Mom’s belly won’t stop growing, people don’t believe her when she says how many babies are inside

By

-

Because of one reason or another, many people believe that they have the right to judge others without ever trying to walk a mile in their shoes.

Most times, the negative comments we make about others cause pain and affect their self-esteem, but are we really aware of that?

Eliana Rodriguez, who had a daughter, was expecting her second bundle of joy. She and her husband were over the moon.

In anticipation of holding her baby in her arms, Eliana decided to document her journey by posting plenty of photos of herself and her bump on the social media. She was eager to show her friends and followers how her pregnancy was going, but instead, she faced hard times because of what people had to say of her appearance while pregnant.

One thing was certain, her belly was pretty unique and unlike any other belly most people have ever seen.

For one, her stomach was quite big which made many assume that she was in fact carrying twins or ever triplets. Many even advised her to go and check whether doctors missed spotting another baby.

People said things like, “You are huge” “Why does her stomach look like that?” “Omg it was just one baby???????” and “It’s like she doesn’t have ANY stomach muscles to support the weight of the baby.”

Many assumed that she had a hard time dealing with her big belly and said she looked “too fat.”

“Never seen [someone’s] pregnancy belly get this way unless there was twins!!!” one person wrote, while another said: “I have [never] seen anyone able to lift their baby like that in their tummy.”

All these comments interfered with this mom’s excitement. She just couldn’t believe that some people could be so mean. “I was so excited that I wanted to share—we had been trying for a second baby and hoping for a boy and I am an open person,” she told Today.

The truth is that every belly out there that carries a souls inside is a beautiful one. Even if some of them are a bit bigger that we are all used to seeing, or they have a strange form, you never tell an expecting mother that her baby bump is not appealing.

Eliana tried to explain that her belly was in fact a normal size according to doctors, considering she measures 4’11” with a short torso.

“I was never rude back,” Rodriguez explained. “I’d answer, ‘Yes, I am huge and it’s hard.’”

Once she shared how she felt regarding the comments, many took their time to cheer her up with some lovely words of support.

“Twins or not twins no one should harshly judge, or negatively comment about a woman’s pregnant belly… different women are built differently,” one Instagram user wrote.

“It’s SO annoying. I’ve noticed people say this to almost every pregnant woman… There’s a whole baby in there, what do they expect,” another person wrote in Eliana’s defense.

Speaking to 7Life, this mom said, “Pregnancy can come in all shapes and sizes, it’s something we cannot control, and to have someone say I look gross is shocking especially from another woman.” She then added, “As women we should uplift and empower each other, not the opposite. Pregnancy is a beautiful journey and such a special moment.”

There were some concerns that Eliana had polyhydramnios, a condition with too much amniotic fluid around the baby during pregnancy. However, after running some tests, doctors assured her she didn’t really have the condition. “They did check the amount of fluids and checked the baby’s size,” she said.

When the time finally came for Eliana’s son to be born she was taken to the Centennial Hills Hospital Medical Center.

Things seemed perfect at first, but then, all of a sudden, the baby’s heart rate dropped and doctors prepared her for C-section. However, ones in the operating room, the heart rates got back to normal and Eliana gave birth naturally after only two pushes.

”I prayed so much.. I felt God’s presence. Yes it was a scary moment seeing about 9 people rush to get me prepped for surgery, I saw Cesar almost break down in tears.. but I took a deep breath and remained calm because it is HE our God who is always in control,” Eliana explained.

”He basically slipped out on his own! It was absolutely perfect! God is so good! I’ve been in so much gratitude and enjoying every moment. This experience was one for the books,” the proud mom said.

The baby was born healthy and weighter 8.3 pounds.

Congratulations on the new addition to your family, Eliana.

Remember Julia Stiles? This is why you don’t hear so much about her anymore

By

Monica Pop

-

Few actors and actresses can say their roles made history in one way or another. Actress Julia Stiles can definitely be proud of how her role as Kat Stratford in the hit rom-com 10 Things I Hate About You changed the way people saw young women. For once, 20 something year olds were portrayed as totally independent. The character of Kat was one of the few alternative intelligent and feminist characters in the era of teenage romantic comedies.

Speaking of it, Stiles said, “If I had even a small part in that evolution of confidence in women, I’m really happy.”

This movie which stole the hearts of millions of people from every corner of the Earth and helped Stiles rise to stardom wasn’t the actress’s first film ever. In fact, she started acting at the age of 11. Being born to creative and academic parents who installed in her the love for the theater, it didn’t come as a surprise that she had aspirations to find her place under the Hollywood’s sky.

When she turned 15, Stiles got a role in I Love You, I Love You Not where she starred alongside Claire Danes and Jude Law. However, it wasn’t until she landed the role of Kat Stratford, a high-school senior who loves indie rock and feminist prose and hates conformity that pretty much everyone learned about Julia Stiles.

Julia had competition from dignitaries such as Kate Hudson, Katie Holmes, Jennifer Love Hewitt, and Kirsten Dunst, but she was determined to get the role because she knew it fitted her perfectly. “The reason that I wanted that part so badly was because I thought it was so refreshing, seeing a teenage girl be feisty and opinionated and be a fish out of water, but proudly [so],” she told InStyle in 2009.

She starred opposite Heath Ledger and their on-screen chemistry seemed to be out-of-this-world. “We screen-tested Josh Hartnett, Eliza Dushku, Heath and Julia. But Julia and Heath just had the best chemistry together,” the casting director, Marcia Ross, told The New York Times in 2019.

After this smash hit, Stiles landed roles in two other Shakespeare adaptations, but she claimed it was just a coincidence.

At one point in her life and her career, she decided to attend university. Stiles enrolled the Columbia University and majored in English literature.

“Academic professionals don’t really give a s*** about me being in a movie or having to go the MTV Movie Awards. But then also people in the entertainment industry don’t really care about university. That helped me a lot,” she told The Daily Beast in 2019.

She says that college helped her stay grounded. “The good thing about being in college was that people took little interest in me because they were so preoccupied with their own ambitions and exams. Also there’s that thing in academia where movie-making isn’t supposed to be that important, it’s sort of low-brow. So that was refreshing to me and I was determined to be taken seriously,” she told Independent in 2007.

At some point in her life, she was left wondering if returning to her studies was the best choice while there were film offers waiting at the table.

“I don’t want to turn 50 and have regrets that I didn’t go back. Besides, just when I think my head might explode, it’s such a relief to go back to Columbia where they don’t care what magazine cover I’m on,” she told the National Post in 2004.

Stiles’s career turned quiet at one point and she felt like she didn’t fit anywhere, but that was about to change when she was offered to be part of Hustlers, a crime comedy-drama.

“A movie like Hustlers to me is such an affirmation that like I have a place in the film industry and stories that I’m interested in are being told,” she said.

Most recently, she’s been highly praised for her role in the crime drama Riviera, a British TV drama that found its way to the American screens.

“Now we still have a long way to go but there has been a seismic shift in the entertainment industry where I feel like the roles that are coming my way and that are available to me and my peers, whether it’s behind the camera or in front of it, is even more interesting and exciting now than what we were doing in our 20s, generally,” Julia told InStyle.

In 2017, Stiles tied the knot with camera assistant Preston J. Cook with whom she has two children together. The couple first met while they were both working with the movie Go with Me, in 2016.

We are so glad this incredible actress found her place in Hollywood again. We are looking forward to see her in many new projects in the future.

Video of dad spanking child in public divides people – Abuse or old school discipline?

By

Monica Pop

-

When it comes to parenting, there is always much debate. What some believe is the right approach to raising a child, others consider not much appropriate method.

Although kids are different nowadays than we used to be when we were their age, there are still people out there who believe that children needs spanking every now and them. Many argue that they were spanked and even beaten as young children and they still turned out all right. Others, however, believe that in the year of 2022, there is no place for “old fashioned discipline” such as corporal punishment.

This is the reason why a video of a father spanking his kid out in the public caused such stir on the social media.

He could be seen placing the boy on a chair before hitting him forcefully on the backside, to the disbelief of the passersby who witness the incident taking place right in front of their eyes.

As he finished hitting the boy, he turns to the girl who is sitting next to them and tells her to sit her ass down. Her response is a simple “okey.”

That is far too much. Way way too much. Kids are learning and growing still. They’re not full adults who understand everything. This kind of hitting is abuse

— Cat Lady Heathen🐈 (@yourfavheathen) July 27, 2020

This raised the question of whether it is ever acceptable to use force against children. It is true that kids drive their parents crazy at times when they misbehave, but is that a reason enough to beat them?

This is gross and anyone condoning it is disgusting as well. If you have to hit your kids to make them listen, you’re the problem.

— Zach Hayes (@zachhayesyt) July 27, 2020

Football quarterback Lamar Jackson commented on the video saying, “I turned out fine,” suggesting he was hit as a kid. Some users called those criticizing the actions of the father as ‘soft.’

All the people that are saying this is abuse probably disrespected their parents and lack discipline. I see nothing wrong here. Compared to how I was whooped, this is light work.

— Kendra (@kendrakeepclass) July 28, 2020

One person wrote, “I’m a black mama… I never struck my child with anything, including my hand, and she turned out fine. By the way — my black mama did whip butts and I, too, turned out fine. Parenting styles are as diverse and unique as we are as individuals.” Another one said, “Turned out fine in spite of, not because of. The fight or flight hormone is released during any physical altercation and your brain can’t decipher ‘punishment’ vs sheer violence and still releases the hormone. This creates adults prone to anxiety, irritation, trust issues. It also desensitizes the child to violence and often ends up repeating and worsening the pattern of violence.”

That’s what my parents did to me and I made two Olympic teams and finals. 🤷🏽‍♂️

— J. Carter (@MrJamesCarter) July 28, 2020

The American Academy of Pediatrics claims that those children who receive corporal punishment become more aggressive and face the risk of mental health issues. “Experiencing corporal punishment makes it more, not less, likely that children will be defiant and aggressive in the future,” the group’s guidelines to pediatricians says, according to NBC News. “There’s no benefit to spanking,” said Dr. Robert Sege of Tufts Medical Center in Boston. “We know that children grow and develop better with positive role modeling and by setting healthy limits. We can do better.”

Today, @AmerAcadPeds put out a new policy against spanking. Spanking and harsh words are harmful and don’t work. Here are 10 other ways to discipline your child: https://t.co/69y8aE9dta #AAP18 pic.twitter.com/ZliESNugjL

By

Mom captured the spirit of her dead daughter playing with her toys at her own grave

By

Monica Pop

-

When a woman named Saundra lost her two-year-old daughter, her world collapsed. Little Faviola Rodriguez was a loving and a happy child. Unfortunately, her life was cut short one day while she was left under the care of her mother’s boyfriend.

The poor mother never knew she could ever lose her little one in such a manner. She always dreamed of watching her baby daughter grow up and grow old and turn into a beautiful individual. Sadly, that didn’t happen.

Children should outlive their parents. They should be given the chance to learn, gather knowledge, make decisions, and become independent, thus start their own families and experience many beautiful things in life. When all that is taken away from them, their parents are left to deal with the pain and the grief that never fades away.

Faviola was buried at the Mosanic Cemetery in Las Cruces, New Mexico, and her mother decorated her grave with some of the toys the girl loved playing with the most. Shortly after, some people started complaining that someone was vandalizing the cemeteries. One particular family who lost their son decided to set up a camera on the boy’s gravestone. When they saw the footage, they were shocked, to say the least.

It showed something truly incredible. At first, they thought they were hallucinating, but the footage clearly showed a young girl resembling Faviola playing with the toys placed on her gravestone. At first, they thought it could be a lost child that wandered off, but after talking to the authorities, they learned no child that age was reported missing.

Eventually, they decided to share the footage with Saundra. Seeing it, she was overwhelmed.

“[The boy’s mother] told us that she had something really beautiful to show us that they had captured on their video camera,” Saundra explained. “So then she pulled out her phone and she showed it to me, and as soon as she showed me the picture I started crying.”

This mom was certain she was looking at her daughter’s spirit. There was no doubt about it. “I know that is my daughter,” she said.

Saundra believes that Faviola had an unfinished business, to help the boy whose mom took the footage go to Heaven. They were both very young when they passed away and their spirits needed one another to guide and help.

“They both have such a tragic story of things that happened to them and… both of them still haven’t gotten justice. So, I think she was definitely there to comfort him and take him to heaven.”

She then felt the urge to share her story together with photos of the beautiful footage that reminded her that her baby’s spirit was still there.

“It’s taken a lot for me to share this with everyone because for one my situation with my daughter is already sensitive for me and secondly everyone has their own beliefs but all I can do if share mine with everyone….” Speaking of the footage and the other boy’s family she added: “I know it was not only a sign from my daughter but also fate for us all to meet.”

Couple adopts rescue dog before meeting him – When the door opens to reveal him they ‘lose it’

By

Monica Pop

-

The number of homeless dogs that don’t have anyone by their side and are left to fend for themselves is pretty huge and every country is struggling to find these souls a family and a shelter. The fact is, however, that most shelters are overcrowded and can’t find a way to welcome in any more dogs so they decide to euthanize them.

One couple, Tracy and Scott Whyatt set the goal of helping these dogs and finding them forever homes instead of letting their lives to be ended.

Their rescue mission started back in 2011 and ever since a huge number of dogs have been placed with loving families. Namely, it all started when they took some dogs that were on the kill-list and transported them to places where they were more likely to be adopted. This mission was part of the initiative launched by the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA).

Neither Tracey nor Scott ever believed that saving dogs would be their full-time job in life. But they are happy and love working with these animals.

What they do is take dogs from high-kill shelters from San Antonio, Texas, and provide them with the rehabilitation they are in need of. After they feel the dogs are ready to be adopted, they put them in their trailer and together with PetSmart they travel to parking lots in Minnesota, Wisconsin, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Washington D.C., and Florida where pre-approved people interested in getting a furry friend wait for them.

“We had adopted through Tracy’s Dogs before and we had a great experience with them, and we wanted to adopt again through them,” one man who was waiting to meet his new dog said. “There are so many dogs out there who need a home that we wanted to help out.”

The reaction of most owners seeing their four-legged companions for the first time is touching and heartwarming. The doggies are equally excited to take on the new chapter of their lives.

Take a look at the video below. It’s cute beyond words, don’t you think so?

Teen sacrifices his life to save 4-year-old brother from drowning in front of their mom’s eyes

By

Monica Pop

There’s no greater pain in the world than that of losing a child. The thought that they would never see their most precious jewel ever again is devastating for moms and dads to say the least.

With the loss of a child comes grief that never fades away, but intensifies with each passing day.

The parents of Alex Harris, one of the bravest young men we’ve ever heard of, shared the heartbreaking news of his passing.

He died a hero and left a huge void in the hearts and lives of his family.

One day, Alex and his young brother Asher were swimming in the Missouri River. They had lots of fun, but then, all of a sudden, Alex noticed that his little brother got caught up in a powerful current. Without having a second a thought, he rushed towards Asher in an attempt to save his life, which he did. Unfortunately, he lost his own life in the process.

Alex held on to Asher until their mom arrived, but he was too exhausted to be able to fight any longer and simply collapsed and vanished.

His mother, Nikki, said she witnessed the moment when her son’s hands slipped. They called help right away, but Alex’s body was found the following day. He drowned.

Alex’s father, Tyson, shared a heartbreaking message on Facebook to inform his friends that they lost Alex. He explained that the young man died trying to save his little brother. He added that he wished he could take his son’s place every second of every day.

Tyson said that he has a hard time accepting the reality and although he is aware that Alex will never come back, he still has the feeling that he would wait for him in front of the car in the morning, like he did every day. The two would travel together for 15 minutes each morning, and they were both looking forward to it because it was a father-son time they used to talk about many things.

Alex’s football coach said that Alex was “simply a person who would assist somebody else out.”

This young man’s bravery will never be forgotten. He saved his brother’s life although he was aware that he could easily lose his.

Rest in peace, Alex.

Following the tragedy, the Missouri State Highway Patrol has urged people to use personal flotation devices when traveling on a river or any other body of water that is unexpected.

He explains it all on his youtube channel about his desire to build himself a small house and how in respects to his boredom that spurred him on to do it.

After a lot of thought and much consideration and quite a bit of research Luke had a pretty good idea how his plan he visualised would come to fruition!

It took him in total about a year to get the money and materials all together to do the work on the house, he mowed lawns, did fund raisers online and did jobs for anyone he could and generally did anything he could to raise money.

Luke was friends with someone who knew electrics and he helped him install all the electrics in exchange for Luke clearing out all his garage for him, trade for trade so to speak.

During his project Luke used about 75% recycled materials, a lot of things left over from his grandma’s house, the front door was a gift from the friend of his uncle!

The little house is about 89 square foot and a whole 10 feet in length at around 5 ½ feet wide, it has electricity but no plumbing, so no toilet sink or shower yet!

Luke said:

“I liked the minimalism”

“And I wanted to have a house without a huge mortgage.”

Luke has made many short videos to post on youtube, he tells us about his project, there are many people curious about it and his motivation to do it.

Luke recieved quite a lot of help from his parents both with the building and with the finances, but dad Greg ensured that it was Luke that would pay for most everything himself.

Greg said:

“It was a chance for a kid to do something more than play video games or sports”

“It teaches life lessons.”

The house is a complete dream house for a teenager, a little sanctuary for him to realx and have his own space, it has a microwave, TV and a loft with a bed, there is even a BBQ out back!

Luke diligently does his homework after school time in his little house then in the nighttime, at least some of the time, he gets to sleep there too!

Luke already has ideas and dreams of building another house, but this time a little bigger for the time when he wants to start college, he also wants to inspire others too!

He said:

“I want to show kids it’s possible to build at this age”

New parents hire repair service to fix furnace, only to find note about newborn son scribbled on the bill

Offering kindness and doing good is the quality only the best among us possess.

During a harsh winter, the second baby of the family Hulscher was born. Mom Maria and dad Jesse were over the moon and their sweet son became an older brother.

While Maria and the baby were still at the hospital, Jesse went home wanting to make sure everything was ready for the welcoming of the bundle of joy into the house. But then, he stumbled upon a problem. The furnace stopped working and he started panicking as he knew that finding a repairing company at a short notice would be an issue.

The winter was a severe one and the temperatures wouldn’t stop going down. He knew he had to act quickly before his wife and the baby came home. He was also concerned for the 2-year-old. So, Jesse called a repair service but he didn’t really expect for them to come soon. But exactly the opposite happened.

He told the staff at the Magnuson Sheet Metal why he was in such hurry for the furnace to be repaired and they were more than welcome to step in.

Once the job was done in no time, the repairman handed Jesse the bill. To his surprise, there was only a note written on it which said, “No charge. Take care of baby.”

Once this lovely story spread around, The Sun contacted the co-owner of the company, Craig Aurand, who said how the company maintains a policy of lending a helping hand to families in need during the holidays free of charge.

Teenager walks into a restaurant and surrenders her newborn to the restaurant’s staff and customers

By

Monica Pop

-

The customers at an El Patron restaurant in Jersey City, New Jersey, hoped to have some nice time and enjoy great food when all of a sudden, they spotted a young girl carrying a baby in her arms. She was in distress and blood could be seen running down her legs.

It was obvious that despite her young age of just 14, it was her who had given birth to the bundle in her arms.

Not knowing what to do and who to turn to, she entered the restaurant and surrendered the little one to two customers, Alease Scott and her boyfriend Walter Cocca, who got really concerned for both the mother and the child.

Recalling that day, Scott explained how she asked the girl if she could check the baby’s vitals. “She readily handed the baby over to me so my focus went right onto the baby,” she added.

“The baby had a color but I just saw that the breathing was a little bit labored.”

At that moment, they called paramedics and Scott made sure she kept a close eye on the baby while they arrived. She ensured the one was breathing properly. “Once I applied the oxygen mask to the baby, all of a sudden we heard the most beautiful cry and the baby started moving, she slightly opened up her eyes and then she closed her eyes but the sweetest thing was when she got hungry and she was trying to suckle on the oxygen mask so we knew she was OK after that,” Scott recalled.

“All I saw was a child who just didn’t know what to do and made a very bad decision that worked out… for the good of that baby.”

Scott was very happy she could help someone during their most difficult of times.

One of the employees at the restaurant, Frankie Aguilar, said that the staff alerted authorities of the girl who seemed to be acting strangely.

Luckily, the young mom was later tracked down and taken to the Jersey Medical Center. Despite her decision to leave the baby at a place of business instead of a Safe Haven, she was given safe passage to the hospital instead of jail, in accordance with the protections guaranteed them by her state government.

What is Safe Haven and how does it work? The idea of introducing these “mailboxes” to the United States was presented by a woman named Mónica Kelsey, who was abandoned right after birth herself. She is the founder of Safe Haven Baby Boxes. “Baby Boxes will be placed in Safe Haven locations and will allow a woman to surrender her unwanted newborn under the Safe Haven Law by placing her newborn in an electronically monitored Safe Haven Baby Box (…) These women are telling us that they want complete anonymity and Safe Haven Baby Boxes will ensure that this happens,” the website of the organization says.

It was later reported that the young mom’s parents weren’t aware that their child of 14 was pregnant and that she had given birth. Upon learning this, they took both their daughter and her baby in.

“I didn’t know she was 14 years old when she dropped the baby off to me … We don’t know what she went through. We don’t know how she ended up in that state,” Scott said in a video in which she speaks of the situation.

“So glad she chose to give the baby away and not throw it away. She is adorable. I believe she felt stuck and did the right thing. But she clearly loved the baby. So sad,” one person wrote under the video.

Mom send her teenage daughter to school with witty note

By

Monica Pop

-

Teenage years are likely to be the best years of most people’s life. Those are the days when we get to hang out with our peers, have fun, and show the world that we know everything. Most teenagers refuse to obey their parents’ ‘rules’ because they feel like they are always right and don’t need anyone to give them directions or tell them what to do.

One mom named Nicole Poppic from California is sharing one of the struggles she goes through every morning because of her teenage daughter. While her 10-year-old son and 4-year-old daughter are behaving and still need their mommy by their side at all times, 14-year-old Cara does things her way.

Namely, Cara has troubles getting up in the morning and as a result she is late for school.

Nicole shared with Today how she manages to ‘control’ Cara when she refuses to listen and now the note she wrote to the school explaining why her teenage daughter misses the morning lessons has gone viral and makes us all laugh.

Apparently, Cara ‘suffers’ from a condition called teenage-ism. Well, I guess we’ve all been there and we can all relate to this young girl.

One morning, as the family got in the car, Nicole noticed that Cara had put her headphones on and didn’t really mind what her mom was telling her.

“That is when I saw that Cara had put in her headphones and was staring out her window, completely ignoring me,” Nicole told Today. “I reached over and took her phone off her lap, unplugged her headphones, and threw her phone out the car window.”

Afterwards, she wrote the hilarious letter which said:

“To whom it may concern:

“Cara is tardy this morning as a result of a condition called teenage-ism. Adolescents across our great nation are afflicted and there is no known cure. Symptoms are multitudinous, but this particular morning she suffered from an inability to remove herself from her bed, and also felt the need to talk back to her birth giver.

“She seems to be recovering her senses after watching her cell phone fly out of the car window.

“Please call me if there’s another flare up.

“Thank you,

“Nicole Poppic.“

Once she posted a photo of it on Facebook people loved it so much that it spread like a wildfire.

We believe Nicole is an amazing mom with huge personality and great sense of humor, don’t you agree?

Olivia Newton-John fought to the end: Inside her final hours

By

Monica Pop

-

Besides being someone who always radiated joy and positivity with her presence and her dazzling smile, late actress and singer Olivia Newton-John was also someone who openly spoke of her breast cancer diagnosis and helped millions of women in her position to understand they are not alone in their fight.

Newton-John was first learned of the devastating diagnosis shortly after she released her third hits collection Back to Basics: The Essential Collection 1971–1992. This put her tour on hold and she had partial mastectomy of her right breast in just 24 hours after she learned she had cancer.

Doctors assured her that everything was going to be just fine, but she felt uneasy.

She was aware that she was someone many looked up to so she decided to go public and speak of her battle openly. Having someone as loved and as influential like her open up about cancer helped raise awareness and many praised her for her bravery.

“I draw strength from the millions of women who have faced this challenge successfully,” she said at the time.

Nine months after the surgery and everything that followed, Newton-John became an advocate for breast cancer.

She turned to healthy food and decided to spend millions on a “greenhouse” to boost her battle against cancer.

”When I was told I had cancer I kept asking myself ’Why?’ All I could think was that the cancer could have been brought about by the environment were living in,” Olivia told Sunday Mirror in 1993.

”I kept thinking maybe it was the air we were breathing and the water we were drinking in Los Angeles. I felt hemmed in, there are too many people in LA.”

In an interview with Santa Cruz Sentinel in 1994, Olivia explained that a major part of the healing process was accepting all the support from family, friends, and fans.

“As a woman, it’s sometimes very hard to focus on yourself,” she said. “We’re always focusing on our families, everybody else besides ourselves. We always come last. You know, mother always gets the smallest potato.”

In 2017, Newton-John was told that her cancer returned and this time, it spread to her spine.

“I am feeling good and enjoying total support from my family and friends, along with a team of wellness and medical practitioners both here in the U.S. and at my Olivia Newton-John Cancer Wellness and Research Centre in Melbourne, Australia,” she said. It was then that she told the public that she also had cancer in 2013.

“A lot of people see it as a fight and wherever you choose to see it, that’s your prerogative. I see it as part of my… whatever you want to call it. I see it as part of my mission, maybe,” she said.

Newton-John has spent a lot of money on cancer research through her foundation The Olivia Newton-John Foundation.

The actress’s niece, Totti Goldsmith, spoke of the last days of Newton-John’s life and said the family had a hard time watching her health decline. “It’s not a shock, we’ve known how sick she’s been, especially the last five days,” Totti, who lives in Melbourne, told A Current Affair.

She said that she and her aunt spoke through Facetime for one last time. “I told her all the things I needed to say. She was leaving us… but I could feel like she got it,” Totti shared.

“It wasn’t just the cancer that got her, it was other complications, being in a hospital and with a very susceptible immune system. She got secondary infections,” the niece said of Newton-John’s struggles during the last days of her life.

“She was really skinny and really unwell and I said to her, ‘Are you afraid of dying?” Totti recalled.

“She said, ‘Plonker’, which was my nickname, she said, ‘I’m not, I’m not afraid, I’ve done more in my life than I could have ever imagined’.

“She honestly never imagined her life would be how it was.”

Newton-John passed away on August, 8. May she rest in peace.

By

Monica Pop

-

Actress Anne Heche, who came to prominence during the late ’90s with movies such as Donnie Brasco, starring opposite Al Pacino and Johnny Depp, I Know What You Did Last Summer, and Six Days, Seven Nights, has been involved in a severe car crash on Friday, at around 10:55 a.m., and remains in critical condition. She was reported to have had her Mini Cooper crashed into a home in the the Mar Vista neighborhood of Los Angeles.

According to family representatives, she is not expected to survive.

The statement released on her condition says, “Unfortunately, due to her accident, Anne Heche suffered a severe anoxic brain injury and remains in a coma, in critical condition. She is not expected to survive.

“It has long been her choice to donate her organs and she is being kept on life support to determine if any are viable,” the statement revealed.

I feel grave concern for Anne Heche at this moment/ I have a prayer in my heart for all those afflicted with struggles that bring so much destruction and pain.

Wishing it were different for her and her loved ones. But I feel inky dark. Sad.

— Kiersten Warren (@KierstenWarren) August 11, 2022

“Anne had a huge heart and touched everyone she met with her generous spirit. More than her extraordinary talent, she saw spreading kindness and joy as her life’s work — especially moving the needle for acceptance of who you love. She will be remembered for her courageous honesty and dearly missed for her light.”

As reported by Entertainment Tonight, Heche’s oldest son, Homer, 20, is facing the pressure of making decisions regarding his mom’s medical care. Heche is also a mom of son Atlas, who is 14 years old.

“[Homer’s] being as strong as he can be. Her family is ready to surround her and be there if she wakes up. Everyone is waiting for that to happen,” the media site revealed. “They are trying to focus on getting Anne better, and it’s very hard when they have these negative distractions. Anne is in a coma and fighting for her life. She has no voice here.”

According to CNN, the accident remains under investigation. The blood analysis revealed presence of narcotics in Heche’s body. However, it would take weeks before further analysis help determine what types of drugs it is and to rule out any substances that were administered in the hospital, where she remains in a coma for six days. LAPD Officer Jeff Lee spoke of Heche’s case and explained that “her blood showed signs of impairment and that is why it is now being investigated as a felony traffic collision.”

I’m very upset and sad that Anne Heche is not expected to live.And yes she would have been arrested for driving under the influence and putting lives in danger .she still is a great artist and struggled with addiction it’s terribly sad for her children and for her friends. ✌🏼

Anne Heche lost her brother in a car crash when she was just 13.

It happened just a few months after her father, who sexually abused her, died due to complications from HIV.

What a horrific way to leave this earth.

My heart breaks for her two sons. https://t.co/JuQWvu8Ias

— Yashar Ali 🐘 (@yashar) August 12, 2022

Despite severe brain injury, the actress sustained burns as well, as the accident resulted in a fire that required some 59 firefighters to put out and caused major structural damage. An eye witness of the crash told NBC Los Angeles that it took “a crane to move the car to extract the driver. It was crazy.”

My heart goes out to
Anne Heche’s children.
No child should lose their mother at such a young age. #KidVicious🙏🏼

— KID VICIOUS🔪 (@kirkacevedo) August 12, 2022

Another eyewitness, David Manpearl, said how he left his house after hearing the crash, only to find Heche’s Mini Cooper wedged in the back wall of his neighbor’s house. The owner of the house was in a state of shock as he stood in the middle of the kitchen asking for help.

“She couldn’t move because the ceiling had come down, so there was all kinds of debris everywhere,” Manpearl said. “It got to a point where there was fire everywhere. It was all around us,” he added.

Alaska man feeds bald eagles in an incredible video seen over 9 million times

By

Getting close to wild animals is both terrifying and majestic. Not many can say they made friends with deer, elephants, or bears, but an Alaska man named Jessie Peck has gotten so close to some of the most incredible birds there are that we can’t help but get a bit jealous of him.

Living in Unalaska, Alaska, it’s hard not to stumble upon bald eagles. The population of these birds of pray is over 600 in this place of around 5,000 inhabitants. The magnificent birds are drawn there by the carrion and the waterfowl.

Of course, everyone knows that bald eagles should be avoided because they can be very dangerous, especially when they feel their little ones are threatened by humans.

“We have these signs that we put up every year to remind people that there are nesting eagles in the area,” Deputy Police Chief Jennifer Shockley told Alaska Republic. “They will do whatever it takes to protect their young, and that typically includes launching themselves at people and using their talons to lacerate their heads.”

Well, this doesn’t concern Jessie Pack much. In a video he uploaded on YouTube, and which has nearly 9 million views, he could be seen feeding a large group of bald eagles. The crowd is cheering as the birds land on the ship one by one.

Many of the people who have seen the video are simply stunned by the incredible sight.

“This is wonderful! How fortunate Alaskans are to have so many of these glorious raptors! ❤️” one person wrote.

“That would be such a majestic experiences. Hundreds of natures most beautiful creatures just coming to chill with you on your boat…so cool,” another added.

Commercial fisherman Bob Wilson told Men’s Journal: “Do I think they’re pests? Oh, absolutely. But they’re cool pests, so that’s OK. They make a mess of my boat, which is kind of the bad part, but they are our national bird and we love them anyway.”

I wish I could experience something as beautiful and as unique as feeding these awesome birds.

Three-year-old girl who had spent over 700 days in the hospital owing to a heart abnormality has passed away

By

Monica Pop

-

Baby Valentina Garnetti gained national attention after her mother, Francesca, a single mom of three, shared her life story and asked for prayers for her little one.

Since the moment she was welcomed into the world, Valentina was diagnosed with congenital cardiac abnormality. As a result, she spent her entire life at the hospital, around 700 whole days, to be exact.

Once Franceska opened up about her baby’s struggles on the social media, everyone learned of Valentina and millions of people prayed that she is cured and home with her mom and siblings.

Over the three and a half years, this little angel endured numerous treatments and four open heart surgeries. And if this wasn’t painful enough, she also experienced strokes, epilepsy attacks, and allergic responses.

Finally, in April of 2021, for the first time ever, Valentina was discharged from the University of Michigan’s CS Mott Children’s Hospital.

After her third surgery, her mom took to Facebook to share that her girl ‘was really unwell.’

Ever since her birth, she spent all her birthdays and happy moments at the hospital, and now that she was home, she was still forced to use oxygen, a feeding tube, and a bunch of medicine. “She’s not only here, but she’s also happy and flourishing,” Francesca said. “She has a great attitude about life.”

On July 16, Francesca made an urgent appeal for prayers as her child wasn’t fine and stopped breathing all of a sudden. Until paramedics arrived, she performed CPR on her baby girl. Unfortunately, when they finally arrived, they said there was nothing to be done. Valentina was dead.

Francesca said she was aware of that as she could hear her daughter taking her final breath while she was in her grandmother’s arms.

“My daughter battled so hard for so long, and her body was simply weary.”

The devastated mother said that her girl is now “healthy in paradise with a heart that is no longer damaged, and she can run, walk, speak, eat and do all the things that she enjoyed seeing other people do.”

Are thoughts and prayers are with the family during these difficult times of grief.

Husband labelled ‘immature, insensitive idiot’ after ‘joking’ about wife’s ‘traumatic’ birthing experience

By

Alexander Bored

-

Children are a blessing from God. A mother is no less than a miracle who gives birth to new lives with pain and strength. What happens in the labor room is just between the wife, husband and the doctors and nobody else’s business.

People are assuring a woman that her angry reaction was justified after she revealed that she yelled at her husband during a New Year’s Eve celebration with his family because he joked about her “traumatic” birthing experience.

In the post, the 25-year-old woman explained that she gave birth to the couple’s daughter a few weeks ago, and that, because it was her first child, she hadn’t known what to expect and the experience had been “pretty traumatic”:

I f25 gave birth to my daughter weeks ago, My experience was pretty traumatic and since it was my first, I had no clue what to expect. Forgive me for the vague details for privacy but I’ll mention all the relevant stuff, I promise.

When I went into labor I had the most difficult time of my life, I was in pain for hours. My mom was with me but she had to go and my husband was with me the entire time. I did something so embarrassing in the delivery room, I pooped myself which was unexpected and just…

I don’t know but it was embarrassing and although my medical team were very professional about it, my husband couldn’t help himself and started laughing about it later and even telling my family about it but they didn’t react, just didn’t find it funny and neither did I, In fact, I found it embarrassing and I already told him to stop bringing it up especially when he started joking about getting me diapers for my “opsies!!”. It got really tiring and chipped away from my self esteem and confidence.

We were with his parents celebrating new year’s eve together when I excused myself to the bathroom. While I was getting up he made a quick remark and said “oh yeah, you should go quickly because we don’t want any accidents just like the one we had at the hospital, you know what I mean?” While blinking at me. His family actually laughed and BIL commented “good one!”.

I was astonished and so angry and ashamed, I literally just lost it on him and yelled at the top of my lungs calling him a cruel insensitive jerk for using the difficult experience of birthing his child as a joking matter and humiliating me in front of everybody. He was shocked, staring back at me and not saying a word. All went silent and I just stormed off to the bathroom til we left and that was when he snapped saying I messed up by talking to him like that in front of his family during dinner, I said I couldn’t hold my tongue for that long and after he kept joking about an embarrassing thing when I told him to stop.

He said he was just joking and I went overboard with my reaction and also, I should’ve sucked it up and waited til we got home so we could address this privately and I could even yell at him as long as I wanted. We argued about it after we got home and he kept saying I humiliated him in front of his family during the celebratory evening by being petty and trying to one up him… He even said I should’ve laughed along and not fly off the handle like that.

The argument didn’t end there, as she explained: “We argued about it after we got home and he kept saying I humiliated him in front of his family during the celebratory evening by being petty and trying to one up him…
“He even said I should’ve laughed along and not fly off the handle like that.”
The woman ended the post asking people if she overreacted, but the vast majority were firmly on her side of the argument.

One person wrote: “NTA (not the asshole). What a cruel and immature joke to make, ask him to push a watermelon out his dick and see if he can do it without any ‘embarrassing accidents’.”
Another agreed, commenting: “NTA what the hell? So he can humiliate you by ‘joking’ in front of his entire family about a deeply private, personal and traumatic experience that you have ALREADY ASKED HIM to stop making remarks about, but if you call him out on it in front of those same people, somehow you’re at fault.”
Some also pointed to the fact that it’s common for women to have similar accidents during childbirth and it is completely normal.

One person replied: “Nope, NTA. Your husband is an immature, insensitive jerk. Pooping yourself during birth is quite normal, but to make fun of you about it is not cool.”
Someone else agreed, writing: “NTA. Pooping during labour is natural and expected by the doctors/midwives, that’s why they don’t bat an eyelid when it happens.

“Your husband is definitely TA (the asshole) and needs to grow the hell up and understand that you and your body have been through a traumatic experience.
“He should be supporting you, not bringing you down. You need to tell him that he’s acting like an immature child who is fascinated by poop!”

‘I hope you’re happy’: Scorned lover takes down cheating ex

By

Alexander Bored

-

Revenge is a dish best served cold … or in a newspaper’s ad page, using your cheating ex’s credit card.

In some bonafide locals-only drama, a woman named Jenny has absolutely rinsed a man called Steve in the form of a full-page newspaper ad. And this, my friends, is why print will never die.

Readers of Mackay and Whitsunday Life in Queensland’s east got a shock when they picked up their Friday edition and saw a full-page ad from a scorned lover called Jenny.

“Dear Steve, I hope you’re happy with her,” the open letter read.

Now the whole town will know what a filthy cheater you are. From Jenny.

“P.S. I bought this ad using your credit card.”

Mackay and Whitsunday Life have been inundated with “dozens” of messages since the shocking letter went to print on page four.

“We do not know who Steve is, but apparently he’s been very very bad,” the newspaper said.

“We won’t be revealing any details about Jenny.”

But unfortunately the final piece of Jenny’s revenge seems to have not been pulled off.

“We have not charged the credit card in question,” Mackay and Whitsunday Life said.

But Jenny’s actions were met with praise from her legion of new-found fans.

“Jenny sounds like someone I want to be friends with,” one person said.

“Not all heroine‘s wear capes. Jenny is my new favourite person,” said another.

“Couldn’t love this more if I tried LOL… Good on you Jenny,” proclaimed another amused commenter.

The public were not as kind to Steve however.

“Never trust a Steve,” one said.

“I would have charged the card,” another person brutally said.

“Everyone who knows a Steve and Jenny have suddenly sat up and taken notice,” someone joked.

All the beefing celebrity couples of the world have nothing on Jenny and Steve. Sorry Kim Kardashian and Pete Davidson, you’ve absolutely been bested here.

Will we get a follow-up ad from Steve I wonder? Only time will tell. But consider this your reminder to support local news and of course, local drama.

Mom gives up child in wheelchair for adoption, 18 years later sees her walking out of luxe car

By

Monica Pop

-

Sarah Karmel was an ambitious young and beautiful lady who always dreamed big. She wanted to make it to Hollywood, but this wanna be actress soon started hanging with influential people and ended up pregnant.

When she realized she was carrying a child and that her dreams could be crushed, she felt devastated. Her only thought was to get rid of the child, but at that stage of the pregnancy, that was impossible.

All Sarah was interested in was to get back to the parties and the fun life she led before and do all in her power to become famous. She, however, ended up working as a waitress at a downtown 24-hour diner.

She was determined to put the baby up for adoption the moment she was born, but it was then that her mother learned of Sarah’s condition and made her change her mind.

The thing was that Sarah’s mother loved the thought of being a grandma and offered to cover all the expenses about the child and even pay rent and hire a nanny. “I will pay the rent,” Sarah’s mom said. “And I’ll give you an allowance, so you can look after the baby… Please, Sarah, don’t give the little one away! It’s your baby.”

Sarah agreed to keep the baby. She was getting money from her mom and could afford the life she always dreamed of while her mom took care of her baby daughter Mia.

Unfortunately, around the time Mia turned four, Sarah’s mom passed away. She left Sarah plenty of money, but she was careless and spent it very quickly. What she could live out of for years got wasted in a matter of months.

One day, as Mia was playing with her friends at the park, she fell off a climbing frame and injured her spine. When she regained her consciousness, she was at the hospital, unable to move her legs.

Doctors had devastating news. Without surgeries and intensive rehab, Mia wouldn’t be able to walk ever again. Of course, those surgeries and treatments cost plenty of money, and Sarah wasn’t willing to pay for anything. Instead, she simply disappeared and was nowhere to be found when she learned how much Mia’s surgeries would cost. She provided the hospital with a fake address and contact number. A few days later, the hospital received a notarized declaration which said that she’s declining any responsibility for Mia and that she was giving her up for adoption.

It was pediatrician Anna Joubert who broke the news to Mia. The child was devastated, to say the least. “My mom’s not coming back?” she asked in a state of shock. “Is it because I’m broken? Please tell her I’ll get well! I will!”

These words touched Dr. Joubert to the core. It was then that she decided to treat Mia as her own and cover all costs regarding her healing. Eventually, she and her husband adopted Mia and helped her walk again.

Years later, when Mia turned 18, she and her adoptive parents were headed to a nice restaurant to celebrate Mia’s graduation from law school with highest honors.

Mia turned into a gorgeous young lady, with long legs and blonde hair. She truly resembled a princess.

As she and her mom and dad stepped out of the limo, they spotted a homeless woman begging for money in front of the place. When the woman saw Mia, who was wearing designer clothes and expensive jewelry, she thought she was an easy target.

When Mia’s mom took the wallet out to hand the woman some money, Mia took her hand and told her not to do it. She recognized the woman, it was Sarah, her birth mother.

“You?” she asked. “Mom, is that you?” to what Sarah replied, “No, honey, I’m not your mom. Nice, pretty girl like you? Only had one kid, and she was a useless cripple!”

“That would be me,” Mia said calmly. “I’m the useless cripple. Or I was. As you can see, I’ve recovered, thanks to my parents.”

“Please,” Sarah said, clutching at Mia’s arm. “Please help me out! You can afford it. With those fancy clothes and jewelry? You struck it lucky with those two — and you can thank me for it!”

“Thank you?” asked Mia. “Yes, I can thank you for all the nights I cried, wondering why I didn’t deserve your love, believing I deserved to be abandoned. Here, mother, here are my thanks.”

Mia then took out a $20 bill and put it in Sarah’s hand. She then entered the place with the two people who gave her a new lease on life and meant the world to her, her adoptive parents.

Jennifer Aniston’s mom left the actress nothing when she died, source claims

By

Monica Pop

-

Friends, one of the best and most iconic sitcoms ever made, helped turn the cast into worldwide stars. The series, which ran for 10 years, follows the life of six friends from New York. They are all quite different in character but function perfectly as a group. Each of the characters is very relatable and much loved by the wide audience.

The series finale aired on May 6, 2004, and was watched by around 52.5 million American viewers, making it the fifth-most-watched series finale in the history of television.

Jennifer Aniston, who played the role of Rachel Greene, rose to fame with this role. Adored by millions, Rachel’s fashion style triggered a whole new trend, including the famous long bob hairstyle.

Born to parents who were actors themselves, it wasn’t surprising Aniston chose the same career. Her mother, Nancy Dow, was a prominent actress, and her father, John Aniston, has been a huge star on soap operas. He played on the NBC daytime drama series Days of Our Lives for which he earned a Daytime Emmy Award nomination for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Drama Series in 2017.

While she was still pretty young, Aniston’s father abandoned the family. Although she was mad at him at times, the actress said she didn’t hold grudges towards him.

“There are people in my life that are like, ‘How do you even talk to that guy?’ But what’s the point of holding on to [anger]? That’s so toxic,” she told the Hollywood Reporter in 2015. “We’re human beings. Human beings make mistakes. Human beings are not perfect. And by not forgiving someone, it’s not allowing human beings to evolve and become better people.”

Aniston and her brother John stayed with their mother, but Aniston’s relationship with her was always a struggling one. They hadn’t spoken in many years, but Aniston still paid all her mother’s medical expenses during the final years of her life. Nancy Dow died at the age of 79 due to several health issues in 2016.

“It is with great sadness that my brother John and I announce the passing of our Mother Nancy Dow,” Aniston and her brother John announced in a statement. “She was 79 years old and passed peacefully surrounded by family and friends after enduring a long illness. We ask that our family’s privacy be respected as we grieve our loss.”

Warner Brothers Television/Fotos International/Courtesy of Getty Images

According to In Touch Weekly, Aniston didn’t inherit anything from her mother after her passing. Instead, Dow left her money to one of her relatives, along with a collection of her personal writings about her famous actress daughter. “Nancy wrote down everything about Jen, and that material is now in the hands of someone who could profit from it,” a source claimed. “She was a penny-pincher, and the alimony she received from Jen’s dad, John [Aniston], was pretty much never touched.”

Aniston didn’t make any comments regarding these claims. She, however, spoke of the relationship between her and her mother in the past.

Asked by Sandra Bullock for Interview Magazine how she’s always positive, Aniston said: “I think that it comes from growing up in a household that was destabilized and felt unsafe, watching adults being unkind to each other, and witnessing certain things about human behavior that made me think: “’I don’t want to do that, I don’t want to be that.’”

At the time she embarked on her Friends adventure, the relationship between Aniston and her mother became even more complicated. It all culminated when Dow published her memoir From Mother and Daughter to Friends: A Memoir.

Apparently, according to Dow, Aniston didn’t live up to her expectations, which left the Horrible Bosses star with “deep wounds.”

“She was from this world of, ‘Honey, take better care of yourself,’ or ‘Honey put your face on,’ or all of those odd sound bites that I can remember from my childhood,” Aniston told Elle Magazine.

She would say things like, “You have a big nose,” and whenever Aniston tried to respond to the criticism she was silenced so she somehow learned to live with the mean comments.

“My mom said those things because she really loved me. It wasn’t her trying to be a b***h or knowing she would be making some deep wounds that I would then spend a lot of money to undo. She did it because that was what she grew up with.”

At least they managed to smooth things down before Dow’s passing.

Scientists discover something disturbing in human blood

By

Monica Pop

-

After thorough research, scientists are overwhelmed to discover particles in the human blood and we humans are the ones to be blamed for this highly disturbing discovery.

It was determined that the tiny particles, which were traced in the blood of around 80% of the people who took part in the study, come from the air, as well as all from the summit of Mount Everest to the deepest oceans.

That humans, as well as animals, consume tiny particles of plastic through food and water is not something new having in mind the fact that the planet we live in is highly polluted and full of waste. These particles have previously been discovered in humans’ and babies’ faeces.

The results of the research show that in half of the blood samples taken from 22 healthy individuals, 17 of which were positive to presence of plastic, there were parts of PET plastic which is prevalent in drink bottles. 1/3 of them contained polystyrene, used for packaging food and products, and a quarter of the blood samples contained polyethylene, the most commonly produced plastic.

Professor Dick Vethaak, an ecotoxicologist at Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam in the Netherlands, gave an insight into the result of the research and explained, “Our study is the first indication that we have polymer particles in our blood – it’s a breakthrough result. But we have to extend the research and increase the sample sizes, the number of polymers assessed, etc.”

However, this is just a start, as further research needs to be conducted.

“It is certainly reasonable to be concerned,” Vethaak said in an interview with the Guardian. “The particles are there and are transported throughout the body.”

“We also know in general that babies and young children are more vulnerable to chemical and particle exposure,” he added. “That worries me a lot.”

The number of plastic particles in the blood samples of the participants varied. Since this is a pioneering study, we are yet to learn more and investigate what exactly this means for humans in the long run.

“The big question is what is happening in our body?” Vethaak said. “Are the particles retained in the body? Are they transported to certain organs, such as getting past the blood-brain barrier?” And are these levels sufficiently high to trigger disease? We urgently need to fund further research so we can find out.”

Further, in a review paper, professor Vethaak wrote about the risk of cancer. “More detailed research on how micro- and nano-plastics affect the structures and processes of the human body, and whether and how they can transform cells and induce carcinogenesis, is urgently needed, particularly in light of the exponential increase in plastic production. The problem is becoming more urgent with each day.”

This is really huge and should serve as a wake-up call for humanity to undertake immediate action regarding air pollution and proper waste disposal. Planet Earth is suffocating on our watch and that needs to change as soon as possible!

Olivia Newton-John’s daughter shares heartbreaking post following her mom’s passing as old interview reveals what she thought of the afterlife

By

Monica Pop

-

Besides being a huge, huge star and someone millions of fans throughout the world admired for her happy spirit, her dazzling smile, and the positive energy she radiated whenever she went, late singer and actress Olivia Newton-John was before everything else a mother.

Her daughter Chloe Lattanzi, who has inherited her mother’s beauty and music talent, and who is following into her footsteps, posted an incredibly touching video of the two performing the song Window in the Wall together. The song is a tribute of the love they felt for one another, and now it was shared on Instagram as a tribute to Newton-John, whom Chloe describes as the mother everyone wishes for.

“Has this world forgotten how to love,” the lyrics read. “Are we blinded by the hate we leave inside? No one is giving in or giving up. The lines are drawn and there is no compromise. This isn’t who we are…”

In the Instagram caption, Chloe wrote, “You are my lighthouse mama. My safe place. My heart space. It has been my honor and continues to be my honor to be your baby and best friend. You are an angel on earth and everyone touched by you has been blessed. I love you forever my life-giver, my teacher, my mama.”

In the past, newton-John spoke of her relationship with Chloe and said the two were very close and that bond became even stronger during the pandemic when they spent most of their time together.

“I worked my whole life, and the longest period I can remember being home was my pregnancy with Chloe and the first year or two of her life. So it’s been wonderful reconnecting with my baby. She is my reason to be.”

Newton-John was diagnosed with cancer three times during her life and she battled the disease for many, many years. In an interview with A Life of Greatness podcast, Newton-John spoke of her diagnosis and how she contemplated her death.

“I have quite a few times,” she said, adding that it was “sooner than I would have wanted. I mean — we all know we are going to die. I think we spend our lives probably much in denial of it.”

“What I feel about it is extremely personal, so I find it hard to put into words. I believe that we are all part of one thing,” Newton-John continued.

“I’ve had experiences with — how can I put it? — spirits or spirit life or felt the spirit world or have heard things that I believe there is something that happens. It’s almost like we are parts of a big computer and we go back to the main battery. I don’t have a definite definition of what it is. Some people call it ‘heaven.’ Some call it ‘the universe.’ I just think there is a great knowingness out there that we become part of.”

In that same interview, she shared her thoughts about afterlife saying that all versions of what people believe afterlife to be “seem to have the same ending. Either we come back as something else or we go to heaven or we join others in the spirit world. But most humans want to believe that we go on.”

“I don’t know if that is so,” she continued. ”I hope that I can let people know when it happens if it is.”

Rest in Peace, Olivia Newton-John.

Boy got accompanied by 24 police officers on his first day of school

By

Losing a parent can be devastating for a child, especially when they are still very young and unable to understand why their mom or dad is no longer around. But you know what they say, it takes a village to raise a child, and the colleagues of a police officer named Justin Scherlan, who lost his life due to complications of an old injury he sustained while on duty, prove this to be right.

As the fellow officer left this world way too soon and his four kids were left without a father, over two dozen officers from the Amarillo Police Department in Texas decided to step in for the children and escorted to school so that they knew they were not alone.

Neither the kids, nor their mom Jessica was aware of the big surprise.

The most special of all was the surprise for little Jackson, who started first grade. It was his first ever day to school and it meant the world to him that he wasn’t alone on his special day.

Officer Jeb Hilton shared with TODAY that “everyone was having a terrible time regulating their emotions that day.”

He added that “it was simply one of those moments that truly grabs your heart, plus the fact that the family was startled to see everybody there.”

As he arrived at school, sweet Jackson took his time to thank each of the officers separately by giving them a hug as they stood in a line at the school’s corridor.

Officer Hilton said,“It was Jackson’s very first day of school ever, so we really wanted to be there for him and support him.”

This was a clear message that these officers will always be there for the Scherlan family.

“We spend a lot of time with each other on the job and go through a lot of difficult situations. We consider ourselves family, and we absolutely wanted to step in there and show their family that they will be taken care of,” officer Hilton said.

Isn’t this one of the most touching gestures you’ve ever witnessed?

Olivia Newton-John’s final photo is a burst of pure joy and a reminder of her happy spirit

Olivia Newton-John will always be remembered as someone who radiated joy with her presence. Her gorgeous smile triggered millions more, and her stunning beauty, along with her immense music and acting talent, turned her into an icon of the ’70s and the ’80s.

Her family announced her passing on Monday, August 8, via a statement her husband posted on the social media. The singer and actress battled cancer a great part of her life. She passed away from breast cancer surrounded by her family and friends.

Among the rest, Newton-John would always be remembered by the iconic role of transfer student Sandy who fell for the greaser Danny Zuko. Grease helped Newton-John raise to stardom and become an American sweetheart. The musical itself turned into a true classic and was the highest-grossing film of the year, becoming the highest-grossing movie musical of all time, a record it held for decades.

”I don’t think anyone could have imagined a movie would go on almost 40 years and would still be popular and people would still be talking to me about it all the time and loving it,” Newton-John told CNN in 2017. “It’s just one of those movies. I’m very lucky to have been a part of it. It’s given so many people pleasure.”

As a singer, she won four Grammy Awards and got a star of the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

“I’m so lucky that I’ve been through this three times and I’m still here. I’m living with it. It’s just reinforced my gratitude,” she told 60 Minutes Australia when speaking of her breast cancer diagnosis.

“We know we’re gonna die at some point, and we don’t know when it is. When you’re given a cancer diagnosis or a scary honest diagnosis, you’re suddenly given a possibility of a time limit,” she explained. “So every day is a gift.”

Ever since she was diagnosed for the third time, Newton-John stepped out of the limelight and didn’t share many photos of her, except for throwback pictures of her younger days.

In 2018, she and Travolta put on their costumes from the time they filmed Grease and walked the red carpet and danced the moves for the 40th screening anniversary of their smash-hit.

“First time in costume since we made the movie,” Newton-John captioned a photo on her Instagram and added: “So excited!!”

Travolta, who has been her friend until the very and said of his co-star, “Olivia is a survivor and she’s smart and she’s got a lot of life in her and I think she looks at it from the glass half full always and that’s her beautiful, natural approach towards life and I think we all need to do that.”

When she passed away, he shared a heartfelt tribute on the social media. Along with a photo of the two, the actor wrote, “My dearest Olivia, you made all of our lives so much better. Your impact was incredible. I love you so much. We will see you down the road and we will all be together again. Yours from the first moment I saw you and forever!” He signed the post, “Your Danny, your John!”

Newton-John was married to husband John Easterling, an American businessman and environmentalist. The two tied the knot in 2008.

“I’m very lucky I have a wonderful, beautiful husband who is just so loving and fantastic,” she told People in 2016.

”I always tell my friends you’re never too old to find love. I found the love of my life at 59 going on 60! I’m grateful.”

On April 18, 2022, to the delight of her many fans, the actress posted her most recent photo on Instagram, smiling and full of joy.

Her passing comes right before the release of a series that was supposed to be a prequel to Grease called ‘Rise of the Pink Ladies.’

Parents kiss 1-year-old daughter goodbye and switch off life support, but then they hear her voice

By

The story of an 18-month-old girl who beat the odds and survived despite everyone thought she was living her final moments is nothing short of a miraculous one.

When parents Lee and Francesca Moore-Williams noticed that their baby daughter was loosing clumps of her hair, they got worried for her health but doctors told them she probably had asthma. However, things turned for the worse during a family holiday in Spain when little Bella started loosing energy and was slipping in an out of consciousnesses. The family returned back home and Bella was admitted to hospital.

Her condition didn’t look promising. All of a sudden, she couldn’t breath on her own and was put on a ventilator. The MRI scans revealed severe abnormalities across both hemispheres of her brain.

As the parents were told there was nothing that could be done to save Bella’s life, they made the heartbreaking decision to turn the ventilator off. Before that, they said the final goodbye to their little angel and brought in members of the family to see Bella for one final time. They even took a photo of them, their five-year-old son, and Bella to have it as a memory of their little bundle of joy.

As they turned off the ventilator, they stayed by Bella’s side, and that is when the girl started breathing on her own. To everyone’s surprise, her oxygen levels rose to 100%.

Later, Bella was diagnosed with Biotinidase deficiency — a genetic disorder that affects just one in every 60,000 births. The deficiency can be fatal if left untreated but will now be managed safely with tablets.

Five months after she was admitted to hospital and her parents believed they lost her forever, Bella was discharged and sent home. She started walking and is thriving. Doctors say she is around eight months behind other children her age but she will definitely catch up as she is a bright young lady.

“I now feel a lot of guilt for bringing family members there to say goodbye but I didn’t know that at the time,” Francesca said.

“I will never, ever forget that moment where I had to say goodbye to my daughter.”

Bella showed she is a fighter. It is truly incredible that she recovered.

One thing was certain, her belly was pretty unique and unlike any other belly most people have ever seen.

Midway through the song, Lucy turns to the camera and says that’s what happens to people who can’t fall asleep in Louisiana.

One couple, Tracy and Scott Whyatt set the goal of helping these dogs and finding them forever homes instead of letting their lives to be ended.

Take a look at the video below. It’s cute beyond words, don’t you think so?

Namely, Cara has troubles getting up in the morning and as a result she is late for school.

Of course, everyone knows that bald eagles should be avoided because they can be very dangerous, especially when they feel their little ones are threatened by humans.

As a singer, she won four Grammy Awards and got a star of the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
