty customer! Have you ever dealt with an irate customer? This is the one for you guy n gals! The Southwest Airlines flight, a really busy and full flight was canceled, because of really bad weather, this single agent was re-booking everyone to fly again another time. Then, all of a sudden a super angry passenger pushed his way to the head of the line… He slammed his ticket on the table and said rudely:

“I HAVE to be on this flight and it has to be FIRST CLASS.”

The agent said in reply:

“I’m sorry, sir. I’ll be happy to try to help you, but I’ve got to help these folks first, and then I’m sure we’ll be able to work something out.”

This passenger was really not impressed at all! Loudly, he demanded so all the other passengers could hear:

“DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA WHO I AM?”

Then the agent smiled and responded in a split-second, by grabbing her public announcement microphone… She said:

“May I have your attention, please?”

“We have a passenger here at Gate 14 WHO DOES NOT KNOW WHO HE IS.”

“If anyone can help him with his identity, please come to Gate 14.”

The folks who happened to be behind him and hysterical with laughter, the man glared at the woman gritting his teeth… He said:

“Screw you!”

Without even hesitation the woman said, as she smiled nicely:

“I’m sorry, sir. You’ll have to get in line for that, too.”

Man Tells School Board How Bully Forced His Head in Urinal 40 Yrs Ago, Same Bully Now Sits Among Them

By

One thing that is never acceptable it bullying, and even though time passes by the sting of a bully can last forever! A guy from Texas stood in front of a board at a school quite recently to explain just that, the impact of bullying on a child… The Guy, called Greg Barrett started by explaining that his name, in law is Greg Gay, but that, as he said to the board, he was shamelessly bullied as a child because of that name and was at the receiving and of daily, grueling, bullying! Greg said:

“I started out and I had teachers that bullied me, I had kids that bullied me, even the coaches. I had nobody to turn to.”

Then he told everyone about one particular day, he sadly remembers it now still it was so awful! He said:

“One day at lunch, I had my head shoved in a urinal where it busted my lip. I laid on the ground in a fetal position as the kids kicked me”

“I got up, rinsed my face off, I walked out of the lunchroom, walked straight to the principal’s office, and he told me that these kids would grow up someday. They won’t always be like this.”

“But yet, here I am, covered in urine from lying on the ground under the urinal. And they sent me home.”

Greg’s story was a really shocking one, but there was more… He admitted to, that evening, getting his fathers gun, from the drawer where he keeps it, and put it in his mouth and contemplated the worse!

He went on to say:

“Because at this point I had nobody — nobody in the school system — to help me…Is that the way this is going to be?”

Then Greg told all of them all exactly what he meant by pointing to Superintendent Lance Hindt and saying:

“Lance, you were the one that shoved my head into the urinal.”

Then, after Greg made his way straight away from the podium, Lance tried to Laugh it off, he wasn’t convincing! Greg said, just out of view:

”Do you want to debate? Because I got witnesses that were there when it happened.”

Superintendent Lance Hindt later on then released a statement denying Barrett’s claim! Lance said, in his statement:

“It was difficult for me to listen to a gentleman Monday night recount a bullying incident he said occurred more than 35 years ago”

“As superintendent in three school districts in Texas, I have always tried to create an environment where every student is safe, physically and emotionally. But when an individual impugns my character and reputation as the instigator of those actions, I am disappointed because it simply is not true.”

He also said that the head of the school would have never have allowed these actions to happen. The statement finished: “I do not suggest that Mr. Barrett was not bullied, only that I was not part of it. Bullying is wrong. Period. It was then and it is today,” the statement concluded.” Another guy, a businessman also came forward and stated that Lance was a bully all through middle school and high school too! But even with all that the school board blindly stands behind Lance! Katy ISD board president, Ashley Vann, said:

“The board fully vetted Dr. Lance Hindt before hiring him two years ago …His strong leadership and fulfillment of our vision since then has affirmed our decision. We stand united with Dr. Hindt today.”

Greg said:

“People change. They do stupid stuff when they’re young …I just want him to acknowledge it, say he’s sorry and make some changes so this doesn’t continue to happen.”

Cop Stops Teen on Street, Uncovers Broken Home Life. Then Mom Calls Cop, ‘You Need To Take Him’

During September 2014 when this 16-year-old, called Anthony Schultz, was jogging down the street, it was a sweltering Arizona night. He was all alone, and he was jogging with all his strength, he really had no clue that a Peoria police officer was observing him. Watching the teenager from his patrol vehicle, Officer Brandon Sheffert could not get rid of that nagging feeling that something was disturbing with regard to this kid. He detained the boy and tried to have a chat with him, but young boy didn’t want anything to do with the cop. Brandon said:

“Something about it bugged me because I couldn’t get through to him …He just seemed like there was something going on, and that there was something that was hurtful going on that he wouldn’t say.”

Brandon, who arrived back home to his dear wife, plus two little children, couldn’t get rid of the thought of the disturbed young boy from his mind. For an officer who’s experienced it all, Brandon really did feel compelled to look into the boy’s living circumstances then investigate a bit more about the mysterious teen. Brandon started by visiting Anthony at his apartment complex, there he discovered that the teen was sharing a 1-bedroom apartment with, can you believe, seven other members of the family. Brandon said:

“I kept coming over here, talking to him, spending time with him, getting to know him, getting to know the family, understand what’s going on”

Things were still getting a lot worse though. One night, Brandon’s phone rang, Anthony’s overwhelmed mother was on the phone! She said:

“You need to come take him …I can’t take him anymore.”

Brandon was Taken back with shock, he said:

“I was like, ‘whoa, whoa, whoa. That doesn’t make sense,'”

Without another place to go and no other family to go to either, Brandon and his wife made the decision, it would change his life for the better and forever! They both, to start with agreed that Anthony would live with them for at least a week, while Anthony’s mom got things sorted out! Alas, things did not get sorted though, when Anthony reached the age of 18, just November last, he still had nowhere at all to live. Brandon said:

“This kid just keeping getting hit over and over with things that no kid should have to go through”

Brandon and his wife really did something amazing, they took on Anthony into their house and home, just like he was their own son. For the very first time, Anthony had the love, support, and warmth of a healthy and amazing family. Brandon said:

“We have taken him in as one of our own ..Even my kids say he’s their big brother, and they love it.”

Under the protection of his new found family, Anthony really started to flourish. He stopped stressing about his next meal, and where it would come from would come from, he learned to drive a car too, he even had his own bedroom and got his very first job too. Anthony really did see some light at the end of the tunnel for the first time. Later this month, he will become the first person in the family in over 30 years to graduate from high school, on time! Anthony really is very pleased and happy, and thankful too, that everything turned out the way it did… He said:

“If he weren’t there that night, there would be no one else, in my opinion”

“I don’t think I would be here …I wouldn’t be the person I am, I could be in jail for all I know.”

Anthony is now planning a future in the Army, then anything is possible, he said:

“I feel as though there’s not a lot stopping me, at this point”

Flight attendant comforts 9-year-old girl during panic attack

By

With her Three children, Erika Jeorgean Swart got on board the plane, after they took off into the air, the reaction from her 9-year-old daughter completely took her by surprise! Gabby became super anxious about going from Orlando to Newark, it really did confuse her mom. Before this, as a little girl, she had flown, so Erika was really shocked when her daughter suddenly got a real fear of flying all of a sudden! Gabby was finding it difficult during the whole flight and mom was able to see the panic and stress in her daughter’s eyes. Gabby, who happens to be a Type-1 diabetic, was really trying to stay calm, but it really was not working in the least bit. As well as that though it was making her blood sugar levels take a dive! Erika thought that her daughter wasn’t really disturbing other passengers, however, all of a sudden a flight attendant showed up all of a sudden and gave Gabby an “extraordinary drink” to keep her calm. In any case, staying silent was not Erika’s thing, and the mother promptly took social media after seeing what the guy had done for her little girl. Her husband wasn’t together with her on this flight, she really had a hard time making an attempt to create certain all 3 of her youngsters behaved themselves. Then again an attendant called Garrick decided by himself to help out. Mom then decided to write an even bigger post on Southwest Airline’s Facebook page to allow them to recognize what one of their flight attendants was up to:

“This is Garrick, an employee of yours working flight 1264 flying from Orlando to Newark…”

She also took a pic of the guy, that the big bosses at Southwest could easily identify him. Instead though, rather than firing him for being awful, Erika really praised him for the super sweet things he had done!

“Throughout the flight, he tried making her laugh and bringing her special drinks. As we were getting closer weather was rough and there was a bit of turbulence. Gabby began having a complete panic attack on the descent.”

Facebook/WYN 106.9
Garrick could tell that Gabby was struggling to stay brave and composed, so he paid extra special attention to her. He even asked if it was okay if he could sit in the empty seat next to her! “During extremely rough turbulence she began crying and grabbed his arm, he gently told her she could hang on as long as she needed to.” “Just after this due to the extreme stress she was under her blood sugars began dangerously crashing.” “He got up from his seat to get her an orange juice and came right back to sit with her. She asked again if she could continue to hold his arm while the plane was landing.” As the plane began its decent Garrick distracted Gabby, he cleverly talked to her about fun stuff. For about half an hour the caring father in him, who also has a daughter about her age, chatted to the little girl about school and pets!
Facebook/Erika Jeorgean Swart
This Guy knew just what he needed to do, by the time the plane touched down, Gabby was calm and asleep!

“Once on the ground while taxiing to the gate he came on the intercom and announced that his friend, Gabby, in the front row overcame her fears of flying and asked for a round of applause.”

“The whole plane clapped for her. It was a wonderful experience on Southwest. We are forever grateful to have met such a beautiful, selfless soul.”

William from Southwest said that flights can be really scary for some people and that their flight crew really care about the people that travel with them. They said:

“It warms our Heart to see such kindness and carrying from one of our amazing Flight Attendants, and we can’t even tell you how proud we are of your daughter for getting through the flight.”

The flight attendant will really get the rewards and recognition he well deserves, how awesome! Please SHARE this lovely and sweet story with friends and family!

Dad’s Message About His Childhood Neighbor Is So Heart Warming

By

Even in the darkest times, when as a country we seem so divided, it’s evident that there are still hopes and love, glimmers of greatness. This story has just that, a guy called Cody Shugart and Mr. Chip the childhood neighbor. From the very beginning, when Cody was very little, he felt a real pull to be a father, without his own father figure the road to becoming a father was more than challenging until Mr. Chip came to help!
Facebook/Aubrie Shughart
For years Cody was quiet about the relationship he had with Mr. Chip for tens of years, then one day he posted a photo the guy and his baby boy and it absolutely went viral! But instead of being quiet about it, let it pass and fade away, Cody stood up and spoke out, to say why the photo was so important. He said:

“So a lot of people like this picture. So I wanted to take a minute to tell the story.

Milton West was my childhood next door neighbor. I knew him as Mr. Chip. He retired from DOW chemical as an operator. He has always been there for me since I was two years old.

Growing up without a father was always difficult for me. But the Good Lord surrounded me with great men — Mr. Chip was one of them.”

Facebook/Aubrie Shughart

“He constantly preached the value of an education, taught me how to take care of a yard. He taught me to see people for who they are, not what they look like. He taught me how to treat my mother like a saint and many other life lessons. His contributions to me becoming a good son, man, and father was huge.

I am forever grateful for God putting him in my life.

So this past May my wife and I had a little boy named Bob Wayne Shugart. When Mr. Chip and his wife Shirley saw him they fell in love with him. They babysit him sometimes and we go and visit when we can. The last time we were over there Mr. Chip said he wants to be called ‘POP.’ He says that’s his grandson.

So we had to come up with a name for his wife. We decided on Lolli!

So we tell Bob Wayne we are going to see Lolli Pop! I’m grateful that Lolli and Pop will be part of my son’s life. If he learns half of the things from Mr. Chip as I did he will become a great son, man, and father.

Every day I read something negative and how race relations are worse than ever. I disagree and I hope this is a positive loving message to many people. This is just one story in little ol’ Victoria, Texas. I’m sure there are millions of similar stories across the United States.”

Cody’s photo really is proof that as long as we are good human beings then we really can get along and love each other, hopefully, Lolli and Pop will still be around for many years to ahead, then Bob Wayne can learn as much from them as his father also did too.
Facebook/Aubrie Shughart
When Cody posted this is circulated like wildfire, in just a few days it was like more than 367,000 times and had more than 122,000 shares too. Please SHARE this sweet story with your friends and family!

Cops Called To Elderly Woman, What They See In Kitchen Sends One Of Them Right Out The Door!

By

Each day without fail there is a real tragic event that happens, we can ignore it and turn off the Television, even block out and ignore the news, but cops don’t have that luxury at all, they must watch and investigate! There are things that they see that can’t just then be unseen, these officers are constantly exposed to awful events and sights! This one scene that officers Kristen Miller and Jessica Van, of the Gainesville police, saw was a sight they would remember forever, they were fast thinking and lept into action straight away! They were doing what was meant to be a routine welfare check on an elderly woman, but the Georgia cops discovered something in the kitchen that made one of the cops head for the door. No one should ever have to see something like this! We all think of cops as tough as old boots, but to be honest, they are just other human beings like you and me, this encounter with the elderly person had the two cops in tears. Gainesville Police Department’s Facebook page described what happened:

“Earlier today Officer Kristen Miller responded to a welfare check on a 92-year-old female, her family was worried for her because her electricity and water had been out due to unforeseen circumstances. Officer Miller arrived on scene and found that all the food in the refrigerator had spoiled and she was out of water.”

Most folks are quite capable of looking after themselves, but as they get older, generally, people get less capable of looking after themselves properly, health and mobility reduce over time. But, this case the 92-year-old woman wasn’t even aware of the basic necessities of life anymore!
Facebook/Gainesville Police Department
For the sake of humanity no one should have to live in such a poor condition, the cops were really heartbroken by it, they sprang into action and made sure she had just what she needed and she was taken care of!

“Officer Miller found out that she had no means of transportation and couldn’t make it to the store. Officer Miller and Corporal Jessica Van immediately took action, Cpl Van stayed with the female while Officer Miller went to the store and purchased some consumable items and water with her personal money.”

One of the cops, Officer Miller, went to the shops to get some non-perishables, groceries, Gatorade etc so that the woman would at least have a little energy, some cookies because we all need some comfort food now and again!
Facebook/Gainesville Police Department
The Police Department also said that they are working towards getting Cynthia’s utilities all looked after too. Protecting and caring for the community is a priority, and it really does show too. “The elderly female and her family were very grateful for Officer Millers selfless act and were glad to have her respond the way she did. This is what 90% of police work is about. We are PROUD to SERVE.” This is just one tiny little example of the things that the police officers do every moment of the day that just goes unnoticed normally. The officers really acted out of the kindness of their hearts! Please SHARE this lovely and inspirational story with your friends and family!

Dying boy with terminal cancer says ‘ Dad I gotta quit’ – Dad makes promise that leaves him choking back tears

By
Kelly White

As a parent, there are some things that we simply never want to have to discuss with our children, without a doubt the toughest is having a discussion with your child regarding his passing away! Sadly though that is just what this father had to do! Bill Kohler was just in this position with his son, Ayden, who has been found to have a diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma, which is as serious as it sounds! This illness, DIPG for short is a very rare condition that causes a problem with the bain stem, commonly patients don’t live for more than a year after diagnosis of this condition. HIs son’s case was even more severe and he didn’t just have one but he had two brain tumors, he knew that he was dying, what a brave boy! His father was a medic and had completed his tour in Iraq, Kohler, so he knew a lot more than the average parent would about these things, especially about what it was like to lose people, he just didn’t expect it to be his son he was going to lose! He really did try everything he could to get his son to some clinical trials, as it was likely his best chance of either beating it or at least getting longer then he would have without any treatment, but he got turned down at every turn. He said:

“I was a medic in the war, you know, and you fix things …And this was something I couldn’t even touch.”

There and then he made a promise to himself: If he was not able to cure his son’s disease then he would at least do everything in his power to make the time he had left as meaningful and enjoyable as he could. He met WWE wrestling stars, spent time chatting to celebrity chef Guy Fieri using FaceTime, he hunting in the woods with his dad, and joined team members of the York Generals, a semi-professional football team to help them with a fundraiser. His mother said:

“We looked at the day, and we looked at how we could make that day the best we could …Every day.”

There came the times when it was all becoming too much for him and he just couldn’t even walk, eat or even breathe very well… such sad times, but he manages to do so much! He then said the words to his father, his father hoped he would never have to hear those words from his son:

“Dad, I gotta quit!”

His dad answered his son, but there was only one way he could find the strength to do it, he said:

“I’ll make you a promise. If you’ve fought as much as you can and as hard as you can and you feel you fought that hard, I promise you it’s OK to quit.”

Ayden fought hard and carried on, for seven months and seven days from the time he had his diagnosis, his fight was over, he had only one final request: He said in the end:

“If people gather to remember me, I want them to dance, sing, and take group pictures …If anyone asks how I want to be remembered, please say happy, funny, athletic, wise, fighter, caring, and selfless.”

Ayden has passed away sadly, but his legacy lives on, donation made in his name to the Johns Hopkins Kimmel Cancer Center continue to pay for the much-needed research against DIPG! Please SHARE this amazing and important story with your friends and family!
