The following has to be the most hilarious story ever.
“A lady about 8 months pregnant got on a bus. She noticed a man opposite her was smiling at her. She immediately moved to another seat. This time the man’s smile turned into a grin, so she move again. The man seemed more amused. When she moved for the fourth time, the man burst out laughing, she complained to the driver and he had the man arrested.
“The case came up in court. The judge asked the man, (about 20 years old), what he had to say for himself. The man replied, “Well your Honor, it was like this: When the lady got on the bus, I couldn’t help but notice her condition.
“She sat under a sweets sign that said, THE DOUBLEMINT TWINS ARE COMING, and I grinned.
“Then she moved and sat under a sign that said, LOGAN’S LINIMENT WILL REDUCE THE SWELLING, I had to smile.
“Then she placed herself under a deodorant sign than said, WILLIAMS BIG STICK DID THE TRICK, I could hardly contain myself.
“But, your Honor, when she moved the fourth time and sat under a sign that said, GOODYEAR RUBBER COULD HAVE PREVENTED THIS ACCIDENT, I just lost it.
When it comes to celebrities, one thing is certain, their lives are everything but ordinary, and the life story of living legend Willie Nelson is just the perfect example of that.
This incredible man has been making our lives a bit better since the 60’s when he started writing songs that turned huge hits for famous names like Ray Price, Patsy Cline and Billy Walker. By 1975, Nelson was already a star himself and did what no one has done it before; he created music mixing a variety of styles, including traditional pop, Western swing, jazz, traditional country, cowboy songs, honky tonk, rock & roll, folk, and the blues. The final result was a huge number of fans and everlasting hits.

Nelson was first introduced to music and instruments when was still very young. In fact, he has written his first song at the age of just 7 and by the age of 13, he performed with Bob Wills, the inventor of Western swing music. He and his sister Bobbie, who plays in his band, were raised by their grandparents, Alfred and Nancy Nelson, who both studied music courses. Nelson picked the guitar and never let it go, not even today at the age of 87.

His personal life was surrounded by controversies as he has been married four times and has 7 children.
In the book he wrote, “Me and Sister Bobbie,” he blamed his “roving eye” for the mess he created with the wives in his life. There, he spoke of his first wife, Martha Matthews, whom he was married to for 10 years, and who was reported to be very violent to him. He also shared how his second wife, Shirley Collie, learned he was having a baby with another woman. Apparently, she found a medical bill for the birth of a baby girl and confronted him. “I tried to play it off as no big deal,” he said, according to Page Six. “I told her that I had to go to the hospital for something minor.”

However, Collie knew all too well that Nelson had a weakness for beautiful women and was way too smart to fall for his excuses, so he had to tell her the truth. The mother of that baby girl, Connie Kopek, became his third wife. They stayed together for 17 years before Nelson married makeup artist Marie D’Angelo whom he refers to as the true love of his life.
“My love for Annie was all-consuming, but winning her over wasn’t easy. She had to be sure my marriage was over and that I was truly free,” he said speaking to Daily Mail. “You’ve already seen that when it comes to romance, I had a gift for complicating things. But marrying Annie wasn’t complicated at all.”
“It’s about the smartest thing I ever did… thirty-four years after we first met, we’re still together and going strong.”

This 13 time Grammy Award winning artist’s love life might have been complicated in the past, but we are glad he found what he was looking for at the end and is happy with his wife.
With all those stories of animals who are being abused, neglected, and abandoned in the worst ways possible, I can’t help by wonder why would those people even take a pet in if they are not ready to commit and take great care of them.
A cruel owner dumped a tiny puppy in the middle of the street. And as if abandoning the fragile creature wasn’t mean enough, he hurt his head severely before getting rid of him.

The poor pup was staying there in pain and helpless to even ask for help from the passersby who ignored him and pretended he didn’t exist. Luckily, a woman and her son noticed the curled up pup and got closer to him. They noticed the injury on his head and realized it was a serious one and the little guy was in need of medical attention.
However, the pup was way too scared to feel comfortable around these people who were there to give him a second chance in life.

Eventually, the mom and her son alerted an animal rescue service who lifted the pup up and took him to the vet’s. There, it was determined that the sweet animal suffered a brain injury and doctors didn’t know whether things would get better or worse in the days to come. They gave him medicines and said he needed around the clock care, something the good Samaritans were more than willing to give to the pup who became an important part of their life.

As weeks passed by, the puppy showed immense progress. He started wagging his tail and gave his human family lots of kisses. The vets were amazed at the significant improvement and were happy the dog was found by the right people.
Justin Hanley from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania left his home that day not knowing he was about to stumble upon the saddest sight he’d ever seen. A sweet pup was tied to the railing with some pizza slices placed by its side. What was even more unusual was the note left under the doormat.

The note read: “Please take me home. I’m a girl named Diamond. We can no longer keep her in our home. Thank you.”

No matter how much Justin wanted to keep the beauty, he couldn’t really take a pet in so he decided to share this unusual story with a group called East Falls Rants by posting it on their Facebook page.

Justin was more than happy to keep the dog until someone willing to provide her with a forever home would come along. Shortly after she entered Justin’s life, the dog which was later named Serenity was taken in by the Don’t Bully Us Rescue in southern New Jersey. They knew exactly where this dog should be placed. In the home of a retired Army special forces officer Chris King.

Serenity was extremely happy to be fostered by an animal lover like Chris. You won’t believe how many animals he and his girlfriend are taking care of. They have nine other dogs and seven pygmy goats. Chris also has four siblings but says it’s never crowded and there is always space for another animal in need of a loving home.

She was later given for adoption and placed in another family, but it turned out she missed Chris so much that she couldn’t get used to living with someone else. Once he realized the pup wasn’t happy with her new human parents, Chris took her back in and doesn’t plan on letting her go ever again.
“If you really want something, the whole universe conspires in helping you to achieve it,” Paulo Coelho, The Alchemist. A great thought from a great author that all of us should go back to whenever we feel things aren’t going the way we have imagined them.
Many times in life we feel like we are too old for the things that make us happy and we somehow convince ourselves that out time has passed and we shouldn’t even bother for the dreams that left unfulfilled. Thankfully, stories like that of 95-year-old World War II veteran Corporal Lewie Shaw remind us that nothing is impossible.

This incredible man had a rough childhood. When he was just 12 years old, he lost his parents and was forced to quit school at the age of 17 in order to work and be able to provide for himself. Before he became part of the Marine Corps back in 1943, Shaw worked as a janitor and a school bus driver.
During the war, Shaw served in Tinian, Iwo Jima in Japan, and Spain as part of the 4th Marine Division. Speaking of the life back home after the war was over, Shaw says it was pretty dull. However, during the last year’s Veteran Day ceremony, he received the surprise of a life time.
YouTube
Knowing just how much he regretted not getting a high school diploma, the Claremore public school in Oklahoma decided to grant him that wish and awarded him with one during a special graduation ceremony.
Shaw couldn’t believe what happened and was overjoyed. “It’s surreal,” he said, as tears of joy rolled down his face. He even offered a valuable piece of advice to all the students, saying, “My advice to them is keep on clawing, keep on digging. Get that education.”
Take a look at the video of the graduation ceremony below.
Louisiana police are in search of one of the three brothers who sexually assaulted a 10-year-old girl in her home.
Two of the rapists, Raul and Wilmer Paz-Perez, both 35, are arrested and held without bond at the Jefferson Parish Correctional Center in Gretna. 31-year-old Elder Paz Perez, who has a second rape allegation in an unrelated case, is at large.
Louisiana police need your help finding 31-year-old Elder Paz Perez. Police say he already has a second rape allegation involving somebody else against him.https://t.co/6pCn8UU57E
The incident took place in September 9, 2020, after the three brothers were left with the girl. It was reported they were friends of the family, and according to reports, Elder was romantically involved with the girl’s mother.
Allegedly, the three men first offered the girl money in order to have sex with her, and after she refused and got scared and locked herself in the bathroom, one of the brothers broke inside and they all raped the girl.
The incident was reported to the police a couple of days after it took place when the girl told a relative about what happened.
Lt. Michael Cunningham is asking from the public to come forward with any information that will lead to Elder’s arrest. Those who have and are willing to share information on the whereabouts of Elder Paz Perez should contact the Kenner Police at (504) 712-2222 or Crimestoppers at (504) 822-1111 or toll-free 1.877.903.7867
One thing I love about America is that the war veterans and the members of the military there are always treated with deep respect and considered heroes. Americans are well aware that it is because of these people that they enjoy freedom each and every day.
Lawrence Brooks is one of 300,000 living veterans who served during the World War II. Believe it or not, this hero was born on September 12, 1909, and turned 111 this year.
What’s most, he celebrated his birthday in a unique way and received around 9,700 cards from people from all over the country who congratulated him on his birthday and his heroism.
Instagram: National World War II Museum
Brooks, who served in New Guinea and the Philippines as part of a unit mainly made up of African Americans has been celebrating his birthday at the National World War II Museum in New Orleans each year.
This time, however, it was a bit different. Because of the coronavirus pandemic and the social distancing, this hero watched the museum’s vocal trio, The Victory Belles, singing “Happy Birthday” to him from his porch. He also received an aerobatics show and a full military flyover.
Instagram: National World War II Museum
The museum took to Instagram and wrote, “While we weren’t able to have our usual birthday party at the Museum this year, we were able to host a socially distanced celebration that he could view safely from his porch.In addition to flyovers, a cake, and a personal performance from the Victory Belles, we were able to deliver the nearly 10,000 birthday cards sent in from around the world. Thank you to everyone who sent a card or birthday wishes for helping us make this day special in a new way!“
The president of the museum, Stephen Watson, said, “The museum’s mission is to tell important stories of the men and women who served in World War Two. We are honored to celebrate Lawrence Brooks, whose life and service are filled with such stories of bravery and determination.”

After the war was over, Brooks worked as a forklift operator. He has five children, 13 grandchildren, and 22 great-grandchildren. We wish him a very happy birthday and many more to come.
News about children who suffer from the hands of those who are supposed to carry for them is something that we hear a lot. Sadly, it seems to me that this world is going crazier with each passing day and we can’t really do anything to stop that, no matter how hard we try.
A story of a 10-year-old girl from Monte Caseros, Argentina, shook the entire world after it was discovered that her stepfather, Horacio Insaurralde, raped and impregnated her.
The mother had no idea what her little girl was going through while the two were living under the same roof with the monster stepfather. And she didn’t realize her daughter was pregnant until the girl’s grandmother noticed how her belly was getting bigger and bigger every day. At the time of the discovery, the mother and Horacio were no longer together as things didn’t work out between them.

Learning of the girl’s pregnancy left the mother and the family in disbelief. It was obvious the girl couldn’t continue with the pregnancy because she was way too young to give birth and she was raped, so the mother considered the Legal Interruption of Pregnancy (ILE) which is a measure taken to legally have an abortion if the pregnancy is harmful to the health of the person, or, is a product of rape.
However, after consulting a doctor, the mother was told that “it was riskier to stop the pregnancy than to continue it” knowing the girl was already 24 weeks into pregnancy, according to Ester Dotro, the leader of a Collective Feminist group.
Dotro said how the doctor was a religious person and persuaded the mother to keep the girl’s baby because of “personal ideological and religious opinions.” Dotro also added that despite that, she still respected the doctor’s “medical and social work because they have done a lot.”
Eventually, the mother decided what was best for her daughter’s health, and that was continuing with the pregnancy.
The local church the mother and the girl attended organized a baby shower. Pastor Mari of the Ministerial Apostolic and Prophetic Church of Monte Caseros said they did that in order to help the family and didn’t want to comment on the decision about keeping the baby saying, “I am neutral. That is a family decision,” according to Mirror. “We have not given any advice to the family,” the pastor went on to say. “I accept that it is a mother and a very young girl. However, the baby that is coming is a life and the young girl has to be attended psychologically.”
The pastor added how they all hope Horacio will be brought to justice and will pay the consequences.

So far, what we know of the case is that the wrongdoer is still in custody and “a trial is pending a date from the Paso de los Libres Oral Penal Tribunal,” as per Prosecutor Oscar Fabian Soto. The Family and Civil jurisdiction of Monte Caseros has opened a separate case against 31-year-old Horacio.
As for the sweet little girl whose life has changed forever, she gave birth to a baby boy via Cesarean section at the Neonatal Eloisa Torrense de Vidal Hospital. We truly hope she will be able to have a normal life after everything she went through.
Police officers may be dubbed bad my some based on the recent events, but the truth is that most members of the police are always willing to go above and beyond for people in need of help.
It wasn’t any different this time when an officer from Stockton, California, got a call about a boy that seemed to be lost and unable to find his way home. Upon arrival, the officer realized that the boy was autistic and non-verbal, but he somehow managed to persuade him to give him his bus pass so that he could at least learn his name.
Once he gained his trust, the officer asked from the boy to write down any information that could help him track his parents or members of his family down.
The story was shared by the Stockton Police Department (SPD) along with a photo of the officer and the boy. They wanted to restore people’s trust in what they truly do for the community and wrote, “Through this form of communication, the officer was able to locate a family member and the child was safely reunited with a relative, #ItsWhatWeDo.”
Many were glad everything turned great and the officer’s approach helped locate the family. Some of the comments were, “Great training! My son with Autism ran away from school last year. He was found a mile away by a paramedic and SPD. They did an amazing job getting him to communicate and helped him feel safe. Thank you so much for all you do!”
We would like to thank the officer for doing such a great job.
The way we treat animals speaks a lot about us as human beings. However, based on the fact that the number of stray cats and dogs is alarmingly huge, we have to agree that we failed at taking care of all those animals who are homeless and are left to fend for themselves.
And as though living on the street isn’t hard already, many of those animals suffer from mean humans who kick them and chase them away.
Just look at this cruel woman in the video below. The weather is cold and there is snow everywhere and one cat is staying outside. The woman keeps kicking snow onto the feline’s face as the poor cat feels helpless. But then, the animal knows it’s about time for her to stand for herself and does something incredible.
YouTube
The woman is on the ground after the cat defends herself and jumps onto the woman’s face. Honestly, we are glad this mean person got what she deserved. Maybe next time she won’t hurt another animal.
Animal lovers who have seen the video are happy with the outcome. One person wrote “Gotta admire the agility of the cat!! Look at that controlled landing!” Others added, “What a bad ass little kitty!” and “The best thing the cat could do for that idiot lady!”
We say karma at its best, don’t you agree?
Take a look at the video below and tell us what you think.
This has to be the best thing you’ll see all day. Cute babies dancing to the rhythm in perfect sync that make us wonder how is it possible for someone that young to be a better dancer than we’ll ever be.
Twins Reese and Levi got their new Jolly Jumpers and their parents assumed the little ones will have fun using them, but what they didn’t know was that their cute “choreography” will bring so much joy to everyone who saw them dancing to Johnny Cash’s Folsom Prison Blues.
Both babies, who are just 9 months old, are all smiles and love these new jumpers a lot. They are so energetic that it looks like they won’t be getting out off them any time soon.
Many of Johnny Cash’s fans are glad his music continues to live on and that even the youngest generations enjoy his everlasting hits.
Take a look at the video that has been seen over 3.5 million times below and don’t forget to share it with your friends; they’ll love it, too.
Do you remember the times when you dreamed of becoming a police officer, a firefighter, a teacher, or a model? Well, maybe you had other wishes when you were young. The thing is that not many of us get to fulfill those dreams from our younger days. Some, however, like Linda Koebner, never stop working hard on pursuing the profession from her childhood dreams.
This incredible woman has devoted her whole life helping and working with apes. And she knew she would be doing that since always.

As a 23-year-old graduate student, Linda got the assignment of taking care of three chimps who had spent the first six years of their life at a lab. These animals knew nothing about the outside world, so getting used to living at an open space was pretty hard for them. Luckily, Linda was there to teach them how. The first challenge was persuading the chimps to get out of their cages and explore the incredible island in Florida that was now their new home.

Because of their different characters, Linda named her new best friends Doll, Swing and Sparky.
It took her some time, but Linda helped the chimps acclimatize to nature and they soon understood it was how they were supposed to be living their whole lives.

Linda spent four years with Doll, Swing, and Sparky. During that time, they became a family and loved each other unconditionally. However, it was now time for her to go to another job, but she never forgot her chimps.
18 years after they last saw each other, Linda and the chimps reunited. She knew they wouldn’t forget her and the moment she met them she asked, “Remember me?”
Source: Argofilms/YouTube
At first, the animals were cautious, but curious enough to approach closer. As Linda expected, they recognized her, and the reunion is one of the most touching we’ve ever witnessed. Swing was the first to greet the woman he considered his mother. “I am so happy to see you,” Linda said.
Source: Argofilms/YouTube
The four spent a great day together. They hugged, and kissed, and played. Linda couldn’t contain her tears because she missed these loving chimps so very much and was overwhelmed to touch them again.
During the years, 30 more chimps inhabited the island all thanks to Linda, Doll, Swing, and Sparky.
You can take a look at the touching video below. Please share it with your family and friends.
Saying that final goodbye to your pet is the hardest thing ever. The following letter was written by a dog owner named John Pointer but on his best furry pal’s behalf. The words he put on that piece of paper are so deep and emotional that his post shook people from all around the globe and went viral in a matter of days. Those who had to go through the ordeal of seeing their pet crossing the rainbow bridge relate to the grief this man feels for his Benny.
Read the touching letter below.
“Yesterday was a weird day. I couldn’t get myself out of bed. The guy I live with lifted me up. I tried to get my legs under me, but they wouldn’t cooperate. He said, “Don’t worry, I gotcha buddy,” carried me downstairs, and out the front door. That was so nice of him. I needed to pee so badly, I just had to go right there where he put me down. Normally I wouldn’t, but we both decided to make an exception to the rule. I started walking down the parking lot toward that place where all the dogs like me go to poop. I felt my paws dragging on the ground. “How strange,” I thought. Then suddenly, I just had to go, really badly. In the middle of the parking lot. Normally, I wouldn’t do that. It’s against the rules.”
“My person cleaned up the mess. He’s good at that. I felt embarrassed, looked at him, and he said, “Want to keep walking, buddy?” I did, but it was surprisingly tough. By the time we reached the end of the parking lot, my head was spinning. I tried to climb the little hill, and nearly fell over. I couldn’t figure out what was going on. He reached down again, and ran his hands over me. That felt good. He picked me up, and carried me home. I was still confused, and my head was light, but I was glad not to have to walk all the way back. It suddenly seemed like an impossible distance.”
“I was so glad to lay down on my bed. My person petted me, saying, “I gotcha covered, buddy. I gotcha.” I love the way that makes me feel. I know he does. He makes everything better. He felt my paws, and pulled up my lip and said, “Oh buddy, are you cold?” I was. My face was cold, my paws were cold. He texted a few people, and came back to pet me.
A few minutes later, another person arrived. He’s one of my favorites, and his name is Jay. He petted me, and said to my person, “Do you want to get a blanket?” They put a blanket over me, and wow… that felt good. I relaxed, and they both petted me, but they both started to choke back tears.”
“I never want them to cry, it breaks my heart. It’s my job to make them feel better, and I was just a little tired, and cold. I drifted in and out of sleep, and they were always there, making sure I was okay, and chatting with each other.
Throughout the day, my person made some phone calls, and spent a lot of time with me. I heard him say, “9 am tomorrow… ok… yes… I’ll tell you if anything changes. Thank you Dr. MacDonald.” He called someone else, and said, “I’m sorry, I have to cancel tonight.” Then as I was drifting off to sleep, I think I heard him cry a little again.”
“In the evening, more of my favorite people came by. They were all so loving. I licked their tears away when they would get close enough to my face. They whispered sweet things in my ear, and told me I was a good boy. Later in the evening, I felt well enough to stand up and walk to the door to see who was coming in. It was more exhausting than I’d remembered it being, but I loved seeing them all. I heard my person say something like, “That’s the first time he’s gotten up under his own power today.” Everyone seemed glad that I was out of bed. I was too, but wow… after the excitement wore off, it was so exhausting to move around.”
“After the last visitor left, my person took me outside to do what he called, “my business.” We went back inside and when we reached the bottom of the stairs, they looked twice as steep and ten times as long as I remembered them being. I looked at my person, and he looked at me. He said, “Don’t worry, I gotcha buddy,” and carried me up. Then it got even better! Instead of sleeping in my bed, he called me up to sleep on *his* bed. Let me repeat: *I got to sleep in the bed with my person!* We normally have our own beds, but last night we snuggled, and it felt so good to be that close to him. I thought, “This is where I belong. I will never leave his side.” I didn’t feel very well though, and it was hard to breathe sometimes.”
“It seems like it started a few months ago. We were playing fetch and I just blacked out. I don’t know what happened, but I think I stopped breathing. I could hear my person calling my name but I couldn’t move a muscle. He lifted my head, and looked into my eyes. I could see him right there, but couldn’t lick his face. He said, “Benny, are you in there?” I couldn’t respond. He looked at me, and said, “Don’t worry buddy, I gotcha. I gotcha covered.” I started to spin into darkness, but then my lungs took in a deep breath, and I could see again.
We went to see some doctors, and since then I’ve heard a lot of words like, “cardiomyopathy,” “cancer,” and, “kidney failure.” All i know is that sometimes I feel okay, and sometimes… you know… I just don’t. My person gives me pills.”
“This morning, I heard my person get up and take a shower. He came back in the room, and smelled so nice. He helped me get up, but this time, I could do it on my own. We got to the top of the stairs, and wow… they looked long and steep again. He said, “I gotcha buddy,” and carried me down. I did my business, and we came back inside. He opened a can, a really, really delicious can of wet dog food. Oh man… I love that stuff!
Jay showed up again. What a nice surprise! He and my person seemed concerned, but everyone was petting me. It seemed a little like a play, where all the actors were sad, but pretending to be happy. Pretty soon after that, another person showed up. She was wearing doctor pants, and I leaned on her.”
“I heard them talk. Everyone looked at my gums, and felt my paws. I heard the doctor pants lady say, “It’s your decision, but he’s definitely in that window. I don’t want to push you, but looking at his lack of color, I am honestly shocked he’s even standing up. In addition to the paws and jowls, look here…” she pointed at my face, “This should be pink. It’s almost white, and verging toward yellow.”
My person and Jay went inside to talk about something. When they came back out, I heard my person say, “I agree. I don’t want to wait till he’s in absolute agony.” So we went inside. Truth be told, I was feeling pretty badly, even though I was up and walking. It seemed like my whole head was cold, my paws were freezing, and my back legs weren’t working right.”
“The doctor pants lady said, “I’ll just put this into his muscle. It’s a sedative. Then I’ll come back over here, and you can just love on him till he’s asleep.” My person kissed my face, and looked in my eyes. He was trying not to cry. Doctor pants lady gave me a shot of something in the leg. I just looked at my person. He is so awesome and I will always be right by his side.
He and Jay petted me, and said the nicest things – what a good dog I am, what a good job I’ve done, how thankful they are to have me in their lives. After a while, my mind started buzzing. FOCUS! I looked back at my person. I love him so much.”
“I drifted again. FOCUS! I can see my person. I love him so much. I will always be right by his side. He knows that. Am I sleepy? FOCUS! I’ll always look at him with my whole heart…
Doctor pants lady said, “He must have an incredible will to stay with you. He is really powering through. That’s impressive.” My person choked back tears and said, “I know. This guy lives for me. He is the most devoted soul I’ve ever met…” We put our heads together, and closed our eyes. I felt good. I can’t really describe it. We looked at each other again. I just felt like riding that buzz, but maybe lying down was better. My person helped me down. Man, that felt gooooooood.
I felt him and Jay petting me, and heard them talking to me. They love me so much. How lucky am I? Then I felt thousands of hands petting me. Everyone I’d ever known and loved was there, petting me, scratching my ears, and that spot under my collar that makes my leg move. Everyone should try this. It’s just amazing!”
“Then I felt the doctor pants lady touch my leg. Did I tell you that my person had to have both of my knees repaired? They’re titanium, and have served me well, but you know… I’ve been feeling a little creaky lately. With everyone petting me, the doctor pants lady put another needle in my leg, but this time, as the fluid went in, my legs were healed! My knees were perfect! And as I felt it move through my body, my cancer disappeared! And then my kidneys felt better and finally, even my heart was whole, and healthy! I felt like I had sprung away from all of my sickness. Amazing!”
“I saw my person, and Jay, and the lady who lives at our house, Shelly. They seemed to be huddling over something. I walked over to look. It seemed like… I don’t know. It kind of looked like me, but the way I looked when I was feeling really sick, or exhausted. The face was blurred out, so I couldn’t really tell, but that poor guy looked like he had been suffering.
I could tell my person was both relieved and very, very sad. I love him so much. I looked at that me-shaped shell, and I looked at him… I think he was sad about that shell. I jumped around the room, like a clown, but it seemed like they wanted to be somber, and focus on whatever that thing was they were petting and kissing.
But my person was definitely sad. I leaned on him, like I’ve done a million times before, but it wasn’t quite the same. It felt like his body was a cloud and I passed right through him. So I walked up next to him, sat like a good boy, and my heart whispered to his, “Don’t worry, buddy. I gotcha covered.”
I will never leave his side. He knows that.”
John Pointer paid tribute to his dog Benny in the most beautiful way possible. He shared how much his four-legged pal meant to him and how much he will miss his presence in a way that made millions cry. Incredible indeed!
Madeleine McCann disappeared on May 2007 while vacationing with her family in the seaside village of Praia da Luz, in Portugal’s Algarve region.
She was four years old at the time she vanished from the hotel room and was never seen again. The investigation around her disappearance continues up until this day and her mom and dad, who were considered suspects at one point, say they never lost hope of finding their daughter.
Recent developments brought Madeleine’s case under the international spotlight. Authorities were reported to be questioning a new suspect, a German who was living in Portugal at the time of the girl’s disappearance and is serving a prison time for an unrelated crime related to sex and drug offence. This isn’t the first time, however, for the police to have a suspect for Madeleine’s case so we have to wait for the outcome and hope her family will finally get to see their daughter again.
— 00The Jules… 🕵️♀️ 🐌🌸🐌🌸🐌🌸 (@Jules1602xx) May 12, 2020
May 12th would mark Madeleine’s 17 birthday and Bradford University professor Hassan Ugail created a photo of what could she look like today using advanced AI.
According to him, this computer-based modeling system is the best in the world thus he is convinced the representation is accurate.
“We have taken in a huge database of people from different ethnicities, different races and obviously different gender and we have asked the machine-learning algorithm to actually learn about how humans age,” Professor Ugail said.
Madeleine McCann – the little girl who disappeared 13 years back. Today’s her 17th birthday. And we predict this is how she would look like now. #MadeleineMcCannpic.twitter.com/cTqSVZeofY
Ugail explained how people from different races and genders age differently and the algorithm works based on given preferences.
“We take a photo, it doesn’t matter what age the person is really, any age. So in the case of Madeleine it’s when she was three. Then first of all we get a picture of mum and dad and put it into the system and that provides our template and we put the age in as 17. When we say 17, we can’t guarantee that but it will be something like 15 to 17 in a two to three year range.”
He believes the photo will help the search as people may recognize her as someone they know. “Or even better if the police can run it through large databases and then identify potential looking people and then it can help with their investigation,” the professor added.
We pray for Madeleine to be reunited with her family. Please share this photo as it may aid the search.

Ray Drake from Des Moines, Iowa, became paralyzed in 1989 and his two sisters have been taking care of him ever since. The life of people who face paralysis is hard because they struggle to perform even the most basic tasks, but Ray is happy he has someone to rely on whenever he needs anything.
Recently, his hometown was struck by a terrific storm that caused huge destruction. A huge number of people were left without electricity for over a week, a great number of the crops were simply wiped out, and the streets, as well as people’s yards, were left with huge trees broken in half.
Overall, the situation was disastrous.
Ray’s backyard was destroyed as well. Many fallen trees were making it impossible for his sisters to walk through while visiting him, and they knew they had to clean up the mess the storm that lasted for 14 hours left behind.
But where should they start? Although they were aware those trees were a lot for the two of them to handle, they had to start somewhere, so they contacted one of Ray’s school friends and asked for a chainsaw to lend.
Doug Applegate was more than willing to help, but after he saw the photos of his friend’s backyard he knew the sisters needed a lot more than a single chainsaw. What he did next brought Iowans the praise from people from all over the country.
Namely, Doug contacted the local school, Roosevelt High School, and asked from the football team to help. Believe it or not, around 30 teenagers who played for the school team arrived at Ray’s backyard in a matter of hours.
When Ray and his sisters saw the teens, they couldn’t contain their tears and happiness. One of the boys, Jackson Neary, said something that touched many. “That’s just what people in Iowa do. We’re all friendly and help each other out.” This made many want to be residents of Iowa themselves.
Ray couldn’t thank the players enough and kept saying, “I’m blessed. I’m blessed.” These teens really made his day.
They all worked really hard and showed what it means to care for the members of the community. Thank you boys for doing such an incredible thing.

Andrea Bocelli is one of the most famous Italian singers and producers who is known for his specific voice most people call ‘angelic’.
This legendary singer has been partially blind since childhood, but lost his sight completely after he was hit in the eye at a football game. Unfortunately, despite the great number of procedures he had undergone, the doctors could do nothing to restore his sight.
After this, he had found his peace and comfort in the music that he now shares with his son. Recently, Andrea and his son Matteo released the song ‘Fall on me’ from the new album ‘Si’. Their joined performance is so touching that it heals the soul.
YouTube
In just a few days, this amazing performance was seen by over a million people who fell in love with the lyrics and the music video that depicts how deep the father-son bond can be.
Andrea says their voices are very different but the listener can enjoy how they blend together perfectly and are harmonized all along.
YouTube
The video is very emotional and shows intimate photos of the family, from the time Matteo was just a little boy and how they spend time together. Bocelli describes the whole album as “a celebration of love, family, faith, and hope”. And this song really shows all this to those who listened to it. The fans were so thrilled that one of the comments regarding this duo performing together was, “The smile that Andrea makes when Matteo starts to sing was so heartwarming. Love the song. It brought me to tears.”
YouTube
‘Fall on me’ is the first duet between the father and the son, but it triggered so many emotions that we hope there will be more to come.
“All gave some, Some gave all!” Our military men and women are the reason why we all get to live the way we do, freely. These brave people fought and many died to protect our nation and we can never thank them enough for their sacrifice.
One teen from Illinois, Aubrey Headon, paid tribute to 25 fallen soldiers, members of the 3rd Battalion, in a very meaningful and touching way. This girl designed and crafted her prom dress all by her self and although it looks normal from afar, it is everything but ordinary.
YouTube: Inside Edition
The dress has red and white ribbons with the names of the fallen soldiers printed on them.
One of the ribbons is black and is dedicated to the teen’s friend Tyler Smith who drowned and was part of the Illinois Army National Guard. Smith was also a former student at Aubrey’s school, Rochelle Township High School in Rochelle, Illinois.
YouTube: Inside Edition
Aubrey spent two years making her dress and she was inspired to create it after she met Gretchen Catherwood, mother of a fallen soldier. Gretchen founded the Darkhorse Lodge, an organization that helps combat veterans, and Audrey was so fascinated with this grieving mother’s work that she felt she should contribute in honoring the heroes herself.
Speaking to Inside Edition, the young lady said, “I don’t want them to fade into nothing.”
Aubrey’s dress resembles the American flag and everyone who has seen it is fascinated by the way it looks and the story it tells. “That’s one beautifully thought out dress. Thank you for respecting the fallen on a special day for you ♡,” one person wrote. “She truly understands where her freedom comes from,” someone else added. Many agree Aubrey is a true patriot and that more young people should be like her and show their respect whenever possible.
Take a look at Aubrey’s dress and story in the video below. She truly is an awesome young lady.
Little kids can never be trusted to be left on their own, sometimes not even for a second, because they are very likely to get themselves into trouble when no one’s watching. From accidentally breaking things around the house, to throwing things around and making a mess, one can never assume what they would do next. But that’s just a normal phase every child goes through. I am sure you remember some of the stupid things you did when you were just a kid yourself.
Sweet Ansleigh went a step further and cut all her hair off while her dad wasn’t paying a close eye on her so she ended up with a mullet.
YouTube
From her facial expression and her teary eyes we can say she is aware she wasn’t supposed to cut her hair on her own. However, she provides the perfect reason for her action and says she was inspired by Jessica. When dad says that Miss Jessica is allowed to cut people’s hair because she went to school for it, Ansleigh “accuses” him for not letting her practice enough and people simply can’t contain their laughter over the girl’s reasoning.
However, everything turns out fine at the end after they come to an agreement that daddy will let her practice cutting hair more often in the future when she gets older.

Although it has been 19 years since America was a target of the terrorist attack that took place on September 11 in which around 3.000 people lost their life, we still remember it like it was yesterday.
9/11 stands for sorrow and grief, but it also shows the patriotism of our citizens. On that day, everyone stood together against those who harmed the country and its people. The whole world was mourning the lost lives and people from every corner of the Earth empathized with the Americans.
In those tough times, the American brand Budweiser aired a commercial that touched the hearts of many. It’s so emotional, it makes even the toughest people cry.
YouTube
The commercial features the company’s signature horses, the Clydesdales, who are shown making their way through New York City. As they pass the Statue of Liberty and cross the Brooklyn Bridge, they stop at the park and gaze at the skyline.
Finally, they get to the spot where once the Twin Towers stood and bow their heads in respect.
YouTube
The message they spread is ‘never forget and don’t ever let that happen again.’
The commercial only aired again on the 10th anniversary of the attack. “We feel our 9/11 Clydesdales tribute ad is very special,” Paul Chibe, VP-marketing at Anheuser-Busch, said in a statement. “We were proud to re-air the spot on Sunday, the 10th anniversary, as a way to help raise awareness of the fundraising campaign for the National September 11 Memorial & Museum. The subtle changes in the ad were intended to reflect the passing of time, and the most important point, that we should never forget those lost and affected by 9/11.”

Even in the year of 2020, homelessness remains one of the biggest social issues many countries, among which America face. The paradox of this problem lies in the fact that as the state’s economy grows stronger, the number of people on the streets gets higher. Some of the reasons why individuals find themselves without a roof over their head are the lack of affordable housing, unemployment, poverty, and low wages.
Many times these people end up spending their days under bridges, sleeping on cardboard boxes, depending on the generosity of kindhearted people who are willing to give them a buck or two or buy them something to eat.

The following is the story of a homeless man who got to learn what it feels like to be treated with respect. Because no matter how sad it sounds, homeless people lack the respect of the rest of the members of the society.
When he entered into Huey’s, a popular restaurant in Memphis, Tennessee the guy hoped to get something to eat.
The Huey’s bartender, Beck, could see how hungry the man was, so he greeted him saying: “What can I get you man?”
The homeless guy asked whether he could get anything for the $2 he had in his pocket.

Beck didn’t skip a beat. He asked,
“What you want man, a burger? Do you want fries or onion rings?”
The man was so touched that he only said “Good bless you” as the bartender proceeded taking his order.
“What do you want to drink?”
He could have get anything, but he chose water. It was 100 degrees that day and the man was obviously very thirsty.
Dawn who witnessed the whole thing unfolding in front of her later took to Facebook to talk about the encounter. She wrote:
“They gave the food to him to go and I swear when it came out it was way more than he ordered or paid for … I say cheers to Beck for having a HEART.”
Facebook/Dawn Wilt
Dawn went further saying how Beck resembled the bartender from the classic movie “It’s a Wonderful Life,” where every time a bell rings, an angel gets his wings.
She then added: “Beck, you get the wings today. Made my heart smile.”
Many people took their time to comment on this amazingly kind gesture, praising Beck for his heart of gold. One woman said how we should all take a lesson from this story, and we can’t agree more.

Dubbed the “Rap God,” Eminem, born Marshal Matters, has won the world some thirty years ago and is still an icon. He stunned many with his ability to rattle off lyrics with such a speed that impresses even today. His songs are meaningful and deep and most of them express his personal struggles a lot of people can relate to.

Throughout the years, he accomplished a lot and won numerous awards, but this rapper considers being a good dad his greatest accomplishment in life. He has three daughters, Hailie, his biological child whom he had with his school sweetheart, infamous Kimberly Anne “Kim” Scott. His adopted daughter Whitney Scott Matters is Hailie’s half-sister and Eminem’s ex’s biological child. After Kim and her then boyfriend started using substances and got addicted, Eminem stepped in for Whitney. The rapper’s second adopted daughter is Alaina Marie Mathers, whose mom is Kim’s twin sister, Dawn Scott.
YouTube
Eminem is a devoted father and very proud of his girls.
His daughter Hailie was raised in Detroit, Michigan, and her time was split between her parents’ after the two separated. Despite her dad being one of the most famous names in the world, she never really lived under the spotlight. Hailie did appear in some of her dad’s music spots, like “Mockingbird,” when she was still just a little child, but never followed into his footsteps.

Today, she’s 24 years old and has an Instagram account with more than 2 million followers. Hailie is an influencer who often posts beauty tips. Although she never posts photos of her dad, she says the two are extremely close.
“She has been my main source of drive and motivation, especially when she was first born. I did not have a career yet, I did not have money, I did not have a place to live. I think that kicked me in the a *** harder knowing, ‘How am I going to raise her?”, he said in 2002.
“She’s always been the driving force for me to stay busy, stay focused, always been my number one reason for fear of failure. I can’t fail. I can’t have her grow up and not be able to say, ‘My dad succeeded”.
Eminem only spoke of Hailie in a handful of interviews because he wanted to protect her and keep her out of the public eye. Recently, however, he went on Mike Tyson’s podcast, “Hotboxin’ with Mike Tyson,” and spoke of his fatherhood.
Asked about Hailie, he said he couldn’t believe how fast she grew up. “No babies, she has a boyfriend, but she’s doing good. She’s made me proud for sure. She’s graduated from college.”
“I have a niece that I have helped raised, too, pretty much like a daughter to me, and she is 26,” he said of his daughters on the podcast. “And then I have a younger one that’s 17 now. So when I think about my accomplishments like that’s probably the thing that I’m the most proud of, you know, is that — is being able to raise kids.”
Source close to the family said that Hailie and boyfriend Evan McClintock started dating four years ago and are serious.
“Evan studied economics and is a keen golfer, there’s a huge difference! Hailie’s family have welcomed Evan, they are a fantastic young couple who love cosy nights in rather than hard partying,” the source told Daily Mail.
Eminem is an incredible father and an example that no matter what life brings and no matter the troubled upbringing one can turn into an amazing parent just the way he did. His daughters are happy to have such father figure in their lives.
Sir Sean Connery is the first actor to have portrayed the intelligence officer James Bond on film. The Scottish actor and producer who is now retired marked an era in the movie industry. His talent and incredible looks dubbed him one of the most handsome individuals of Hollywood. Today, Sir Connery is 90 years old and enjoys his days off-screen.
The role of agent 007 earned Sir Connery numerous awards, but it was his role in The Untouchables that brought him an Academy Awards.
With a career spanning over 55 years, Sir Connery decided to call it quits after his last movie The League of Gentlemen was panned by critics. Sir Connery said how it was his team and the director to blame for the failure. “The experience had a great influence on me, it made me think about showbiz. I get fed up dealing with idiots,” he was cited saying at The Times newspaper.
BoxOfficeProphets even wrote how that movie was the reason why Sir Connery decided to retire. However, he didn’t announce his retirement until three years later.
In 2006, he received the American Film Institute’s lifetime achievement award.

Asked whether he’s thinking of accepting a role in a film in the future, Sir Connery said he could consider taking part in an Indiana Jones movie, but after some serious talks with Steven Spielberg about playing Indiana Jones’ father, Dr. Henry in Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull he still decided not to get out of retirement. The film got positive reviews by the critics but Sir Connery didn’t regret not being part of it as he seems to be having awesome time not working any longer.

However, those who know him best believe that despite his age, Sir Connery would still consider filming if he is offered a role he would love. Sir Michael Caine spoke of his long time friend with The Telegraph newspaper and was reported saying, “He (Connery) didn’t want to play small parts about old men and they weren’t offering him any young parts in romantic leads.”
Throughout the years, this amazing actor offered a lot to his fans and to Hollywood in general and we believe he deserves to take some rest from acting.
