When they laid eyes on him, hospital staff warned his parents to prepare for the worst

Every parent out there has one wish, and that’s their children to be healthy. Sadly, not every family is granted this desire.

When Crysie and Ryan Grelecki from Marietta, Georgia, learned they were expecting a baby, they were over the moon. During the first ultrasound, everything seemed fine with their baby, but as Crysie entered her 20th week of pregnancy, one of the nurses noticed something odd about the baby. The ultrasound showed that the little one’s head was quite bigger than expected so she called experts to determine if there was something wrong with this family’s unborn baby.

Unfortunately, baby Parker was diagnosed with hydrocephalus, an abnormal buildup of fluid in the ventricles (cavities) deep within the brain, while still in his mommy’s womb.

Cryise and Ryan were uncertain about their son’s future. One thing they were certain about, however, was that they would never give up on him.

“Throughout my pregnancy when I would let my thoughts spiral downward with thoughts of “what if” and just plan fear, God would remind me of a song. The lyrics that would play over and over in my head and fill me with His peace went like this – “God will make a way, when there seems to be no way, He works in ways we cannot see He will make a way for me … He will be my guide, hold me closely by His side, with love and strength for each new day God will make a way,” Crysie shared on Facebook.

Parker was delivered through C-section at 39 weeks. When he turned 2 days old, he had undergone his first ever surgery, and more followed, but he ended up winner after each and any of them.

Doctors helped release the pressure in his brain by draining the fluid. This allowed his brain to develop naturally.

“I was by his side the whole time—talking to him, praying over him, holding his hand, rubbing his head. That unconditional love just rushes over you, and here is this helpless baby that’s been entrusted to me and I can’t do anything for him,” dad Ryan said.

Doctors performed craniofacial surgeries to correct his skull malformation, but they knew they were facing a huge challenge.

“Our goal was to go in and re-expand the skull, open the skull up and separate those bones that had grown together. And, that was basically what we did— getting the space for his brain to grow and grow normally,” Joseph Williams, M.D., Chief of Plastic and Craniofacial Surgery at the hospital said.

When he turned four weeks old, Parker started physical therapy and by the age of 20 months, he had already undergone seven surgeries.

Luckily, he reached many of the milestones and even started walking, skipping the crawling phase, which made his parents extremely happy.

Crysie and Ryan are forever grateful to the hospital and the doctors who helped save their son. This isn’t the first time very successful recovery stories to come out of Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta all thanks to the experts working there and the hospital’s world-famous rehabilitation program.

Queen Elizabeth final ‘sincere wish’ changed the monarchy forever

Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II, had spent 70 incredible years on the throne of Great Britain before she passed away at the age of 96.

“The Queen died peacefully at Balmoral this afternoon. The King and the Queen Consort will remain at Balmoral this evening and will return to London tomorrow,” Buckingham Palace said in a statement.

Queen Elizabeth will always be remembered as an iconic figure in the British history. Her reign saw 15 different Prime Ministers, from Winston Churchill to the newly-appointed Liz Truss.

It was reported that her closest family travelled to Scotland to be by Her Majesty’s side during the final moments of her life. Charles, who took the throne and became King of the United Kingdom and the 14 Commonwealth realms, shared his devastation over his mother’s passing.

“The death of my beloved Mother, Her Majesty The Queen, is a moment of the greatest sadness for me and all members of my family,” King Charles said in a statement.

“We mourn profoundly the passing of a cherished Sovereign and a much-loved Mother. I know her loss will be deeply felt throughout the country, the Realms and the Commonwealth, and by countless people around the world.”

 “During this period of mourning and change, my family and I will be comforted and sustained by our knowledge of the respect and deep affection in which The Queen was so widely held.”

LONDON – SEPTEMBER 09: Tributes are placed outside Buckingham Palace on September 09, 2022 in London, United Kingdom. Elizabeth Alexandra Mary Windsor was born in Bruton Street, Mayfair, London on 21 April 1926. She married Prince Philip in 1947 and acceded the throne of the United Kingdom and Commonwealth on 6 February 1952 after the death of her Father, King George VI.

Prior to her passing, media reported that the Queen was under medical supervision as her health was fragile.

BBC One suspended its regular program amid the concerns over Queen Elizabeth’s well-being.

Prime Minister Liz Tuss issued a statement saying that she received the news of the Queen’s passing around 4.30 p.m. local time.

“We’re all devastated by the news that we have just heard from Balmoral. The death of Her Majesty the Queen is a huge shock to the nation and to the world. Queen Elizabeth II was the rock on which modern Britain was built,” Truss said.

“Our country has grown and flourished under her reign. Britain is the great country it is today because of her,” she added.

“We are now a modern, thriving, dynamic nation. Through thick and thin, Queen Elizabeth II provided us with the stability and strength that we needed.”

Tuss then spoke of the new monarch of the country, King Charles, and said, “We offer him our loyalty and devotion, just as his mother devoted so much, to so many, for so long. And with the passing of the second Elizabethan age, we usher in a new era in the magnificent history of our great country, exactly as Her Majesty would have wished, by saying the words ‘God save the King.’”

Queen Elizabeth was crowned on 2 June 1953 and her days on the throne of the country have been defined by an unwavering consistency and devotion to duty. She provided stability and security to her people and not only witnessed history being made over the course of her reign and life but was pretty much part of it.

Her passing left a hollow that is hard to be filled. Her heir, King Charles, certainly has big shoes to fill.

World leaders, as well as celebrities, offered their condolences, among them was President Joe Biden, who said that Her Majesty stood with the US in solidarity during their “darkest days after 9/11. 

Frend President Emmanuel Macron spoke of her as a “friend of France,” and Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau described her as one of his favorite people in the world who was a constant in Canadian lives.

The Queen’s funeral is expected to take place in the days that follow.

Prior to her Platinum Jubilee, Queen Elizabeth addressed Camilla’s role in the monarchy. It was expected that the Duchess of Cromwell become Princess Consort once Charles takes the throne, but the Queen changed that recently and Camilla is now Queen Consort. According to the media, it was one of Queen Elizabeth sincere wishes.

“And when, in the fullness of time, my son Charles becomes King, I know you will give him and his wife Camilla the same support that you have given me, and it is my sincere wish that, when that time comes, Camilla will be known as Queen Consort as she continues her own loyal service,” Queen Elizabeth said.

Our thoughts and prayers are with the Royal Family.

Queen Elizabeth spent many summers at Balmoral Castle throughout her life.

Prince Charles and Prince William, as well as other members of the royal family, were reported to have travelled to Scotland to be by her Majesty’s side.

Just days before her passing, Queen Elizabeth met with Truss at Balmoral and asked her to form a new government following Boris Johnson’s resignation.

Jennifer Garner says married life and raising kids with Ben Affleck was a ‘total circus’

Celebrity marriages never seem to last. Of course, there are a few exceptions, but the truth is that most of these unions are short-lived.

Whether it is the pressure that comes from being in the spotlight most of the time, or the infinite temptations that await around the corner, celeb marriages are more likely to fail than those of ordinary people like you and I. According to Marriage Foundation, celebrity couples divorce at nearly twice the rate of the general population. And if one believes that these people have it easy when it comes to moving on because of all the money and influence they possess, the reality is that going through breakup under the watchful eye of the wide public makes things even harder.

Actress Jennifer Garner had her big breakthrough with the movie Alias, which helped her make a name for herself and become America’s sweetheart adored by millions.

So, it didn’t really come as a surprise that when she and actor Ben Affleck tied the knot, all eyes were on them and the media couldn’t get enough of their private life.

However, when they welcomed their three children into their lives, things turned, according to Garner, a ‘circus.’

In an interview with PBS’s Kelly Corrigan, she opened up about the life under constant watch by the paparazzi. She couldn’t even attend a soccer match and be a normal parent because of the media pressure. “Anywhere that we went, it was a total circus. My one daughter tried to play soccer, and it was such a zoo for the families that they just said, ‘can you please not.’” 

Even when she took her sick children to the doctor’s, the paparazzi were there waiting for her eager to snap as much photos as possible and come up with a juicy story. “For 10 years there were at the very least six cars, and often 20, outside of our house, and outside of school and at the pediatrician’s, and you’re begging them, ‘Please step aside from the pediatrician’s door. I have a sick kid, please.”

Eventually, Garner and Halle Berry worked hard and helped pass a law that protects the children of celebrities from the paparazzi. Garner acknowledged that Barry deserves more credit for their achievement.

The law helped protect her children, but not her marriage to Ben Affleck. Is the media partially responsible for her failed marriage? Jennifer Garner believes the answer might be yes.

Young girl received a doll as a gift; however, when she tried to play with it, she became terrified and screamed!

Grace Hyde, an 8-year-old girl from Lincolnshire, was over the moon when she won a doll at a fair in Skegness. Having been enchanted with dolls and spending a lot of time playing with them, she couldn’t wait to hold her new toy in her hands. Before reaching to Grace, the doll was placed at the tombola booth at the fair.

Once she got the doll in her hands, Grace screamed and told her sister that she pricked her finger on a filthy syringe that was hidden beneath the figurine’s layers of petticoat.

When the sister informed their mother of what had happened, the woman was left in complete shock. 41-year-old Katie feared that her daughter could have contracted a virus or another disease. The needle was placed there on purpose, but no one could have guessed who could do such a thing.

“I am appalled that my daughter was poked by a filthy needle,” Katie said.

“A needle, which could have easily been used to inject drugs.

“I believed the needle may have been a diabetic one, but the police stated it was improbable because it had a plunger and the majority of diabetics use pens that already had the prescribed amount of insulin in them.

“As a parent, you want to keep your kids safe, so it’s horrifying to think that playing with a doll they won at a tombola may endanger their life.

“When I first saw the needle, I was astounded and couldn’t believe what I was seeing.”

The girl was tested for HIV and additional viruses, but they have to wait three months for the results. She was immediately immunized against hepatitis B and tetanus. Katie, however, explained that before they receive the all-clear, they would need to wait around a year, which is a huge amount of time spent in uncertainty.

When Katie returned to the fair and told the organizers about the horrific incident, they were puzzled. The person in charge of the lottery said that he purchased the dolls at a car boot sale.

“I believe that these vendors really need to exercise caution in what they sell. If they purchase items from car boot sales, anything could be inside,” the worried mother said.

“I shudder to consider what might have transpired between the injury and Grace’s telling me.

“There’s no doubt that it changed us all. Now that I’m much more aware of these things, I check all the kids’ toys before they play with them.”

Now, Grace doesn’t like dolls like she used to. In fact, she’s scared to play with them any longer.

Kris Bell, the event’s co-organizer and head of the Skegness Carnival Committee said: “It was horrible.

“It must have been a terrible moment; I can’t even begin to picture the suffering the family must be going through.

“Even though we are merely volunteers, we take what we do extremely seriously, and this is not the time for impulsive decisions.

“From a personal standpoint, I’d advise any organizations dealing with used items to start being more careful with how they treat the goods.”

We hope Grace would be just fine and the needle was just a prank and won’t infect her with anything.

Katie is sharing this story in order to raise awareness and remind parents to be extra cautious in order to avoid incidents like this one.

Kid calls 911 and has the funniest conversation with confused 911 operator

Little children can be demanding, but they bring so much happiness. They can easily make you laugh with their innocence and how they see the world with their tiny eyes.

Some are misbehaving, and others tend to listen to what they are told. But one thing is certain, young children are quick-thinking and fun to be around.

A four-year-old boy named Johhny had a hard time finishing his math homework. All those numbers were just too much for him to handle, so he decided to ask for help.

Thinking of who might come in handy and help him with his problem, he remembered that it is the police that help those in trouble, so, without thinking twice, Johnny called 911.

When the person on the other end of the phone realized what was going on, and that Johnny wasn’t really in trouble, they didn’t get mad at all. At the end of the day, Johnny was way too young to know what sort of problems the officers solve. What’s most, the kind dispatcher even walked Johnny through some of his homework.

As he was on the phone, his mom walked into the room and saw him talking to someone. When she asked who’s on the phone, Johnny casually told her it was the police and explained that he called them because it was her who told him “If I need help to call somebody.”

It is obvious that his mom wasn’t very happy with what he did, and she can be heard in the background exclaiming, “I didn’t mean the police,” and that’s when the conversation ends so we can never know what happened next. Chances are Johhny was scolded off for calling the police when there was no real emergency around, or his mom found the entire thing fun and laughed.

The girl who looked like a doll is now 9 years old – This is her today

When baby Aira was born, her parents knew she was somewhat special. With her blonde hair and big blue eyes, Aira looked stunningly beautiful and many agreed that she resembled a doll.

Although she was still just a baby, her parents decided she should be part of commercials, so they took her to a number of modelling agencies, many of which were interested to work with her.

Almost overnight, photos of Aira flooded social media and people were convinced she wasn’t real but a photoshopped photo of a cute-looking toddler. But Aira was real, and she was dubbed one of the most beautiful girls in the world.

Sadly, her engagements with modelling robbed her of her childhood and everything kids her age did. She didn’t attend kindergarten and was in front of a camera most of the time.

However, as she reached five years of age, modelling agencies were no longer interested in her as she started resembling any child out there. She wasn’t invited to photoshoots and fashion shows.

These days, Aira is nine years old, and she still gets modelling gigs, but it is very rare.

She is active on social media, but there are no photos of her from her early days when she was dubbed doll-girl.

The wedding is the day two people commit to each other and this wedding was unique

The day two people say ‘I do’ is the day they commit to one another and dream of a future together.

The wedding ceremony of a Portuguese couple, Jefferson and Jennifer, was a truly unique one. As the couple was about to say their vows, Jefferson interrupted the ceremony. The guests kept wondering what was going on, and Jennifer got confused as well. Would this be one of those wedding when one person decides they don’t want to proceed with the ceremony. Would she be left at the alter?

No, it wasn’t why Jefferson asked for a little break. As he asked from the priest to stop for a while, he had something else on mind.

As everyone was early waiting for his next move, Jefferson turned to his future wife’s daughter, Giovanna, a beautiful 8-year-old girl, and told her he loved her as if she was his own daughter.

“I extend to you my affection. I won’t fail you; I’ll look out for you, keep you safe, and never let you down,” he told Giovanna, who was carefully listening to the words her new dad uttered.

She was so touched that she took the microphone and thanked Jefferson for the love he held for her and her mommy.

Those witnessing the heart-warming moment couldn’t stop tears of joy running down their faces.

Couple try for a girl “one last time,” End up with quintuplets

Megan Hulen and her husband Joshua were happy to have two boys. However, deep down, they always wanted a daughter, too. So, when their younger boy turned two, they decided to have yet another baby, hoping it would be a girl. They would have been equally excited with a third boy, of course, but having a girl was their big wish.

Eventually, Megan fell pregnant. However, when she had an ultrasound, doctors shared some news that left the entire family overwhelmed. There were five babies inside Meghan’s belly, she was carrying quintuplets.

What made everyone shocked is that she conceived naturally, not through a medically enhanced procedure.

“Went to our first ultrasound at six weeks and found out that there were five,” Megan said.

“Pretty shocking. Exciting and terrifying all at once, I’d say,” dad Joshua said.

So, did this family have their wish of having a daughter come true? Yes, and not once, but four times. Meghan and Joshua welcomed four beautiful girls, Chloe, Emma, Allison, and Madison, and baby boy Adam.

Being born at 32 weeks, a pregnancy like Meghan’s happens once in 43 million times.

At the same time, these proud mom and dad were the first couple to have quintuplets in the state of North Dakota!

“It’s miraculous but overwhelming all at the same time,” Joshua said.

During the pregnancy, Meghan and Joshua weren’t certain if all of their babies would survive as it is not unusual in multiple pregnancies for some of the babies to die inside the womb.

“They’re not viable, or one or two vanish, or those types of things happen,” Megan said. “And so we thought, ‘OK, there’s not going to be five. There’s going to be two, three, or something. We went back after a week, and there were five heartbeats.”

Although raising 7 children under one roof is a demanding task, these parents love it.

“We’re super excited and happy to have a big family. It’s bigger than what we anticipated, but we’re blessed, and we’re happy about it,” Joshua said.

“And at some point in the future, when we get to sleep again, we’ll be thankful for that too,” he added.

We wish this beautiful family only the best life brings.

Pierce Brosnan opens up about his wife’s passing

Charming Pierce Brosnan, best known for portraying agent 007, has had quite a career in the film industry. Landing the ultimate macho role of James Bond marked his professional life, but at the time he was about to take off with his first box office hit, Brosnan suffered a personal tragedy that changed his life forever. His wife and great love of his life, actress Cassandra Harris, lost her life to ovarian cancer.

Brosnan and Harris met back in 1977 while she was still married to husband Dermot Harris, with whom she had two children, Chris and Charlotte.

Brosnan was said to have been smitten by Harris’ charm and beauty. She was five years his senior, but he fell for her instantly and the two married five years later. After the passing of Harris’ first husband, Brosnan officially adopted her two children. The couple went on to have a child on their own, son Sean.

“We just clicked as a family,” the actor once revealed. “To begin with I was Pierce, then I was Daddy Pierce, and then I just became Dad. Charlotte and Chris have just been amazing in my life.”

When Sean was welcomed into the world, the family seemed complete. But then, in 1987, Harris received the news of the devastating diagnosis. She battled cancer for four years before passing away.

Brosnan recalled that the night he lost his wife was the longest of his life.

“I was in a helpless state of…confusion and anger. She was comforting me,” he told People as he opened up of the tragic loss he suffered.

“She has made me the man I am, the actor I am, the father I am.

“She’s forever embedded in every fibre of my being. She’s there with me every day. I was so blessed to have met someone like that.”

Years after Harris left this world, Brosnan suffered yet another heartbreak when his adopted daughter Charlotte was diagnosed with the same form of cancer as her mother. She too passed away, leaving behind her two children and a husband. This loss brought back many bitter memories for Brosnan who was grief-stricken.

“Charlotte fought her cancer with grace and humanity, courage and dignity. Our hearts are heavy with the loss of our beautiful dear girl. We pray for her and that the cure for this wretched disease will be close at hand soon,” the actor said in a statement.

Today, Brosnan is married to wife Keely Smith with whom he has two children.

“I don’t look at the cup as half full, believe me. The dark, melancholy Irish dog sits beside me from time to time,” he told Esquire.

“To watch someone you love have his or her life eaten away bit by bit by this insidious disease, that kind of sorrow becomes an indelible part of your psyche.”

Brosnan says it was Smith who helped him move on with “a strength I wouldn’t be able to live without.”

“I have experienced both being a widower and finding love again. Therefore, I am aware that there is hope and that you must learn to move on,” Brosnan previously told the

We are so very sorry Pierce Brosnan was forced to endure the loss of people he loved unconditionally.

Jere Burns remains tight-lipped on whether or not he’s had plastic surgery

Sitcom Dear John was a huge thing when it first aired back in 1988 and during the years that followed. The series followed the life of John, a divorcee who lost his house to his ex-wife and ended up into an apartment in the Rego Park neighborhood of Queens where he joined the One-To-One Club, a group of people who are divorced and single.

Actor Jere Burns played the role of Kirk Morris, a cocky, self-styled ladies’ man who would have probably been dubbed ‘creep’ if the series was filmed nowadays.

Dear John was Burns’ big breakthrough, and his career only went upwards throughout the years.

The truth is that Burns into sports during hight school and while at university but acting ‘interfered’ with his plans of becoming an athlete after he joined the drama program at the private high school in Cambridge he attended.

Getty Images

He was into acting and relocated to Manhattan to attend NYU Tisch School of the Arts – but the aspiring actor left after a year and a half. At the time, he was 25 and his girlfriend, whom he later married, was pregnant.

Then, just as he was about to give up acting for good, a friend of his offered him a place at the New York Shakespeare Festival. There, Burns got the chance to closely follow the work of two aspiring actors who later made it big in the film industry, John Malkovich and Gary Sinise.

Finally, in 1988, Burns was casted for the role of sleazy Kirk Morris. The show was a huge success and Burns became a household name.

Speaking of his celeb status, Burns said in 1990, “People say, ‘Is it a pain in the neck that people recognize you in the streets?’ No, it’s flattering. It’s gratifying. That’s not why I do what I do, but it’s a nice byproduct. Trying to affect people, trying to make a difference in some way – touch people. It seems a little cliched to say that when you’re in a half-hour sitcom and playing a guy like I play, but that’s the way I view it.”

What followed were some more successful projects, such as his role in the hit series Breaking Bad, where he portrayed the group leader for a Narcotics Anonymous meeting as a part of a twelve-step program, which main character Jesse Pinkman attended.

Breaking Bad was so well written that you said exactly what was on the page. There was no room for any kind of improvisation or even fussing with the words. That’s not the way they, I think they were open to it, but there was no need for me to change a thing. I read exactly what was on the page every time I worked,” he told Yahoo.

Most recently, the Massachusetts-born actor appeared in Justified and Angie Tribeca and had a guest-starring role in an episode of NCIS: Los Angeles.

Burns was married three times and has four children.

However, besides his successful career in the industry of film, Burns’ name has been found in magazines for another reason. Apparently, people are convinced he went under the knife and had a number of procedures. In fact, they claim he went too far.

During his lengthy interview with Kevin Pollack, Jere was asked if he had worked with country singer Kenny Rogers. “I’m gonna say it was before the eye job?” Pollak asked. Burns then decided to make a joke about himself and said, “Listen, I think it looks natural. Are you kidding, what?” before he started playing around with his face.

Burns tends to keep his life private and.

We love all the roles this actor treated us with over the years, and we believe he looks awesome at 67.

Actress Sharon Stone shares awful news about family tragedy

Sharon Stone revealed the devastating news of the passing of her nephew River. The cause of death was total organ failure.

River was the son of Stone’s brother Patrick and his wife Tasha. The toddler, who was 11 months old, died just over a week away from his first birthday.

A week prior to the tragic loss, the Basic Instinct star shared a photo of intubated River and wrote, “My nephew and godson River Stone was found in his crib with total organ failure today. Please pray for him. We need a miracle.”

Sadly, he didn’t make it. Stone shared the news on the social media, writing, “River William Stone Sept. 8, 2020 – Aug. 30, 2021,” alongside a video tribute set to the song “Tears in Heaven” by Eric Clapton.

Instagram

Stone, who was also River’s godmother often shared photos of him, reminding everyone just how much she loved him. When he was a newborn baby, she posted a cute photo of him in his seat with the caption, “Look who’s going home: River William Stone, my brother Patrick and his wife Tasha’s new baby.”

River’s mother, Tasha, also posted a tribute to her baby boy who left this world way too early.

“God needed River in Heaven. I can’t say more than I needed him here on Earth because my heart is shattered into a million pieces,” she wrote. “My days will never be the same and I have no idea how I am supposed to live my life without the sweetest boy in the universe. I am crushed. River William Stone you were loved beyond measure. Leaving your hospital room today was the hardest thing I’ve ever had to do. I will ALWAYS love you my sweet baby boy.”

Sharon Stone herself is a mother of three adopted boys, Quinn, 16, Laird, 17, and Roan, 22.

“I’m now a single mother with three adopted sons, and it has been the great privilege of my life to raise them,” she shared with Vogue.

“When you adopt, you realize any child could be your child, any person could be your relative. After that you never see the world in the same way again…”

We are so very sorry for the tragic loss of the Stone family.

Years after leaving their show, Michael opens up about his relationship with Kelly Ripa

Michael Strahan, who had an impressive career as the defensive end for the New York Giants, turned to television upon retiring from playing football.

The Houston Texas native has become a media personality, appearing as a football analyst on Fox NFL Sunday before co-hosting the syndicated morning talk show Live! with Kelly and Michael. Currently, he’s the host of Good Morning America, and turns out that his departure from Kelly Ripa was a messy one.

When he decided to leave Live! with Kelly and Michael, Ripa was so shocked that she took a week-long break from the show to collect herself.

“I needed a couple of days to gather my thoughts; after 26 years with this company, I earned the right,” Ripa told her audience. “(This) started a much greater conversation about communication, and consideration, and most importantly respect in the workplace … apologies have been made.”

Together with Ripa, Strahan won a Daytime Emmy twice for “Outstanding Talk Show Host” during his tenure on the show and their ratings were just going higher and higher.

Now, six years after he left the show, Strahan revealed all about his relationship with Ripa, admitting they don’t really talk to each other any longer. According to him, their relationship never recovered after he left the show. “I learned through all that went down with that, you can’t convince people to like you,” he said in his interview for Time. “I haven’t spoken to her in a long time.”

In the past, Strahan dropped hints that things between him and Ripa weren’t smooth behind the stage while they worked together.

“I remained the same person I was from Day 1. One thing I will not do is alter my attitude for somebody else’s. I learned so much from Kelly, so much from (executive producer) Michael Gelman. When it was time to go, it was time to go. Certain things that were going on behind the scenes just caught up,” he revealed in an interview with Deadline in the past.

Actress Jane Fonda announces sad news concerning her health

Actress, former model, and climate activist Jane Fonda revealed she has been diagnosed with cancer. The 84-year-old Oscar winner took to Instagram to share with her fans that she had started chemo treatments six months ago and is dealing well.

“So, my dear friends, I have something personal I want to share. I’ve been diagnosed with non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma and have started chemo treatments,” the Grace and Frankie star wrote in her Instagram post. “This is a very treatable cancer,” she added, “so I feel very lucky.”

She further acknowledged her ‘lucky’ position because as she said, she realizes she’s privileged when it comes to having access to the best doctors and treatments. “I have health insurance and access to the best doctors and treatments. I realize, and it’s painful, that I am privileged in this,” she wrote.

“Almost every family in America has had to deal with cancer at one time or another and far too many don’t have access to the quality health care I am receiving and this is not right,” the actress added.

“Cancer is a teacher and I’m paying attention to the lessons it holds for me,” she wrote. “One thing it’s shown me already is the importance of community. Of growing and deepening one’s community so that we are not alone. And the cancer, along with my age – almost 85 – definitely teaches the importance of adapting to new realities.”

As explained by the Mayo Clinic, “Non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma is a type of cancer that begins in your lymphatic system, which is part of the body’s germ-fighting immune system. In non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, white blood cells called lymphocytes grow abnormally and can form growths (tumors) throughout the body.”

Fellow celebs and friends of Fonda took to social media to share their love and support.

Debra Messing commented: “Sending you healing light, love and strength.”

Alyssa Milano wrote, “Wishing you more strength than you need and more love than you can bear. Call me if you need anything. Always here. Always.”

Diane Keaton shared her love and admiration, writing, “We love you, Jane. You are my hero. You are a warrior. All of my life I have been in awe of all that you do. I will continue to admire the crusader you have always been and always will be.”

This isn’t the first time Fonda to be battling cancer. Back in 2010, she was diagnosed with breast cancer, and in 2018, she had a growth removed from her lips.

We wish Jane Fonda end up a winner and beat cancer again.

Man photographed mowing ex-wife’s lawn 28-years after getting divorced

When two people are in love and decide to tie the knot, they believe it’s forever. But life is full of surprises and sometimes things happen, and we are not powerful to change the fact that after some time married couples are fed up with everything going on between them and decide to put an end of the marriage.

And when there is a divorce involved in the life of two people, it usually affects both in a negative way. Most divorces are followed by arguing, fighting over the custody, and even paying lots of money to lawyers.

However, it’s not unusual for two divorced people to remain friends after they split. This happens when both the exes are reasonable people who put their children’s needs before their own. This is the case with Codie McPhate’s parents. Even 28 years after their separation, Codie’s father still mows his ex-wife’s lawn. And that is really something special.

Codie believes what her father is showing that no matter what happened between the two, he still cares for the mother of his daughter.

‘“My mom has bad knees, and my step dad works out of town. When my younger siblings questioned, ‘Why is your dad mowing moms lawn?’ I told them, ‘Because, she needed help, and he knew she couldn’t get out here to do it, so he did,’”

The girl says that besides their decision not to be together any longer, her parents have always vowed to “choose to be adults and treat each other with respect and compassion.”

Codie’s parents remarried, but that didn’t prevent them staying in touch. The daughter is getting along with her stepparents and says it’s amazing how the four of them respect each other and co-parent perfectly.

‘“This is how lucky I am to have 4 parents who respect each other, and know that at the end of the day, the only thing that matters is showing your children (Even ones that are 32 years old) how to treat people, and how to love your family, no matter how it came together,”

Codie LaChelle McPhate via Facebook

We live in a world where many consider being divorced as the greatest sin, not understanding that sometimes that’s the best-case scenario. There are couples like the McPhate’s who prove these people wrong and are a perfect example of how things can work out when you are reasonable and understanding.

As they say, good divorce is better than bad marriage, and when a relationship between two people is broken, choosing a different path is the most reasonable decision. Codie’s parents teach us that when this happens, children should be taught that it’s not always a bad thing.

Regarding her father’s act of kindness, the girl posted “He wants everyone to know ‘I’m no saint.’ He just wants to show others that you don’t need to act like an angelic pastor on lent, but that we should all choose kindness whenever we can.”

Melania Trump drops a hint at return as First Lady in first interview since leaving the White House

The period during which Donald Trump was the head of the country was filled with plenty of controversy. He, however, definitely left mark in American history.

When he left the White House, it was widely reported that his wife, Melania Trump was relieved. Apparently, she had it enough of the life as a First Lady and rumors were she wasn’t happy with the fact that her husband entered another political battle for president. Back in 2020, while Trump was yet in the race to secure a second term, a source told CNN that Melania “just wants to go home.” When Trump announced he would be running for president yet again in 2024, that same source said, “that might not go over well”.

Trump lost the elections and Jo Biden took his place, but as most of us would agree, Biden will never steal the spotlight the way Trump did.

In recent time, Donald Trump neither confirmed nor denied if he will be running for re-election in 2024, and there is a lot of space for interpretation of his recent appearances at political rallies at different countries.

In an interview for Fox & Friends, Melania dropped a hint regarding her husband’s future political plans, although it is highly unlikely that we will ever hear a straightforward answer to the question of whether Trump will try to secure for himself the most powerful seat in the world.

In the interview, Melania was to reveal her initiative to celebrate foster care month. She said her plan was to help young adults in foster care to attend college. She even Facetimed one of the recipients of a scholarship, Michael Whitesman, who thanked her for her generosity, to which Melania replied, “Study hard and get good grades.” The young man then promised, “I will, I got you, straight A’s all the way.”

However, that wasn’t all she talked about. Among the rest, the former First Lady spoke of her exclusion from the cover of Vogue Magazine, and the current administration leading the country.

“I think it’s sad to see what’s going on, if you really look deeply into it,” she told Hegseth.

“I think a lot of people are struggling and suffering and what is going on around the world as well. So it’s very sad to see and I hope it changes fast.”

Asked about what she thinks of her husband’s achievements during his years of presidency, she said, “I think we achieved a lot in four years of the Trump administration.” For the possibility of her husband running again, gorgeous Melania answered, “Never say never,” leaving many both stunned and puzzled.

Trump himself has also dropped hints that he is ready to enter a lengthy election campaign as he took the stage at the Austin Convention Center in Texas some time ago as part of his American Freedom Tour, and urged Republicans to get ready to “take back” the United States when the next election rolls around.

Joined by former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, Trump told the crowd, “I ask you to get ready to work, get ready to fight, get ready to win — and win like never before.

“Together, we will take back the House, we will take the Senate, and we will take back our country.”

We are yet to see what the future holds for the Trumps when it comes to their life in politics.

Dog won’t leave baby’s side while she sleeps – when parents learn the reason why, they call the police

That dog is man’s best friend has been proved many times. These animals are the most loyal companions one can ever ask for.

A dog named Benji, who seemed to be overprotective when it came to the newest addition to the family, worried the little one’s parents.

In fact, Benji acted strangely even when his human mommy, Jessy, was pregnant with baby Lily. They even took him to the vet to see if everything was okay with him and see why he was acting so strangely. The vet assured them that there was nothing wrong with Benji, he was just looking forward to meeting his human sister.

When Lily was welcomed into the world, Benji wouldn’t spend a minute away from her, and no matter how much Jessy and her husband David loved the attention their daughter received, they thought that their furry pal was a little bit more protective than they wanted him to be.

Benji never left Lily sleep all by herself, he was always there watching her, whether it was during the day or during the night.

However, what puzzled David was that their dog was getting anxious whenever Jessy’s best friend Anne was around. Anne was by Jessy’s side during her pregnancy, and she even offered to babysit the baby whenever they were in need of a helping hand. So, when David brought up the question, Jessy got mad. She didn’t want her friend to be accused of anything, because she was the first person Jessy turned to when she was in need of a friend during the past couple of years.

Since Benji was getting particularly anxious during the night, David decided to install security cameras in Lily’s room. When Anne heard of it, she asked why he would do that, which had David thinking even more. Was Anne doing anything to Lily? Was that the reason Benji didn’t like her? If so, the dog wouldn’t be that anxious at night, when Anne wasn’t around. There were so many questions messing up with David’s mind, and he couldn’t find the answer no matter how much he tried.

Days passed by, and David didn’t notice anything strange after reviewing the footage. But then, he realized that the videos the camera captured during the night were compromised.

He then decided to make a separate encrypted backup every day for the night recordings, and what he saw chilled his blood. Someone was entering Lily’s room through the window during the night.

The following day, they alerted the police. However, not being able to clearly see the person entering the baby’s room it was hard to identify him or her. When the police entered Lily’s room, Benji wouldn’t stop barking at a wall. He was even pointing towards it. The officers decided to break it and see whether there was anything inside it. When they cracked the wall open, they spotted a safe. Inside, there was money, some jewellery and a number of documents and passports. In each of them, under a different name, there was a photo of Anne.

But where was she? Anne was nowhere to be found when the police wanted to question her.

When they checked her photo in their database, they realized that Anne was in fact a woman named Elizabeth, who was wanted for espionage in seven countries.

The reason she infiltrated the lives of Jessy and David was because David worked as the director of the national security company. He had access to the entire national security grid and Elizabeth had probably been hired by a rival company to get access to the data David possessed.

Thanks to Benji, a mystery was solved, and the family was saved from the damage Elizabeth could have easily caused.

Dad gets in heated argument with woman while changing his baby’s diaper in the ladies’ restroom at a large store

Having a baby is demanding by itself. The truth is that first-time-parents don’t have it easy, and sometimes, the society doesn’t really do anything to facilitate the lives of new moms and dads. For one, they need to find the most suitable solution regarding their child’s care in case they both do full-time jobs, and all that baby stuff, such as diapers and strollers, isn’t really cheap.

However, raising a child is the most beautiful thing there is, so all the struggles which come with it are in the shadow compared to the joy children bring.

A father of a baby took to Reddit to share a recent experience he had with restrooms and changing tables. He wanted to learn whether he was right or wrong when he decided to change his baby’s diapers in the women’s restroom since the men’s didn’t have any changing tables.

When he noticed the smell coming from the little one’s diaper, he rushed towards the bathroom section and looked for a family restroom, but since there wasn’t any, he headed towards the men’s restroom, but there wasn’t any separate space that he could use in order to change the diapers of his baby. “There was a cubicle and a few urinals, but no changing table. The sink didn’t have a counter either,” he explained in his post.

He then asked an employee for help, and she assured him there was a changing space at the men’s restroom. He went back inside and looked thoroughly but there wasn’t any.

It was then that he decided to use the women’s restroom. There was a lady there washing her hands, but he assured her he was there just because of the baby. Then another woman entered and started screaming, “Get out! You can’t be here!”

She then went to an employee and started complaining. Seeing that, this dad took his baby and rushed outside the bathroom. “I saw the woman talking to an employee and decided to leave without my stuff. The employee tried to wave me down and stop me, but I rushed out to my car, buckled my son into his carseat and left,” he explained in his post.

He then added that when he went home and told his family what happened, his mother called him ‘an idiot,’ but his wife assured him he did just the right thing.

Not surprisingly, most of the Reddit users who commented on his post took his side. “That store is 100% to blame for this. I wouldn’t be shocked if they’ve received complaints about this in the past and haven’t done anything about it,” one person wrote.

“If anything you did wrong by rushing out as if you did something wrong. You should have told the employee that there’s no changing room in the men’s and that they should do something about that,” another added.

We do believe he isn’t the one to blame for using a women’s restroom. What about you?

After seeing Prince Harry pictured with a young woman, Meghan Markle ‘suffered’ a nervous breakdown

Ever since the world learned that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle were a thing, all eyes have been on them.

They have been through thick and thin together and have made headlines with their decision to step down from their royal duties and leave Britain for America.

The infamous interview the Sussexes gave Oprah Winfrey following their departure from The Firm caused quite a stir because they brought up questions no one has ever dared to speak about openly. The couple shared that a member of the royalty questioned the color of then unborn Archie. Further, Meghan claimed that she came forward about her mental struggles, but she was silenced.

All this, along with the pressure the media imposed on the actress, was a reason enough for Harry and Meghan to leave the Royal family and start their life in California.

In the past, Harry said he would never allow the press to have an impact on his wife the way they had on his mother, and he kept that promise.

However, although they are very much in love and their marriage resembles fairytale, rumors are Meghan was jealous of Harry recently, after he was spotted in the company of another woman.

Namely, Prince Harry attended a charity polo game in Colorado recently, and a photo of the winning team, Harry was part of, was shared on the Instagram page of the Aspen Polo Club. Another member of the team was Riley Ganzi, a gorgeous 24-year-old polo player.

“Meghan went crazy as soon as she noticed Riley, who is talented, gorgeous, and very funny. She then found out that Riley’s parents are influential people in the world of polo and are close to Prince Charles,” a source close to the couple was reported to have said.

Further, the source added that Riley is the type of a woman who would have attracted the prince’s attention when he was a bachelor.

The event Harry and Riley attended helped raise $3.5 million for the vulnerable children in South Africa.

Fed-up judge gives animal abusers a taste of their own medicine

Some people can be so cruel sometimes that it makes us lose our faith in humanity. I don’t understand how hurting animals can bring joy to them, and all I ever hope for is for every person who abuses animals get what they deserve, a long time behind bars.

Besides the punishment which comes in a form of a fine and some prison time, now-former judge Michael Cicconetti gave animal abusers creative punishments in an attempt to teach them a valuable lesson that will stick with them for many years.

Judge Cicconetti is a huge animal lover and believes that animal abuse and neglect should never take place because animals are meant to be loved unconditionally, not suffer from the hands of those who are supposed to care for them.

YouTube/News 5 Cleveland

This judge’s punishments were so clever that a huge number of people heard of them and praised him for his creativity.

One time, a woman was found guilty of forcing her dog live in filth, so along with a fine, judge Cicconetti sentenced her to spend an entire day at the county’s dump.

“I want you to go down to the county dump, to the landfill, and I want them to find the stinkiest, smelliest, God-awful odor place they can find in that dump and I want you to sit there for eight hours tomorrow, to think about what you did to that dog while you smell the odor. If you puke, you puke,” he was reported to had told her.

Another woman was found guilty of abandoning a litter of kittens in the woods, so the judge sentenced her to spend a night in the woods all by herself, just to see how it feels and how scary it is.

Thank you, judge Cicconetti for your love for animals.

Tom Selleck admits he experiences health issues after over 50 years of doing his own film stunts

Hollywood is the place where dreams are made, but the number of people who get there and manage to stay is limited to those most talented and most fortunate.

Having a successful career in the film industry isn’t something many can brag about, but luckily for us, Tom Selleck is one of those celebs who has been on TV for many years.

This actor’s big break came when he was cast in the lead role as Thomas Magnum in Magnum, P.I., which brough him five Emmy Award nominations, winning one in 1985.

Before reaching stardom, however, he landed minor roles in films and series, played in a number of commercials, and made a pair of appearances on The Dating Game. Speaking of the game show, he recalled, “Humiliating and embarrassing. I lost. Twice. I wasn’t particularly funny or glib.” Selleck was then offered a spot on 20th Century Fox’s talent program, where he spent around two years before taking leave to do six months of active duty. Once he returned, he was dropped, but that didn’t break his spirit.

“The luckiest thing that happened was that I didn’t get a real job until I was 35,” Selleck shared with AARP. “When I was 25, I looked 35 but sounded 15. There are a lot of very good actors who make it as younger leading men but don’t graduate — because the audience won’t accept them as grown up.”

Magnum P.I. came at the time when he was almost ready to give up chasing a career as an actor. “I think if Magnum hadn’t worked out, I’d never have worked again in this business,” he shared in an interview with Closer Weekly

Ever since 2010, Selleck has been a co-star in the television series Blue Bloods where he plays Frank Reagan, the commissioner of the New York City Police Department. The show has been renewed for its 13th season.

Over the course of his career of many years, Selleck has done most of the stunts himself, but as it turns out, this decision has taken its toll and his body isn’t the way it was.

“My back’s kind of messed up,” Selleck shared.

“When you do stunts in movies—I do a lot of them—you’re taking a risk, but you’re also sitting around a lot. So you might do a fight scene, and then you sit in your chair, and it’s not like you have a personal trainer saying, ‘Okay, we’re ready to go, but Tom needs ten minutes of stretching and warm-up.’”

“And I think the price,” he added, “I see it with peers, I talk to them sometimes. You just see the price of all those stunts. They weren’t that hard, but I think it’s the stop-and-go of all that stuff.”

The actor keeps in shape by working on his ranch in Ventura, California. He’s also very passionate about horses, love he has passed down to his daughter.

Selleck has been married to wife Jillie Mack for 35 years. What makes their union one of the strongest in Hollywood is that he always puts his family first.

Speaking to People, Selleck said in 2012, “I quit Magnum to have a family.

“It took a long time to get off the train, but I try very hard to have balance, and this ranch has helped me do that.”

“We both thought it was the best environment for Hannah to grow up,” his wife added.

We wish Tom Selleck great health.

Why are single women without children so happy?

Some people believe that life is all about finding the one, getting married, and starting a family. But is this the norm? Certainly not. There are also those who find happiness in being single and free, and that’s totally fine.

Many people don’t want to commit, and they are not judged for their decision as they were in the past. At the end of the day, there is no exact definition of what happiness is, because different people find it in different things.

Recent research shows that single women who don’t have children are the happiest people of all. Relationships do make people happy, but according to Professor Paul Dolan from the Department of Psychological and Behavioural Science at LSE, when two people get married the women are the ones who have a higher risk for both mental and physical health problems in middle age.

“[t]he healthiest and happiest population subgroup are women who never married or had children.”  he says.

For a number of women, the stress is heavily weighted upon having a relationship and children.

Professor Dolan claims that recent data shows that the “traditional” model of success, which is a marriage and children, isn’t correlated with happiness and satisfaction. Even today, women are the ones who are expected to clean the house and do most of the chores. They also tend to do more of the emotional work in a relationship.

“There’s evidence that women spend longer on domestic tasks than men, and I think they also do more emotional work — so they still do more housework and cooking and things as well as more emotional labor,” says University of Essex Professor Emily Grundy.

In the past, women were more dependent on men. They were not allowed to work and have careers, but as years went by and all this changed drastically, women became independent, and with that, the need to be married by any cost diminished.

“Certainly, there’s a common finding from a lot of studies that women who don’t have a partner tend to do more social activities and more friends compared to women with partners whereas with men it’s the reverse — men without a partner tend to do much less of that,” says Grundy.

The truth is that men can also benefit from the lack of responsibility to another person or family, with the difference that women weren’t allowed to enjoy those benefits for a long period of time.

It is beautiful that every person can choose to do what makes them happy. If that is being in a relationship and having kids, just go for it, but never judge those who decide to stay single and don’t see themselves as a parent material.

7-month-old boy beaten by his aunt’s boyfriend refuses to die after life support switched off

When Berry and Elsie Webber went on their honeymoon, all they hoped for was to spend some great time together. They were at ease knowing they left their kids in the hands of their caring aunt who would keep a close eye on them. However, they never imagined the aunt’s long time boyfriend would do something unimaginable. That cruel man named Andrew Nolan tortured and severely beaten 7-month-old Bobby, leaving him fighting for his life. The incident took place while Elsie’s sister was out with the other kids.

The violent assault lasted for four hours. At the time he was rushed to the hospital, little Bobby had multiple skull fractures, a fracture to his vertebra, a bruised genitalia, and bite marks all over his tiny body.

Bobby was placed on life support, and the doctors’ prognosis were poor. They advised the parents to switch off the ventilator and let their son go.

The Webbers made a decision to take that advice, but once the life support was turned off, Bobby continued breathing on his own.

Was it a miracle? Definitely yes. Everyone was surprised and realized the brave little boy was willing to fight.

Today, four years after the horrific incident, Bobby is still doing his best to live his life as best as he can. The injuries he suffered from caused him to develop quadriplegic cerebral palsy and vision impairment, but that doesn’t stop him from fighting.

“Absolutely everything that Bobby achieves blows my mind,” his mom told Daily Mail Australia.

Bobby ‘The Brave’ beat the odds

“The hardest part is the constant position changing. He can’t sit up or crawl to get to where he wants to be, he relies on us to help him,” Elsie said.

“It never stops. As soon as Bobby wakes up, there is a lot of lifting involved. We give him his first round of medication and try to get him changed. We take him to the toilet because he’s toilet training at the moment. But he’s nearly completely toilet trained — which is amazing.”

“It is honestly one of his biggest achievements, and it has changed so much for us as a family. We were told all these things, he would never do any of this stuff but here he is doing it. He’s in remission from epilepsy, as well.”

Thankfully, Bobby is in remission from epilepsy and he’s involved in social activities. Currently, he attends Liberty Allstars cheer-leading every Sunday where he gets to bond and have fun with other kids with special abilities.

“It has given him the opportunity to be in a sport, and he doesn’t feel like he’s different,” Elise said.

“He doesn’t have stigma, and he gets so much joy from being at Liberty, going out into competitions and hearing everybody clap for something that he is proud of. It has been wonderful for awareness of his body.”

“He really responds so well to music and just the supportive environment for me, Bobby and Olivia is a blessing. There are people in that gym who were once complete strangers and are now family and friends.”

The story of Bobby is both heartbreaking and inspiring. He deserves all the praise for never giving up, no matter how hard things are.
