Against all odds – Oldest man with Down syndrome in the world lived for 80 years

By

-

Although much progress has been made throughout the years regarding how people with Down Syndrome are regarded and accepted by the society, many of those having the syndrome believe they are still marginalized.

I guess it will take some time until everyone understands that people with Down Syndrome are not any different than the rest of us.

Reaching 80 years, Kenny Cridge was the oldest person with Down Syndrome. His long and fulfilling life made him famous as his name is written in the Guinness Book of World Records.

From the moment he was born, Kenny made sure everyone knew he was a fighter. The moment he and his twin sister were welcomed into this world back in 1939 the doctors believed he was a stillborn. But then, they realized the tiny human was breathing.

Kenny was given a life expectancy of 12 years, but he beat the odds.

After the death of his mother, Kenny moved in with his nephew before he was taken to a nursing home. There, he lived an impressive life. He was happy and everyone around him loved him. The staff recalls how he would always joke with them and the rest of the residents and they all loved his sense of humor.

The celebration of his 77th birthday reached the national news. It really was a party to remember.

Sadly, Kenny passed away this April at the age of 80 but his life is an inspiration for everyone, especially those who have the same syndrome as him.

Celine Dion Makes James Corden Cry With Laughter On Carpool Karaoke

By

She’s a diva in every sense of the word. Her powerful vocal places her on the list of the most talented singers and performers of all times. And as you are guessing already, this fierce lady we are speaking of is Celine Dion.

Her impact on the music industry is huge and she never ceases to amaze us with a new talent.

She showed the world how great of a dancer she is when she hit the floor on Jimmy Fellon’s show, and this time she’s amazed us with her incredible sense of humor.

Although she resembles a serious person based on her gracefulness and looks, she’s in fact one of the funniest people we’ve ever seen or met.

Maybe her most loyal fans know of this fun side of hers, but honestly, it came as a surprise to me.

After she was James Corden’s guest on his Carpool Karaoke, people realized there was nothing Celine Dion can’t excel at, including being amusingly funny.

She perfectly combined her undeniable music talent and her witty sense of humor.

Dion and Corden start they fun journey at the streets of Las Vegas where the singer resides.

Once in the car, she reminds Corden of how lucky he is to catch her on her ‘only’ day off of the year and we know right away this episode is so worth watching.

When he asks her how she loves Vegas, she explains that she lives where her heart is and belts the famous lyrics “My Heart Will Go On.”

And when asked whether she enjoys the ride Dion answers back singing “I’m so excited, I just can’t hide it.”

Now as the radio is on, the famous hit “It’s All Coming Back To Me Now” starts playing.

Dion’s hilarious facial expression when she hears the song is now on point as she twists her face pretending not to be happy with the choice of music. But once she lets her voice loose once again, we get she’s in fact in love with that piece of music.

As we enjoy the small talks between the guest and the host, things start hooking up when Dion wraps Corden’s arm around her shoulder and gives him a juicy kiss on the lips.

Wow, she was right, he really is one lucky man. It’s not everyday that you get such kiss from a celebrity of that kind.

As Corden states, Dion really has a song for every moment so he comes up with a hilarious challenge and asks her to put some drama in the performance of the most watched kids’ song Baby Shark. Well, he doesn’t have to ask twice as Dion accepts that in an instant and goes for it.

What she comes up with is beyond hilarious. There’s really nothing Dion can’t do when it comes to music and singing.

But, all this is just the start of an incredible driving-around adventure.

Make sure you watch it till the end and get some good laugh.

Teenager helps woman escape the rain not knowing a cop is watching

Tyrea is a teenager with a heart of gold. He always makes sure everyone around him stays safe and sound and his actions of kindness stole the hearts of many once again.

One cold and bitter day, this teen and his mom got to their van where they placed their groceries, and just when they were about to head home, Tyrea jumped off the vehicle. His mom was confused at first, but knowing his son, she knew he did it for a reason.

Moments later, she noticed him helping an elderly lady get to her car, protecting her from the poring rain with his coat.

The lady thanked him and the two said goodbye to each other before Tyrea got back to his mom’s van.

Tyrea’s mom was incredibly proud of what her son had done. Well, she has always taught him to be kind and compassionate, especially when he spots someone in trouble.

However, it turned out that Tyrea’s mom wasn’t the only one who noticed his act of kindness. A police office named Holt witnessed the whole thing so he decided to follow the teen and his mom. Eventually, he pulled their van over.

At that point, Tyrea’s mom was worried sick because she believed the officer misinterpreted her son’s kind act.

As he approached closer, Officer Holt said, “Mam, I’m shocked.”

Her heart started beating very fast because she was convinced she and her son would find themselves in trouble. But then the officer added, “I’m shocked at how selfless your boy is.”

Those words made Tyrea’s mom cry tears of joy. She knew she raised her boy right, but having someone notice that and praise him that way just melted her heart and filled it with happiness.

Officer Holt believed what this teen did was very special especially because not many teens in his place would do the same.

He then took to Facebook and wrote:

“I told his mom that she has done amazing with him and I hope and pray he goes places.”

However, he later realized that he should have done more for the boy so he wrote another post saying, “Kiddo, if you see me on the street again, this guy owes ya a dinner. You ever need anything, I will come running to ya.”

Some of the people who had seen the post and read the story helped officer Holt and Tyrea get in touch.

Soon after, they had dinner at Red Lobster and invited Tyrea’s mom too.

This lovely story proves that even the tiniest act of kindness can go a long way.

It’s because of generous people like Tyrea and Officer Holt that this world is a better place.

We are sure the praise Tyrea got will only encourage him to do more good in the future. Who knows, he may even become a cop like Holt one day.

If you found this story inspiring please share it with your family and friends.

Toddler best friends hug like they haven’t seen each other in years

Many people we meet during our lifetime come and go, but some of them are there to stay. We call the latter our best friends.

However, there comes a time in life when we can’t hang with those special people as much as we would like to as the world of adults is filled with tight schedules and a bunch of commitments. And when we meet them after a long time, it feels like time stood and we are as close as we were before.

If you can think of such person as you read this, you are lucky.

Two toddlers named Maxwell and Finnegan have been best of friends from the moment they met. They simply enjoy each other’s company so much that they never spend more than two or three days apart. But judging from the way they hug when they see each other, you’ll get the impression that they are long lost buddies who meet again after so many years.

The sweet video below shows just how much these two love and miss each other. It’s only been two days since their last playdate, but they feel like it’s been way longer than that. Luckily, Maxwell’s dad Michael Cisneros, caught the lovely moment on a video. “When they are away from each other, they are always asking about one another,” he said. “They go to music class together, Dana Banana (a weekly music event) and they love to dance — both are excellent dancers.”

Imagine how they would feel after seeing this some 30 or 40 years later.

We hope their friendship will last forever and they will be each other’s greatest support in the years to come.

As for now, we just know that they stole our hearts.

After 24 Years Of Work, One Airplane Cleaner Becomes A Pilot

By

Monica Pop

The Nigerian man named Mohammed Abubakar is the person we should all look up to whenever we feel like we are failing in accomplishing our life goals. He’s a perfect example that sticking to a dream and working really had to turn it into reality always pays off.

Some twenty-four years ago, Mohammed started working as a cleaner at Air Azman. What is interesting to note is that he only accepted this job position after he failed to get admission at the university of Kaduna Polytechnic because he missed the deadline.

At that time, this sounded like a big deal and he felt that his dreams were crushed, but he never stopped working on becoming the successful man he is today.

At first, he didn’t earn a lot of money and he was determined to change that, so he soon became a part of the ground staff and learned a lot about the aviation industry.

Over time, Mohammed was offered to become a member of the cabin crew. At this point, his salary was way higher than before, but he knew he couldn’t stop there as he was aware only the sky was the limit.

His determination brought new results as he moved to Aero Contractors where he worked as a flight attendant. Now, he earned a lot of money.

Mohammed went even further and saved the money in order to become a pilot.

Starting as a cleaner and ending up working as a pilot took a lot of years of hard work, but Mohammed never though of giving up.

As it turns out, the saying “work hard in silence and let your success make the noise” is true for some people.

Autistic child is throwing tantrum on flight – Crew puts a stop to it

By

Being a parent to an autistic child can be an overwhelming experience. These parents, however, always do everything in their power to provide their kids with the best life they can have considering their condition.

A mom named Lori Gabriel boarded a flight on United Airlines with her five-year old autistic boy recently.

She was looking forward to the trip, but she was also aware that little Braysen could behave in a manner that other passengers may find inconvenient.

Once on the plane, they headed to their assigned seats, but Braysen refused to sit down. Gabriel tried to explain to him that he had to take his seat, but he simply wouldn’t listen.

Moments later, he started screaming uncontrollably.

Gabriel worried the two might be asked to leave the plane before it takes off as Brayson started running up to first-class.

He wanted to sit on the floor there and his mom couldn’t convince him that it simply wasn’t allowed as he had to have a seat-belt on during take off.

Gabriel felt bad as she knew the rest of the passenger found her son’s tantrum annoying although they said they didn’t mind him running around.

Then, as Braysen started playing with one of the passenger’s armrest, the flight attendant approached. Gabriel was worried sick at this point because she expected from her to tell her to calm the child down or leave the plane.

But what the flight attendant had to say changed everything and put this mom at ease.

Gabriel was told that Braysen could sit anywhere he wanted whenever the seat-belt sign was off.

Hearing this, Braysen agreed to take his seat during the take-off.

But the moment he noticed the sign was off, he quickly ran to the first class area and sat on the floor.

The plane staff was so understanding that they even gave Braysen a blanket so that he didn’t feel uncomfortable on the floor.

Once he got what he wanted, Braysen behaved throughout the whole time. He just sat there quietly and didn’t bother anyone.

And then, just before they reached their final destination, one of the passengers got closer to Gabriel and gave her a piece of paper with something written on it.

When she took it in her hand, Gabriel didn’t know what to expect, but once she read it, her heart melted. It said, “I commend you for your strength. Do not EVER let anyone make you feel as though you are an inconvenience or a burden.”

It ended saying that Braysen was a blessing!

Gabriel knew that perfectly but maybe she needed someone to remind her of that.

This dedicated and loving mom felt the need to thank everyone who treated her son with so much compassion so she posted the note on Facebook and expressed the gratitude to the company, the flight attendant, the woman who handed her that note, and all the passengers.

People who got to see the post and read the note were deeply touched. Many said that it was because of people like those on that flight that the world is a better place.

The story of Braysen and his brave mother is just a proof that we should always be kind to everyone because we never really know what people are going through.

A little love and support won’t cost us anything, but it can mean the world to someone.

Adult Version Of The Little Tikes Toy Car Is On The Roads

By

When we look back, we realize that our childhood was the best time of our life. We were careless and free of the problems that the adult world brings. And yes, we had our toys that we played with all day and night.

Now when I think about it, I would definitely want to go back to those happy times.

Two brothers named Geoff and John Bitmead had this same wish, but as we all know things don’t work that way, so they used their craft skills and creativity to bring a valuable part of their younger days into the present.

As you are all guessing already, they created a real life version of the famous red and yellow Little Tike toy car.

I know that reading this made you a bit jealous, am I right?

Building this unique car took them around 1,000 hours and more than £4,000 (nearly $5,000), but it was definitely worth it.

The “Big Tike,” as they call their piece of work, is road legal as it has an engine, headlights and indicators. More or less, what every normal car has.

Not only they had fun building it and driving it, but it also landed them a Guinness World Record for the largest Cozy Coupe in the entire world.

Although they love it a lot, and it made them famous, they still decided to sell it. So, around four years ago, “Big Tike” was offered on e-Bay and was sold for £21,500 (around $33,000 at the time).

I would really want to have such fun looking car that would make me feel like I’m a kid again.

What do you think of it? Would you drive it around? Share your thoughts with us in the comments section below.

Homeless father unable to find shelter that takes men with children

By

Life is a never-ending circle of ups and downs and we never really know when a desperate situation will come across our way.

Joseph Cantu from Southeast Michigan had a nice life with his wife and his five children, but things turned for the worst when the mother of his kids left them.

Sadly, that meant he could no longer pay for the house and he and his kids became homeless.

Ever since, he struggles to provide a safe shelter for his family, but it’s way harder that it looks.

“There’s been several nights where we stayed inside this van. We pull inside a rest area sometimes to sleep,” he told FOX 2. “And then there’s several nights that some people will donate money here and there so we can sleep in a motel room.”

And as if the situation this struggling father found himself in wasn’t stressful and difficult enough, Joseph also lost his job because he couldn’t provide childcare for three of his children who still don’t attend school.

At the time being, he’s waiting to be given place in a shelter, but as it turns out, the shelters in the area don’t take in single fathers with children.

“I never thought this would happen to myself anyway but what bothers me the most is that they [his kids] have to endure it as well, and luckily they’re small enough they probably won’t remember it,” he said.

Although Joseph qualified for child care through the Michigan Department of Human Services, he is till in urgent need of a stable job that would help him provide for his little ones.

People who know him and are aware of the tough times he’s forced to go through have started a GoFundMe page.

We are furious and overwhelmed by the fact that no shelter is willing to open their doors for a single father with that many children who is struggling to make ends meet.

We hope Joseph would be able to find a job very soon and he and his kids would have a decent life.

Hidden camera footage shows a caretaker assaulting an 84-year-old elderly granny

The world we live in is a cruel one. How often does it happen that you stumble upon a story of animals being abused and neglected, or elderly people being assaulted at the assisted living facilities where they spend the last years of their life? Unfortunately, the answer most of you would give, is way too often.

One may say that children are those who should take care of their parents when they reach certain age, but that’s not always possible.

They, however, believe that their older family members would be given the care and the support they deserve, but sadly, that’s not always the case.

This is just another heartbreaking story of an elderly woman being treated with disrespect at the nursing home where she lives.

The following video shows a caretaker cruelly hitting and kicking and 84-year-old woman who has difficulties moving around because of her deteriorated health condition and her age.

The case of abuse was discovered after the family of the lady noticed she had bruises all over her body. When they asked for an explanation, the staff told them how she had fallen off a chair and hurt herself. The family didn’t buy the story and decided to install a hidden camera in the room.

The discovery chilled their blood and broke their hearts. They simply couldn’t believe how someone could be so cruel.

The video was later posted online so that more people become aware of the hidden dangers they put their elderly in when they place them in nursing homes.

You can take a look at the shocking scenes in the video below.

Today, 18 years after the terrorist attacks that made all the American citizens breath as one soul, we remember the sacrifice of those who lost their lives in the attempt to save others’; the nation’s pride and joy, the first responders.

On that disastrous 9/11 the whole nation stood together as feelings of sadness and grief filled the morning air. And as confused people were running for their life, the firefighters were bravely entering the burning buildings trying to save what could be saved.

The eyes of the whole planet were on America. People were praying for the victims and their families and everyone was aware that day would be marked as one of the saddest in the history of the United Nations.

To honor the brave first responders and to pay tribute to all the innocent lives lost during the tragedy, a person made a touching video that triggers tears to roll down your face. Despite the horror and the panic seen in the eyes of the onlookers, it also shows cops and firemen entering the burning buildings moments before they collapsed.

Touching, indeed.

Sadly, seven people, among which three police officers, were killed before the police shot the gunman dead in front of a movie theater.

It was later reported that he was mentally distressed and was fired from his job just hours before he went on the killing spree.

Luckily, little Anderson survived the attack. Ector County Sheriff Mike Griffis said in a statement that she was now home and recovering.

Anderson’s parents, Kelby and Garret Davis, told CBS News they are happy and relieved their girl is doing fine, but they are at the same time sad for the families of those who lost their loved ones in the attack. “We hurt so badly for the families whose loved ones didn’t survive this tragedy.

“We are thankful for our beautiful baby girl and look forward to reuniting her at home with her twin brother soon.”

Way to go Anderson, you are one of the bravest little children we’ve ever heard of.

5-year-old boy riddled with cancer ‘from his nose to his knees’ is now all clear

By

Monica Pop

Mom Alice Phillips and dad Ricky Wetherley describe their 5-year-old son as the most vibrant young child out there. Freddie loves what most his peers do and that’s running around, hanging out with his friends, and going on fairground rides.

So, when this perfectly healthy boy started complaining of pain in his legs, his parents believed it was because he was very active. One day, however, after he refused going on the fairground rides because as he said he’s legs were sore, that raised the red flag. Something was really wrong and Alice and Rick knew Freddie had to visit a doctor.

Sadly, the family got the most devastating news. Little Freddie had an aggressive form of cancer known as neuroblastoma. This rare form of the life-threatening disease affects around 100 children in the UK annually.

The family’s hearts broke into million pieces when the initial scans showed that the illness had affected all his body. They recall the doctors’ words who said that the cancer spread “from his nose to his knees.”

The odds of survival weren’t in Freddy’s favor. But neither this little fighter, nor his loving parents ever thought of giving up. The boy had gone through various treatments and he’s now cancer free.

“He has done wonderfully well and made an amazing recovery and we are very proud of him,” his parents told Daily Mail.

The treatments Freddy had to go through were long and painful, but at the end, it was all worth it.

After he was transferred to Great Ormond Street hospital, he immediately started a 70-day cycle of chemotherapy. Later, at Christmas, he had undergone a stem-cell transplant, and in February of this year, he had his stomach tumor removed.

“He was sick and exhausted through the treatment, but he has handled everything really well,” Alice explained.

She added that talking to his two year old sister named Freya on Facetime helped Freddy a lot. She was his support and he was looking forward to their talks every single day.

Now, sweet Freddy can get back to what he loved doing the most. He’s back to school and doesn’t miss a football match with his friends.

“When we first saw that body scan, we didn’t think there was much hope,” Alice continued.

“He really is our little miracle.”

We are extremely happy for this brave boy and his family who never gave up and never lost hope. Please share this story in support of Freddy.

BF takes pictures with engagement ring in front of his GF without her noticing (22 pics)

When a guy named Edi Okoro started dating his girlfriend Cally Read, he knew he wanted to spend the eternity with her. Well, he also knew he was ready to pop the question so he bought a mesmerizing engagement ring. But, it looked like asking her to marry him wasn’t an easy task to do as he wanted it to be something really special. So, he decided to wait for the perfect moment. Along the way, that waiting turned into an interesting game of taking pictures of Cally and the ring without her ever noticing that.

And yes, he’s willing to share those pictures with all of us. Amazing, isn’t it?

Sharing his cute story with Bored Panda, Edi said: “We met at athletics. We both competed at a very high level and traveled to competitions together. Both also ran for Birchfield Harriers AC.”

“I knew she was the one after I realized our conversations didn’t dry up and we bounced off each other.”

He also said that Cally was really close at noticing the ring at few occasions, but that never happened.

Edi shot a few videos too.

If you wonder when and why people started proposing with diamond rings, here’s the story. Back in 1477 Archduke Maximilian of Austria proposed to Mary of Burgundy with stones shaped in the form of M. But it wasn’t until the 19th century when diamonds were discovered in South Africa that ordinary people started saving for such rings to pop the question.

The trend became even more popular when the company DeBeers launched the ad that said, “A diamond if forever.”

Edi shared some great news with those following his story telling that he finally asked his loved one to marry him.

Her response was a resounding YES!

“This engagement turned out more than what I originally intended it to be,” Edi concluded. “I’m just happy that I don’t have to walk around with [the ring] anymore and keep it a secret!”

People from all over the country took their time to congratulate the couple.

Mom films her twins in bed – they suddenly start ‘talking’ to each other

The bond created between siblings is one of the strongest, but it looks like twins are connected to even deeper level. Growing up around a brother or a sister means having a best friend for life and someone you can always turn to when things get tough.

The parents of twin babies Grayson and Griffin shared a heartwarming video of their two bundles of joy ‘talking’ to each other and it’s way too cute to handle. Although the boys are way too young to be able to speak, they still found a way to communicate to one another, and it seems the two understand each other just perfectly as they can’t stop laughing at what they have to say.

We hope their connection will only grow stronger as they grow up.

You can see them speaking in the video below.

Make sure you share it with your friends and make their day.

4-year-old boy survives hit-and-run after being dragged down street by a truck

With the beauty of becoming a parent comes the constant worry for the well-being of the little ones.

Recently, one mom named Jennifer Moore experienced what every mom and dad out there fears of. Her 4-year-old child didn’t get off the bus at the bus stop where she was waiting for him.

This mom immediately knew something was wrong. She tried to keep calm and approached the bus driver who told her to look for he boy at the last stop the bus had made.

There, she came across her child lying in the middle of the road with concerned and terrified passersby gathered around him.

“When I turned the corner, my son was laying in the middle of the road with a group of people around him because a truck hit him and took off,” Jennifer said.

The truck driver stuck Joseph and dragged him down the road after which he fled the scene without even checking whether the boy was alive or not.

— WFLA NEWS (@WFLA) August 26, 2019

Jennifer just can’t understand how someone can be so cruel.

Speaking of the person who hurt her child and left him there in the middle of the road, Jennifer said: “They’re a coward, they’re an animal. They have no regards for the human race, period.”

Authorities are doing their best to solve the case and track the truck driver down, but they only have little information on who he might be. Witnesses said he was driving a blue Chevy S-10, and currently, that’s all they know.

Joseph was rushed at the nearest hospital after the accident took place and he ended up with a broken femur and severe road rash, but thankfully, he recovers pretty well.

The boy clearly remembers what happened on that day, saying how he got off at the wrong bus stop and tried to cross the road. He looked left and right and as there were no vehicles, he started walking. But then, out of the blue, the pick-up that was speeding struck him.

“He saw a blue truck coming and so he tried to run the rest of the way across the street. He said, ‘Mommy, it didn’t slow down and it knocked me over and dragged me on the ground and then I fell asleep,” Jennifer said.

We wish little Joseph well and we hope the person responsible would be soon brought to justice.

3-year-old Vivian Fitzenrider had gone missing around 5:30 p.m. on Tuesday. Her parents believed their red-headed girl was in the house, but it wasn’t until 30 minutes later that they realized she was actually missing.

They believe she left the place all by herself and after they failed tracking her down, the Mountain Grove Fire Department got involved into the search that lasted less than 24 hours when the lifeless body of the girl was found in a pond 200 yards from her Missouri home.

The sad news came on Wednesday, at around 7 a.m, and it left the family and the whole community heartbroken. The 200 volunteers that joined in the search felt like they failed.

Mountain Grove Fire Department took to Facebook to inform people of the tragedy. They posted with heavy hearts and expressed their condolences.

Currently, the Missouri Highway Patrol, Mountain Grove Police Department, and the Wright County Sheriff’s Office are investigating the case, though they believe Vivian’s death was an accident.

Our thoughts and prayers are with Vivian’s family. We hope no other parents would ever have to go through such grief and loss ever again.

3-year-old boy is hospitalized after woman stabs him in the face in a random street attack

A gruesome footage of a woman stabbing a 3-year-old boy in the face has left the whole world speechless. The incident took place on the streets of Tbilisi Georgia, but the video has gone viral in a matter of days and it’s now all over the social media.

The attacker was identified as a 51-year-old woman. Her family and relatives describe her as a nice person and they can’t believe what she did, nor they know why she did it.

The poor boy who was the victim of this random attack simply found himself in the wrong place at the wrong time.

Unfortunately, the cuts across his nose and cheek were very deep and the boy had to be hospitalized.

The CCTV footage that was captured by a nearby pharmacy shows the woman walking past the victim and his family and taking the knife out very suddenly. It all happened so quickly that there wasn’t time for the parents to react in time to take the boy away. The crazy woman even tried to finish what she started as she tried to approach the scared boy again, but this time, the parents managed to stop her.

Onlookers were left in a complete shock as they couldn’t believe what had just happened in front of their eyes.

The attacker then run away but the police tracked her down the following day. She now faces up to ten years in prison if convicted.

The family of the victim claims they have never seen that woman before and just cant’t believe a complete stranger could do such horrific thing to such a young boy.

The boy underwent a surgery but will stay in the hospital until he feels better.

We pray for your full recovery brave boy!

6-year-old throws new pencil-case in the trash, so mom teaches her a lesson

By

Monica Pop

-

Being a parent is challenging. And as kids grow old, those challenges only get tougher and tougher. No matter how much their moms and dads try to satisfy their needs, kids can be really ungrateful at times. And this type of behavior they show is not really a result of bad parenting, but it’s a period they simply go through.

A mom from Florida was looking forward to the start of the new school year and was over the moon when she finally managed to find that LOL pencil-case her little one wanted so badly. Once home, she handed it to her six-year-old daughter and expected a huge hug in return. But what she got in response, left this mother overwhelmed. Instead of saying ‘thank you,’ the girl named Presleigh did the unimaginable. She took the pencil-case and threw it in the garbage.

Mom Haley knew she taught her little one better than that, and she was determined to teach her a lesson she would never forget.

Sharing the story on Facebook, Haley wrote: “She stared at it and threw it in the trash and slammed the bedroom door. She yelled “that’s stupid, everyone in my class has that … I don’t want it anymore!”

This was the first time for Presleigh to show such behavior as Haley has always taught her to be humble and grateful for the things she gets in life.

The mom said: “I thought I had always taught her to be grateful [and] know how lucky she was but apparently sis needed a small wake up call.”

Now, as that cool accessory that everyone was crazy about wasn’t good enough for Presleigh, Haley decided to replace it with something less cooler; a zip-lock plastic bag that she could use to keep her pencils in while at school.

Seeing her new ‘pencil-case’ made the girl realize she wanted the LOL one, but it was already too late.

“I explained to her she’s not entitled to anything special and she is taking for granted how lucky she is… I will personally deliver the nice box to a child that could benefit from it,”Haley explained.

“Maybe I over react sometimes but I would’ve done anything to have all the things she does as a child. I truly believe changing your perception [and] just being grateful can turn around any situation in life.”

Parents have to take drastic measures from time to time in order to teach their children the core values they should live by.

And we are perfectly aware the little ones believe they are being punished, but over time, they realize that everything their parents do is for their own good.

Vegan Who Sued Neighbors over Barbecue Smell Loses Court Appeal

A vegan woman from Perth, Australia, named Cilla Carden took legal action against her meat eating neighbors for making barbecue in their back yard. According to Carden, her stay at her yard became unbearable because of the smell of grilled meat and cigarettes and that made her took drastic measures. She as well complained of the neighbors’ kids running and playing outside. Speaking to 9News, she said, “It’s been devastating, it’s been turmoil, it’s been unrest, I haven’t been able to sleep.”

Carden’s case, however, wasn’t convincing and was thrown by the State Administrative Tribunal. One of her neighbors who wanted to stay anonymous says her demands ‘were proven to be not reasonable and and indeed were to the detriment of the other owners’ ability to enjoy their lots in a reasonable and acceptable manner.’

But Carden was determined to stop at nothing to regain her piece and quiet. Not only she sued them again, but this time she also asked from the nearby families to dim their patio lighting, keep their pets quiet, and stop putting many plants in the common garden.

The appeal she submitted on March 29 of this years was rejected on July 29 by Chief Justice Peter Quinlan. He said that the 400 pages of evidence were ‘well in excess of anything that might be thought to be proportionate to the issues’.

According to The tribunal, letting children play in the patio ‘didn’t constitute reasonably a nuisance.’

Now, even one of the families forbade their kids from playing basketball and moved their barbecue, Carden is still not happy and is planning on taking additional legal action.

Michael Bublé, one of our favorite musicians, has released a new song and a video that have gone viral and have parents all over the world sobbing. The touching piece of music speaks of the love parents have for their little ones and how fast they grow up and move on with their own life.

“Forever Now” triggers strong emotions. Parents’ whose kids go back to school or off to college relate to the lyrics and to the visual representation of what it really feels like to see their children become independent individuals.

The hit that was uploaded on YouTube in March of this year is a reminder that we should spend as much time with our kids as possible because time flies really fast and we may miss some of the best moments we can have with them without even being aware of it.

The video shows how a child’s room changes over the years. From the cute nursery filled with teddy bears and a bunch of toys, to a teenager’s nest.

The lyrics go like this:

“I just met you, seems like yesterday. You opened up your eyes and I recognized your face. You know that you’re the one that we’ve been waiting for; we’re going to keep you safe.”

We challenge you to watch it until the very end without sobbing.

This really makes you think of the ‘limited’ time you get to spend with your children. So, make sure you grab every opportunity to be by their side.

“It wasn’t so long ago, we walked together and you held my hand, and now you’re getting too big to want to.”

Touching, indeed, isn’t it?

12-year-old comes to rescue of a toddler trapped in a hot car

According to statistics, on average, 38 children younger than 15 die each year of heatstroke after being locked and trapped in hot vehicles. Although these numbers are concerning and devastating, we still hear of moms and dads who somehow happen to forget their little ones in the car during hot summer days when the temperatures rise and the heat index goes very high.

Most times, the reason why kids are left alone in hot vehicles is because the parents aren’t even aware of the dangers and believe the children are perfectly safe while waiting for their moms and dads to run errands and go shopping. But, sometimes it takes a little for a tragedy to struck.

A few days ago, another case of a toddler trapped in a car during a hot day was reported. Luckily, it didn’t turn out fatal all thanks to a 12-year-old boy who stopped a tragedy from taking place.

Namely, Ben Theriot and his mom were getting to their car at a store’s parking lot when they heard strange cries coming from a parked vehicle. They both knew something was wrong and someone was in trouble so they decided to see where those noises were coming from.

The sight left them pretty concerned. A two-year-old boy was sitting inside one of the cars all alone and they could say he was terrified. His mom left him there while she was shopping inside the store.

Luckily, Ben didn’t panic. The only thing on his mind was to get the crying boy out.

He grabbed a ratchet strap and started pounding on the car’s windshield as hard as he could.

Breaking that glass, however, was harder than Ben though. But, he just knew he had to do its best to crack it. The quick-thinking boy then got on top of the car and started hitting the windshield with his feet until it broke through.

As he finally managed to open the doors and get the boy out of the car, Ben’s mother called the police who arrived at the scene in a matter of minutes.

Everyone felt relieved when they realized the two-year-old was fine. But if it wasn’t for Ben and his mom, things could have turned out for the worse.

The police tracked the mom down and questioned her regarding the incident.

The mother said how she believed she didn’t actually leave her child unattended as she though there was another adult there with him. But with the heat index reaching 116 degrees that day, there really was no space for ‘thinking.’ She had to be sure the boy wasn’t in any sort of danger before heading to that store.

As a result of her negligence, she was fined with $250 under Oklahoma’s “Forget Me Not” law of 2008. The law clearly states it’s forbidden for young children and vulnerable adults to be left in vehicles unattended.

The boy was allowed to go home with his mother but social services would further investigate whether that was a one time incident and would make sure the mother keeps closer eye on her kid. We hope she learned her lesson!

You can take a look at the whole story in the video below.

Deaf mom left in tears after being denied service at a Burger King drive-thru

Living with an impairment can be challenging. Unfortunately, people nowadays are not that considerate towards those who cope with certain disability. A woman named Rachel Hollis, who is hearing-impaired, experienced humans’ lack of empathy first hand when she tried to get some food at a Burger King drive-thru in Oklahoma.

Rachel typed her order out on her phone and handed it to the employee. But instead of getting what she ordered, she was given a piece of paper with something written on it.

At that moment, she felt so humiliated that she could barely hold her tears back.

The employee was looking at her with aversion and instead of serving her, he slammed the window and started yelling.

Rachel somehow knew things would turn for the worst so she hit the record button on her phone.

Handling her the note that said, “I can’t do a full order at the window. It’s too busy,” that rude server expected from Rachel to just leave. But as she stayed where she was, he told her to come inside and then called the police.

Completely unaware of what she did wrong, this mother was left overwhelmed.

She didn’t want to show any weakness in front of that rude person so she did her best not to cry, but once she left the place, she just couldn’t stop her tears from rolling down her face.

“I was very upset, I was crying, I was tired. I’m tired of discrimination,” she explained. “I’ve never experienced anything like that, for someone to call the police. That’s crazy, it just doesn’t seem right,” she told KFOR.

Later, after the public learned of the incident, Burger King said in a statement for KFOR that they fired the employee.

“All guests should be treated with respect and provided with a high level of service at our restaurants. The restaurant owner has reached out to the guest and her family to apologize, the employee was terminated and all employees at the location will undergo additional sensitivity training to ensure our customers always feel welcomed.”

We can never understand those people who enjoy hurting and humiliating others. We are glad that rude employee got sacked, because that’s exactly what he deserved.

Little boy holds hand of a crying classmate

First day of school can be either a cheerful or a scary experience. Being surrounded by so many new, unfamiliar faces can cause distress at young children who are starting a new chapter of their life. But it’s especially challenging for kids with autism who are not as outgoing as the rest of their peers.

Connor Crites is an 8-year-old boy from Kansas who found it hard to blend with his schoolmates on his first day of school. He’s now a student in the second grade of Minneha Elementary School in Wichita, Kansas. Starting the new year, Connor couldn’t help by feel terrified of the new surrounding, so instead of running around in excitement, he moved into a quiet corner and began to cry.

And as the rest of the students didn’t even notice the boy in distress because they were pretty much busy minding their own business, one very special boy took a notice of Connor and stepped in.

Thinking Connor might be in need of a friend, Christian took his hand and the two entered the school building together.

Seeing such a young boy showing compassion for a peer he’s never met before was the cutest thing ever. Luckily, Christian’s mom, Courtney Moore, saw what her son did and took a picture of the boys holding hands.

“I saw him on the ground with Connor as Connor was crying in the corner and he was consoling him. He grabs his hand and walks him to the front door.

We waited until the bell rang and he walked him inside of the school. The rest is history. They have an inseparable bond,” Moore told KAKE-TV.

After she shared the cute photo on the social media, lots of people praised Christian for the kindness he showed to Connor. Among those people was Connor’s mother herself.

“I fear every day that someone is going to laugh at him because he doesn’t speak correctly, or laugh at him because he doesn’t sit still or because he jumps up and down and flaps his hands,” Crites told to KAKE-TV.

It’s truly amazing and inspiring to know that there are young kids like Christian who know how to help someone in need.

It’s true when they say that even a single act of kindness can go a long way.

Remains of missing fallen soldier from Korean War returned home, airline’s response is tear-jerking

The remains of a soldier who took part in the Korean War have been found 63 years after he’d gone missing. The sacrifice he made for this country has been greeted by the Honor Guard of the Delta Air Lines. They gathered at the Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport in Atlanta, Georgia and paid tribute to the fallen soldier.

In another, smaller casket, were bone fragments of another soldier whose body was already buried. Both caskets were covered in U.S Flags.

The video has touched many Americans who are aware of the sacrifice soldiers do for the well-being of our land and its people.

When you enjoy the comfort of your home during holidays and family gatherings, think of those people in the military who don’t get to see their loved ones in months, or even years. And they do all that so that ordinary citizens like you and I could sleep peacefully at night.

The heartbreaking scene shows members of the Delta Honor Guard receiving the caskets, lowering the flags, and reading a prayer for those who lost their life during the war.

After she was James Corden’s guest on his Carpool Karaoke, people realized there was nothing Celine Dion can’t excel at, including being amusingly funny.

As we enjoy the small talks between the guest and the host, things start hooking up when Dion wraps Corden’s arm around her shoulder and gives him a juicy kiss on the lips.

Moments later, he started screaming uncontrollably.

Gabriel felt bad as she knew the rest of the passenger found her son’s tantrum annoying although they said they didn’t mind him running around.

But what the flight attendant had to say changed everything and put this mom at ease.

Hearing this, Braysen agreed to take his seat during the take-off.

The plane staff was so understanding that they even gave Braysen a blanket so that he didn’t feel uncomfortable on the floor.

This dedicated and loving mom felt the need to thank everyone who treated her son with so much compassion so she posted the note on Facebook and expressed the gratitude to the company, the flight attendant, the woman who handed her that note, and all the passengers.

Life is a never-ending circle of ups and downs and we never really know when a desperate situation will come across our way.

Ever since, he struggles to provide a safe shelter for his family, but it’s way harder that it looks.

She sustained injuries to her chest and bottom lip when a shrapnel hit her in the face.

Sadly, seven people, among which three police officers, were killed before the police shot the gunman dead in front of a movie theater.

The odds of survival weren’t in Freddy’s favor. But neither this little fighter, nor his loving parents ever thought of giving up. The boy had gone through various treatments and he’s now cancer free.

Now, sweet Freddy can get back to what he loved doing the most. He’s back to school and doesn’t miss a football match with his friends.

Edi shot a few videos too.

Edi shared some great news with those following his story telling that he finally asked his loved one to marry him.

Her response was a resounding YES!

People from all over the country took their time to congratulate the couple.

Recently, one mom named Jennifer Moore experienced what every mom and dad out there fears of. Her 4-year-old child didn’t get off the bus at the bus stop where she was waiting for him.

The truck driver stuck Joseph and dragged him down the road after which he fled the scene without even checking whether the boy was alive or not.

Joseph was rushed at the nearest hospital after the accident took place and he ended up with a broken femur and severe road rash, but thankfully, he recovers pretty well.

Mom Haley knew she taught her little one better than that, and she was determined to teach her a lesson she would never forget.

Now, as that cool accessory that everyone was crazy about wasn’t good enough for Presleigh, Haley decided to replace it with something less cooler; a zip-lock plastic bag that she could use to keep her pencils in while at school.
