Cancer survivor kicked off from bridal party because bride didn’t want someone with bald head on the photos

When we think about it, the wedding day is all about family and friends for some brides, and all about perfect photoshoot and a chance to brag for others.

The bride in this story is described like a real bridezilla by some, but there are also those who believe she didn’t do anything wrong when she asked her friend of many years, who is a cancer survivor, not to be her bridesmaid because of her bald head.

A woman that goes under the name bridesmaidwoes123, took to Reddit to ask the fellow redditors whether she was the selfish one, as the bride claimed, or she had all the right to be mad and refuse to attend the wedding.

This what she wrote: “I am very good friends with the bride to be, lets call her Karen for simplicity. She got engaged about 1.5 years ago and immediately asked me to be a bridesmaid which I was thrilled about (she was my maid of honor for context). To make a long story short I got some real bad news in the past year and had to undergo radiation and chemotherapy.”

Karen was quite supportive of her and helped her overcome the tough period which came with the devastating diagnosis. Not only that, but Karen invited her out to celebrate her remission and took her to spa. The two had a lot of fun until Karen said she had a special surprise.

“At the end of the day she takes me to a special hair salon which specializes in high quality wigs. I am a little taken aback by this because Karen knows that a lot of the work I have been involves psychological treatment in cancer patients and avoiding the shame associated with hair loss for instance. I politely go through the appointment and even try on some wigs although I was quite upset honestly,” the woman wrote.

Karen offered to pick a wig for her, but the woman sharing this story didn’t want one. What’s most, she wanted to forget all about that day.

Later that day, Karen called the woman and told her that she couldn’t be part of her bridal party because the minister believed there were too many people invited already.

“This completely floors me because basically I am her number 2 girl after her sister (who she barely gets a long with),” the woman explained. “I call around and it although some of the other bridesmaids are reluctant to tell me anything hint at the fact that Karen was worried about how the pictures are going to look with someone with a bald head.”

She also added that she tried contacting Karen but there was no answer back. Later, however, Karen called her back and tried convincing her that her hair had nothing to do with her decision to remove her from the bridal party.

A lot of redditors took a stand. One person wrote: “…I think brides like this ought to just cancel their weddings and host fancy photo shoots instead. It’s all about the pictures for them. To hell with friends, family, the comfort of guests, etc… It sucks to lose a friend. But then again, she doesn’t really seem like a friend at this point. The phrase, ‘when people show you who they are, believe them’ comes to mind.”

Another person, however, posted: “Wig shopping after cancer treatment seems like something super personal to me. I think Karen should have discussed this with you, before she took you to this shop and tried to buy you a wig. She crossed a boundary here by trying to change your look and your body, when you’ve just been through an experience where you didn’t have control over your own body. Does that make sense?”

Third person said: “Wouldn’t having a healthy friend in her wedding be a great gift? You’re a warrior. Screw the wig. Also, as a minister’s kid, I can safely say that ministers know enough to not stick their noses into bridal planning. So she’s a shit liar and a shit friend. Congrats on remission!”

Meghan Markle will not be attending Prince Philip’s funeral because she doesn’t want to be “the center of attention”

The plans for The Duke of Edinburgh’s funeral were made long ago and were dubbed “Operation Forth Bridge.” Initially, it was planned for around 800 people to attend the ceremony. However, due to the restrictions imposed because of the ongoing pandemic, the number of people who will be attending Prince Philip’s funeral on Saturday is limited to 30. Sources say the Queen had a hard time choosing who will be there by her husband’s side to say their final goodbyes.

Among those attending the service will be Prince Philip’s children and their spouses, the Prince of Wales and the Duchess of Cornwall, the Princess Royal and Vice Admiral Sir Timothy Laurence, the Duke of York, and the Earl and Countess of Wessex, as well as his grandchildren, including Prince Harry, who stepped foot on British soil after spending over a year in the States.

However, Meghan Markle will miss the service. According to reports, she has been advised by her doctors not to travel considering she’s carrying her second child. It has been also reported that Meghan had a good relationship with Prince Philip. But, according to some magazines, including Daily Mail, the real reason why Meghan didn’t accompanied her husband to Britain is the stir they caused after the interview with Oprah during which a lot had been revealed.

“Meghan said her main concern right now is supporting Harry. She said she left it up to him as to whether or not she would attend the funeral,” the source told Daily Mail.

Her friends, on the other hand, say she opted to stay in America because she didn’t want to be “the center of attention.”

A source close to Meghan said that the Queen understands her absence and adds: “Meghan said this is the opportune time for Henry to mend his relationship with his brother and his dad. She doesn’t need to be there for that.”

Buckingham Palace released a statement which included the details of the funeral which will take place on April 17, at three o’clock, and will start with a national minute of silence.

According to The Sun, Prince Philip spent quite some time helping design the specially built Land Rover in which his coffin would be carried.

The Independent reports that the specially designed vehicle will be flanked by several pall bearers to reflect the late prince’s relation with the military, the Royal Marines, Regiments, Corps and Air Stations. As per the Daily Mail, in a conversation with the Queen, Prince Philip once said: “Just stick me in the back of a Land Rover and drive me to Windsor.”

Rest in peace, Prince Phillip.

Prince Harry expects from the royal family to apologize to Meghan over the way they treated her

By

Speaking to Oprah, during the bombshell interview, Meghan said that she believed the rumors that the Buckingham Palace itself might have played a role in helping the British tabloid press smear her and Harry could be true. “I don’t know how they could expect that after all of this time, we would still just be silent if there was an active role that the Firm is playing in perpetuating falsehoods about us,” she said. “And if that comes with risk of losing things, I mean, I’ve—there’s a lot that’s been lost already.”

Royal author Tom Quinn presented some thoughts on why the relationship between the Sussexes and the rest of the family sort of broke down. According to him, Meghan was told at one point that she would never be “in first division.”

Next, it seemed like the former Suits star wasn’t happy that she and Harry got to live into Nottingham Cottage, which according to what Quinn told Express “is tiny compared to the enormous double apartment that Kate and William have.”

According to US Weekly, Harry believes that his wife deserves an apology by his family for the way they treated her. “The problem with Harry is that he’s hooked on being right and regardless of saying he wants to move on from this, he won’t back down until he gets some form of apology from his family,” the source told the magazine.

Meghan spoke of her mental health and the struggles she experienced after she became part of the royalty. She and Harry touched the question of racism after they revealed there were conversations about the color of Archie’s skin before he was even born. According to Meghan, she didn’t get any help when she decided to open up about her suicidal thoughts and was told it could affect the Firm’s reputation.

From the moment Meghan started dating Harry, she was somehow “attacked” by the tabloids that has followed her every step, and apparently, Harry wanted to prevent the “history from repeating itself,” referring to the intensive relationship between his late mother and the paparazzi.

That was one of the reasons why the couple decided to step down from their royal duties and opted for a more ordinary life in America, away from Harry’s family.

Prince William will give Harry “one more chance” to prove his loyalty to the family

From revelations about Meghan’s suicidal thoughts and the inability of the Royals to deal with her condition because of fears that their reputation could be ruined, to conversations about what the color of then unborn Archie might be and Harry’s belief that his father and brother are “trapped” inside the system, the Sussexes revealed a lot. And as it seemed like they needed to ease their souls with that bombshell interview, it only affected the relationship between Harry and William further.

The Royals spoke out through a statement saying they will further research the allegations brought out by Harry and Meghan who stepped down from their royal duties and moved to America.

Prince William also commented the allegations and said “We’re very much not a racist family” when asked for a comment on the matter by a Sky News reporter during a formal visit.

The Sussexes are now living the life they dreamed of when they stepped down from their royal duties. They are expecting their second child, a daughter, and Harry was reported to have found a job at the Silicon Valley with the startup company BetterUp.

At the same time, they have made contracts with Netflix and Spotify and are working with their non-profit organization Archewell.

The couple’s show, Heart of Invictus, which will be produced by their Archewell Productions company is expected to be shown on Netflix. The series will show competitors preparing for the 2022 Invictus games.

“Since the very first Invictus Games back in 2014, we knew that each competitor would contribute in their own exceptional way to a mosaic of resilience, determination and resolve,” Harry said of the games he initiated back in 2014, according to Sky News.

And as Harry is trying to live and ordinary life, Prince William isn’t happy with some of his brother’s choices. According to US Weekly’s Christina Garibaldi, “William thinks Harry chose fame over family,” as quoted by Express.

“A source tells us that ‘William feels that Harry has got too big for his boots since moving to California and that success and Hollywood has gone to his head.’ He’s already accused him of putting fame over family after the big interview but is willing to give Harry one last chance to prove his loyalty to his family.”

Currently, Harry is in Britain as he will be attending his grandfather’s funeral. He and William are about to meet for the first time after the bombshell interview. Hopefully, they will manage to put their differences aside.

Meghan won’t be attending the funeral as her doctor advised her not to travel.

Bus driver caught on camera helping elderly blind man navigate his route

When an obstacle comes our way, we have to do everything in our power to overcome it and accept the reality.

Gene Hubbard was diagnosed with diabetes more than 20 years ago and doctors made it clear that he had to adapt his lifestyle to his new condition. Despite taking medications and monitoring his blood sugar levels, Gene lost his eyesight because of the condition. Being blind, however, didn’t interfere a great deal with his life only because he didn’t let that happen. He was determined to do his best to continue doing what he did before and is managing to function normally every single day.

He still has a full-time job and takes the bus every day relying on a series of memorized schedules, maps, and routes.

One day, Gene found himself in an unenviable situation because of a sudden change of route. Speaking to Fox 6, Gene explained what had happened, saying: “If I don’t have a regular locating point to start from, I may as well be in the middle of the ocean.”

Thankfully, someone caring decided to step up for Gene without knowing his act of kindness had been caught on camera. The young bus driver, Thaddaus Turner, could feel that Gene was in distress, so he decided to pull over his bus and walk Gene to his typical path.

All thanks to Thaddaus’ help, Gene could get home safe and sound. It might be a small act for the driver, but it meant the world to someone like Gene.

Thank you young man for your heart of gold. If only we were all as caring as Thaddaus, the world would definitely be a much better place.

News on Simon Cowell’s health following electric bike accident

By

When it comes to music talent shows, Simon Cowell is the first name that comes to mind. He’s considered one of the strictest and most harsh judges, but his experience in the music business and industry gives him all the right to tell contestants the truth about their performance on the stage of American Idol, America’s Got Talent and The X Factor.

His scathing critical remarks became sort of trademark on the shows and people can’t wait to hear him judge the way only he can.

Some of the music names we have Cowell to thank for are Westlife, Little Mix, Leona Lewis, Olly Murs, Fifth Harmony, and Il Divo.

When he was young, Cowell didn’t really excel at school so his parents sent him to a boarding school, but at the age of 16, he left it. He didn’t like the life there, which could be seen from a letter he wrote to his parents back then and which was handed to him during an appearance at a British TV show. According to Daily Star the letter read:

“Dear Mum and Dad, I hope you’re happy to have finally got rid of me.

“I also hope you’re happy in your centrally heated warm house and you have a lot to eat, because I’m lying in a dormitory which has icicles on the inside, and there is nothing to eat. I’m freezing cold and hungry. I hope you’re finally satisfied. Simon.”

However, Cowell later said how he was in fact glad he went through that experience and wasn’t really mad at his mom and dad. “Every time I was sitting in chemistry lessons with stupid Bunsen burners and stuff, I thought, ‘I’m not going to do that when I’m 30.’ I’d get bored and I’d get frustrated and I couldn’t wait to leave,” he said.

Once he left school, he started working with his dad and soon after, he started his own business which wasn’t as successful as he expected. Eventually, Cowell founded S Records Label and his career took off almost overnight. By 2001 Cowell’s name was widely recognized across the Atlantic when he and Spice Girls’ manager Simon Fuller created the talent show Pop Idol. Cowell realized people loved it very much and he knew these shows would become his thing. Soon after, he became a multi-millionaire and is still one of the best in the business.

In 2014, Cowell became a dad. He and Lauren Silverman welcomed son Eric.

“Meeting Lauren and becoming a dad was the most fantastic thing to happen in my life,” Cowell told Hello Magazine.

“It’s hard when you have kids at my age but it’s amazing. When you work as hard as I do, you think, ‘What’s it all going to be for at the end?’ Then somebody like him comes along and it’s all worthwhile.”

In 2017, Cowell fell down the stairs due to low blood pressure but luckily didn’t suffer any serious injuries. That experience, however, was a wake-up call for him to change his lifestyle. He went vegan and lost around 60 pounds. “I can eat certain fruits, but not all fruits. You have to be careful because some fruit can have more sugar than a can of Coke,” Cowell told The Sun. “Once you get into a pattern I’ve found it quite enjoyable. It has helped me sleep and I wake up feeling less tired. I noticed a massive difference in how I felt in about a week.”

Sadly, Cowell suffered another accident last year after he fell off his electric bike. He hurt his back badly and had to undergo a six-hour surgery.

He even warned his fans to be extra cautious when riding electric bikes. “Some good advice… If you buy an electric trail bike, read the manual before you ride it for the first time,” he wrote on Twitter along with a thank you for the kind messages.

Speaking to Extra TV, Cowell explained that he felt really frightened when he saw the X-ray of his back. “I knew I’d broken my back the minute I landed. It was really, really kind of sudden and it hurt,” he said. “It could have been a lot worse. When I saw the X-ray, I really nearly could have smashed my spine to pieces, so I literally wouldn’t have been able to walk.”

The recovery did take some time, although Cowell revealed that he got out of bed and started walking just two days after his surgery. Speaking to People, he said he felt “embarrassed about coming home looking about 100 because I couldn’t walk, and I have these metal rods in my back and these screws.”

He also shared a sweet moment he shared with his son Eric. “I said, ‘Lauren, I just don’t know how to explain it to Eric.’ She obviously said something to him because he came in and I was lying in bed and he said, ‘Daddy, you’re like Ironman,’ and I thought that was the sweetest thing and it meant a lot.”

The good thing is that he’s feeling better and better with each passing day and keeps himself in great shape by walking and exercising. According to The Sun, we’ll see Cowell back for the shooting of the new season of America’s Got Talent.

The pandemic allowed him to spend more time with his family and run his business from the comfort of his home. One thing is certain, Simon Cowell looks better than ever.

Experts reveal that Harry and William will stand “shoulder to shoulder” at Prince Philip’s funeral

As the British people, as well as people from all over the world, mourn the loss of Prince Philip, The Duke of Edinburgh and life-long husband of Queen Elizabeth, all eyes are on the Royal family.

The protocol about the funeral that will take place on April 17 has been released and it was said that Prince Philip will be laid to rest in the famous St. George’s Chapel in Windsor. The funeral will start with a national minute of silence and his coffin will be carried in a specially built Land Rover Prince Phillip himself helped design.

The Buckingham Palace released a statement. “The Funeral Service will be attended by Her Majesty The Queen and Members of the Royal Family.

“The coffin, carried by a Bearer Party found by the Royal Marines, will be received at the top of the West Steps of St George’s Chapel by the Dean of Windsor and the Archbishop of Canterbury. The Duke of Edinburgh’s Naval Cap and Sword will be placed on the coffin ahead of the service and His Royal Highness’s Insignia will be laid on the Altar of the Chapel. At the conclusion of the service, His Royal Highness will be interred in the Royal Vault in St George’s Chapel.”

Because of the pandemic, the number of people who will attend the funeral is around 30, and Prince Harry will be one of them.

The wide public is in anticipation to see if the relationship between Prince Philip’s grandsons William and Harry will heal after the bombshell Oprah interview. The brothers are about to see each other at their grandfather’s funeral during which they will be standing “shoulder to shoulder” according to experts.

After the number of claims and comments revealed by The Sussexes, among which the one that William and Charles are trapped inside the system, the brothers haven’t been on good terms, and according to sources, Harry even wanted to ask from his family to apologize to Meghan over the way they treated her.

“The problem with Harry is that he’s hooked on being right and regardless of saying he wants to move on from this, he won’t back down until he gets some form of apology from his family,” a source told US Weekly.

US Weekly correspondent Christina Garibaldi revealed: “William thinks Harry chose fame over family,” as quoted by Express.

“A source tells us that ‘William feels that Harry has got too big for his boots since moving to California and that success and Hollywood has gone to his head. He’s already accused him of putting fame over family after the big interview but is willing to give Harry one last chance to prove his loyalty to his family.”

Many want to believe that attending Prince Philip’s funeral together is the start of the reconciliation between the brothers.

According to Daily Mail, royal expert and author Penny Junior said: “My hope is that if something good can come out of the Duke’s death it will be that it brings the family together. But clearly there is a lot of hurt there on all sides, and I imagine they will all be feeling apprehensive about seeing one another again.

“With luck, their desire to support the Queen and pull together for her sake, which I am sure is what the Duke would have wanted, will win the day.”

We truly hope the two princes will be able to rebuild their relationship.

Prince Philip spent the final days of his life at Windsor Castle by Queen Elizabeth’s side

It was Her Majesty The Queen who shared the news of the passing of her husband of 73 years, Prince Philip, The Duke of Edinburgh.

Prince Philip died two months before what would have been his milestone birthday. He was 99 years old and described by many as one of the most special individuals there are.

Although he was a prince himself, he had to give away his title Prince of Greece and Denmark and had to accept that his children wouldn’t have his last name. But, he did all that for the love of his life who he supported throughout their marriage of many years.

Prince Andrew, Prince Philip’s son, said: “The Queen as you would expect is an incredibly stoic person. And she described his passing as a miracle. And she’s contemplating. She described it as having left a huge void in her life,” as per CNN. The Queen and the entire family were glad Prince Philip didn’t die at the hospital but in the comfort of his home, the Windsor Castle.

Almost a month prior to his passing, Prince Philip stayed at a hospital for some time in order to be supervised by doctors because of his fragile health. He was released on March 16 and now details of his final days have emerged.

It is with deep sorrow that Her Majesty The Queen has announced the death of her beloved husband, His Royal Highness The Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh.

Speaking to The Daily Mail, royal expert Richard Kay shared: “No longer the decisive man of action who had devoted a lifetime to supporting her, she was now able to repay him.

“Domestic timetables such as mealtimes were torn up to accommodate him when he felt he was strong enough to join her. Even with failing health signalling that his life was drawing to a close, the two were still able to enjoy time with each other as they always had.

“In recent weeks he would often sleep for much of the day, but there were moments of great lucidity and joyful togetherness.

“One such moment came when he dropped his reading glasses. A footman in attendance leapt forward to pick them up. ‘Never mind,’ the duke said, raising his arm. ‘I’ll do it.’ And so he did, bending down to the floor.

“On another occasion the Queen was overheard reflecting that her husband of 73 years was refusing to use his hearing aid. ‘It means we have to shout.’”

Prince Philip and Queen Elizabeth’s love story was legendary — their 73-year-plus marriage was the longest in royal history. ❤️ But well before their wedding in November 1947, there were signs the two were destined to be together. https://t.co/wdkxUqpNa9 pic.twitter.com/QkTmtKXcRU

Some days when he felt better, he and the Queen would go outside the castle to take in the sun.

Prince Philip’s last wish was to remain in his home, and according to a source, there were suggestions for him to be taken back to the hospital last Thursday but the Queen rejected that because she wanted to grant him his wish.

According to what Charles Anson, who served as a press secretary to the Queen, told People, she was somehow preparing for the moment of losing her husband.

“She would have thought about this moment several times, and her way would be to remain as steady and as calm as possible.

“That comes naturally to her through her temperament and her experience.

“In my years of working for her she was always calm, no matter what was going on. But for any human being, this is a very cathartic moment.

“There were some things they had to deal with together that were difficult, but it was a long marriage with a great deal of happiness. He took very seriously his role as a support for the Queen as monarch.”

Mom holds her dead preemie for two hours and begs him to come back to life

Learning the news that they are expecting a baby is something many couples dream of, especially if they had struggled conceiving for a long time.

A coupe from Australia, Kate Ogg and David were over the moon when they were told they would become parents after years of trying.

Their joy was doubled when they spotted two babies during the ultrasound.

However, twins pregnancies can be complicated at times, so Kate had to give birth to her two bundles of joy prematurely. Sadly, baby boy Jamie was declared dead soon after he was welcomed into the world. Or, at least doctors thought so.

Baby Emily was perfectly healthy, but neither Kate nor David would accept that Jamie didn’t make it.

They asked from the doctors to spend some time with him before saying the final goodbye.

The motionless tiny body broke the parents’ hearts, but they never stopped fighting for his life.

“I saw him gasp but the doctor said it was no use. I took Jamie off the doctor, asked everyone to leave. He was cold and I just wanted him to be warm,” Kate told The Daily Mail.

Both Kate and David crawled into the bed with their son and had him close to their skin.

They spoke to him, sang him songs, and told him how much they loved him.

Sweet Jamie would gasp every now and then, but the medical staff told the parents that it was just his reflexes and that they shouldn’t expect a miracle.

But, a miracle did happen. After the skin-to-skin contact that lasted for a couple of hours, Jamie was there, he started breathing on his own. He was alive!

Needless to say, the doctors were left in complete shock, but the parents knew their love was so strong that it helped their little one live.

David said, “Luckily I’ve got a very strong, very smart wife. She instinctively did what she did. If she hadn’t done that, Jamie probably wouldn’t be here.”

The happy parents were able to leave the hospital they way it should always be, with their both children in their arms.

Now, after 9 years, Emily and Jamie are perfectly healthy children. Doctors feared that what happened at birth could affect Jamie’s life, but they were wrong again.

Take a look at the miraculous story in the video below.

Couple driving on Boulder Highway in Las Vegas spot a toddler biking right into oncoming traffic

Sometimes, it takes just a second of not looking for little children to wander off and find themselves in extremely dangerous situations.

A husband and a wife were driving along the Boulder Highway outside of Las Vegas when they spotted a very young boy riding his tiny bike in the middle of the highway. Knowing that there aren’t many houses there, as it’s mostly desert and very few suburbs, they were pretty much shocked by the sight. In fact, the husband repeatedly asked his wife to turn the flashers on as he thought he was seeing wrong.

The toddler could barely walk but he still managed to ride his bike very slowly.

The woman, who was behind the wheel, pulled her car over and had her flashes on, trying to block the traffic in order to avoid a tragedy from happening. Both she and her husband rushed out of the vehicle and the man grabbed the boy together with his bike.

On the other side of the road, the couple spotted a block of houses and assumed the boy got out of home without being noticed so they started ringing houses’ bells and looking for the parents while waiting for the police to arrive.

One of the residents, Matthew Eskridge, spoke to Fox 5 and explained how the man approached him and asked him if he knew who the boy belonged to. “As I came out the mom was running down the street and she ran out the gate cause she seen the cars parked on the side of the road,” Eskridge added.

The mom was in panic and feared the worst. However, the moment she spotted her son, she was relieved.

The mother said she didn’t notice her boy leaving the place and explained how the gate to the neighborhood isn’t always closed and doesn’t latch properly. Although the community is gated, being located so close to the highway is indeed risky.

We are so glad a tragedy was avoided all thanks to the couple who spotted the wobbling toddler just on time.

Mom thinks dog is lost, only to find him napping with her toddler

That dogs and tiny humans make best of friends is something we all know. These furry creatures always make sure their human siblings are happy and laughing and would do everything in their power to keep them safe and sound at all times.

There are also those parents who don’t want pets around the house, and it’s pity they are not really aware what their children are missing. Growing around a dog gives kids the feeling of protection and they learn how to be loving and responsible.

When a mom named Kristin Leigh Rhynehart introduced her newborn baby to her rescue dog Raven, she knew the two would fit just perfectly, but she never expected for Raven to fall in love with baby Addison so much and to never ever leave her side.

Raven was adopted nearly ten years ago and he made this family’s life better than ever.

One day, as the baby was in her room sound asleep, Kristin though it would be a great opportunity for her to spend some fun time with the dog, but to her surprise, Raven was nowhere to be found.

Kristen panicked and checked all the rooms once again before she went outside looking for the dog. She then got back in the house and realized there was one room she didn’t look Raven at; her baby’s room.

Once she opened the door, she stumbled upon the cutest sight ever. Raven was lying next to Addison, covered in blankets. He casually lifted his head and when he saw it was Kristin who was at the door, he simply continued napping next to his favorite human.

Kristin felt overjoyed as she was now more certain than ever that Raven was the perfect protector.

“Ten years ago I left a rescue with this little guy and I often wonder… who rescued who? I gave him a home, but he gave me so, so much more.” Kristin said.

Thankfully, she put everything on tape and people fell in love with what they had to see. The video has been seen more than 10 million times, and everyone agrees that dogs really are the best creatures God has ever created.

Six siblings get adopted together after spending 1,640 days in foster care

By

Because of one reason or another, a lot of children end up being part of the foster care system. A lot of them go from one family to another before being adopted, if that ever happens.

When siblings are placed in foster care, they are likely to be separated because the people who look for a child to foster or adopt usually ask for a single kid only. Sadly, it means that some of these brothers and sister only get to reunite once they leave the system. For others, that never happens.

Carlos, 14, Guadalupe, 13, Maria, 12, Selena, 10, Nasa, 9, and Max, 7, had a rough start early in life.

Left to fend for themselves, and being in the system, these siblings’ future was uncertain. They didn’t want to get separated, but that wasn’t the choice they could make for themselves.

However, their life changed for the better when they least expected after a couple, Steve and Rob Anderson-McLean, stumbled upon a photo of this cute family of six.

Speaking to Today, Rob recalled: “We saw their picture and fell in love. So many sibling groups are broken up because people just want to adopt the younger children. Steve and I knew these guys needed to be together.” Luckily, that’s exactly what happened. In 2018, all the six siblings got a home without having to be parted from one another.

“After the first week they were asking if they could stay forever. We took them to the park and to the zoo. We played in the yard. That was all new to them. Having fun was new to them,” Steve shared with Today.

Time passed by, and the kids started feeling like home. In the meantime, the adoption process was ongoing and everyone was hoping that the family will stay together forever.

Luckily, that’s exactly what happened. The adoption was officialized in 2019, and those witnessing the moment at the court shed tears of joy for the new family. “The kids felt this huge sense of relief. They had been let down by adults so many times in their life, and were nervous it wasn’t going to happen,” Steve said.

The kids couldn’t believe they were officially adopted. Steve recalled that one night, 7-year-old Max went to his room and wanted to make sure that they couldn’t possibly be unadopted. Steve assured him that they were now their children and no one could ever separate them.

We are so happy for this incredible family. We don’t get to read stories this uplifting every day, so make sure you share this one with your loved ones.

Woman who was sexually abused for years by her mother, brother, and stepfather was forced to dig her baby’s body from the grave to get justice

Some people’s life journey is so sad and full of obstacles and difficulties that we can’t help but shed a tear or two when hearing what they had to put up with and what they had to endure.

Maureen Wood, who is now married and a mother of five, has a chilling story to share.

The horror she suffered is unthinkable. She was only eight years old when her life changed completely. She remembers the day when she was for the first time abused by her older brother. It was a day like any other. The family was outside having a water fight when Maureen went inside the house to change her clothes. It was then that her brother entered the bathroom and started touching her. Although she was young, she knew what he did was terribly wrong, but she didn’t have the courage to speak out.

The abuse continued, and one day, around a year after it started, Maureen’s stepfather walked in to see her brother abusing her. “I felt relieved – because I thought he would stop it. I thought he would look after me,” Maureen recalled, as per The Mirror. Sadly, things turned even worse as the stepfather started abusing her too.

When her mother learned what was going on, Maureen, who was 10 at that point, believed her struggles would end. “I hoped against hope that my mum might step in and help me. But she walked into my bedroom and called me a ‘little wh**e.'”

The cruel mother became part of the abuse herself.

“They used to make me sleep in their bed, between them, and they took it in turns to abuse me. My mum helped to get me ready for when my step-dad would rape me,” Maureen said, as per The Mirror.

At the age of 13, Maureen got pregnant with her brother’s baby. She was still just a girl, and her mom only cared about what people would say in case they learned her daughter was carrying a child.

Maureen gave birth to a baby boy, Christopher, who only lived for a month.

“I adored him with all of my heart and for the first time in my life, I felt what love was.”

“When he died, I felt like my life had ended, my world had finished. He was the only person I truly loved,” Maureen told The Mirror. “It was raining the day we buried him. I felt like the heavens were crying with me and I just wanted to die.”

After Christopher’s death, Maureen’s brother and mother stopped abusing her, but she was still a victim of her step-father until she ran away from home when she turned 16.

It took Maureen years to find the courage to share her story and seek justice for everything she had to endure. At the age of 37, she went to court. However, she was asked for a proof, so this brave woman was forced to dig up her late baby’s body to be examined. The DNA sample showed that Maureen’s brother was indeed Christopher’s father. “It was almost as if Christopher was watching over me, helping my court case. He was – and still is – my guardian angel,” Maureen said.

Posted by Maureen Catherine Wood on Tuesday, 16 March 2021

Maureen got to see her brother sentenced to two years in jail, while her mother and her step-father were jailed for nine years and sixteen years respectively.

The chilling story was shared in Maureen’s book A Family Secret: My Shocking True Story of Surviving.

Speaking to the Daily Mail, now 51-year-old Maureen said that writing the book helped her close that chapter of her life and encouraged her to move forward.

“You have given me the world with your love” – Actor Pierce Brosnan posts tribute to his mother May on her 89th birthday

When we speak of Hollywood actors who can brag not only with a very successful career, but great looks too, we can’t help but think of one and only Pierce Brosnan. This incredible man, who is one of our favorite 007 agents, is still as attractive as he was back in the day.

Brosnan is loved by millions not only because of his success, but also for being a family man.

Source: Instagram/ piercebrosnanofficial

Recently, he congratulated his mom May Smith on her 89th birthday with a touching message. “Happy 89th birthday to my darling Mother May. You have given me the world with your love. All my love in return.”

The relationship between Brosnan and his mother was quite complex when he was still a child, but he describes her choices as brave and as the only right thing she could do for her and his well-being, referring to her decision to leave him with his grandparents to raise him while she moved from Ireland to England to work as a nurse.

A post shared by Pierce Brosnan (@piercebrosnanofficial)

According to the actor, his mother didn’t have it easy after her husband, Brosnan’s father, left her when the actor was still just a baby. She only visited Brosnan once or twice a year for the first ten years of his life. But after that, he went to live with her in London and the two became very close. In fact, they have nurtured that relationship until this day.

“To be Catholic in the ’50s, and to be Irish Catholic in the ’50s, and have a marriage which was not there, a father who was not there, consequently, the mother, the wife suffered greatly,” the actor told Cigar Aficionado in 1997.

Brosnan rose to fame with the number of movies he starred in, including the legendary agent James Bond, whom he played from 1995 to 2002. His first 007 movie was Golden Eye, which was a huge success. Other prominent movies Brosnan was part of are The Thomas Crown Affair, Mrs. Doubtfire, The World’s End, Mamma Mia!, and a lot more.

One of his future projects that we are eager to see him in is the upcoming film Black Adam where Brosnan plays the role of Doctor Fate and stares opposite Dwayne Johnson.

Brosnan’s first wife, Cassandra Harris, passed away in 1991. Some ten years later, he married his current wife Keely Shaye Smith with whom he has children Paris Brosnan and Dylan Brosnan. The actor has children Charlotte, Sean, and Christopher with late wife Cassandra.

Brosnan and Keely never miss a chance to show their love for another, whether through touching and beautiful photos they share or the sweet messages they devote to one another.

Soldier takes her own life after Army fails to handle the sexual assault she suffered

The life of soldier Morgan Robinson whose only dream was to serve the country and be part of the military ended way too soon because of the sexual assault she endured during deployment.

Today, her grieving mother, Debbie, is looking for the answers and asks for those responsible to be punished for forcing her daughter into taking her own life.

Megan was looking forward to her first deployment in Kuwait as she knew she would serve her country, but the joy was soon replaced with agony. “When she was in Kuwait, she was sexually assaulted and continually harassed by one of her superiors,” Debbie said. Morgan reported the abuse, but the Army remained both blind and deaf.

After Kuwait, Morgan was sent to Afghanistan. There, she undergone another abuse. This time, she was gang-raped by a group of soldiers and was again left traumatized.

“She was very scared. Because they threatened her, number one. And number two, she knew that it wouldn’t go anywhere. Nothing happened in Kuwait with the sexual assault and the harassment, so why would they do something, you know, in Afghanistan?” mother Debbie explained.

Not being able to cope with the emotional agony she suffered as a result of the abuse, Morgan killed herself. “You pray that it — that’s not how it’s going to end up,” mom Debbie said. “It wasn’t a matter of ‘if.’ It was a matter of ‘when.’”

After an investigation was launched, Debbie got a copy of it. “I just didn’t understand how they could actually stand there and look me in the eyes, and hand that to me,” she said of the heavily redacted pages.

She then noticed one of the passages read, “Sergeant Robinson suffered sexual, physical, and psychological trauma while deployed. The sequela of this trauma was a factor in her death.”

Debbie knows things could take a different turn if only the Army did something after her daughter’s reports. But they stayed silent and let her life end. “The military. The way they did not handle what happened,” the grieving mother said. “They can’t police their self. How can you investigate yourself? You can’t.”

The failure to handle Morgan’s sexual abuse led to a young life being taken away. “And to think that that’s what took her life. That’s what broke her. They wanted her body. And they took her soul.”

Take a look at Debbie’s emotional interview in the video below.

Not everyone deserves to be a parent. Some people are so careless when it comes to their children that the little ones end up being severely neglected and not cared for properly.

Sadly, such was the case with two 16-week-old twins from Russia whose parents locked them up and left them alone for four days so that they could go out and party. The friends of 23-year-old Margarita Yanayeva and 35-year-old Alexey were surprised to see them out partying during lockdown drinking binge and wondered who was taking care of the little ones, to what the parents responded that the twins were in the hospital being treated for coronavirus.

A source said, “In the course of four days they were not feeding the children, and did not arrange alternative care for them,” as reported by the Daily Mail. “Instead, they ‘subjected them to hunger, did not ensure hygiene, leaving the minors in a socially dangerous state.” They didn’t even bother to check on their children, neither they put any effort in finding someone who could take care of them while they were having fun.

The babies were only discovered after the grandmother tried contacting the parents but failed to reach them. She knew the area of Vilyuchinsk was under lockdown but she still decided to go and see if everything was fine as she was concerned for the safety of the family.

When she entered the apartment, she was left in shock and immediately alerted the police. The babies were in a very bad condition and were immediately rushed to a hospital in Russia’s Kamchatka region.

Father is left fighting for his life after being attacked by his son’s bullies on Easter Sunday

The worst thing about bullying is that it is very likely to affect the victim’s self-esteem for life. One doesn’t get away from the trauma of being bullied easily, and that is why we should do all in our power to prevent it from happening. Parents need to teach their children what’s right and what’s wrong from very early age and make sure they understand that bullying is part of the latter.

One father is left fighting for his life after he got attacked by the bullies who were throwing his 11-year-old son on the ground at Longcroft Park, Worthing, West Sussex, on Easter Sunday. The father tried defending his boy, but he ended up being a victim himself. The injuries he sustained were so severe that no one knows for sure what the extent of the damage would be when and if he wakes up.

Currently, 46-year-old Alan Willson, a care home worker, is in a coma in Royal Sussex County Hospital. As reported by The Sun, Alan suffered brain damage, lung trauma, broken bones, and fractured spine.

He is described by his family as the most genuine and most kind person there is.

Alan’s 25-year-old daughter Beckie took to Facebook to write how she feels regarding the tragic incident.

“I just wish I could just see you dad and tell you its going to be okay. Please dad fight for your f*****g life you are such a strong, caring man who has brought us kids up and loved us like we are your own. You have so much life left to live and a granddaughter who needs to grow up with her nan-dad. I wish I could just hold your hand but unfortunately Covid has decided that for us. You can do this dad.”

Five teenagers, aged 14 and 15, were arrested, but were released with bail just few hours later, which caused rage at the members of the community. The attackers are charged with attempted murder and grievous bodily harm with intent.

According to Alan’s wife, as well as the police, Alan was hit with hard objects multiple times while his son watched in horror. He had undergone a brain surgery.

“The assault and the build up to it occurred in a public park in daylight, so it was likely that other people would have witnessed the assault or the suspects running from the scene,” Inspector Simon Dunn, who is leading the investigation for Sussex Police, said.

“I am keen to hear from anyone who has information but is yet to come forward.”

Jack Hanna, or better known as “Jungle Jack,” is one of the most beloved animal experts that we know of. This man’s TV appearances on a number of talk shows, including “The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson,” “Late night with David Letterman” and “Today,” made him a much-loved TV personality. Hanna first appeared on the screens back in 1983, when he brought a baby gorilla on “Good Morning America.”

Ever since, he stole the hearts of millions of animal lovers and that led to his own shows such as Jack Hanna’s Animal Adventures and Jack Hanna’s Into the Wild.

A few days ago, Hanna’s family shared some sad news regarding his health with the fans. Through his Twitter account, Hanna’s three daughters wrote how their father was diagnosed with dementia and how his health was deteriorating.

For the last 40 years, TV’s Wildlife Advocate and @ColumbusZoo Director Emeritus @JungleJackHanna has traveled the world advocating for wildlife preservation and bringing conservation stories into our homes.

“Today, we reach out to share some personal Hanna Family news. Doctors have diagnosed our dad, Jack Hanna, with dementia, now believed to be Alzheimer’s disease. His condition has progressed much faster in the last few months than any of us could have anticipated. Sadly, Dad is no longer able to participate in public life as he used to, where people all over the world watched, learned and laughed alongside him.

“A passion for wildlife conservation and education has been at the core of who our dad is and everything he has accomplished with the help of so many.”

“He has spent his life connecting people and wildlife because he has always believed that having people see and experience animals is key to engaging them in more impactful conservation efforts. He’s always said, ‘You have to touch the heart to teach the mind.’

“Even though Dad is no longer able to travel and work in the same way, we know that his infectious enthusiasm has touched many hearts and will continue to be his legacy.”

The now 76-year-old Hanna retired from the position of director and then director emeritus of the Columbus Zoo and Aquarium in December 2020 after 42 years of service. The zoo is still considered one of the most beautiful ones in the country.

Hanna’s former colleagues are asking people to join them in sending messages of support to the family.

Stay strong, Jack Hanna.

13-year-old autistic boy dies after being restrained face against the floor by school staff

The tragic death of Max Benson, a 13-year-old autistic boy from California shook the country, and now, almost a year after the horrific incident in which he lost his life, Max’s mother, Stacia Langley, speaks of the life without him and of the case.

Max was attending the special needs school Guiding Hands School Inc. located in El Dorado, which was supposed to be a safe place for its students, but sadly, it wasn’t.

In one occasion, Max was restrained face against floor and kept in that position for more than an hour during which he became unresponsive.

3 special ed administrators being charged in the Nov 2018 death of Max Benson appeared in an El Dorado Co Courtroom. Benson’s special ed teacher, Kimberly Wohlwend, his principal, Staranne Meyers, and the school’s executive director, Cindy Keller all pleaded not guilty. @FOX40 pic.twitter.com/XyHPh50Eg7

— Doug Johnson (@DougJohnsonFX40) 13 November 2019

The El Dorado District Attorney announced they were filing charges against three people involved in the incident, Cindy Keller, the school’s executive director, Staranne Meyers, the school’s principal, and Kimberly Wohlwend, a special education teacher.

They have been charged with involuntary manslaughter, and the school is facing charges of felony involuntary manslaughter.

“This charge is based on the November 28, 2018, prone restraint of a minor student by Kimberly Wohlwend that resulted in that student’s death. This case is being filed after a lengthy, multi-agency investigation into the facts and circumstances that led to the death of this student.“

Speaking to Sacramento Bee, Max’s mom said, “I haven’t done much except just cry. He had a big personality. He was full of life, he was funny, he was all the things you want your kid to be. People get the wrong idea about autism and what it means. In reality, Max was 5 feet 3 inches tall and only had social delays.”

As the defendants are expected back in court on January 7, the attorney for Keller and Meyers, Linda Parisi said of her clients, “It is always a tragedy when there is a loss of life especially such a young life and a student. These two women have dedicated literally their entire lives to helping, educating, encouraging and working with special needs students.”

We are so very sorry that such young life was lost in such a tragic way. Rest in peace Max, we hope the justice will be served.

Principal’s speech is “interrupted” when teachers storm the stage to “Uptown Funk”

By

Monica Pop

-

Have you ever been part of a flash mob or witnessed one taking place in front of your eyes? If the answer to either of these questions is a yes, I have to say that I envy you. Why, you may wonder. Well, because flash mobs are not only fun and entertaining, but they take quite a lot of energy and effort to be organized.

This phenomenon first took place back in 2003, when writer and cultural critic Bill Wasic decided to do an experiment called the MOB Project. This project resulted in the streets of New York to be flooded with people who performed unique routines.

Some of the most famous flash mobs are the one taking place at Liverpool Street Station in 2009, when over 400 tourists and staff members showed off their dancing skills. This performance was so great that it was later used by T-Mobile for their advertising campaign. Another would be that of around 1,500 inmates of a Philippine prison. Their flash mob caught the attention of the whole world and even a movie was based on the event.

Well, to be honest, the flash mob in the video below is as cool. It happens during the “boring” speech of the principal of Whitmer High School at the 2017 Homecoming Pep Assembly. As he speaks, the teachers tell him to leave the stage and they start dancing to the surprise of the huge number of students. How cool is that?

As Bruno Mars’ “Uptown Funk” goes on, more and more people join in. Everyone in the crowd watches in awe and has a huge smile of their face.

People loved it so much after it was shared on YouTube that it gathered over 5.8 million views. Isn’t that something?

One person wrote, “This is the America I like.” On top of that, many spoke of how important teachers really are. “This is why we need to protect our public schools and teachers across America. They show up an go beyond both time wise and financially EVERY day. And, they truly do it because they care,” someone wrote, while another added, “Not only did the teachers do this because they love their students, they had to have rehearse for hours of THEIR OWN TIME. Way to go teachers and way to go students for appreciating them.”

Take a look at these awesome teachers’ dance in the video below and share it with your friends, you’ll make their day.

Mitchell Lapa, an 48-year-old man from Oshawa, Canada, did the unthinkable when he left a family devastated and mourning after he killed his sister’s three children and her husband of 20 years.

The whole country was in shock to learn of the gruesome murder by the mentally unstable Mitchell, as he was described by an old friend who also said that he wasn’t surprised by what Mitchell did.

The killer’s sister Loretta Traynor was also injured during the shooting which took place in her home when Mitchell entered armed and opened fire all of a sudden. After taking the lives of his two nephews, Bradley, 20, and Joseph, 11, his niece Adelaide, 15, and his brother-in-law, Mitchell “died as a result of a self-inflicted gunshot wound,” as reported by Durham Regional Police.

According to a friend of the killer who spoke to Toronto Sun, Mitchell didn’t kill his sister but left her severely injured instead because he wanted her to remain alive and suffer. Loretta’s fourth child, son Sam, survived because he wasn’t home at the time of the attack.

Loretta, who is now in a wheelchair, spoke of her pain and her grief on the funeral of her family. During the service, this devastated mother and wife said that her loved ones “were taken too soon, too violently and without warning,” as reported by CBC.

The surviving members of the Traynor family–Loretta Traynor and her son Sam–have released a statement via Durham…

“In no way, shape or form can I believe that good will come out of this tragedy. I can’t and I won’t accept it,” she added, as per CTV News. “They were the best of me. I have lost so many parts of me that make me a better person.”

With tears in her eyes, the heartbroken mother continued: “I am so proud to be Chris’ wife. I love him with everything that I have. I am so proud to be Bradley’s mom. He was one of the kindest spirits to ever walk the face of this earth. And I am so proud to be Adelaide’s mom. Her heart was pure as gold. And I am so proud to be Joey’s mom. He was innocent and happy and he had the biggest dreams of all of us.”

“My last words to each of them was that I loved them.”

What had happened brought Loretta to “dark places,” as she had to say goodbye to those she loved the most, to the people who made her life complete.

According to CBC, the reason for the killing was the family’s inheritance. Apparently, Mitchell and Loretta’s father left her most of the assets and cut off Mitchell from it for the most part.

Rest in peace!

What has the world come to? We witness horrible things happening every single day; people suffering, losing their jobs, struggling to make ends meet. The footage below is just another example that we are doing something wrong. If not every single person is provided with conditions for a decent life, then things need to change, and they need to change asap.

A 10 year-old-boy, confused and frightened, approached an off duty Border Patrol agent asking for help. The poor boy was a migrant from Nicaragua, but was left behind by the group he was part of when he fell asleep.

As he got near the officer, the crying boy asked in Spanish: “Can you help me?”

The agent asked him what happened, to what the boy answered that the group dumped him and that he was afraid and concerned that someone might kidnap him.

A CBP spokesperson commented the heartbreaking incident and said: “Scenes like these are all too common, as smugglers continue to abandon children in desolate areas, with zero regard for their well-being.”

The royal brothers are reuniting for statue of late mother Princess Diana which will be unveiled on her birthday

Ever since fuel was added to the fire regarding the relationship between Prince William and Prince Harry after the revelations brought up during The Sussexes’ interview, people from all over Britain, as well as the entire world, are eagerly waiting to see how things are going to be between the brothers.

Meghan and Harry said that there were conversations before Archie’s birth about how dark his skin might be. They didn’t want to reveal any names, but apparently, Harry told Oprah after the interview that it wasn’t Queen Elizabeth or Prince Charles. Asked for a comment during a formal visit, Prince William said the Royals were not a racist family.

— Daily Express (@Daily_Express) April 4, 2021

What shocked many were Harry’s comments about his brother and his father. Explaining that he felt “trapped” in the Royal family but was unaware of that before he met Meghan, Harry said: “My father and my brother, they are trapped. They don’t get to leave, and I have huge compassion for that.”

The former royal added how he was disappointed in his father, Prince Charles, for not taking his calls. Apparently, Harry was also bothered because his family cut him off financially although he and Meghan stepped down from their royal duties and moved to The States.

However, despite the differences and the apparent distance between the brothers, it is their late mother who is smoothing things between them. The Sun reported how William and Harry will meet in order to approve the final design of their late mother’s statue which will be placed in the Sunken Garden, to the east of Kensington Palace, to mark what would be her 60th birthday.

The project started in 2017, and it will finally be ready this year. It is a work of sculptor Ian Rank-Broadley.

We honestly hope that William and Harry will find a way to set their differences aside and be close as they once were.

Later that day, Karen called the woman and told her that she couldn’t be part of her bridal party because the minister believed there were too many people invited already.

Her friends, on the other hand, say she opted to stay in America because she didn’t want to be “the center of attention.”

According to The Sun, Prince Philip spent quite some time helping design the specially built Land Rover in which his coffin would be carried.

At the same time, they have made contracts with Netflix and Spotify and are working with their non-profit organization Archewell.

He still has a full-time job and takes the bus every day relying on a series of memorized schedules, maps, and routes.

Some of the music names we have Cowell to thank for are Westlife, Little Mix, Leona Lewis, Olly Murs, Fifth Harmony, and Il Divo.
