Hollywood star Robert Redford speaks of his mother and reveals his biggest regret

By

-

Robert Redford’s career of over 60 years isn’t due to his incredible acting skills and diversity of screen characterizations only, but his looks and his heart of gold as well.

To remain one of the best in the industry for so many years isn’t something many actors can be proud of, but for Redford, each and every film and project has been a huge success.

Besides being best known for roles in acclaimed films like ‘The Sting’ and ‘The Way We Were,’ Redford is also a director, entrepreneur, and producer. He’s the founder of the Sundance Institute and Film Festival in Utah. Back in 2014, Time Magazine placed him on the list Time 100, naming him one of the “Most Influential People in the World.”

Redford has always had a very special bond with his mother. She was someone he could always turn to and someone who believed in him unconditionally. During the Sundance Film Festival Utah Women’s Leadership Celebration in 2018, he said, “The one person who stood behind me was my mother,” and he meant that, because Martha Hart was the perfect mother.

“Why do I feel this strong connection to women?” he then asked. “I think it probably has to do with my mom.”

Redford would always describe her as an adventurous and a ‘glass-half full’ person. Sadly, she passed away when Redford was 18 years old, and he has been missing her ever since because she was that one special person in his life who always made it complete.

“She believed that all things considered, she just had faith that I had something in me that was going to turn out OK,” he told Womans World.

Redford feels extremely sorry she didn’t live to see his worldwide success as an actor, director, and mostly as a person committed to environmental causes.

“She had a hemorrhage tied to a blood disorder she got after losing twin girls at birth 10 years after I was born.” But she wanted a big family badly and got pregnant again despite being told that another pregnancy could be life-threatening.

With so many accomplishments under his belt, one would say that Redford’s life is perfect, which isn’t far from the truth to be honest. He, however, like most living beings has his regrets, one of which is that he never got to say “thank you” to his mom.

“I took [her] for granted because that’s the way kids were at that age,” Redford told Womans World. “My regret is that she passed away before I could thank her.”

After her death, Robert found comfort in marrying Lola Van Wagenen in 1958. At the time, he was just 22 years old and she was still a teenager. The two were married for 27 years and had four children together. Redford described the marriage as “life saving union” that helped him with his grief. Even today, the two remain very good friends despite he married another woman, Sibylle Szaggars, in 2009.

Robert is 83 today and still active in the film industry. Some of his latest projects are Avengers: Endgame where he appears as both actor and director, and Omniboat: A Fast Boat Fantasia where he voiced the part of Lokia the Dolphin Monster.

Robert Redford is an example of what all a celebrity should be. Charming, talented, versatile, and caring.

Mom-to-be delivers the news of being pregnant to her husband with the help of the police

Moms-to-be seem to be very creative when it comes to delivering the news of their pregnancies to their loved ones and their families. We do understand the urge to give this aspect of the pregnancy that much attention, because at the end of the day, it’s a moment to cherish.

Nikki, a mom-to-be from Texas, decided to give her husband the surprise of his life, but in a way that will make you go ‘aww.”

Namely, she asked from a friend from the Police Department to take part in the prank she was about to pull on her hubby.

As the two were driving, the officer signed them to stop. Jarred, Nikki’s husband got worried because he had no idea why he was pulled over. However, the fact that he was an acquaintance with the officer came as a relief, but that didn’t mean he was going to be let off the hook if he did something wrong.

The officer approached the vehicle and greeted Jarred, saying, “How’s it goin’? I haven’t seen you in forever, man.”

Jarred greeted him back and then asked if there’s was something wrong, to what the officer said, “I gotta be honest. The reason why I stopped you is you have a child in the car with no child seat,” he said, pointing to an empty back seat.”

Jarred was now more confused than ever. “But I don’t have a child,” he said while looking at the officer with a puzzled look.

The officer than asked him if he was sure about it while Nikki was holding the pregnancy test in her hand. Jarred was so busy trying to convince the officer that it was all a mistake that he didn’t notice what his wife was showing to him.

“We do have a child in the car with no car seat!” Nikky said while giggling. “I think that means you’re a daddy, buddy,” the officer added.

Finally, this father-to-be realized what was going on. This truly was the best surprise ever.

But, it wasn’t over yet. The officer’s partner then handed Jarred a gift. There was a teddy bear inside with the message “Dad, see you on your birthday.” Yes, Nikki’s due date was her hubby’s birthday.

Nikki decided to involve their officer friend Todd because he was in fact an important part of their life. The thing is that Jarred had been admitted to hospital in the last six months for panic and anxiety attacks and Todd was there to help.

“I actually met the officers in the video during a very traumatic panic episode in November 2016 and ever since he’s become a great advocate for my family and I,” Jarred said.

This video is beyond adorable. We wish the future parents only the best. Take a look at the surprise below.

It’s no secret that we all love watching Jason Bateman on the screen. He’s charming, talented, and looks like a modest guy, despite being a celebrity and very successful at what he’s doing.

Among the rest, Bateman has won a Golden Globe Award for Best Actor- Television Series, for his impeccable performance as Michael Bluth on the television sitcom Arrested Development, and Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Directing for a Drama Series for Reparations.

However, many may not know that this actor’s career started when he was very young and played the role of James Cooper, an orphan boy adopted by the Ingalls family in Little House on the Prairie.

These iconic series that we all eagerly waited was a breakthrough for Bateman. Ever since, his acting career, and later his career as a director, has taken off. Today, he’s one of the most famous actors.

Bateman has been married to actress Amanda Anka since 2001 and they have two children.

During his teenage years, Bateman played in many shows, Silver Spoons, The Hogan Family and Teen Wolf Too.

Throughout his rich career, Bateman moved from playing mostly in sitcoms and comedies, to more serious works such as that of Ozark and The Outsider. Many agree that his shift from one genre to another was seamless and smooth, and that showed just once again how great Bateman truly is.

7-year-old is left with a hole in his skull after a neighbor attacks him by hurling rocks at him

By

Monica Pop

What was supposed to be a fun day at his friend’s house turned into a tragedy for 7-year-old Gavin Ludwick and his family.

The sweet boy was getting back home when he got viciously attacked by one of his neighbors, a man named Daniel Poulsen, 32, from Desert Hot Springs, California. Out of the blue, Poulsen started throwing rocks at Gavin thus hurt his head after which the boy fell on the ground and was left lying there until another neighbor noticed him. Alturo Delgardo rushed Gavin to the hospital where doctors discovered a hole in his head.

They had no idea what the outcome of the attack would be but knew things didn’t look good for the sweet and innocent boy who was attacked for no reason.

When the boy’s mother, Wendy, learned that her son was at the hospital and was told of the severity of the injuries, her first thought was that he was hit by a car. However, after she discovered what truly happened, she couldn’t believe her ears. Why would someone the family barely knew would do such a horrific thing?

“When I first saw him I thought he had been hit by a car,” Wendy told Sun Online. “I was in shock, I thought ‘why have they not stopped.’ I haven’t been able to bring myself to watch the footage. When I found out about it I was shocked and mad.”

NBC Palm Spring reported that the criminal complaint filed by the prosecutors said “the boy was left comatose due to brain injury or to suffer paralysis of a permanent nature.”

“I couldn’t believe someone would do this to such a sweet little boy, he [Poulsen] doesn’t even know Gavin, they have never had any interaction,” Wendy said. “He is lucky to be alive. He could have easily killed him.”

Gavin was first taken to Desert Regional Medical Centre but was later transferred to Loma Linda University Medical Centre. The boy had undergone a surgery, but his road to recovery would be a long one. Doctors believe it would take at least three months until the swelling of his skull decreases before they perform additional surgeries.

“He can’t talk yet but he can make babbling sounds. He can sit up now but is still very weak,” Wendy said. “It’s very upsetting, sometimes I just fall apart when they are doing procedures on him and I have to walk away. I sat with him and told him, ‘momma is not going to leave you, momma is here.’ I don’t think he will remember anything that happened and I hope he doesn’t.”

After this sad story spread, many people prayed for sweet Gavin. A GoFundMe Page has been set up. It says, “He’s amazing, loving and kind momma, Wendy Ludwick, just lost her husband to cancer a few months ago. She is now raising her two children alone, on a school teacher’s salary. Y’all, she is the kindest and best of us. Definitely one of our better angels and Gavin did NOT deserve this,” the page said. “…Thankfully, the attack was caught on a neighbor’s security camera. However, little Gavin is fighting for his life now and his future is unknown.”

The wrongdoer has since been arrested. This, however, isn’t the first time that he had done something like this. In fact, Poulsen had been arrested 15 times before and those charges include burglary, committing lewd acts in public, battery, resisting arrest and annoying and/or molesting a child younger than 18, but he was always declared mentally unfit to go through trial. Doctors are currently evaluating his mental state.

We pray Gavin would be able to get to his old life back after he goes through the much needed surgeries.

The tragedy took place at 5 a.m. on Northbound Rt. 301, just south of Point Bridge Rd, when the 2005 Chrysler Pacifica went off the road, crashed into trees, and then spun across a field.

First responders and police officers believed the driver suffered some sort of medical emergency and that was the reason why she lost control over the SUV, but it was far from the truth. The mother was under influence of alcohol and drugs at the moment her two kids and three other were killed. This news shocked the whole country and let them wondering how could a mother be so irresponsible as to drive under influence and lead that many souls to death.

Investigation showed that none of the children had a seatbelt on. That added to the reason why their bodies were ejected from the car.

Members of the Bowie community came together to mourn the tragic loss.

“I remember going out to feed the homeless and the little girls were pitching, ‘what can I put in this, I want to do this, I want to help,'” said the grandfather of one of the vicstims, Robert Herald Sr. “They were the only two little girls who got up early in the morning to feed the homeless. What can you say of humanitarianism at a young age? They were always looking out to help other people. That’s how my family is and that’s how our family will stay,” he added.

One man’s trash is another man’s treasure they say, and the truth is that we can never know how valuable something that we no longer need can be to somebody else. Well, that is the reason why people do garage sales or shop at second-hand stores.

A woman named Priscilla Bailey of Massachusetts visited the local thrift shop hoping to get some Christmas accessories at a nice price. The thing is that she did find something quite cheap, yet truly special there; an ornament with markings that resembled angels or vikings. Anyway, Bailey believed this $2.99 piece was “really beautiful” and that it would fit her decorations just perfectly. On top of that, she loved the way it caught light where it was hanged.

After inspecting the blue ornament closely using a flashlight, Bailey realized there was something moving inside of it. “It’s small. The two spots in it are small, the size of a golf ball,” she said.

When she found out the ornament was filled with a powdery substance, she realized it was in fact an urn with someone’s ashes.

And now, no matter how much she loves this unique ornament, she knows it belongs to someone else and is very valuable to them, so she’s doing her best to find the person it belongs to. She and her daughter shared the incredible story in hopes of returning it to its owner.

Who would have thought this woman would end up buying such incredible thing? Please share this story; it may help the urn get its way back home.

Parents forced to make a decision after they were told one of their quadruplets wasn’t developing like the rest

By

Many times in life we face situations in which we have to make decisions. We may never know whether what we choose is good or bad at the moment, but we just follow our gut feeling and hope for the best. It is exactly what Ivanna and David Cardenas Gutierrez did when they were told something shocking about their unborn babies.

Namely, this couple was over the moon when they learned they were expecting a child. They did prepare for the new life that awaited them, but nothing could prepare them for the surprise the ultrasound revealed. They weren’t expecting one baby, but four.

Although this came as a shock at first, the parents-to-be were looking forward to meeting their quadruplets.

However, when Ivanna was in the 27th week of the pregnancy, doctors told them some devastating news. One of the babies wasn’t getting enough oxygen so they were given a choice. Either let the pregnancy progress, which meant that one baby would likely die, or go through an emergency c-section and deliver all the four babies prematurely. That had it’s own risks as well, because it meant the little ones would had to spend some time at the hospital and their survival rate would be around 40%.

Ivanna and David didn’t hesitate before they decided to have the babies right away and do their best to save all of them.

Luckily, this decision was the best this couple has ever made. Their four miracles were delivered safely and they were all doing perfectly fine.

Today, the quadruplets, Francesca, Sebastian, Julian, and Gabriel are six years old and they make their parents’ lives happy. Ivanna and David are glad they did the right thing and managed to save Gabriel’s life.

We wish them a lot of happiness and a bunch of incredible moments in the years to come. What a beautiful family!

Nurse dresses prematurely born baby in a Superman cape, parents are left speechless by the thoughtful act

By

Monica Pop

Michelle Campbell and Chris Korres couldn’t wait for their first child to be born. To their surprise, the big arrival of sweet baby Benjamin happened two months before expected and that meant he had to spend some time in the hospital, at the neonatal unit.

The new parents were perfectly aware that premature babies may not develop at the same pace as babies born around their due date, but they weren’t really concerned as long as their son was doing perfectly fine.

Doctors were satisfied at the rate Benjamin developed and after two months under their care, he was finally ready to go home with his mom and dad who were eagerly waiting to hold him.

A couple of days before he was discharged, Michelle and Chris went to check on their boy when they noticed something very unusual. Benjamin was dressed in a tiny superman cape with the letter B instead of an S. There was a note attached on the bed saying, “To our little superhero, all the love from Stephanie T”.

These parents were so deeply touched by this incredible gesture that they couldn’t contain tears of happiness from rolling down their faces. The only mystery around this gift was who was Stephanie.

After they asked around, they learned that Stephanie was a nurse at a neonatal unit in charge of Benjamin and the rest of the premature babies. This devoted nurse has worked at the Jewish General Hospital in Montreal for a year and during that short amount of time she changed the lives of many babies and parents by showing them how much she cared.

In fact, she had made around 100 capes for that many tiny superheroes.

“It brings a smile to the parents’ faces in a time that’s not so good so it was really special for us to have gotten that,” Michelle told Metro.

Since then, Benjamin is home and is doing great. He truly is a superhero who is developing as though he wasn’t even born prematurely. He’s super cute and makes his mom and dad extremely happy.

Stephanie is just another example of how important doctors, nurses, and all medical professionals are. They are always there to provide help and they often go above and beyond for the well-being of their patients.

9 habits to start today in order to prevent dementia and Alzheimer’s before it’s too late

By

Monica Pop

-

Living with Alzheimer or dementia isn’t just hard for the person suffering from it but for those around them as well. Seeing a loved one struggling to remember things clearly is simply heartbreaking and everyone who has a relative with either of these two conditions knows the pain all too well.

The good thing is that medicine is evolving with each passing day and we never know when the cure for some of the diseases and conditions of today will be found. One thing is certain, we should never lose hope.

Researchers and scientists believe these 9 habits can help us protect our brain from Alzheimer’s and dementia. Read all about it below.

1. Quit smoking

Most of the people who enjoy smoking are aware of the negative consequences of this habit. Smoking doesn’t only affect the skin, but the brain as well. Researchers say that smokers run a 45 percent higher risk of getting Alzheimer’s compared to non-smokers.

2. Increase your vitamin B12 intake

Recent researches done at a medical institution in Finland speak of the correlation of Alzheimer’s and dementia and the deficiency of B12. That is one reason why you should start eating more food containing this important vitamin such as eggs, seafood, fish, and meat.

3. Be more active

Exercising for at least half an hour a day can affect your health positively. Not only you’ll feel fresher and younger, but you’ll help decrease the chances of suffering from dementia. Exercise helps keep your brain in shape as well, not just your body.

4. Increase your Vitamin D intake

Over the years, more and more importance is given to the vitamin D. A study conducted in the US back in 2014 showed that the deficiency of this vitamin can increase the risk of Alzheimer’s by 125 percent.

If you want to increase your daily intake of this vitamin just spend more time on the sun. If that’s not an option, take some supplements.

5. Drink coffee

If you are one of those people who can’t imagine starting their day without a cup of coffee, than you are at the same time lowering the risk of Alzheimer’s disease by 50 percent.

This drink plays the role of an antioxidant.

6. Protect your head

Studies suggest that bad head injuries can later lead to developing Alzheimer’s or dementia. That is why make sure you keep your head safe at all times, especially when you’re riding a bike or motorcycle. Never do it without a helmet.

7. Minimize alcohol intake

If you drink alcohol every now and then remember that consuming too much of it can negatively affect the normal functioning of the brain thus lead to dementia or Alzheimer’s. Of course, you can always have a glass of wine as it is said to keep you healthy.

8. Brain exercises are great

Our brain should be stimulated at all times. In case you wonder how to do it, here’s a tip. Read a lot, or solve crosswords and Sudoku whenever possible. Learning new things make the brain put an extra effort in remembering them, so that boosts memory.

9. Make sure to relax and rest!

Stress can cause dementia and no matter how hard it is to avoid stressful situations, do everything to do exactly that. Take rest often and make sure your brain and body get enough sleep.

Mom heartbroken after stillbirth – now warning parents over a mistake that could’ve been avoided

By

Holding their bundle of joy in their arms is something every parent-to-be dreams of. Brooke, a 27-year-old mother is not any different. She and her husband Elliot were looking forward to welcoming their second child into the world, but then, when this mom was in the 36th week of pregnancy, something devastating happened.

*Story contains information and images of infant loss that may be distressing

Brooke was diagnosed with heavy haemorrhage and she lost 1.7 litres of blood. She did fear for her life, but it was nothing compared to her worry for her unborn child.

Sadly, the ultrasound showed that the sweet baby didn’t show any signs of life. This mom’s heart broke into a million pieces and she was the one who shared the devastating news with her husband. Elliot was heartbroken as well. He fell to the ground and couldn’t believe he would never get to meet his baby.

“My heart was broken. I looked at the ultrasound screen and could see the lifeless body of the baby inside me. It’s an image I can never erase from my mind,” Brooke said, according to Spanish site Viralista.

Despite her grief, Brooke gathered strength to share her story with the rest of the world. She did this because she believes a mistake had been done and it could have been easily avoided. She doesn’t want any other parent to ever experience the pain she and her husband felt.

Namely, this grieving mom explained how she suffered a placental abruption, meaning the wall of her uterus came off partially. That caused her to bleed and stopped the supply of oxygen to the baby. It was later determined how Brooke suffered from genetic coagulation disorder known as Factor V Leiden which could be easily detected by a simple blood test.

Brooke is now urging future mothers to always ask for such test to be done during their pregnancies.

The private life of Elvis Presley’s ex-wife Priscilla, her family and her children

By

-

Even after 42 years of his death, Elvis Presley is still regarded one of the most significant cultural icons that has ever lived. His charm, charisma, and incredible talent stole the hearts of many and he made fans in each and every country in this world. Dubbed “The King of Rock and Roll,” Elvis’ work and music continues to live long after his death and will likely remain popular among many future generations.

He met the love of his life, his beautiful ex-wife Priscilla when she was just 14 years old during a serendipitous encounter in Bad Nauheim, Germany.

Priscilla was just a baby when her father James Wagner who was a pilot in the Navy lost his life. Sadly, he never got to meet his beautiful baby girl. Eventually, Priscilla’s mother re-married to Air-Force officer Paul Beaulieu who became a father figure and a very important person in Priscilla’s life. Because of the nature of his job, the family was forced to move from base to base every two or three years.

Priscilla said of those times how she was a shy girl who didn’t want to make many friends because she knew they would move places, so she didn’t feel like getting close to people who wouldn’t likely remain a part of her life.

It was when the family moved to Germany that she first met Elvis Presley.

It looked like The King knew this girl was the love of his life the moment he laid eyes on her. During the next two years of their life, the two stayed in touch before Elvis invited her to spend the summer with him in his Los Angeles place. By the next spring, Priscilla moved to the US in a house near Graceland before she moved in with Elvis.

The couple tied the knot on May 1, 1967 and welcomed their first and only child Lisa Marie the following year.

The baby that was about to make their relationship even stronger seemed to be the reason why Elvis’ feelings and affection for his wife started fading away. Speaking to the Daily Mail at the time, he said he never really planned on marrying Priscilla or having a child together. This came as a shock to Priscilla who was still very young.

According to Vice, Priscilla once said, “Elvis had mentioned to me before we were married that he had never been able to make love to a woman who had a child.”

The couple eventually separated, and on the day of their divorce on February 23, 1972, the two left the courthouse hand in hand. They both spoke how they still loved each other, despite the decision of getting separated.

“I divorced him even though I still loved him, but I needed to find out what the world was like, but the greatest thing about our relationship is that we still loved each other,” Priscilla said.

After Elvis’ death, Priscilla turned the Graceland into a tourist attraction and pursued a career as an actress. Her most significant roles are that of Jane Spencer in the successful Naked Gun films and Jenna Wade on the long-running television series Dallas.

She also became part of the infamous Church of Scientology defined by many as a cult which is the church to many celebrities among which Tom Cruise.

Priscilla was involved with Rob Kardashian from 1975 to 1976 and then dated Marco Garibaldi for almost two decades with whom she has her son Navarone Anthony Garibaldi, a musician and part of the band Them Guns. Priscilla is a grandmother to four grandchildren. Sadly, her grandson Benjamin Keough died of suicide on 14th of July 2020. Lisa Marie Presley was said to be left completely heartbroken. Her manager Roger Widynowski told TMZ, “She is completely heartbroken, inconsolable and beyond devastated but trying to stay strong for her 11 year old twins and her oldest daughter Riley. She adored that boy. He was the love of her life.”

Today, Priscilla is 75 and still looks very beautiful. She has confessed, however, that her looks is young and fresh thanks to the plastic surgeries. Even now, the ex of The King is working on keeping his legacy life.

Most people love to be up to date with the latest fashion and makeup trends. They do this mostly because they see their favorite celebrities following and even setting up those fashion styles. Throughout the years, makeup and fashion fads have been evolving constantly. From minimal colors in the 30’s, to pastel eye shadows in the 80’s. From Twiggy’s iconic lower lashes, to Kennedy Onassis’ hairstyle ‘the Flip,” the last 100 years have witness many trends come and go.

Recently, it looks like a lot of celebrities and influencers have given the natural look a go. Many decide to embrace their natural, makeup free beauty by posting selfies on the social media and reminding their fans and followers that we should love ourselves the way we are.

One of those celebrities that is trying to make a change on the way we see beauty is Gwen Stefani. She might be 50, but she’s still looking as awesome as ever. Throughout the years, the red lipstick and the smoked eyeliner have been her thing. Today, however, she believes she should let her face breath and take a rest from the makeup every now and then.

“I do my own makeup whenever I play live,” the singer told Cosmopolitan.

“I don’t know what it is, but something about that whole kind of war paint, you know, putting it on, building the confidence. Once I get the makeup on, it’s show time, I’ve said that for years and its so true.”

Stefani has always been considered bold went it comes to her style which is dubbed by many pretty-meets-punk.

Makeup, especially the famous red lipstick that she rocks so incredibly perfect, is somehow what defines her style. “I have my whole beauty crew. Everyone I work with is just as passionate about makeup and hair and style as I am, so we just have so much fun creating looks. We love to recreate anything that feels vintage; any decade like the 60s or 70s. Being on The Voice we did a lot of that, referencing all the old Hollywood stars. It’s super fun,” Stefani told Elle some years ago.

Today, she loves being natural and be an inspiration to young women from all over the world.

“The one thing that I have really changed is trying to get all the makeup off,” she said.

“It was hard when I was younger because I was always on a tour bus, literally washing my face with bottled water, inside a bus. But the key is to keep it clean at night [and] let your face breath because I really don’t let it breathe at any other time.”

Of course, it’s not that Stefani doesn’t wear any make up or is ditching her red lipstick completely. She just wants to give her face a break every now and then. Some of the photos she posted on her Instagram account a while ago are simply mesmerizing. Her natural beauty is incredible. Share this article if you agree.

Woman called “Purple People Eater” because of her birthmark undergoes surgery

How do we learn not to judge a book by its cover? Sadly, based on a woman named Kiana Smith, we don’t. Being different for whatever reason can make many see the person as an outcast and as though they don’t belong anywhere, and that’s devastating beyond words.

When she was welcomed into the world, Kiana’s parents and her doctors couldn’t help by notice the most unusual birthmark ever. The distinguishing feature spread on a significant portion of the girl’s face and her chest.

As time passed by, her birthmark only grew bigger and bigger and that caused her a lot of trouble while growing up. Many of Kiana’s schoolmates didn’t show any understanding for her looks. Instead, she had been called names and bullied. She remembers how those who were supposed to be her friends used to call her “Purple People Eater.”

Over time, she learned how to love herself for who she is and had undergone a number of procedures that would help her reduce the birthmark and feel better about herself. Speaking of her condition, Kiana said how she could feel the blood flow and pump around her birthmark. It was so huge that even her speech was impeded.

Hera is spoiled rotten always trying to clean my ears

“The surgeries of my birthmark have helped so much. I mean I don’t have this bulk on my face,” Kiana said.

“As I would describe it, it’s like having this huge one-inch steak, the weight of it hanging on your face. Sometimes I would feel the blood just running and pumping in my birthmark. But I don’t have that anymore. I am able to speak much better which is fantastic.”

Kiana is confident in herself and won’t let her birthmark define who she is although she’s very well aware that there always be people who would stare.

This woman is such an inspiration for everyone out there who believes they don’t look the way society wants them to. Today, Kiana is an ambassador for the Vascular Birthmark Foundation and is making a huge change in the life of many.

Teenage waitress goes viral for helping an elderly man cut his food

Young people are considered careless by many. That is why we are somehow ‘shocked’ when we hear of teenagers doing good things and impacting the society in a positive way. I believe that stories depicting the good at young people should be shared further, because that’s the only way to fight the stigma that surrounds this group of people. Just like this story we are about to share with you.

Evoni Williams is a very special young girl. This 18-year-old teen works behind the counter at at Waffle House in Houston. But she doesn’t do her job for the sake of getting paid only, but because she loves making people happy by serving them their favorite food.

Recently, a woman named Laura Wolf noticed Williams doing something extraordinary. Namely, an elderly gentleman entered the place and ordered something to eat, but Williams then noticed how he struggled cutting his ham. Yes, the man was very fragile and didn’t even have the strength to cut his food. Williams didn’t think twice before she offered to do that for him.

“This may seem small, but to him, I’m sure it was huge,” Wolf wrote.

“I’m thankful to have seen this act of kindness and caring at the start of my day while everything in this world seems so negative.”

The fact that the photo was shared over 40,000 times speaks of the need of people to hear positive things taking place during these hard days for the humanity.

What’s most, the photo took the attention of Texas Southern University School who were so deeply touched by William’s deed that they offered her a scholarship worth $16,000.

This was like a wish come true for Williams whose biggest dream was to attend university after she graduated from High School. She was in fact working at the time in order to save up some money for her studies. But now her pure soul and her heart of gold brought her this scholarship that was about to change her whole life.

“I didn’t know the photo was taken until a couple hours later,” Williams told the Houston Chronicle. Regarding all the praise she got, this humble girl says that she only did what everyone else would do for someone in need of help. “When I saw it, it’s just something I would do for anybody.”

We are glad William’s act of kindness was caught by Wolf who shared it online and made everyone’s day. This sweet girl is such an inspiration. Please share this story further, maybe it will inspire someone to do good deed themselves.

6-year-old almost dies from ingesting BBQ brush bristle while eating burger

By

Stephanie Church

It’s summertime! For most families all over the world that means firing up the grill and having burgers for dinner. The Fiore family was enjoying this typical summer evening just like so many others but things turned bad quickly.

Their 6-year-old son Anthony took a bite of his burger and got sick immediately.

He was rushed to the hospital and the family was told how Anthony had swallowed a tiny wire from the brush used to clean the grill.

“We knew something was wrong and he was in extreme pain because he was crying.From the time we had dinner to the time we had surgery, it was about 12 hours later, because our journey started at the local hospital, and then we were transported to SickKids,” Anthony’s mother, Nadia said.

There is not a surefire way to remove metal wires from human’s throats, but the surgeons were finally able to dislodge the metal wire. I can’t imagine the task would have been easy! It would be like removing a splinter, a not so easy task.

Doctors kept a close eye on Anthony to make sure he didn’t develop a throat infection.

The doctor has encountered more than his share of patients that need these brush bristles removed. If untreated the results could be fatal.

Father dies after rescuing drowning son during family vacation – Rest in peace

A holiday at the beach turned into a tragedy for a Mississippi family after the father lost his life while saving his son from drowning. The horrific incident took place on July 22 in Sandestin, Florida.

The man in question is William Nichols, director of Desoto County’s Search and Rescue unit. According to reports, rip currents caught the young boy off guard and Nichols rushed to save him, but things took the wrong turn. So after he managed to get his son to safety, Nicholas was pulled back by the currents.

People who were vacationing there and witnessed the incident rushed to help and got some paddle boards into the water but the currents were way too strong for something to be done.

Sadly, this hero of a father died and his lifeless body was taken off the water some 30 minutes after he disappeared.

Nicholas was an excellent swimmer and new the waters. However, beach-goers usually rely on flags to determine the safety of the water, and this private beach didn’t have any flags.

“We have no words to express our devastation,” wrote the Walton County Sheriff’s Department on their Facebook page. “Our hearts go out to his family and our brothers and sisters in Desoto County. Rest In Peace, brother. We have the watch.”

We are very sorry for the loss. Rest in Peace Nicholas. You are a hero!

Margarita burns: Mom left in shock after 3-year-old gets severe skin blisters

By

Monica Pop

Sabrina Miller and her family were looking forward to a fun day outside. The weather was just perfect for camping and swimming so they got ready and embarked on a summer adventure. Everything seemed perfect, and eventually, the family called the day off and headed home.

But what happened the following day left everyone in a complete shock. Sabrina’s daughter, 3-year-old Kaleigh, woke up the next morning with severe burns on her face. Nothing worrying happened the day before, so Sabrina got really concerned because she had no idea why her daughter would experience such injuries.

Of course, the first thing this mother did was rush her girl to the hospital. However, according to Sabrina, doctors didn’t think the burns were serious. They were only given a lotion that would hopefully help soothe Kaleigh’s skin. But that didn’t happen. Sadly, the following day, the girl’s burns turned into huge blisters that resembled a second-degree burns.

Sabrina then took Leigh to a dermatologist where they were finally given answers regarding the girl’s condition. “I was just kind of traumatized, I was like, crying my eyes out, [wondering], ‘What is going on with her?’” she said. The dermatologist then asked Sabrina whether Leigh had any contact with any citrus fruits while out in the sun. She said yes and explained how the girl loves eating limes.

To this mother’s surprise, that was the reason why Kaleigh got all those blisters. Apparently, she suffered from a syndrome known as Phytophotodermatitis or “margarita burn.”

The oil and the juice in limes contains a chemical known as photosensitizers which makes the skin extra-sensitive to sunlight. It usually appears on the area of skin that was in contact with the limes.

So people who have this syndrome should be very careful what they consume while they are exposed to direct sun light.

The dermatologist took care of sweet Kaleigh’s skin and she’s now feeling great. Luckily, there will be no scars left.

”He (the doctor) released the pressure of the burns, drained them, and dressed them with steroid ointment. Still being seen daily, the next week or so is just a healing process for my poor princess”, Sabrina wrote.

We hope this story will make you more cautious when drinking margaritas by the pool this summer. Other fruits that may cause phytophotodermatitis include carrots, celery, figs, wild dill, wild parsley, wild parsnips and all the citrus fruits.

Mom thinks she’s having twins: Then doctors look at the ultrasound and tell her she’s carrying sextuplets

By

Kelly White

This one lovely person, Lauren Perkins has always had a dream of being a mom, she had a hard year not succeeding in getting pregnant, the thought of some fertility treatment didn’t seem so bad anymore!

She needed a break, and her husband too, so they booked a vacation, to Nicaragua to think about what they would do next.

The couple went on their holiday, they also took some friends too, and during the holiday the subject came and they discussed it with friends, one of their friends was a priest…

He said:

“Someone up there has big plans for you. I don’t know what, but it will be big.”

She didn’t give it a lot of thought but she would soon become aware of how wise these words were…

After the Holiday they returned home to Texas, and her and David had made a decision, they wanted to try artificial insemination, the simplest method.

Lauren really had her doubts that it would work at all, but amazingly it worked, she was finally pregnant!

The very first check that she had, the doctors said that she had really high HCG levels…

It could only mean that there was a strong likelihood that, in fact, she was pregnant and that there was more than one child, her husband and her were so happy! After such hard work now they will have more than one child!

It wasn’t too long before it was time for an ultrasound, the shocked doctor delivered some surprising news…

The doctor said, quietly:

“I count five in there.”

Lauren thought, oh my god, is it possible?

The doctor then said, hand on:

“Wait a minute! I just found a sixth baby.”

Lauren and David had a difficult decision now; they could either reduce the amount of the children or keep them all, both had risks!

The likelihood that all six of the tiny babies would survive were low, six at the same time can lead to many dangerous situations.

After a lot of thought, Lauren and David eventually took the plunge and said they would have all six!

The doctors said they would do everything in their power to make it possible and deliver them all safe and sound, the hospital put every effort into helping them too.

They arrived on the 23rd April 2012, Lauren was in week 30, so before 37 weeks and considered premature!

There was 35 hospital staff inside the delivery room, all hands on deck. the birth was underway and they started the hard work of bringing these babies into the world without any hiccups!

Lauren said:

“I was nervous and excited all at once. It was starting to sink in that this was for real – I was going to have 6 babies”

In four minutes they delivered all six babies, they all weighed between 1 and 2 pounds and were called:

“Andrew, Benjamin, Caroline, Leah, Allison, and Levi”

Lauren said:

“I didn’t expect to see my babies until the next day, but each baby’s team rolled them by me one by one on their way up to the NICU, and I got to touch their little fingers.”

For the first few days, they had to stay in the hospital to be strong enough, it took so long to get all the wires and monitors organized so they could hold their sweet little babies!

How completely amazing!

Lauren said:

“And that moment, when I got to hold my baby, was when I became a mother…of sextuplets”

All six survived the ordeal of childbirth, those first few moments of life are the hardest where things could so easily go wrong.

After quite a few weeks of care and lots of love the staff in the hospital caring for them around the clock, the family could finally hold all of them.

At the tender age of four months old, five of the six babies could go home, tiny Leah needed to stay the hospital a little longer…

Lauren said about Leah:

“She was literally buried under everybody else in the womb …so she didn’t get the right nutritional flow. Her brain was not fully developed.”

The family really had great support from everyone around them and loved ones too, especially in those really difficult times.

Lauren is overjoyed about the help and support from all the medical staff involved. Without them, the children may never have been strong enough to be able to go home.

Lauren said:

“My doctor was the best and I’m forever grateful to him for the level of care I received …Also, the NICU staff who put in hours upon hours getting our children ready to come home and teaching us the ins and outs of preemie care. So many of these people have a special place in our hearts and family.”

Just recently, Andrew Noah, Benjamin Luke, Caroline Grace, Leah Michelle, Allison Kate and Levi Thomas all celebrated their 6th birthdays, wow!

This family truly has adapted to a greater, more full-on way of living, together!

Please SHARE this lovely and sweet tale of six babies with friends and family!

Mom is warning other parents after daughter experiences heatstroke without being exposed to the sun

By

Monica Pop

No matter how much we try to keep a close eye on our kids at all times, that’s simply not always possible. A mother named Jennifer Abma is sharing her experience and is warning other parents to be extra cautious of their children’s well being when the temperatures are extremely high.

Although summer time is the period all kids love because they can have fun outside and do a bunch of interesting things with their friends, moms and dads should always have in mind the fact that being exposed to the sun for a long period of time can lead to a heatstroke.

It was July 14th, and Jennifer’s daughter Anastasia was in her bedroom, sleeping. However, the girl seemed to overslept, and Jennifer went to check on her and wake her up. But Anastasia wouldn’t wake up. She was sound asleep and it looked like she was pretty hot, although she wasn’t out on the sun that day. This raised a red flag, and Jennifer had to act really quick. She called 911 and it was determined sweet Anastasia had a heatstroke.

Jennifer later shared the whole story on her Facebook page and this is what she had to say:

“THIS was my evening, this was the scariest moment I’ve had to imagine, THIS is severe heatstroke. There is nothing scarier than not being able to wake your baby up.

THIS is clear proof a child doesn’t need to be in the sun to get heat stroke. It took us 20 minutes to wake her up, when ambulance came, they came with investigators because they didn’t know what to expect as did I.”

“This was proof how fast things change.

Anastasia put herself for a nap, I had no idea how hot her bedroom was until I went to wake her up soaked in sweat, red face, boiling and unable to wake her for 15 minutes, ambulance arrived faster then I could have ever imagined and took her sugars which were 1.2 and should be above 4, they administered sucrose and in minutes she started crying clearly scared.”

“No it is not my fault this happened to her but it is hard not to blame yourself, this is a lesson learnt & hopefully other parents can take something from this & make sure you are checking the rooms in your house because thy can be as dangerous as a hot car.

Still I’m shook and I can’t imagine what would have happened if I didn’t go check on her. We definitely had god on our side yesterday and I am thankful for emergency services and Jay who came as fast as possible to keep me together.”

We are glad this story had a happy ending and we honestly hope no other kid or parent should ever go through anything similar to what these mom and daughter experienced.

Stepdad puts his foot down after bride and girlfriend’s reveal their true characters

By

Kelly White

A partner who makes you feel bad about yourself really doesn’t belong in your life, you need to get your life together, at all costs, and move on!

The terrifying thought of being alone is more often than not greater than the yearning for happiness and the reason that people stay in a relationship for longer than they should, even when we feel terrible about it!

A bad relationship is very hard to find the conviction to break free of, but in this storey, the man was pushed to the point of no return.

He told everyone about his situation by writing in a forum and very quickly received support from thousands of others who had read his post!

The man wrote:

My stepdaughter will be getting married on August 3rd. The wedding planning has consumed most of her and her mother’s life (I say her mother because we aren’t married, though we’ve lived together for 10 years) for the past six months.

My step-daughter graduated last December from University. I paid for her to go to college, though it was a state school, it still ran $40K. She does not have a job and has been living with us for the duration of her college career and since her graduation. I also bought her a car to get back and forth from school when she finished high school.

From time to time her deadbeat father would pop into her life and she would fawn all over him. Although he has not contributed a cent to her education or paid any child support, though that is my girlfriend’s fault as c.s. was not part of the settlement, she still loves him and wants him in her life. He stays long enough to break her heart by skipping town and breaking some promise that he made her.

The wedding venue holds 250 people max. I gave them a list of 20 people that I wanted to invite, you know since I was paying for everything. They told me that was no problem and they’d take care of it. So I let these people know they’d be getting an invite and they should save the date. Saturday, I saw one of my friends on this list at the golf course and asked if he was coming. He told me that he wasn’t invited. He told me that he got an announcement, but not an invitation. He had it in his back seat (along with probably six months of mail) and showed it to me. Sure enough, it was just an announcement, and my name was nowhere on it. It had her dad’s name and her mom’s name and not mine.

This led to a pretty big fight with my GF, as I found out that NONE of my list of twenty “made the cut” for the final guest list because “250 people is very tight.” I was pissed, but not a hell of a lot I could do because the important people in my life had already been offended. My GF said, “if some people didn’t rsvp yes, I might be able to get a couple people in.” But that is an ultimate slap in the face in my opinion. So, I was boiling on Saturday.

Yesterday, we had a Sunday dinner with the future in-law’s family and us and a surprise guest, the “Real Dad.” At this little dinner, my step-daughter announced that her “Real Dad” was going to be able to make it to her wedding and that now he’d be able to give her away. This was greeted with a chorus of “Oh how great” and “How wonderful”s.

I don’t think I have ever felt so angry and so disrespected. I was shaking. I took a few seconds to gather my composure because I honestly wasn’t sure if I would cry or start throwing punches or both. Once I was sure I’d be able to speak I got up from my chair and said I’d like to make a toast. I can’t remember exactly what I said but the gist of it was this:

“I’d like to make a toast.” The sound of spoons against glasses ring in my years. “It has been my great pleasure to be a part of this family for the past ten years.” Awe, how sweet. “At this point in my life, I feel I owe a debt of gratitude to bride and groom because they have opened my eyes to something very important.” Confident smiles exchanged. “They have shown me that my position in this family is not what I once thought it was.” And now a glimmer of confusion and shock begins to spread on the faces in the room. “Though I once thought of myself as the patriarch or godfather of the family, commanding great respect and sought out for help in times of need, it seems instead that I hold the position of an ATM, good for a stream of money, but not much else. As I have been replaced as host, both on the invitations and in the ceremony, I am resigning my financial duties as host to my successor, Real Dad. So cheers to the happy couple and the path they have chosen.” I finished my drink. “You all can let yourselves out.”

Is this selfish? I’m supposed to shell out 40 — 50 grand for a wedding that I can’t invite anyone to? That I am not a part of? I’m so done with this crap. I’m done with my step-daughter, I’m done with my GF. I transferred the money out of our joint account last night. (she has not had a job since she moved in with me) This morning I called all the vendors I had written checks to for deposits to refund my money. At present, it looks like I’ll lose around 1500, for the venue, but the other vendors have been great about refunding.

You want your “REAL DAD” to be on the invitation, to give you away and to sit at the head table, fine, your “REAL DAD” can pay for everything too.

June 9th 1:15 am – Girlfriend and Bride are now moved out. They are moving in with the groom. It was very hard not to be petty with some of the “belongings” they took with them, but it’s done and I switched out the locks and now it’s time for a brew. I can’t believe how popular this story got, but I feel good to be given support by so many. If I find out what happens with the wedding, I will let you know, but I can’t guarantee that I will put in the effort to find out. From what I’ve heard they are trying to “scale things back” and get his parents to help out. GF burned bridges when I found out she tried to write herself a check on our joint account the day after the unpleasantness. By then I had already moved money, so I guess I’m a bigger ass than her, but I could feel it coming. That’s all. Thanks.”

If you don’t feel like you’re being respected in a relationship, then probably you never will be, your other half, so to speak, will most certainly not have suddenly changed when they get up one morning!

Woman noticed her husband smelled weird – then doctors discovered the odor was related to Parkinson disease

By

Monica Pop

Have you ever wondered what your life would be like if you possessed super powers? Well, most of us can only dream of something like that ever happening. However, some people do posses certain talents and gifts that resemble superpowers.

For a woman named Joy Milne, that special gift is her strong sense of smell. It’s so special, that now doctors are interested in examining it. It all started after Joy noticed how her husband Les smelled a bit different one day. “His lovely male musk smell had got this overpowering sort of nasty yeast smell,” she said. At first, she didn’t think the distinctive odor that only she could sense was something to worry about, but as time passed by, Les was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease.

Joy was very supportive and they both joined many groups with people who had the same disease. During the first meeting, Joy was shocked. She could feel in the room the smell she noticed at her husband some six years ago.

“I could smell it in this room all around of me,” Joy said.

After she told her husband’s doctors about that, they were hesitant at first, but then they decided to put Joy’s smell to the test. As they said, it’s not unusual for cats and dogs to be able to sense certain diseases, but that has never happened with a human before so they wanted to be sure.

To their surprise and delight, Joy performed exceptionally well on the scientific test.

Joy’s gift led to a new discovery related to the Parkinson disease. Namely, scientists believe this disease may result in a subtle change in the skin’s natural fluids.

Currently, scientists and researchers are working on creating a test that would help diagnose the disease early. Isn’t that amazing?

Sadly, Les passed away in 2015, but Joy hopes her special smell would help others in the future. Take a look at this incredible story in the video below.

Baby girl born weighing just 1 pound leaves hospital after 4 months – see how she looks today

By

Monica Pop

This is the story of an incredibly brave girl named Tru Wende Beare who was born 14-weeks-premature but pulled through and is a real beauty today.

When she was welcomed into the world, Tru only weighted 1 pound and was the tiniest baby doctors have ever seen. Sadly, that meant that Tru had to spend a lot of time at the hospital where the doctors at Royal Columbian Hospital, in New Westminster, Canada did their best to fight for her life.

Her mom and dad prayed to God and hoped for the best. They somehow knew their little girl would survive and couldn’t wait to hold her in their arms. Mom was first able to touch her little bundle of joy after 11 days, and dad only got to hold her when Tru turned 54 days old.

Tru spent 71 days in an incubator after she was finally moved to a crib. It was then that her life started becoming better and better with each passing day.

During the four months at the hospital, baby Tru faced numerous challenges and was able to overcome a great number of conditions.

Imagine having to fight against Necrotizing Enterocolitis, two blood clots, chronic lung disease, MRSA, retinopathy, two blood infections – including sepsis – a congenital heart defect, and seven blood transfusions at such young age. But as it turned out, nothing was impossible for this tiny warrior who wanted to live and be around mommy and daddy’s side.

Today, Tru is four years old and super cute. Who would have thought this beauty only weighted a pound when she was born. What’s most, she is a big sister and a true inspiration for many. She is a perfect example that nothing is ever impossible and the only choice we have in life, no matter how hard things get, is to never stop fighting.

We hope she will have an amazing life and will reach everything she will put her mind to. She proved already that she’s unbeatable and we would love for her to keep that attitude in the years to come.

Take a look at Tru’s incredible story in the video below and share it with your friends.

Doctors said that heroin addict only had 12 months left to live

By

Maryane

Despite the devastating fact that it ruins numerous lives and affects them in the most negative ways possible, people still use heroin. Once they start using it, there is usually no way back. That addiction is stronger than life.

Luckily for a woman and a heroin user named Caroline Beat, 36, the news that she only had a year to live if she continues abusing drugs came as a wake up call.

She was first introduced with the heroin while she was still a teenager. Her friends used it and one day they asked her to try it. Although she didn’t want that, they pressured her and called her a coward for refusing to play along.

Saying yes to that ‘offer’ she knew she had to refuse was a turning point for the worst for Caroline.

Soon after, Caroline was hooked. The last 20 years of her life were a constant struggle to find money for heroin.

After her family and friends turned their back to her, she started stealing. That got her into prison numerous times. There, she would go through a rehabilitation programs, but once out of prison, she always turned to her bad habits.

The last time she was in jail, the doctors told her that she damaged her body to the extent that she only had 12 months to live. She had sepsis that had reached to her heart valve and gave her endocarditis.

Now the problem was that no matter how much Caroline wanted to undergo the so much needed surgery that would help save her life, no hospital agreed to operate on her until her body was drugs free.

The devastated woman almost accepted her fate. She just couldn’t fight her addiction all by herself and knew it would eventually kill her.

But then, all of a sudden, someone came across her way and lent her a helping hand. It was the police officer who arrested her the final time. Stuart Toogood had seen similar cases and he really wanted to see Caroline thrive and change her life.

Officer Toogood told Caroline how he knew of a very effective six-month-long rehabilitation program, and Caroline was more than willing to visit the center and start the healing process.

Instead of spending the night on the streets, stealing or bagging for money, Caroline was in rehab. And it was the first step towards her new life.

Amazingly, Caroline was following the program and with the unconditional support from officer Toogood, she managed to keep herself clean for six months. It looked as though all she needed in her life was someone to give her a little push and trust her.

The time for the operation has finally come. But once the doctors ran tests, they discovered that Caroline’s body was able to repair itself, so she didn’t need the surgery any longer.

This brave woman who had gone through so much during her life now looks like a brand new person.

Now, Caroline and her savior speak of the incredible journey to complete recovery and are ready to help others who face drug addiction problems.

Check the video below to see what they have to say.

To remain one of the best in the industry for so many years isn’t something many actors can be proud of, but for Redford, each and every film and project has been a huge success.

Redford feels extremely sorry she didn’t live to see his worldwide success as an actor, director, and mostly as a person committed to environmental causes.
