The search for 4-year-old Cleo Smith who vanished from a campsite in rural Western Australia is still ongoing.

The family said that when they woke up on Saturday morning, at around 6am, the girl wasn’t there. She was wearing a one piece pajama suit and they last saw her at about 1.30am on Saturday near the Blowholes Campground at Macleod, some 50km north of Carnarvon where the family was staying. According to the police, she woke up at that time to ask for a glass of water and then fell asleep again.

WA Police senior inspector Jon Munday said they are all hoping the little girl is still alive.

“We are throwing all stops at this,” he said. “We hold grave concerns for Cleo. Every hour and every day that goes on we get more and more concerned.

“We have the best investigators from state crime with forensic working as hard as they can to cover all bases.”

The search, which started on Saturday, was resumed on Tuesday afternoon after a three-hour stop because of the bad weather.

Land, air and sea crews led the search up and down the coastline and around the campgrounds where the family had been camping. The entire area has been covered in posters as locals and other campers also joined in the extensive search for the little girl. SES and helicopter crews have been deployed as well.

Thousands of people are sharing Cleo’s mother, Ellie Smith’s, Facebook pleas in an attempt to help with the search.

Speaking to news.com.au, Inspector Munday said “It’s a very, very harsh environment. Until today it has been quiet warm, and there’s limited freshwater around. If she is out in the area, we do have grave concerns for her.”

At the time, the police and everyone involved are considering two scenarios, Cleo either wandering off, or being taken by someone.

Munday added that their concerns are getting more and more grave.

According to the family, who spoke publicly for the first time on Tuesday morning, Cleo’s sleeping bag was also missing at the time they realized the girl had vanished.

We are all praying for a positive outcome.

Richard Gere’s wife Alejandra shares details on their private life

Richard Gere isn’t only an awesome actor who landed a number of iconic roles throughout his career, but he’s also a heartthrob loved and adored by millions.

Speaking of his childhood, Gere describes it as “normal and all-American.” During his young years, he was both into music and gymnastics, and says there’s still a photo of him with a side horse in his high-school and he even took his son there once to see it.

Being in love with music, Gere even wrote some songs himself, and soon, he found himself getting a lead role in the rock musical Soon in New York.

Shortly after that, he decided to try his luck in London where he played the role of Danny Zuko in the musical Grease. However, as the production was later set up in New York, Gere returned to the States. In the early 1970s, Gere found his place in Broadway and then did what many other actors have done, he turned to the big screen.

Throughout his rich career, Gere was part of some of the most awe-inspiring movies, including American Gigolo, which established him as a leading man and a sex symbol, An Officer and a Gentleman, and one of the greatest romcoms, Pretty Woman.

Speaking of Pretty Woman, Gere revealed that he was hesitating whether to accept the role, but it was Julia Roberts who convinced him to stare opposite her.

“To be honest, I didn’t know if I was doing this movie yet. She’s across the desk, we’re getting to know each other, we’re flirty-flirty, nice-nice,” Gere told Smooth Radio in 2015.

“And [Marshall] calls up and it’s kind of like, ‘How’s it going?’ And I’m going, ‘Yeah, yeah,’ and she takes a piece of paper. She turns it around, and she pushes it to me. It said, ‘Please say yes.’ It was so sweet. And I was like [miming talking on the phone], ‘I just said yes.’”

Richard Gere has been married three times. His first marriage, with Cindy Crawford, lasted for four years. In 2002, he married Carey Lowell, with whom he has son Homer James Jigme Gere, who is now 21 and resembles his famous father a lot.

In 2018, Gere tied the knot for the third time, this time with Alejandra Silva who is 33 years his junior. So how did the two meet?

According to people close to the couple, they first met when they were quite young as their parents were friends. But it took a lot of years for them to be re-introduced to each other again by a mutual friend.

The moment they reconnected was when they felt there was chemistry between them.

Silva grew up in Spain and is working as a human rights activist. She’s also the founder of the non-profit initiative Beautiful Life Fund.

Speaking of her relationship with Gere, Silva told Hola! back in 2015: “Our karma was attracted the moment we saw each other. I’m not ignoring our age difference and what it means to be with a Hollywood star, but when there’s such a strong karmic energy, the problems disappear.

“Love stories with a complicated beginning, where you have to overcome difficulties together, can bring you closer,” she explained. “I’m sure I did [have some doubt] at some point. In the beginning, he was more convinced than me. But from very early on, we felt that we were destined to be together.”

The two have two children together. Silva gave birth to their first son in 2019 and a year later they welcomed their second baby boy. She said that she’s living a fairytale and loves her man, because as she says, what could be more beautiful and more romantic than a man who writes you songs every day.

Before moving to New York, Silva converted to Buddhism and says that decision changed her life forever.

“In this life it had to be like this. He has promised me at least 20 good years,” she said on their age difference. “I have to confess that he has much more energy than me; he’s much more active. I find it hard to keep up with him. He’s not human! Everyone who sees you together says Richard’s crazy about you.

“He knows I love him madly, ” she added. “I think I bring him stability. Above all, it helped I wasn’t an actress or a model. I never had any interest in that. What has united us the most is our desire to help other people who need it, our commitment to Buddhism and the Tibetan people. And he was able to see my unconditional commitment as a humanitarian, as a person, as a woman… It’s the sweetest, most romantic dream I’ve ever had. That’s why I’ve decided to stay in it!”

Gabby Petito died by strangulation, coroner confirms

By

Monica Pop

-

Gabby Petito’s case attracted the attention of the entire country when she failed to return home after her trip with her fiancé, Brian Laundrie. In fact, he returned to his parents’ home in Florida in September all by himself and refused to tell where Gabby was.

Her parents filed a missing person report and were hoping for a positive outcome. Unfortunately, Gabby’s body was found shortly after in Grand Teton National Park in Wyoming.

Brian Laundrie became the sole person of interest in the homicide case but he fled his parents’ home and has been on the run ever since.

After the videos of Gabby taken by two police officers were shared online, all eyes were on the case.

As the police is doing all in their power to get to Laundrie, others are also involved in his tracking. Dog the Bounty Hunter is one of those who is helping in the process. He’s sharing updates of his personal investigation on his social media sites.

“Just got an update from Dog the Bounty Hunter’s team. They say he’s headed back to Colorado soon to meet with his doctor after injuring his ankle in the search,” reporter Josh Benson shared on Twitter.

“He (Chapman) says he will continue to process leads in Colorado while he’s there.”

As Laundrie remains the only person of interest, so far, he’s only been charged with using Gabby’s credit card without authorization.

The family of Gabby was waiting for the coroner’s report in order to learn how their daughter died. Finally, on Tuesday afternoon, during a news conference, Teton County Coroner Dr. Brent Blue revealed that 22-year-old Gabby Petito died by strangulation. He also added that the process took some time because he wanted everything to be right having in mind that Gabby’s body was in the wilderness for around three weeks before it was found.

Laundrie family lawyer, Steven Bertolino, issued a statement to remind people that Brian has only been “currently charged with the unauthorized use of a debit card belonging to Gabby” and added that his client is “only considered a person of interest in relation to Gabby Petito’s demise.” He described Gabby’s death as a “tragedy.”

Referring to his statement, Gabby’s mother, Nicole Schmidt, told ABC 7 News: “His words are garbage. Keep talking.”

Laundrie family attorney statement: “Gabby Petito’s death at such a young age is a tragedy. While Brian Laundrie is currently charged with the unauthorized use of a debit card belonging to Gabby, Brian is only considered a person of interest in relation to Gabby Petito’s demise.” https://t.co/BZhQKyq3xS

Paul McCartney opens up about life after his wife’s passing: “I cried for a year when Linda died”

By

Monica Pop

John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo Starr changed the world of music forever. Their band, The Beatles, is the most popular and certainly most influential band in popular music history. People from every corner of Earth were so in love and so obsessed with these four Englishmen that a phenomenon called “Beatlemania” was shaking the world back in the day.

Their popularity was causing mass hysteria and fans, especially girls, were going crazy over their idols.

One would say these four legends could have as many girls as they wanted, but still, Paul McCartney fell in love with wife Linda who stole his heart the moment he laid eyes on her and they stayed together until the very end. Linda was diagnosed with breast cancer and passed away on April 17, 1998, aged 56. Today, 22 years after her death, Paul is still mourning her loss and does his best to keep the memory of the love of his life alive.

Paul and Linda, who was a professional photographer, first met at the legendary Shea Stadium in New York, after a concert with The Beatles. Linda was there to take photos of the boys and met her idol John Lennon. “It was John who interested me at the start. He was my Beatle hero. But when I met him the fascination faded fast, and I found it was Paul I liked,” Linda is reported to have said, according to the book The Paul McCartney Encyclopedia.

The second meeting between the two took place around a year later, in a crowded bar. Linda had a date with another guy that night but seeing Paul made her change her plans.

“The night Linda and I met, I spotted her across a crowded club, and although I would normally have been nervous chatting her up, I realized I had to … Pushiness worked for me that night!,” Paul McCartney said. ”I was quite shameless really. I was with somebody else [that night] … and I saw Paul at the other side of the room. He looked so beautiful that I made up my mind I would have to pick him up,” Linda said of that serendipitous night.

Three years after this meeting, the pair tied the knot in an intimate ceremony with fans waiting for the newlyweds in front of the Marylebone Register Office in London.

None of the members of The Beatles was present at the wedding. ”I really don’t remember whether or not I invited any of the band to the wedding. Why not? I’m a total bastard, I suppose – I don’t know, really. Maybe it was because the group was breaking up. We were all pissed off with each other,” Paul explained in the book “Many Years From Now”, written by Barry Miles.

Before marrying Paul, Linda was a successful photographer. A photo of Eric Clapton that she took appeared on the cover of Rolling Stone magazine in 1968. Later, she focused on taking photos of the people from her surrounding.

After the break up of The Beatles, Paul and Linda started a band together, Wings, and were active for 10 years, and although they had concerts and hits that topped the charts, fans would say they weren’t really a real band as Linda didn’t actually played. “I taught Linda the basics of the keyboard … She took a couple of lessons and learned some bluesy things … she did very well and made it look easier than it was … The critics would say, ‘She’s not really playing’ or ‘Look at her—she’s playing with one finger.’ But what they didn’t know is that sometimes she was playing a thing called a Minimoog, which could only be played with one finger. It was monophonic,” Paul said.

The two were very happy together and raised four children, one from Linda’s previous marriage, but everything changed after she was diagnosed with breast cancer that quickly spread to her liver. Until the very end, Linda was active and did many things together with the man she loved so much. The couple was on vacation and rode horses together just days before she said the final goodbye.

Paul was crushed. He lost two important women in his life, his mother and his wife, from the same illness.

His mom died of breast cancer when he was just 14 years old and he remembers his dad hiding and crying. “We had no idea what my mum had died of because no-one talked about it. She just died. The worse thing about that was everyone was very stoic, everyone kept a stiff upper lip and then one evening you’d hear my dad crying in the next room,” Paul told BBC in 2019.

When Linda died, Paul confessed that he cried for a year, and even now, he can’t get over the fact that she’s no longer by his side. “You expect to see them walk in, this person you love, because you are so used to them. I cried a lot. It was almost embarrassing except it seemed the only thing to do,” he said.

We are very saddened by the loss of such an incredible woman like Linda.

Loretta Lynn shares the devastating news of her ranch foreman’s passing in the floods last week

By

Few female country singers impacted the music industry as profoundly as Loretta Lynn.

This incredible woman experienced a lot throughout her life, including personal tragedies which filled her heart with grief. She lost two of her children, son Jack and daughter Betty Sue Lynn, and her husband of many years, Oliver “Doo” Lynn. Now, she shared on Facebook that her ranch foreman, Wayne Spears, died in the Tennessee floods.

Loretta met and married Oliver when she was just 15 years old. He was 21 at the time. They lived in a ranch and she was quite busy taking care of her home and her many children. During the younger years of her life, Loretta was a typical housewife, but then her love for music changed it all.

When she first started singing, she thought to herself: “Gee whiz, this is an easy job.”

Her first song, which was her ticket to the world of music was the piece I’m a Honky Tonk Girl. She wrote the song in 20 minutes on a $17 guitar her husband had bought her as an anniversary present.

“I just sat down with my guitar,” she told NPR Music. “I was outside and leaning up against the toilet in Washington State. And I sat there and wrote ‘Honky Tonk Girl’ and ‘Whispering Sea.’”

The song led to a contract with Decca Records after which she appeared on the Grand Ole Opry.

Songs which started topping the charts started coming out one by one, and soon after, the name Loretta Lynn became very-well known around the country. Her music was controversial at times, but that didn’t force the young singer to “shut down” her outspoken mind. Some of the songs which caused a stir at the time were Dear Uncle Sam, told from the perspective of a wife whose spouse is entering the Vietnam War and one of the first country songs which spoke of the war, and The Pill, which tackled the controversial topic of birth control.

Loretta’s autobiography, Coal Miner’s Daughter, which lent the name from one of her most popular songs, became a New York Times Best Seller. It was later adapted into a film which received numerous awards and several Academy Awards nominations. Sissy Spacek, who played the role of Loretta, received an Oscar for her brilliant performance.

In 1988, Lynn was inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame.

Among the rest, Loretta revealed in her autobiography that her marriage was troublesome at times because Oliver was an alcoholic, but the two always stayed strong together. “I miss him so much. He kind of kept things going, like me recording. He’d always tell me how good I was, and that always helped a lot,” she told NPR Music. “He would say, ‘You know, we need to get a new record out,’ or whatever. He always kept me moving. And if it hadn’t been for him, I wouldn’t have been singing, period. Because he thought I could sing and he put me to work.”

Despite being 89 years old, Loretta is still very active. Her career spans six decades. In 2010, she was honored with a Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award, and in 2013 she received the Presidential Medal of Freedom from Barack Obama himself.

A few days ago, she posted a touching tribute to her ranch foreman who sadly lost his life after he was swept away by the flood in Tennessee.

“There are no words at the ranch today…only tears. Our ranch family is our family. We lost my amazing ranch foreman, Wayne in this devastating flood.

“He took such good care of things here on the ranch for us. He’s one of us and the whole Lynn family Is heartbroken. Please pray for his precious family and friends.”

She continued: “With the heaviest of hearts we are saddened to report that our beloved foreman Wayne Spears did not survive being swept up in the flood waters.

“Wayne has been a family friend to the Lynns and a fixture to the Ranch for decades and we are all devastated by his passing.”

We are very sorry for her loss. Our hearts go out to Loretta during these sad times for her and the family.

Courageous teen steps in when stranger behaves inappropriately with girl in store

By

Weird or unpleasant situations may occur everywhere and to anyone. When people encounter weirdly acting people, they usually try to avoid them and get out of the potential danger.

However, Cameron Cook, age 17, from Boston did just the opposite.
Cameron was with his mother at Target in Boston. While the mother was shopping, Cameron noticed something very strange. He saw a man approaching a little girl.

The man was touching himself and was gazing at the girl. That made Cameron think that something was indeed worrying.

Cameron says that the man had a ‘demonic look’ and knew something was very wrong.

His mother insisted they stay away, but Cameron refused that. Speaking of the incident, he told CBS:

“I seen the guy grabbing himself, and my mom goes, ‘Cam let’s go, keep walking.’ I was like, no, something’s going on.”

Cameron turned out to be a very brave young man. This is something that even his mother did not know.

She was also not aware that Cameron was about to save the girl from a terrible misfortune.

He took a closer look at the man and smelled on liquor so the young boy knew he needed to act fast.

As soon as Cameron reached the man, he asked him if he knew the girl. The man’s response was: “I’m not a pervert! I’m not a pervert!” to what Cameron replied: “I didn’t ask you that, sir.”

Cameron’s persistence paid off. He continued confronting the man. Therefore, the weird man became uncomfortable and ran out of the store.

Thanks to Cameron, the girl remained safe and sound. If it was otherwise, the girl’s fate would be totally different.

The Boston Police Department also advices the parents to keep an eye on their kids.

For Boston Herald, Cameron says that he does not want a recognition for his action. What he wants to achieve is to inspire others to be brave and confront such people.

He also added:

“Anybody should just have the courage to stand up. It’s not even about courage, it’s just being a person, a human — anyone can step up and do something like that.”

Well done Cameron. You did the right thing. Our society would be a better place to live in if we have more people like you.

For his bravery, Cameron was honored by his city council and the Boston Celtics basketball team.

Soldiers unaware passenger overhears them talking on a plane until flight attendant approaches their aisle

By

Maryane

A lot of times in our life we face the opportunity to offer someone a helping hand. It makes me really happy knowing how many people won’t even hesitate to grab the chance to make someone’s day and put a smile on someone’s face. Those people are what we need more of in order to make the world running.

Denny Kukich is a big-hearted man who did exactly that; taught us how doing a good deed can go a long way and influence others to become better individuals.

Recently, Denny was taking a flight and while he was waiting for the plane to take off he contemplated whether to read his book or take a nap during the trip. At the same time a group of soldiers entered the plane and sat in the seats surrounding Denny, so he decided to chat with some of them instead.

“Where are you headed?”

The soldier explained how they are headed to Peawawa together with the whole crew where they would be involved in a two-week military training before they take the ship off to Afghanistan for deployment. As they were engaged in the conversation, it was shortly interrupted by the flight attendant who announced that the passengers could buy sack lunch for $5. There was still one hour till the end of the trip remaining so Denny assumed everyone will buy lunch, especially the soldiers who were probably hungry and headed to work.

But, that’s when he overheard one of the soldiers saying that he won’t buy lunch.

“That seems like a lot of money for just a sack lunch. Probably wouldn’t be worth five bucks. I’ll wait till we get to base.”

Denny looked around and that’s when he realized that none of the soldiers would eat during the flight, and the reason was obviously the money. It didn’t take long for Denny to take matters into his hands. Being aware of the sacrifice these people make to serve the country and risking their lives so that the ordinary people like him could sleep peacefully at night, buying them lunch was the least he could do to repay for their service. He approached the flight attendant and gave her $50 telling her to serve the soldiers lunch.

“She grabbed my arms and squeezed tightly. Her eyes wet with tears, she thanked me. ‘My son was a soldier in Iraq; it’s almost like you are doing it for him.'”

For the nice thing he did, Denny himself was offered a first class dinner plate. He got even more surprised when a passenger handed him a $25 because he as well wanted to be part of the act of kindness.

“‘I saw what you did. I want to be part of it. Here, take this.’ He handed me $25.”

It appeared that Denny’s deed was a start of a beautiful chain of generosity. The flight captain congratulated Denny saying, “I was a soldier and I was a military pilot. Once, someone bought me a lunch. It was an act of kindness I never forgot.”

Denny had no idea that everyone witnessed what he did. But, somehow lots of the passengers were now grateful for his selfless act so he received more money from the strangers.

Once the plane landed Denny was left with a total of $75 he got because of what he did. He gave those money to the soldiers as well.

“Upon entering the terminal, I saw the soldiers gathering for their trip to the base. I walked over to them and handed them $75. ‘It will take you some time to reach the base… It will be about time for a sandwich. God Bless You.'”

Denny walked to his car satisfied knowing that he was an inspiration for other people to get involved in the amazing gesture that left 10 soldiers feeling appreciated for their sacrifice.

School calls dad about his daughter’s ‘accident’, so he arrives to pick her up with his own ‘accident’

By

Maryane

Recently, a sweet girl named Valerie Sowards had a little ‘accident’ while she was at school and she felt so embarrassed that she started crying and wanted to go home.

The school called her father Ben and informed him of what had happened. Learning his daughter felt uneasy made his heart break. So, this clever and caring daddy did something truly amazing before he went to pick Valerie up.

Well, knowing he’s a father of 11, it doesn’t really come as a surprise that he knows how little kids’ brains work. He was convinced his girl would feel much better knowing that such ‘accident’ can happen to others too, so he entered the school with his pants splashed with water on the front.

When Valerie saw her daddy’s wet pants her problem didn’t seem so large anymore so she started smiling. The two tried to cover up their ‘accidents’ the best they could.

The rest of Ben’s kids found the whole thing hilarious, so one of his oldest daughters, Lucinda, took a photo of her dad and Valerie and posted it on Twitter. People found it so sweet that it spread on the social media like a wildfire.

Everyone praised Ben for his creativity in solving the girl’s little problem. But this wasn’t the first time for him to do something like this. Lucinda recalls the time when she fell while ice-skating and ended up with a black eye. Ben empathized with her by coloring his eye black too when he FaceTimed her.

If this isn’t enough to get him the parent of the year reward then I don’t know what is.

I hope I will be as cool as this amazing father when I have kids one day. Parenting done right, don’t you think so?

Prison inmates notice guard officer collapse. They grab his gun belt and phone and had to choose

During a hot summer day, six inmates and an officer in charge were working at the Polk County Cemetery mowing the grass before Father’s Day.

At one point, the officer complained how he wasn’t feeling fine. In the next moment, he fell on the ground unconscious.

The inmates didn’t even hesitate a bit before they rushed to help him. One of them took the officer’s phone and dialed 911, while the rest stripped off his gun and his vest and did all they could to revive him while waiting for the help to arrive.

Luckily, emergency services arrived just in time to save the officer’s life. According to 11Alive, he was released from hospital the same day and was feeling fine.

The story quickly spread in the media and it somehow changed the way we feel about the people who serve prison time.

One person wrote, “I hope this eases the stereotype that not everyone in jail or prison is bad. There are some awesome people locked up. They just got caught in a bad situation at some point in their life,” and we can’t agree more.

As a sign of good behavior, the inmates’ sentences were reduced by one-fourth.

Loyal dog travels 125 miles to find owners that rejected her

By

Monica Pop

Maru, a Bullmastiff, was just a year old when her owner decided she didn’t want her any longer because she was apparently allergic to her and placed her on the Trans-Siberian train back to the kennel in Novosibirsk where she was born.

But things didn’t go as planned as Maru made a daring escape out of the train and tried getting back home.

Once out, Maru found herself in the middle of the Siberian forest which is an incredibly scary place for a dog to be alone at. Surrounded by wolves and bears, this brave and determined dog walked 125 miles. The only thing on her mind was getting back to her owner, not knowing she wasn’t welcome there any longer.

The journey was terrifying, dangerous, and hard, as Maru was also wounded and had difficulties walking.

Witnesses and the train staff later said that Maru used her paws to open the compartment door as the train made a stop at a remote station near Achinsk. They tried to catch her and get her back on the train, but Maru was quick and wouldn’t let them do it.

When Alla Morozova, the kennel owner where Maru was supposed to get, learned what happened, she organized a search for the missing animal. She knew the teams had to locate her as soon as possible as no one survives at those forests for a long time.

Thankfully, after nearly three days, Maru was spotted at an industrial estate near her former owner’s home. Exhausted, dehydrated, and starving, she was tracked down just in time.

Maru was lucky enough not to be killed by some of the fierce wild animals.

‘Luckily neither bears ate her, nor wolves chewed her up,’ Ms Morozova told The Siberian Times.

‘She was very tired. She was lame, her paws were broken.

‘The pads on her feet were damaged. Her muzzle was broken.’

The Siberian railway truck Maru followed is the longest not only in Russia, but in the world too. The poor dog was forced to cover 125 miles, or 200 km of it.

According to the train staff, Maru fled the train because she felt scared being there without her human family. Panicked and confused, she jumped off the train and no one could stop her.

‘The noise of the train scared her.’

When the train stopped she ‘jumped on the compartment door, kicked the handle to open it, and almost threw the conductor out of the way.

‘She jumped out like a bullet.

‘When the door opened to the platform, she jumped out into the night, into the taiga (swampy Siberian forest).’

Ms Morozova believes that if it wasn’t for her wounds, Maru would actually manage to get back home.

‘I’m sure that she was looking for her house,’ she said.

‘Dogs are very attached to people.

‘She did not run to Novosibirsk, she wanted to go back where she lived.’

Once at her birth place, Maru learned that even though her humans didn’t want her to be part of their family any more, there were those other humans and animals out there who enjoyed her company, such as this tiny dog pictured with her.

Ms Morozova said how Maru is now reunited with her mom and dad who are also at the kennel in Novosibirsk. She also says how she’s really mad at Maru’s owners for not showing any signs of concern for Maru and didn’t join the search even though they were aware that they were the ones who put her in danger in the first place.

Maru is currently going through recovery and is staying at the kennel until Ms Morozova and the staff decide what to do next.

Boy fails his exams, the teacher’s letter leaves his mom in disbelief

By

Many times, children with autism are not fully accepted by the society because of the opinionated people who see them as different and not fit for some wider accepted ‘standards.’ Sadly, many fail to understand that these children are individuals with their own set of abilities and preferences. Unfortunately, they are rarely treated as such.

Ben Twist is an 11 year old boy who is challenged with the disorder. Recently, he had taken an SAT test at school and failed. That’s when one of his teachers sent his parents a letter. Ben’s mother, Gail, believed it said how her boy should reassess his work and take the test once again, but as it turned out, this letter was quite different and nothing like she expected it to be.

The school Ben attends, Lansbury Bridge High School & Sports College, is a place for students with special needs, and every child in this institution is encouraged to perform the best they can. The teachers are compassionate, loving, and caring. And they proved this to be true once again.

The letter was full of words with encouragement and listed all of the special skills Ben had, highlighting that the standardized tests don’t measure all of the extra talents he possesses. It was written and signed by Mrs Clarkson.

“Dear Ben, I am writing you to congratulate you on your attitude and success in completing your end of key stage SATs. Gil, Lynn, Angela, Steph and Anne have worked so well with you this year and you have made some fabulous progress. I have written to you and your parents to tell you the results of the tests. A very important piece of information I want you to understand is that these tests only measure a little bit of you and your abilities. They are important and you have done so well, but Ben Twist is made up of many other skills and talents that we at Lansbury Bridge see and measure in other ways.”

This was definitely something Ben’s parents didn’t expect to read. The act touched them to the core.

She went on, writing:

“Other talents you have that these tests do not measure include: -Your artistic talents, your ability to work in a team, your growing independence, your kindness, your ability to express your opinion, your abilities in sports, your ability to make and keep friends, your ability to discuss and evaluate your own progress, your design and building talents, and your musical ability. We are so pleased that all of these different talents and abilities make you the special person you are and these are all of the things we measure to reassure us that you are always making progress and continuing to develop as a lovely, bright young man. Well done Ben, we are very proud of you. Best Wishes, Mrs. Clarkson”

This amazing teacher wouldn’t let Ben feel down because of the test results. In fact, she always knows how to recognize what each of her students is good at.

Teachers like Mrs. Clarkson make the difference in the way not only autistic students but all students in general feel about their abilities and what they can achieve in life. Way to go Mrs. Clarkson, you really are one-of-a-kind.

Rude woman calls tattooed man a ‘dirty biker’ so he takes to Facebook to reveal who he truly is

Ever since we were little children, our parents taught us to never judge people based on their physical appearance. Sadly, there are still those who make assumptions about others based on their looks.

Luc Perreault is a big guy with a heart of gold. He drives motorbikes, loves drinking beer, and has a lot of tattoos, and that is why some people dub him a bad guy. The truth is that Luc is a gentle giant who wants to break the stereotypes about the bikers.

Luc never judges anyone as he knows that different people face different struggles in their life. So, he makes sure he minds his own business without ever offending anyone.

But, just recently, he experienced a very unpleasant situation.

As he was sitting at Tim Horton’s having his coffee, a little girl who was at the coffee shop with her mother approached closer and said hi to him. Luc was delighted by the gesture and said hello back.

He though the little girl was raised the right way and believed her mother would be happy that her daughter is polite and kind. But he was very wrong.

The mother got really upset with the girl speaking to Luc, so she forcefully grabbed her and pulled her away. On the way out, the rude mother could be heard referring to Luc as a “dirty biker.”

At that moment, Luc felt really bad. He got offended and believed the mother was doing the wrong thing teaching the little girl to judge people like that.

He continued drinking his coffee, but that woman’s words haunted him throughout the day so he decided to take it to Facebook and write a word or two about how she made him feel.

“To the family in the red SUV at Tim Horton’s today,

Yes I am a big 280 lbs guy with motorcycles and full of tattoos. I am a welder, I am loud, I drink beer, I swear and I look like I would eat your soul if you stare at me wrong.

“What you don’t know is that I have been happily married for 11 years, my kids call me daddy, I am a college graduate… My mother is proud of me and tells everyone how lucky she is to have such a wonderful son, my nieces and nephews are always happy to see there m’noncl Luc…When my daughter broke her arm, I cried more than she did. I read books, I help people, I go out of my way to thank war veterans and I even cried at Armageddon.

So next time I smile and say hi to your little girl and you grab her and tell her, ‘No no dear, we don’t talk to dirty bikers’… Remember that even tho you hurt my feelings, this ‘dirty biker’ would be the first person to run into your burning house to save your little girls goldfish so she wouldn’t be sad! – L.P.”

Those who know how kind Luc really is shared his post. In a matter of days, his touching words had gone viral and many say how what he had to say is a lesson we should all learn.

Men save dog from icy river – then realize it’s not dog at all

A remarkable story comes from Estonia. Three brave Estonians, named Rando Kartsepp, Robin Sillamäe and Erki Väli, ended up acting as a rescue team, not to a human being, but to an innocent animal in danger. These brave men got appreciation for rescuing of what they believed was a dog trapped in an icy winter water.

The harsh North European winters can be equally risky for, both, people and animals. However, no matter what the weather conditions were, these three men were working on a dam on the Parnu River in central Estonia. Unexpectedly, while doing their daily job routines, their eyes were caught by an unusual sight. A dog stuck into the icy water of the river! Rando, Robin and Erki immediately jumped into action in order to help the creature, but they were further surprised by this rare accident.

These men’s dedication on saving the animal’s life paid off. They successfully managed to pull the animal out of the freezing water. The winter did its thing and the animal was already starting to stiffen. This alerted the men and they took the animal to the local vet’s.

The unusual situation even further shocked these workers. They did not rescue a dog, but a young wild wolf! The doctor explained the men that the animal they rescued was not a dog as they previously thought, but a wolf, which they look alike, of course. That confusion is quite common since these animals are nearly identical.

Nevertheless, the vet’s team warmed the wolf’s body, they normalized its health conditions and it was being prepared to be released in the wild. In addition, they put a GPS collar on the wolf’s neck so they can track its movements.

Rando, Robin and Erki were quite happy and glad to rescue the animal. They gave everything they could in order to save the wolf’s life. Their humane side prevailed and they did not hesitate risking their own lives in order to save another one.

Car of fallen officer covered in flowers but a single note on plain white paper leaves it’s mark

Losing someone who had been by your side through tick and thin is the hardest thing ever. You don’t only lose a loved one, but you also lose the feeling of safety and security.

Officer Charles Irvine Jr. was only 23 when he died in a car accident while on duty. During his life, he impacted a great number of people and now the entire community gathered to show him respect. The city of Milwaukee constructed a memorial in his honor and his car was all covered in flowers.

One 12-year-old boy named Avant Turner was passing by the memorial and decided to stop. As he was looking at the decorated vehicle, he noticed the photo of the officer and realized he knew him very well. In fact, Officer Charles helped Avanti a lot. It was then that the young boy felt the urge to honor his late friend the best he could. He took out a pen and poured his deepest emotions on a piece of paper.

Avanti first met the late officer when his brother got arrested. Ever since, the boy would often stop off at the precinct before school. He and officer Charles talked about life and school, and Charles helped Avanti with his homework.

Speaking to WISN 12 News, Avant admitted, “He the only person I could tell my secrets to… I can only tell him, cause he the only one who understands.”

Avanti’s mom also knew just how much Officer Charles meant to her son. “There’s a lot of stuff going on again with officers, where the community is not trusting the officers, but some of them, you can find a lot of trust in. You’ve got to find those ones, and Officer Irvine was the one,” she said.

Rest in peace, Officer Charles Irvine Jr.

Teacher is alarmed when she spots scared boy furiously pedaling bike on highway

By

Those who have been around young minds they need to shape and prepare for the future know that teaching isn’t just about making students gather knowledge in certain subjects but more about being there for the kids, teach them about life, and never stop believing in their abilities of becoming great people and valuable members of the community.

One very special teacher proved once again that every student who has been part of her classroom will always be her kid. One day, as she was driving on the open highway, Keller Sutherland noticed a former student of hers pedaling on his bike. It was obvious the boy was in a hurry, which made her think he might be in trouble.

Cameron’s father is a diabetic who very often suffers episodes that leave him in a very bad shape. That day was one of those when he felt really bad and the only person around was the seven-year-old boy. He knew he had to act quickly so he rushed to the neighbors’ house for help, but they weren’t home. Cameron then thought of calling 911 using his dad’s phone but it required a passcode.

The only thing he could think of was reaching to his grandma, who unfortunately lived five miles away. The boy didn’t hesitate a bit, so he quickly got on his bike and started riding as fast as he could. He didn’t consider the dangers of being on the open rode as the only thing on his mind was his father’s well-being.

When Cameron’s teacher saw the boy, she got worried that something could happen to him so she turned her car around and reached for her former student. When she asked him why he was in a rush, the boy explained how he had to get help for his diabetic father. Keller, the Ellen Woodside Elementary School teacher, later told Greenville News: “He was the bravest little boy I have ever seen.”

While the two were staying there on the road, two truckers pulled over and called 911. When the first-responders arrived, the teacher led them to Cameron’s house. They arrived just in time, because Cameron’s father’s condition was bad as he was laying in the bathroom unconscious.

This brave boy saved his father’s life. So young and already a hero. The incident triggered many questions of how to make it easier and available for young kids to be able to make emergency calls when facing similar situations. The principal at Ellen Woodside Elementary School organized a seminar to teach the students how to use different types of phones to call 911.

Cameron’s mother thanked everyone who helped and said how her son knew everything was going to turn just fine once he saw his teacher, Mrs. Keller Sutherland.

It’s amazing how teachers go above and beyond for their students. The bond that is created during lesson time and the trust kids have in their teachers last for a lifetime.

Orangutan mom giving birth to her first ever baby is caught on camera

The act of giving birth is a true miracle all by itself. Welcoming a living creature into the world speaks joy and unconditional love, and this isn’t only true for humans, but animals as well.

Cameras at the Durrell Wildlife Conservation Trust captured one of the most incredible moments ever. Sumatran orangutan gives birth to her first ever baby. The staff believed this new mom was infertile, but she surprised them all.

She could be seen sucking the baby’s sac before she gives it a hug and embrace it. Once the little bundle of joy is all clean, she takes it in her arms and shows it to her caretakers. Such a lovely moment showing a proud mother.

The never-before-seen footage of the “miracle birth” was later shared on YouTube. You can take a look at it yourself below.

Owner secretly films garbage man approaching his dog

By

Monica Pop

-

Whenever the garbage truck pulled up near the house of a man named Joshua Byrne, his dog Shelby would start acting in a strange manner. At first, he thought it could be the sound of the truck that disturbs the animal, but as he gave it a second thought, he realized that whenever Shelby was outside, chained to the post, she could actually reach for the garbage cans. So, it was obvious that her behavior was somehow related to the man behind the truck.

Byrne decided to see what is really going on, so he let Shelby outside at the yard and waited for the garbage man to come pick the trash as he stood at the window filming.

The moment the truck pulled up, Shelby started running towards the garbage man. Byrne’s heart stopped for a second as he was sure his dog would attack the man, but that’s not what happened. Shelby was just overly excited to see her friend who always makes sure to say hi to her and pet her on the head.

Byrne was surprised and happy at the same time. He had no idea of the sweet friendship that was taking place ‘behind his back.’

He was so glad the garbage man treated his dog with so much love that he got outside to thank him.

Since Byrne uploaded the video he took, it became a huge hit on the social media. It has already been seen more than 10.5 million times with people praising the garbage man. One person even wrote, “Dog petting breaks should be mandatory at every job,” and we agree.

Shelby used to be a shelter dog whom the Byrne family adopted. They say that she is making their days a bit better ever since she’s become part of their life.

Anderson Cooper recalls the final days he spent with his mother Gloria Vanderbilt: “It was lovely”

Anderson Cooper, one of the most prominent broadcast journalists and political commentators, found his way to television all thanks to his reputation as an on-the-ground reporter of breaking news events. Among the rest, he covered Hurricane Katrina, the Haiti Earthquake which took place in 2010, and a lot more.

In 1995, Cooper was hired as a correspondent at ABC News, and then in 2001, he joined CNN. In 2003, he was given his own show, Anderson Cooper 360°. He remains the host ever since.

In 2012, Cooper came out as gay and has received several awards by the LGBT rights organization GLAAD. At the same time, he became “the most prominent openly gay journalist on American television.”

Recently, Cooper spoke of his relationship with his mother Gloria Vanderbilt, who passed away in 2019 at the age of 95 after battling stomach cancer.

Cooper also opened up about his mother’s final weeks and revealed during an “Anderson Cooper and Andy Cohen in Conversation” event that the two “had an amazing last week or two together. We would just lay on her bed and hold hands,” as reported by People.

“When she got the diagnosis… she paused for a long time,” Cooper explained. “She was like, ‘Is it treatable?’ And [the doctor] said, ‘Look, you can go through treatments, but it’s like a miracle moonshot if it has any impact, and you’re going to be in a hospital.’ And she was like, ‘No, of course not.’ And then she paused for a long time and she said, ‘Well, it’s like that old song. Show me the way to get out of this world, because that’s where everything is,’ which is an old Peggy Lee song.”

He then found an old footage of Peggy Lee performing the song and played it for his mother.

“…She was like, ‘Oh, that’s marvelous,’ which was a big word my mom liked. And it became this thing that we would look at, this Peggy Lee video of her singing ‘Is That All There Is,’ like, once or twice a day,” the famous anchor revealed through tears. “And then she started to sing along to it and I would start to sing along. And then we had this great moment where she was holding my hand while we were listening to the song and it was like we were dancing. And it was lovely.”

When she was in her mid 80s, upon a gynecologist visit, she told her son, “I could still bear a child.” Cooper explained he was confused by his mother’s wish to have another child at such advanced years, but she told him that she was speaking of his child, not hers.

“She says to me, ‘Honey, I’m not talking about having a child of my own. I mean, that’s crazy. I’m 85,’” Cooper revealed while appearing on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, according to TODAY. “She’s like, ‘Well, you know you can get an egg anywhere nowadays.’ I was like, ‘Uh-huh.’ She’s like, ‘Well, what I was thinking is you get an egg and, you know, fertilize it with your sperm and I’ll carry your child.

“I finally said to her, ‘You know, Mom, I love you, but even for you, that is just bat—- crazy. That’s just nuts,” Cooper added.

Before she passed away, Cooper told his mother that he was going to be a dad, something Gloria Vanderbilt hoped for her entire life.

“I was able to tell her shortly before she died that I was going to have a baby,” Cooper said on Live With Kelly and Ryan, as quoted by The Hollywood Reporter. “…Wyatt hadn’t been created at that point. Wyatt wasn’t actually a being at that point. But he was an idea in my head and I was in the process of it.”

Mom reunites with son she gave up for adoption more than 3 decades ago thanks to a DNA test

By

Monica Pop

-

A lot of young women who end up pregnant without being in a relationship or having a stable job and a place to stay decide to give their babies up for adoption. This decision is probably one of the hardest in their lives, but they simply feel that they won’t be able to raise a child on their own and hope that the adoptive family would give their bundle of joy the life they deserve.

Melanie Pressley was only 18 when she learned she was pregnant. The news triggered mixed emotions. The thought of having a child made her happy, but at the same time she was aware she couldn’t take care of a baby all by herself. The father didn’t want anything to do with the baby and Melanie was financially unstable at the time, so she had to give up her son.

However, she never stopped thinking of her baby boy. The only memory she had of him was a photo her sister took.

“You go through a mourning period and yet live the rest of your life mourning,” Melanie told Fox News.

Her son ended up with a beautiful family; the Vosslers. They named him Greg.

Greg learned he was adopted when he was 10 years old but wasn’t curious about his biological parents until later in life. Namely, when he got married and had children on his own, he really wanted to learn who his real mom and dad were. So, he decided to take a DNA test. His biological mother, Melanie, did the test herself earlier so when Greg handed in his samples, there was a match.

After 33 years, he was finally going to meet his mom. Melanie was even more excited to hold her son again.

After chatting for long hours, they decided to meet in person in Ohio in June 2021.

Their reunion was one of the most beautiful ones. Greg got to meet his half-brother and his two half-sisters and a lot of his relatives. Melanie met her daughter-in-law and her grandchildren.

“Life has a funny way of giving you what you need, not what you want and I guess life just realized that we needed this connection and our families needed each other,” Greg told News 5 Cleveland.

Melanie also spoke of her feelings. “After finding him, I felt like my heart was just whole again. Becoming older, you kind of become a little wiser, but there is no shame in giving somebody up for adoption. There are loving couples out there that cannot have children that would love to raise a child.

“I’m telling you, if you could meet Greg, he was given a life beyond my belief. He was raised with manners. He was raised how you would dream. It’s just unbelievable.”

No hard feelings, just two people whose lives have become more complete after meeting one another.

25 bloody bite marks all over baby’s body: Mom’s horrific discovery after picking her girl up from daycare

By

Monica Pop

What most couples dream of is welcoming a child in their life. Although this means greater responsibilities, spending a bunch of money on diapers, and many sleepless nights, moms and dads describe having a kid as the most precious gift and the best thing in their life.

However, no matter how much parents would love to spend their days around their little ones, they have to go to work and earn money in order to provide for the family. It’s then that parents turn to daycare centers and kindergartens that would take care of their kids while they are at their job. And choosing the perfect place is not that easy.

When one young Arizona mom named Alice Martin and her husband were about to pick a daycare for their 15-year-old daughter, they though they chose wisely and that Creative Beginnings Preschool was just the place.

But one day, as Alice picked the baby up from daycare, she noticed something that made her stomach turn and made her angry and sad at the same time. Her daughter’s body was all covered in bite marks.

Alice says the poor child was bitten more than 25 times. At least that’s what she was able to count.

Once home, Alice tried changing little Rosalynn’s clothes and it was then that she noticed the horrific sight. She just couldn’t believe her eyes.

”At first, I was like ‘are those really bite marks?’ And then, my brain kinda stopped thinking and I started crying,” Alice Martin told WKYT.

”There’s over 25 plus, it’s hard to tell. 25 would be the minimum that the police officer and I discussed.”

The case was so severe that the Tucson Police was informed of the incident and they are still trying to discover what had really happened and who hurt the child. As for now, no charges are filed.

“You always want to protect your children and I feel like that didn’t happen,” Alice said.

“I feel like I left her with someone that didn’t look out for her at all.”

“The fact that nobody intervened in how many minutes, maybe they were left alone, maybe they disregarded the cries, I don’t know, but it takes some time to do that kind of biting and my daughter would have been very upset,” the worried mom said.

As for now, the daycare hasn’t released a statement regarding the incident.

Speaking to KOLD News 13, The Arizona Department of Health Services said:

“ADHS is investigating the incident at Creative Beginnings Daycare and working with law enforcement. The investigation is not completed and ADHS cannot comment on pending investigations.”

As for Alice, she’s hoping those who are responsible for what have happened to her girl will pay for their actions. In case that doesn’t happen, other children may suffer the same consequences as little Roselynn.

“The fact that nobody intervened in how many minutes, maybe they were left alone, maybe they just disregarded the cries, I don’t know. But it takes some time to do that kind of biting and my daughter would have been very upset,” she said.

Our children are our treasure and we have to make all in our power to keep them safe and sound at all times.

Ivanka Trump and her husband tried to “force their way” into meeting with Queen Elizabeth

By

Monica Pop

-

After losing the presidential elections to Joe Biden, Donald Trump and his family settled in Florida. His daughter Ivanka Trump and her husband Jared Kushner are reported to have bought a $30 million worth piece of land on the island of Indian Creek Village, Florida, also known as the “Billionaire Bunker” where they are planing on building their dream house.

After trying herself as a model, a business owner with clothing lines, and most recently a presidential advisor, Ivanka Trump seems to have opted for a much calmer life. According to some magazines, she wants to focus on her family while working as an “informal adviser” for a new nonprofit group dedicated to “perpetuating former President Trump’s populist policies.”

However, being a Trump, it isn’t quite easy to stay out of the spotlight as many people are eager to know what each member of the family is doing every step of the way.

Recently, new information about Ivanka and Jared’s time as advisors emerged in the memoir by the former White House press secretary Stephanie Grisham, I’ll Take Your Questions Now.

The memoir was released this week, but Washington Post had obtained an early copy of the book.

Grisham held the position of the White House press secretary for some nine months before she was transferred to First Lady Melania Trump’s office. At the same time, she worked as a communications director and knows a lot about the Trump family.

Among the rest, she’s pretty critical of Ivanka and her husband who caused a stir and came under fire when they started working as advisors. Back then, Ivanka answered back and explained that she would serve as an unpaid employee in the White House office.

Richard Painter, a law professor at the University of Minnesota, spoke to the Guardian when Ivanka was assigned the new role in 2017 and said, “She has a West Wing office, she has equipment, she has a White House email address, she’s going to be doing policy work. For purposes of the conflict of interest statute, I believe she is a government employee.”

Grisham describes a specific incident with Ivanka and Jared which took place prior to an official visit of then-president of the United States, Donald Trump, to England. According to Grisham, Ivanka and Jared tired to force their way into a scheduled meeting with Queen Elizabeth. In fact, they were very persistent to be part of the trip, which would have been a serious breach of protocol, but were shut out.

Apparently, they were told they couldn’t be part of the official visit due to limited capacity of the helicopter.

“I finally figured out what was going on,” Grisham wrote. “Jared and Ivanka thought they were the royal family of the United States.”

Further, she wrote that Ivanka would use the words “my father” all the time during staff meetings, so she was referred to as “the Princess” by the staff and even First Lady Melania.

As for Jared, Grisham revealed that he would often get involved in other people’s projects and would then leave and blame others in case of failure. She referred to him as to “the Slim Reaper.”

“I had shared with Mrs. Trump many times my opinion that if we lost reelection in 2020 it would be because of Jared,” Grisham explained. “She didn’t disagree with me.”

As expected, the Trump family wasn’t happy with the book and the claims. Donald Trump spoke of Grisham and told The Hill, “She became very angry and bitter after her break up and as time went on she was seldom relied upon, or even thought about. She had big problems and we felt that she should work out those problems for herself. Now, like everyone else, she gets paid by a radical left-leaning publisher to say bad and untrue things.”

He also added that she “didn’t have what it takes and that was obvious from the beginning.”

Dylan Little’s amazing journey: The boy who has proven his doctors wrong so many times

By

Kelly White

-

As parents, one of the absolute worst things that we can hear is they there is a problem with our young baby, a baby that is so dear to us, so when we hear that there is a problem, it’s really hard to hear.

Even though the odds can be stacked against you, or seem like they are, children are really resilient and can really surprise the most skeptical!

The amazing spirit to fight back against challenges, the courage to face hardships is really wonderful, and very inspiring too!

Dylan was born some five years ago, at that time the doctors said that they realized very quickly that there was something wrong, the skin on his back was dark red, the rest of his body was covered in big, what seemed like, liver spots, you couldn’t miss it.

It happened that Dylan did, in fact, have a serious problem called Congenital Melanocytic Nevus, where 80% of his body was covered in birthmarks!

The doctor said to his mother, Kara, that her son had to go through many surgeries in the first few years of his life.

Other patients that have Congenital Melanocytic Nevus also have a higher risk of skin cancer developing, and it’s really important for them to always keep a watch on their birthmarks.

The huge mole that covered most of Dylans back was so incredibly big that the doctor said they would surgically remove it, but it was a hard operation and used skin from other parts of his tiny body, poor boy!

Dylan grew older and the doctor said that they were then able to perform the more complex operations, and also to have enough skin to transplants.

They even put breast implants into those areas to stretch the skin ready for the operations, this boy is really one brave boy!

Dylan had these implants for a long time, three months of putting up with them, his skin grew bigger in that time to help to have enough skin to get rid of the huge moles on him.

Dyan has had so very many operations so far, after 26 operations, around half of his huge mole was removed.

His mom, Kara said:

“We’re holding onto hope that the moles never turn on and become cancerous, but he could develop cancer at any point …He has surgery every three to six months, dependent on which area of the body.”

Even though he had all his operations and hardship he that he suffered, he really is a happy little boy!

Kara said to the news:

“We are trying to do what’s best for him, we want to give him the fullest, longest life we possibly can …Dylan amazes me constantly, he always has a smile on his face and feels like he owns the hospital, all the nurses know and love him.”

Dylan knows that he looks different to other kids, but he’s ok with that, strangers stare sometimes, but then Dylan explains to them why he looks how he is.

Most people are just a little interested in why he is like that and are polite, sometimes though there are others that are really mean, some people are just plain mean people!

Kara said:

“Once in a supermarket a store manager asked us to leave because one of their customers was upset about having seen our child, which was very upsetting”

His mom, quite rightly, refused to hide or be ashamed in any way at all, we commend her!

She goes on to say:

“I’m not afraid to take him out at all and I don’t want him to be worried or think there is something he should be ashamed of.”

His parents also created a Facebook page to follow his recovery, and for people that may be interested in his recovery too.

Dylan is such a brave and clever little boy, we wish him the best for the future and that all his future operations go really well.

Please feel free to share his story and to celebrate both his braveness and his awesome fighting spirit for life, such a brave boy needs recognition and encouragement, how amazing!

Mother meets her daughter 69 years after the hospital pronounced her baby dead

Our hearts break into a million pieces for this poor mother who missed so much in life. She missed holding her baby daughter in her arms, singing her lullabies, getting her ready for school, and what’s most, she missed the birth of her grandkids, as well as seeing their kids come to this world. It’s heartbreaking to know that her life could have been a lot different, but unfortunately, it is now way too late for anything to be changed.

Genevive Puriton was an 18-year-old lady when she got pregnant and gave birth to a baby daughter back in 1949. She was over the moon and couldn’t wait to embrace her bundle of joy when she heard the nurses saying how the baby didn’t make it. This young mother’s world collapsed. This affected her so hard that she couldn’t move on and have a family on her own or any more kids.

However, little did this woman know that her biological daughter was safe and sound, living with a foster family on the other side of the country. Connie Moultroup always wanted to trace her biological parents. And now, after 69 years, her dream came true.

With the help of DNA tests and analyzes Connie came to the conclusion that her mother was the 88-year-old lady Genevieve Purinton. The encounter between the long lost mother and daughter is something so deep and touching that it will make tears of emotions roll down your face. This is the most beautiful moment in the life of Genevieve.

However, it is beyond sad that they can never make up for all the years lost. This mother was condemned to a lifetime of emptiness and loneliness. The poor lady missed all the joys, but at least she got the one last chance to kiss her baby girl.

Take a look at the heartwarming reunion in the video below!

Woman stuck in flood can’t believe her eyes as a group of Marines wearing dress blues runs towards her

Many people from other parts of the world dream of living in America. They all desire to achieve the American Dream at the land of freedom, honor, justice, and opportunity.

One thing that makes America a great country is its military. The men and women who serve are our pride and joy.

A recent video shared on TikTok by the user @vigi.boo shows the incredible sense of sacrifice by our Marines.

With the recent floods which took place in Virginia, many found themselves stuck on the roads, unable to move for many hours. The woman behind the video got stranded in the middle of a highway in Arlington, Virginia’s Columbia Pike, parts of which were completely flooded.

As she was standing there not knowing what to do, she spotted a group of Marines wading through the water to help her. They were wearing their dress blues and were more than willing to do what they do best, serve the citizens.

“The Marines are going to help us?” the woman could be heard asking. “We just got stuck.”

The men, whose uniforms were soaked because of the pouring rain, started pushing the vehicle.

“This is the most American thing ever,” the woman in the video could be heard saying in excitement. She kept repeating “Thank you so much!” to the Marines as they pushed the vehicle.

Many media users who have seen the video agree with the woman who took it. This truly was “The most American thing ever.”

“As an immigrant we don’t usually see these things in the country I grew up in,” the woman wrote alongside the video she shared online, according to ARLNow. “I am so grateful for the country and its Marines and military.”

Some commented that the heroes who lent a helping hand were in their uniforms because they were “the guys that ceremoniously carry the caskets of fellow Marines at Arlington National Cemetery.”

A sign for the Memorial Bridge, which is near the historic military resting grounds, could be seen in the background of the video.

What these Marines did is all our country should be about, and that’s taking care for one another. Thank you and may God bless you all.
