The bond between twins is like no other. There are many documentaries and research that claim twins have the power to feel each other’s pain, as well as happiness. Many times, their relationship is endowed with extraordinary, telepathic, qualities.
Having a twin means having a friend for life. You can always have someone to rely on, even during the toughest of times. But what’s more, you will also have someone to laugh together with, such as these two adorable babies who melted our hearts.
The only thing they need in order to have a good laugh is to look at each other, and that’s it. Their laughter is so loud and contagious that it makes us join in. Their parents must be really happy to have such joyful children.
It’s so entertaining how they simply can’t stop the laughter while tapping on the floor with their tiny hands. Oh boy, these two know how to have fun.
Take a look at the video below and enjoy the giggle-fest.
The name of Doria Ragland became well known to all of us since her daughter Meghan became a Duchess and got married to the most eligible bachelor of Britain at that time, Prince Harry.
A source close to the Buckingham Palace told Express that Her Majesty The Queen has invited Doria to attend this years Christmas celebration at the Sangringham country estate, Norfolk, along with the rest of the royal family. This wouldn’t be awkward if we know that the rest of the in-laws, Kate’s parents, haven’t been invited.
Reportedly, 62-year-old Doria who works as a social worker for the Didi Hirsch Mental Health Services clinic in LA, has started preparing for her stay in England.
The unnamed royal source believes that the invite hasn’t been extended to Kate Middleton’s family but to Meghan’s only because it’s a practical gesture for the family’s only foreign-born and raised member. The source says, “It’s a mark of the Queen’s respect for Meghan and an acknowledgment that she doesn’t have any other relations in this country – unlike Kate who has the support of a very close family.”
While we believe that this makes sense, we hope there will be no hard feelings involved and that this won’t cause tension between the Queen and Prince William. Although the Middletons have attended Christmas church services with the royal family, they haven’t spent a holiday in the palace.
We believe that this invite is a nice gesture because Meghan’s mother lives in another country and the two don’t get to spend time together, so this will be a perfect chance for the family to get closer.

If you haven’t heard of the condition called “laryngospasm” let us tell you that it’s a sudden spasm of the vocal cords which prevents the person affected to speak or breath properly. Now, if you think this is something frightening, you are right.
But a group of four certified registered nurse anesthetists though it would be fun if they perform medically-themed parody songs under the funny-sounding name of “Laryngospasm”, and it might be the best thing you’ve seen and heard so far.
The founder of the group is anesthetist Gary Cozine who finds inspiration for the hilarious music they perform in their everyday life as medical staff. They tried to replace the fear related to their group’s name with laughter, and they did just the right thing.
These cool guys tell us that no matter how serious and important their job is, it doesn’t mean they can’t some fun along the way.
Their latest performance is taking the Internet by storm.
YouTube
The group was formed way back, while the members were studying for their nursing degrees. They performed for the first time in front of attendees at the student’s Christmas party at the Minneapolis School of Anesthesia ten years ago.
Wanting to relieve the stress of the exams, the talented medical musicians sang a parody of Neil Sedaka’s popular song ‘Breaking Up Is Hard To Do’ which they renamed into ‘Waking Up Is Hard To Do.’ Not only they sang perfectly, but they also rocked their outfits consisting of their scrubs and microphones.
The audience was cheering in laughter and everyone was amazed by the hilarious performance.
YouTube
Now, we are happy to announce that the group is singing the song again, and even shots an official video for it. Again, dressed in their working outfits, in an operating theater they borrowed, The Laryngospasms give us a once in a lifetime experience. They are definitely the best performers of parody songs. You may even check their YouTube channel for more amazing videos.

Those nine months of pregnancy are pretty memorable and exciting part of every woman’s life because that’s when she gets to prepare for the big arrival of her child. Even though many mothers-to-be fear the actual act of delivering the baby, the doctors do everything in their power to ease the labor pain using kind and encouraging words along with the epidural.
However, one woman from Las Vegas, Alex Sims, shares her story and it gives us chills. What was supposed to be one of her best days of life, turned into an awful experience.
When she arrived at the Sunrise Hospital, she was told that Dr. Frank DeLee would help her deliver her baby. Unfortunately, they soon realized the doctor was intoxicated.
Alex’s mother said how she could smell alcohol in the doctor’s breath. That was pretty concerning, knowing he was about to attend a delivery. During a conversation with his staff, he told them how he had just got from a bar straight into the delivery room.
“I smelled alcohol,” Sheree recalled. “That’s what preceded the conversation about him coming from the bar. Because I said, ‘Oh, he smells like alcohol.’”
When Alex started complaining how the epidural started wearing off, the doctor started calling her names and didn’t do anything to help her with the unbearable pain she was experiencing. That’s when the mother took her phone out and started recording the whole thing.
Those who have seen the footage were shocked. No one could believe that a doctor on the job could act like that. His behavior was unprofessional.
“Wasn’t that many people in the bar when I left,” he told one of the nurses.
“I’m sorry. Did you waste a drink?” she asked.
The most shocking of all is that doctor DeLee was wearing shorts and was barefoot which can be clearly seen from the footage.
“I kept telling the doctor, ‘I can feel everything. I think the epidural wore off,’” Alex recalled. “And he’s like, ‘Oh just scoot your fat ass down,’ and, ‘Oh, I bet you wish your doctor would have came back in town.’”
“It was just jaw-dropping,” she said later. “I just couldn’t fathom why all this was going on in the midst of me having a child.”
Alex is now suing the doctor for negligence. The nurses are not spared because they are the ones who should have intervened once they realized the doctor was drunk. She and her mom want to make sure he won’t hurt any other woman in the future.
“Someone needs to be accountable,” she said. “And I just feel like, if I don’t speak up for my child, who will?”
If you are looking for some fun, we guarantee you these exchanges between pilots, flight attendants, and passengers are going to make you laugh. The great thing is that these are real conversations that have been heard and shared by people. Enjoy!
1. A pilot who was a little too honest.
On a Continental Flight with a very “senior” Flight Attendant crew, the Pilot said, “Ladies and gentlemen, we’ve reached cruising altitude and will be turning down the cabin lights. This is for your comfort and to enhance the appearance of your Flight Attendants.
2. A flight attendant’s friendly reminder.
On landing, the Stewardess said, “Please be sure to take all of your belongings. If you’re going to leave anything, please make sure it’s something we’d like to have.”
3. This flight attendant who had a pretty good point.
There may be 50 ways to leave your lover, but there are only 4 ways out of this airplane”
4. This airline that was keeping it real.
“Thank you for flying Delta Business Express. We hope you enjoyed giving us the business as much as we enjoyed taking you for a ride.”
5. This pilot who was keeping it even realer.
After a particularly rough landing during thunderstorms in Memphis, a Flight Attendant on a Northwest flight announced, “Please take care when opening the overhead compartments because, after a landing like that, sure as hell everything has shifted.”
6. Couldn’t agree more.
From a Southwest Airlines employee: “Welcome aboard Southwest Flight 245 to Tampa. To operate your seat belt, insert the metal tab into the buckle, and pull tight. It works just like every other seat belt; and, if you don’t know how to operate one, you probably shouldn’t be out in public unsupervised.”
7. Good thing I was always the favorite.
“In the event of a sudden loss of cabin pressure, masks will descend from the ceiling. Stop screaming, grab the mask, and pull it over your face. If you have a small child traveling with you, secure your mask before assisting with theirs. If you are traveling with more than one small child, pick your favorite.”
8. Perfect.
Weather at our destination is 50 degrees with some broken clouds, but we’ll try to have them fixed before we arrive. Thank you, and remember, nobody loves you, or your money, more than Southwest Airlines.”
9. Who doesn’t love freebies?
“Your seat cushions can be used for flotation; and, in the event of an emergency water landing, please paddle to shore and take them with our compliments.”
10. Amen.
“As you exit the plane, make sure to gather all of your belongings. Anything left behind will be distributed evenly among the flight attendants. Please do not leave children or spouses.”
11. 🙁
And from the Pilot during his welcome message: “Delta Airlines is pleased to have some of the best Flight Attendants in the industry. Unfortunately, none of them are on this flight!”
12. Can’t argue with this one.
Heard on Southwest Airlines just after a very hard landing in Salt lake City: The Flight Attendant came on the intercom and said, “That was quite a bump, and I know what y’all are thinking. I’m here to tell you it wasn’t the Airline’s fault, it wasn’t the Pilot’s fault, it wasn’t the Flight Attendant’s fault. It was the asphalt.”
13. Overheard on an American Airlines flight into Amarillo, Texas, on a particularly windy and bumpy day: During the final approach, the Captain was really having to fight it. After an extremely hard landing, the Flight Attendant said, “ladies and Gentlemen, welcome to Amarillo. Please remain in your seats with your seat belts fastened while the Captain taxis what’s left of our airplane to the gate!”
14. Practice makes perfect, right?
Another Flight Attendant’s comment on a less than perfect landing. “We ask you to please remain seated as Captain Kangaroo bounces us to the terminal.”
15. Little old ladies are the best.
An Airline Pilot wrote that on this particular flight he had hammered his ship into the runway really hard. The Airline had a policy which required the First Officer to stand at the door while the Passengers exited, smile, and give them a “Thanks for flying our Airline.” He said that, in light of his bad landing, he had a hard time looking the passengers in the eye, thinking that someone would have a smart comment. Finally everyone had gotten off except for a little old lady walking with a cane. She said, “Sir, do you mind if I ask you a question?” “Why, no, Ma’am,” said the Pilot. “What is it?” The little old lady said, “Did we land, or were we shot down?”
16. I may have been on this flight.
After a real crusher of a landing in Phoenix, the Attendant came on with, “Ladies and Gentlemen, please remain in your seats until Capt. Crash and the Crew have brought the aircraft to a screeching halt against the gate. And, once the tire smoke has cleared and the warning bells are silenced, we’ll open the door and you can pick your way through the wreckage to the terminal.”
17. Always.
Part of a Flight Attendant’s arrival announcement: “We’d like to thank you folks for flying with us today. And, the next time you get the insane urge to go blasting through the skies in a pressurized metal tube, we hope you’ll think of US Airways.”
18. The best one.
A plane was taking off from Kennedy Airport. After it reached a comfortable cruising altitude, the Captain made an announcement over the intercom, “Ladies and gentlemen, this is your Captain speaking. Welcome to Flight Number 293, nonstop from New York to Los Angeles. The weather ahead is good and, therefore, we should have a smooth and uneventful flight. Now sit back and relax… OH, MY GOD!” — Silence followed, and after a few minutes, the Captain came back on the intercom and said, “Ladies and Gentlemen, I am so sorry if I scared you earlier. While I was talking to you, the Flight Attendant accidentally spilled a cup of hot coffee in my lap. You should see the front of my pants!” A passenger in Coach yelled, “That’s nothing. You should see the back of mine!”
A man from Portland, Oregon, was recently fired from his job only because he acted upon the belief that he had to step in and offer help to someone in need. Yes, you’ve heard that right, Reagan is now left without an income because he did the right thing, and we are outraged.
While working at the Home Depot, Reagan and his co-worker heard screaming coming from the parking lot. They didn’t hesitate to approach and see what was going on, when they realized it was a violent domestic dispute between a husband and a wife. Reagan told KGW:
“At the time, the only thing I was thinking about was the child’s safety,” said Regan who worked at the Home Depot for four years. “I stepped outside and sure enough, there’s this lady whose frantic and crying, ‘Somebody help me, please! He’s stealing my kid, he’s kidnapping my child!”
Dillon Reagan says he was fired from Home Depot for doing the right thing. “Because you assisted the police in preventing a kidnapping.” pic.twitter.com/GwEfFMs6yK
Once they informed the police about the incident, Reagan was asked to follow the suspect until police arrived. And that’s exactly what he did. He followed the man for three blocks.
“There was any number of twists or turns that he could have taken once he got off the premises that the police wouldn’t have known where to look for him. I think I did the right thing,” Reagan told ABC 6. “I broke the safety violation of leaving the store premises while on duty.”
After the police came to the scene, Reagan went back to his post. But instead receiving a praise for his brave action, he got axed.

“It was still the right thing to do,” Reagan said. “I was kind of in a catch-22 situation, I’m damned if I do, damned if I don’t.”
However, once the manager and the Home Depot got the news from the local news stations, they quickly reassessed their decision and figured out they did a mistake.
“This is a very complex situation, so we’re taking another look at the decision,” they told KGW.com. “We always want to be certain that we’re treating any associate fairly.”
Eventually, they issued the following statement.
“We took a second look at this and have let Mr. Reagan know that we’ve decided to reverse our decision, based on the circumstances. We always do our dilligence to make sure associates are treated fairly, which we’ve done in this case.”

But Reagan is no longer interested in the job. We really hope he will soon find another job in a company where he will be respected.
“We should be doing the right thing regardless of what company policy is, regardless of what the consequence is,” Regan told KGW.com. “What’s good and what’s right supersedes what’s policy and what’s orders. Hands down.”
To be honest, not many people understand what it feels like to have a child with Down Syndrome. These children are adorable, sympathetic, and have a lot of love to give, but they can also be challenging at times. That is why people should be considerate of their condition and embrace them, instead of looking at them as they are different.
Jay is a 10-year-old boy with Down syndrome who enjoys spending time in the local Tesco supermarket.

What makes him happy is walking around the place and chatting with the customers. But what he is most thrilled about is the store’s counter. It looks like he can spend hours looking at the lights and the buttons, and listening to the sounds. His father David, told BBC News:
“If you have a child with a learning challenge or a challenging behavior then you know just how traumatic it can sometimes be when out in a place like a busy supermarket.”
Source: David Burke Jr./Facebook
He loves taking his son with him and uses every minute of his spare time with his son, but as he says, “going shopping with a child with special needs can be difficult.” The sad truth is that what makes it difficult are the people who are judgmental and stare as though they’ve never seen a person with a Down Syndrome before.
David tells the story about their latest shopping experience, when Jay stood in front of a closed check-out lane and refused to move. He pretended to be an employee there and had fun, while David was trying to get him out of there, he was so into the role that he didn’t listen to his father.
“I was trying to get him out from behind the till, but Jay decided he wanted to work at Tesco that day,” the father later revealed.

As David felt uncomfortable because of all those people looking at them, the store’s manager James approached and did something truly amazing. He opened the aisle so that Jay could check out his family’s groceries for real.

Wow, this was so huge for Jay who was really excited to be behind the check-out counter. “A massive well done to the staff,” said David.
“Jay was thrilled to bits. “
“He felt like a worker and it just warmed my heart to see how focused he was and how much he was enjoying himself.”

Apparently, this wasn’t the first time for the staff of Great Horton Tesco to show kindness to the young boy. David told BBC News:
“Everyone there always makes a huge effort into making shopping that bit easier for us.”

People were happy to see what the manager did, and once the footage of the kind deed was shared on YouTube it was seen by a great number of people who praised the manager’s action.

Unfortunately, many of us know or have someone in our life who battled the most widely spread disease of today, the cancer. It is the second-leading cause of death in the United States, and this malicious disease affects the lives of everyone around the patient.
We only hope that with the advance of medicine and as a result of the numerous research done by most renowned specialist around the world, the cure will be soon discovered and available.

These days, most people are torn between the number of responsibilities they have, such as their job, providing for the kids, paying bills, and many more. Dianna is a mother who experiences the stress of everyday life, like most of us. But there is something that adds to her tough life, and that’s the Stage IV Hodgkins Lymphoma. That is a condition when the cancer spreads “to one or more organs outside of the lymphatic system such as the bone marrow or liver.” Her battle started on the Christmas Eve of 2013 and continues ever since.

Even though having cancer is devastating, Dianna is happy to have people around her who give her hope and tell her how much they care, among which her lovely daughter McKenna. This beautiful mother-daughter duo caught our attention when we saw beautiful McKenna performing “I’m Gonna Love You Through It” by country star Martina McBride. This emotional performance truly touched our hearts.

When we first saw them, little McKenna was performing the song at what appeared to be a birthday celebration. Once she grabbed the microphone everyone was left stunned by the tiny singer.
“You let go, I hold on,”
The mother was so touched by her daughter singing that she couldn’t hold her tears back. The crowd is as amazed and as touched as the mother.
“Just take my hand…I’m gonna love you through it.”
The love and devotion the mother and daughter have for one another is very special and unique. We can even sense the love between them as we watched the amazing video. At the end of the performance, McKenna receives a huge kiss and a hug from her mother, who is proud of her little daughter.

The video was soon noticed by our favorite talk-show host Ellen, who shared it on her Facebook page and her YouTube channel, and that’s when many people got to witness the touching moment Dianna and McKenna shared together. Everyone wanted to learn more about these mother and daughter, and that’s exactly what happened when Ellen invited them to be her guests. We can see from the conversation how much Dianna has gone through and how strong she really is. Ellen tells the audience how Dianna and her daughter will be singing together on her show, but this time, someone else will be joining in their performance.

Martina McBride comes to the stage holding hands with McKenna and everyone knows what follows is another amazing performance the audience is eager to see. Little McKenna is as adorable as always and acts on stage like a real professional. The crowd is left in tears of emotions.
We hope that her daughter’s support will give Dianna the strength to keep fighting the cancer. All we pray for is for her to be cancer free and have a beautiful life ahead together with her loving family.
Divorce can be really devastating. It’s a complex process after which two lives are deeply affected and changed forever. And no matter the hatred between the now estranged couple, there is still one part that will care for the well-being of the other, even if we don’t like to confess that.
Adam divorced his wife and how shared an eye-opening letter for the person who will love his wife after him.
This is definitely worth reading.
“To the one who loves her next,
She’s terrified of spiders. So when you’re out late with friends and she texts you freaking out because there’s one on her window, please go kill it. She won’t sleep otherwise.
She is a total textbook introvert. She won’t reply for hours and sometimes you won’t see her for a week. You will take this personally. Don’t. She’s simply taking care of herself and she’ll tell you how much she missed you while she was away.
She’ll get very jealous. My god, she gets so jealous. Those brown eyes will turn a deep green. She hates that about herself, and she doesn’t mean to do it. Remember, she loves you. Reassure her that you love her too.
On that topic, she needs constant reassurance. Tell her you love her and mean it. If you can’t do that, leave. She deserves more than that.
There will be nights when she goes out and drinks a little too much. She’ll call you to bring her home. When you do, she’ll try to keep you up all night by tickling you and repeating “I love you and I’m sorry I’m annoying.” She’s not annoying. But make sure she has plenty of water and don’t let her pass out until she drinks it, or she will be miserable in the morning.
She is the most independent woman I know. But she’s so insecure, it still breaks my heart. So when she starts an argument with “you don’t love me.” Do not get upset. Remind her you do and the reasons why. She’ll come around.
The cat comes first. Always. Don’t ever think otherwise.
Make her tea and remember the way she takes her coffee. She will notice.
When she’s having an anxiety attack, wrap her up in your arms and rub her back. Tell her she’s safe and remind her that she has medication if she needs it.
If you cannot treat her like royalty, let someone else. That girl deserves the world.
Losing her is a pain you will never shake. Your world will come crashing down on you and those pieces won’t ever fit the way they used to. Don’t let her go.
She will love you with all she’s got. Please give her the same.
I am begging you to not hurt her. She is golden. Don’t let that shine die out.
Give her your all and she’ll return the favor. You will never have to ask the universe for anything ever again.
From, A name you’ll hear in passing.”
Adam’s words have the power to make you feel the need to tell your spouse how much you love them, and how much you care. Please share this letter with your friends.
Men are considered to be strong and tough, but it seems it’s like that until they catch a cold or a flu. That’s when they act as though they are on the brink of death. Women on the other hand get furious because they know how their spouses and boyfriends are simply overreacting. This topic has become so widespread that there are lots of hilarious memes online that compare men and women while having flu. And while females pick themselves up, visit the doctor, and then move on running all the errands, males can’t get out of bed, and they look like their world is crumbling down.
One wife has had it enough, so she decided to share her husband’s “Man Flu” story with Love What Matters.
Facebook/Strollin With My Homies
She recalls the hilarious situation that took place a couple of years ago when the whole family contracted the flu. Although she was pregnant, it didn’t stop her husband, Ty, from having a breakdown.
“I’m sitting upstairs right now and both toddlers are downstairs with my husband and nasty colds. You know what that means? The ‘man flu’ season is coming. It might not even be the flu, it could just be a cold, but he’ll treat it like the plague because it happens every year like clockwork. Just as sure as the sun rises and sets, I can count on him to be completely useless for a solid week if he so much as sneezes.
Throw it back to 2014. I was about 9 weeks pregnant with Cora and Sadie was 6 months old. From the moment I woke up, I was violently puking all day. In the car. Out of the window. During our errands. I was miserable and nauseous but worked through it because #MOMLIFE. I honestly thought I had killer morning sickness or possibly a stomach bug so I went with it. Then 6 p.m. rolls around… it was definitely not morning sickness because I watched my husband transform right before my eyes, stumbling around saying he’s going to puke. Grreeeeeat. The moment he says he’s feeling sick, my eyes automatically roll into the back of my head and touch my spine. Instant dread.
Stage 1: Give this man a chance. Try the sweet approach.
‘Ok babe. You’re going to be fine. Just go to the bathroom and try to relax.’
Did he take my advice? Nope. First stop is our kitchen sink. He pukes all over a week’s worth of dirty dishes. He’s obnoxiously loud when he’s barfing to make sure I know this is the real deal. The neighbors know it’s the real deal. The next town over knows too. Cue me hating my life.”
Facebook/Strollin With My Homies
Sydney’s “kind approach” quickly went out the window when she stepped into the bathroom and saw what he had done.
“Stage 2: This is the actual worst and I’m going to kill him.
‘Seriously Ty?! Go into the bathroom!! Why would you do that?! It’s like 5 feet away and the garbage can is RIGHT HERE.’
He starts waddling to the bathroom and I breathe a sigh of relief. Thank God he’s in there, maybe he’ll pull it together. PSYCH. He’s being so noisy and dramatic with his heaving that I have no choice but to check on him and pretend I don’t want to murder him. I walk in and encounter vomit. Everywhere. But not in the toilet folks, nawwwww. In the bathtub. The freaking bathtub. BUT. WHY.
Stage 3: There’s no turning back, he’s committed.
He lays on the floor with his eyes closed and starts moaning ‘Syd. Syyydd. I can’t. I can’t see.’
Brain: Oh Jesus so now he can’t see? Is this a joke. He has a flu symptom that doesn’t even exist. Actually, I can’t. I should probably leave. Where is this dude’s mom?
‘What are you even talking about?! That’s not real life!! Open your eyes. We don’t have time for this. GET UP. NOW. RIGHT NOW.’
My voice was really serious at this point. He knew he poked the bear way too hard, or so I thought. He took the alternative route and decided to become unresponsive. Yes. Literally. He played dead like a possum. I’m standing over him about to puke myself and he starts whispering:
Rather than fight her husband’s pleas, she decided to call his bluff! The ambulance was coming, whether he was really on his deathbed or not.
“Stage 4: This man just told me to call 911.
Hold the phone: You want me to dial 9-1-1 and say what? My grown husband has an upset stomach? He stops responding to me AGAIN and mumbles incoherently. He’s rolling around like a pig… in his own barf that’s everywhere but the toilet. I decide to try and call his bluff.
‘Do you need me to call 911?? We just have the stomach flu and I’M PREGNANT. I’m tired. You’re telling me I am going to pick up the phone and say this is an emergency. You know they’re going to actually come here RIGHT? Right? I’m gonna do it. I’m dead serious.’
He was sick for maybe an hour, tops, at this point. He’s a first responder. He’s the father of my children. He’s my best friend. He’s a combat vet. He’s a devil dog. He’s a biiiiigg baby. And then I made the dreaded call.
Dispatch: 911 what’s your emergency?
Me: Ugh. Hi. How are you? Ughhhh. It’s my husband. He’s. I don’t know, he’s umm… He’s throwing up.
Dispatch: …Ok? Are there any other symptoms?
Me: He can’t see. Or talk. Or move. He’s basically unresponsive.
Dispatch: Any chest pain or shortness of breath, ma’am?
Me: (whispering into the phone) Oh God, no… he has *the flu*
Now I’m mortified because I just called 911 for the man flu. I tell him help is on the way. He fully grasps what I’ve done and says, ‘No Syd, wait. seriously wait. I think I pooped my pants.’
‘Scuse me?
Stage 5: I just called 911, someone pooped themselves, the countdown begins.
I morph into Bambi’s father.
‘Get up Ty. GET UP! You MUST GET UP! Dude, the paramedics are on their way and you pooped your pants?! You’re NEXT TO THE TOILET?! Why wouldn’t you poop on the toilet?! Why are you doing this to me?!’
I’m panicking because I know I’m about to be embarrassed. I start trying to pull down his pants while he lays like a corpse. No luck. Then a lightbulb clicks in his head… He realizes there’s a really good chance he’ll know one of these paramedics and he miraculously found the strength to haul his butt to our room to change. The paramedics get to our house and I’m standing there with the worst case of resting bitch face. EVER. They ask him what his symptoms are and I’m dying to call him out.
Guys, it’s like an angel came down from Heaven and cured him right there on the spot. All of a sudden he could talk again. He could walk again. He could even see again like a Christmas miracle. They proceed to tell me I need to follow behind them to the hospital because he was going via ambulance. For the flu. That I gave him. I drive my pregnant butt alone to the hospital while puking in a plastic bag with my husband in front of me on a stretcher being doted on. It’s the first and last time I’ve ever considered divorce.”

Once they reached the hospital, the doctor wanted to monitor Sydney because of the flu and her pregnancy, so she stayed at the hospital. She really hated to be spending the time there and was thinking how to get even with her husband.
“Stage 6: Nurses are the bomb
I finally find his room and I’m throwing up while answering questions for him because he’s back at it again playing possum. He isn’t answering anyone and the nurse spotted that man flu [stuff] from a mile away. We made eye contact and nodded. Solidarity.
She’s all, ‘SIR. GET IT TOGETHER. YOU NEED TO GET IT TOGETHER. DO YOU UNDERSTAND ME?’
And I’m all, ‘THANK YOU, JESUS. SING IT, SISTER.’
They find out I’m with child and decide to admit me as well because, apparently, the flu is usually only dangerous for pregnant women, elderly and newborns. Now I’m livid. We get our IVs. The nurses keep coming in to give me the ‘I’m so sorry’ look. The nod all women know. When someone says their man is sick we take a moment of silence for each other. United we stand.
We were finally sent home and he’s trying to chat it up in the car like nothing happened. Nothing to see here folks. That heinous act of horror wasn’t real. But it was. I have to go get the baby from my parent’s the next morning because he’s too sick (I’m still sick with what I gave him). I was up all night and I come home to what?
Stage 7: A whole lotta NO.
A fresh batch of puke that ain’t in the toilet. I was positive the dog also pooped in the house. Sure didn’t. That would be my husband. Again. Just to remind me how sick he was, he re-offended the house while I was gone. I made him wear one of those bird flu masks and didn’t talk to him for a solid 3 days. I locked myself in our bedroom until he was ready to come back to Earth. To this day, it’s still a touchy subject in our house. Sometimes we laugh. Sometimes we cringe.
But I told him one day I would share this story, maybe to help another family in need. So women won’t feel alone. If you think your hubs is the worst when they get sick, come and read this again for a reminder. Beware… the man cold and flu season is near. This could be you.”
This story makes both Sydney and Ty burst out laughing whenever they recall that afternoon.
We hope it made you laugh too. If yes, share it with friends.
Mother Laura Mazza is just like any modern mother out there. She is constantly torn between her job and her kids’ needs. Somewhere along comes her social life and other responsibilities as well. Even though she tries her best to balance everything she is expected to take care of, her kids sometimes feel as they are not put on the top of her priorities, and that might be really devastating knowing how hard she tries to provide a happy life for them.
But, things don’t always turn out as expected. Here’s what happened on this Halloween.
Facebook/Mum on the Run
On the 31st October, she was away on business and was expected to get back home right for the trick-or-treating. Unfortunately, her plans fell and she felt overwhelmed knowing she wouldn’t get on time to give her son the Halloween he deserved. She shared her story with Love What Matters.
However, it appeared that the Halloween her son was about to get would the best one so far, so her flight delay turned to be a blessing in disguise. All she needed to make her son’s day a memorable one was the women’s power, and the help of the local hero moms.
“I want to tell you how beautiful women are. I promised Luca weeks and weeks in advance that we would go trick or treating. Leading up to it he was so excited, and we looked at costumes we were all going to wear. We have always loved Halloween and I’ve loved it since watching it in movies…
An opportunity for me to work came up and I flew interstate for the day. I promised Luca the night before that I’d be home in time to trick or treat. Flights were delayed, traffic was crazy, and I got home to find him asleep in his costume waiting for me. I ugly cried. Bloody Mom guilt, right? I felt so terrible.
I knew he wouldn’t have cared but I wanted to keep the promise to him. I hated broken promises as a kid.”
Facebook/Mum on the Run
Once she got home, she searched out a local women’s group on Facebook and had one thing to ask from them and that was to simply open their doors on November 1, when she planned to take her son out for a make-up Halloween. She told them how she would buy all the sweets, and all they had to do was put them in the boy’s bucket. But, what she didn’t expect was for that many mothers to offer to help her to put the plan forward.
“Immediately, I was flooded with messages from mothers saying they still do and have lots of chocolate and goodies left over, some even saying they’ll put their decorations back up. Everyone appreciating the feeling of the guilt I felt and wanted to help.
I grabbed some bottles of wine to hand out to those moms and we went trick or treating on the 1st of November. I explained to my son at each house how caring each person was to do this for him, and that he should learn from their kindness and do the same and that kindness like this should never be taken for granted. One mom even went as far as to dress up so that my son would get the full experience.
I have been in tears all day. Happy and emotional tears. They didn’t just do it for my son, they didn’t just teach him that humanity is beautiful, but they taught me that in motherhood, you’re never alone, because other mothers will always have your back!”
Facebook/Mum on the Run
Laura’s son had the best Halloween, and this mother is happy she could give it to him all thanks to the considerate mothers. This is just another example that mother’s love is the most powerful force on Earth.
When Joey and Kristen Masciantonio got a call from a friend of theirs who let them know Pope Francis was going to be in Philadelphia, these devoted Christians really wished to meet him. Donny, who happened to be an FBI agent helping the security, informed them to get downtown if they were about to see the pope that day. This was a once in a lifetime opportunity the two didn’t want to miss. But, never in their wildest dreams did they think this encounter will be life-changing.
YouTube
Joey and Kristen’s daughter Gianna has an extremely rare blood disorder and a tumor, so Donny believed it would be nice if the baby girl meets the Holy Father. It was as though he had some gut feeling that things could change for the better for this loving family. Although they didn’t hesitate to head to Philadelphia, they were a bit concerned that bringing Gianna among the crowd could further weaken her already low immune system. But, something was telling them to do it, and once the doctors told them they could bring her with them, they did just that.
YouTube
When the Masciantonio’s arrived on market Street, they were stunned by the great number of people who were eager to meet the pope, and touch him, or kiss him, in hopes of getting a miracle, or simply getting that feeling of being closer to God. When he saw the pope getting closer, Joey held Gianna as high as he could, in order for the security to notice her, and that’s when one security guard took the baby and brought her over to the pope. What happened next was beyond amazing. Little Gianna got a kiss on the head.
Six weeks after the incredible meeting took place, Kristen and Joey took their daughter at the doctor’s for a regular check up, and that’s when they witnesses their own miracle. The tumor had significantly shrunk, whih left everyone in disbelief.
Besides their daughter’s condition, this family has never questioned their faith. And although many people won’t believe it was a miracle that helped improve Gianna’s heath condition, the Masciantonio know it was a God’s work.
We can only hope and pray for Gianna to heal completely. May God give this family the strength to endure the fight their daughter is facing.
Battling an addiction is one of the hardest things a person can face in their life. James Gordon puts it nicely when he says that “it’s not that some people have will power and some don’t…it’s that some people are willing to change and others are not.” The ultimate truth is that the greatest issue is admitting that the addition is there, slowly ruining the person’s life.
Changing your life might be hard, but once we are determined to leave the bad habits behinds, that’s when our life really starts.
Below are some of the best and most influential stories of people who gave up drinking. Take a look at how these brave individuals who took back control of their life are now happy and healthy.

#59 My Worst Day Sober Is Better Than My Best Day Drinking
Some people are so exceptional at what they do that they have the power to take our breath away. In the Whangarei Academy of Dance and Performing Arts there is a wealth of talent among the students. The dancing instructors tend to make the dancers further develop their inborn dancing virtuosity and make the most of it, which is what they actually do.
The stunning performance of the senior group at the showcase leaves the audience speechless, as the highly trained troupe takes the stage and dances along the music of the famous Leonard Cohen’s masterpiece “Hallelujah.” Once you see the remarkable dancing routine, you will want to watch it again and again.
YouTube
Recently, as a result of the popularity of the reality shows, many dancing schools are presented as having ‘crazy’ teachers, but the professionals from WADPA aim to end that stereotype.
The school says:
“At WADPA dance school, we are all about dancing and encouraging the development of children. We offer classes that range from pre-school to young adult in a safe and supportive environment. We are proud of the family-like environment at WADPA, encouraging everyone to follow their passion. We teach our classes with the aim to build up co-ordination, fitness, sense of rhythm, musicality and self-expression skills, but also life skills such as commitment and teamwork.”
After considerate time of hard work behind the doors of the school’s classrooms, it was finally the time for the show to be performed in front of a wider audience.
YouTube
Watching these young ladies stealing the show, it’s amazing how they do the dancing routine with ease, flawlessly moving from one side to the other. What adds to the beauty of the performance is the girls’ attitude. They look so satisfied and happy, smiling all along.
The audience could witness one of the best modern dancing performances coming from young dancers we’ve ever seen. Everyone was having a blast that night, and we really hope these very talented girls took home the top prize.
YouTube
Watch the performance in the video below and see what a perfect blend of undoubted talent and hard work results in. Enjoy!
Lucky are those who find beauty and happiness in the small things because sometimes all you need in life in order to relax and forget all you worries is a long walk on the beach and dipping your toes in the ocean’s water that refreshes the soul.
As for one lady, Enid Marie Weide, this will be the first time in her life to experience that unique feeling of calmness that the blend of sand and water creates. In her 90 years, she has never visited the beach. But that was all about to change, because Enid’s daughter knew she had to feel the waves crashing at her feet, and the wet sand squishing between her toes.
YouTube
Nobody knows how this loving lady never made it to the beach. But, everyone knew that it would be pity for someone who witnessed so many important things during their lifetime, such as the WWII and the moon landing, not to witness the joy of spending a day at the seaside.
Enid’s life now consists of constantly switching places from California to New Jersey, and vice versa, because that’s where her two daughters who take care of her live, after Enid’s husband passed away 4 years ago.
Jeanne, one of the daughters, told StoryTrender:
“Mom was initially confused as to why someone was bringing round a wheelchair, after all, she knew we already had a wheelchair. The reality soon kicked in that she was actually going down to the beach, to put her toes in the water and she was so excited.”
Enid couldn’t believe that she was going to get to play in the sandbox for reals!
YouTube
In order to get across the sand and get to the ocean, Enid’s daughters bought a special wheelchair, for their mother is not as mobile as she used to be. The moment Enid felt the water touching her feet, she simply couldn’t hold her tears back. This day in Ensenada, Baja, California, is a day she will never forget.
“It was overwhelming to be able to give this gift to her, I thought she would be happy but I was not prepared for how happy this simple act of kindness from friends, family and neighbors would make her feel.”
She was beyond excited to experience the beach for the first time, and it’s a proof that we are never too old to embark on new adventures.
YouTube
She is definitely having the time of her life, and we are so happy to see satisfaction on her face. Her daughters make sure she enjoys the day to the fullest by twirling her around in the water.
She felt like a kid who gets his favorite toy from the store. And yes, this experience made her feel young and filled her heart with pleasure. Not only because she got to see the ocean for the first time, but because she shared this precious moments with her family.
Now she only has one more wish, and that’s when she dies, hers and her husband ashes to be mixed and scattered into the deep blue ocean.
While the life of most celebrities is all luxury and glamour, there are those who are so humble that it’s hard to believe they are one of the most famous people, like the A-list actor Keanu Reeves.
This amazing man is not only well-known worldwide for his outstanding acting skills, but for his heart of gold as well. He is considered one of the nicest guys of Hollywood who is so caring and giving that he steals our hearts whenever we hear of the good deeds he does for the less fortunate.
It’s not a secret that he shared $100 million with the set and the special effects crew who worked along with him in the Matrix movies.
His generosity can’t be compared to any other, especially because he does more of his kindness secretly, without the need to be praised.
Facebook/Keanu Reeves Club
Although he is very successful at what he does, his life hasn’t always been nice to him. He was raised by a single mother and struggled to finish high school, but failed at the end, so that’s when he decided to pursue a career in acting.
There were big tragedies that struck his life. The love of his life, Jennifer Syme, became pregnant but their world collapsed when their daughter was stillborn. This made things difficult and complicated their relationship so they decided to split shortly after, although it was obvious Keanu was still madly in love with her.
18 months after the split, Jeniffer was tragically killed in a car accident and that affected Keanu so deeply that he didn’t know how to move on with his life. Fortunately, he is a strong guy who found comfort in helping others.
Facebook/Keanu Reeves Club
That he is a genuine person who makes everyone around him happy speaks the latest discovery of the amazing action he did. Keanu’s sister was diagnosed with leukemia years before and he had quietly started a foundation in her honor.
He told Ladie’s Home Journal:
“I have a private foundation that’s been running for five or six years, and it helps aid a couple of children’s hospitals and cancer research. I don’t like to attach my name to it, I just let the foundation do what it does.”
He never wanted attention, but to sincerely help those who are desperate and unfortunate.
Facebook/Keanu Reeves Club
We love you Keanu, you are indeed one of a kind.
Take a look at one of his interviews and make sure you share this story with your friends.
It’s an undeniable fact that new technologies facilitate our lives a great deal. And when it comes to driving and the production of newest editions of cars, we are always stunned of how quickly new and improved models emerge on the market.
The good thing is that we no longer have to remember where we’ve put our car keys, because most of the new cars have keyless ignition. Being fined for speaking on the phone while driving is another thing we shouldn’t bother about, because the cars now provide hands-free phone service.
But according to Janette Fennell, president of the “Kids and Cars” safety organization, even with the advance of the technology, there are still some safety issues we should be aware of, especially when it come to our kids. Hopefully, the tips and tools she shares will come in handy to parents who own a modern vehicle.
YouTube
Once you turn your car on, it’s easy to forget to turn it off after you park it in the garage which may easily lead to carbon monoxide poisoning and that might be life-threatening. The car engines are now ultra-quiet and we may not realize the vehicle is till running. So push-to-start ignition can be as dangerous as it is efficient and convenient.
One of the ways to prevent this is to install a carbon monoxide detector in the garage. This will keep the family safe even if it happens for us to forget to turn the car off.
YouTube
With the new vehicles, the rolly windows are now in the past, and it doesn’t require a lot of energy to navigate the car windows. All you need to do is, again, to just press a button.
Did you know that it only takes 22 pounds of force to smash a child’s throat? But most automatic windows in cars have 30 to 80 pounds of force – meaning your little one could easily injure themselves if they were to get stuck in the window.
But it seems this shouldn’t concern us much because the automatically-reversing car windows have the ability to stop in their tracks and roll back down in the event of pressure pushed against it. So if it happens for the child to stuck their fingers or arm, the window will roll down without harming the child.
YouTube
Take a look at some amazing tricks in the video below and make sure to share it with friends.
Life doesn’t treat everyone equally, and in a perfect world, those more fortunate help the least ones, which creates a society of happy people. Kyle Oreffice and Josh Gibson are two great guys who believe that helping others and treating them with kindness is something we should all live by.
These good Samaritans’ show which they broadcast on their YouTube channel is full of videos in which Kyle and Josh surprise those in need by trying to facilitate their life as much as they can.
They choose people they believe need to be given a little push, like the maid from the latest video, who is indeed a very hardworking young lady. It’s amazing what these two did for someone they’ve never met before.
YouTube
‘Give Back Films’, the name of the YouTube channel, is not about making people famous, or Kyle and Josh bragging about their actions, but it’s a way to make people aware of how a small act of kindness can go a long way and even change people’s life forever.
What they do is sort of astounding, because they ‘prank’ random people but not for the sake of making fun of them and gathering followers, but because they want to aspire others to follow their path. They always include the ‘surprise’ element to it. The reaction of those who are being ‘pranked’ is likely to bring tears to your eyes, rather than laughter at someone’s misfortune.
The idea behind what they do is: Pay it forward!
YouTube
In the video they give a tip to the maid working at the motel near Park City, Utah where the Sundance Film Festival happens each year.
They don’t reveal the true identity of the people they ‘prank’ because they are aware not everyone wants to be exposed in the public.
In order to make this work, they first messed up the room the maid was supposed to clean. Well, it was no more than just rolling on the bed sheets.
They set up cameras around the room and waited for the maid to enter the room and see the $500 they left as a tip.
YouTube
Kyle and Josh first gathered some info about this enthusiastic young lady who happened to start working for the hotel after she was a guest there with a couple of friends, but then noticed the sign saying “Now Hiring.” She needed a job and decided to ask the owner whether she could start.
The owner and her co-workers describe her as very well organized. Everyone loves her dedication to the job.
But this time, she had no idea what she was going to come to when she entered the room. Her reaction is so touching that you have to see it for yourself.
YouTube
As for the ‘Give Back Film’ guys, they are thrilled their good deeds bring smile at people’s face. The only thing they expect in return is for others to do good deeds as well.
Turning in your bed from one side to another, staring at the ceiling, checking on the clock every 5 minutes. If these things sound familiar you are probably experiencing sleeping problems like 50-70 million Americans. According to the American Sleep Association these many people suffer from some sort of sleeping disorder. The most common of all is the insomnia which can have numerous causes among which depression, stress, bad sleeping habits, taking certain medications, and others.
The recommendations by the health organizations are that an average adult should get between 7-9 hours of sleep every day. However, the reality is quite different and around 35% Americans get less than 7 hours of sleep daily, which may affect their mood and health.
But no matter the cause of your sleeping problem, there seems to be an easy solution that will allow you to overcome the issue and make you fall asleep in just two minutes. What is great is that it’s all natural, no meds or any kinds of pills involved.

This is actually a sleeping technique used by the military and was first described in the book Relax and Win: Championship Performance by Lloyd Bud Winter. The book was first published in 1981 and teaches us how to fall asleep in a matter of minutes, the way soldiers do, even with bombing and gunfire in the background.
In the book, Winter explains, “The US Navy Pre-Flight School developed a scientific method to fall asleep day or night, in any conditions, in under two minutes. After six weeks of practice, 96 percent of pilots could fall asleep in two minutes or less. Even after drinking coffee, with machine gunfire being played in the background.”
This is how it works.
The first thing to do is to sit on the edge of the bed with only the bedside light on. What follows is relaxing the facial muscles by scrunching up the face.
Next you should try relax your arms and shoulders, while breathing in and out. Listen to yourself breathing and relax the chest more and more while breathing out. After this, try to relax your legs.
Once the body is relaxed, we should now do the same with our mind. Clear it for ten seconds and then choose to do one of the following: you may either try to picture yourself lying in a canoe looking at the blue sky, picture yourself in a pitch-black room lying in a velvet hammock, or chant “don’t think, don’t think, don’t think” for ten seconds.
Once these three relaxing steps are accomplished, the body is calm and ready to fall asleep in a couple of minutes time.

Although this may not be a success for some people, many find it useful and say it helps them fight the insomnia. However, don’t expect for this technique to work after the very first try. According to the author, in order for it to start working, you should practice it for at least six weeks.
Around 96% of the military men say it worked for them. So if you feel like it’s not working for you, you may try switching between the mind relaxing techniques and see which one suits you best.
Are you among those who suffer from a sleeping disorder? If yes, would you give this sleeping trick a try?
What the world lacks these days is compassion. People are always busy, and everyone is mostly concerned only for their own well-being. It’s sad how helping each other and those in need became so rare that we are sort of surprised when we hear of people who do kind deeds.
A man named Simran Jeet Singh posted a video that has quickly gone viral and was retweeted numerous times. It shows two brothers giving their money to a lady whom they saw paying for gas with pennies. They felt bad for the woman and simply knew they had to offer a helping hand.
The lady was touched by the kindness and told the boys how she had recently lost her husband and was struggling financially.
“They had no idea that her husband had just died and she was struggling,” Singh wrote on Twitter. “This is what loving your neighbor looks like. More of this please!”
He later tweeted,
“There’s so much negativity in the news these days. Here’s a much needed reminder that people are good and that we can all live together with love and respect.”
These black brothers saw a woman paying for gas with pennies and gave her money from their pockets. They had no idea that her husband had just died and she was struggling.
Jimmy Fallon is one of the coolest guys out there, and his ‘The Tonight Show’ hosts many celebrities we love. But now imagine the feeling of hosting one of your idols! That happened in one of the episodes when Jimmy had the honor to seat across the desk from Billy Joel.
Jimmy tells his guest of the night how he is his all time favorite and just talking to a star like Billy makes Jimmy nervous, and as he says, singing along with him would be the craziest thing, so he has a brilliant idea that makes the audience lose their mind.
YouTube
When Billy Joel agrees to sing with Jimmy, the host gets excited, because let’s be honest, not many people get the chance to sing along with such a huge star.
Jimmy takes out his iPad and begins excitedly babbling about an app (called Loopy HD) that would convert the two of their voices into a two-man doo-wop group.
Jimmy had already hooked up two microphones for each of them. They choose to perform “The Lion Sleeps Tonight.”
YouTube
Billy asks what key they will be singing in, which confuses Jimmy for a moment, but once the band plunks out a few notes, Jimmy chooses one. Now, everyone is eager for the performance to start.
The app is super cool and lets the two play lines taking turns, which results with their voices blending in a perfect harmony. Jimmy sings a line which Billy repeats, and they do it again using higher voice.
After the four part harmony is ready, Jimmy starts singing along the well known lyrics we all adore.
“In the jungle, the mighty jungle the lion sleeps tonight. In the jungle the quiet jungle the lion sleeps tonight.”
YouTube
Then Billy Joel takes a shot at the next verse. As always, he sounds like the award-winning artist he is.
“Near the village the peaceful village the lion sleeps tonight. Near the village the quiet village the lion sleeps tonight.”
Now it’s time for the final verse, and everyone is stunned by how great these two sound together.
“Hush my darling don’t fear my darling the lion sleeps tonight. Hush my darling don’t fear my darling the lion sleeps tonight.”
Thanks to the app, Billy Joel’s always incredible voice and Jimmy’s surprisingly solid singing, they pull off an awesome rendition of “The Lion Sleeps Tonight.”

People were entertained and amazed at the same time, saying how this was one of the best episodes of the show. Someone said, “You can’t fake the smile Jimmy had during this whole tune. This seemed like one of those “OMG” moments for him. Loved it.”
Queen’s ‘Bohemian Rhapsody’ is considered one of the best songs ever made and listening to it being performed by young kids is simply amazing because it just confirms that it is favorite among different generations.
A little Scottish girl is simply in love with the song. She knows every single word by heart, and it might be one of the most adorable renditions of the Freddie Mercury’s performance.
Mother Charlene McMahon says 3-year-old Holly Lee sang the song numerous times until she learned the lyrics.
“She was bored in the car and I was trying to entertain her,”
she told the Scottish Sun.
“It’s the only song I knew all the words to so I started singing it. Since then she loves watching the video and singing it. She watches the video about five or six times a week and sings the song three or four times a day.”
Besides her amazing singing skills, she rocks some acting along the way and plays a virtual guitar, which adds to the cuteness of the video.
This story is a perfect example that not all heroes wear capes. Our hero of today is the compassionate bus driver from Paris who stood for one man who needed to be shown empathy, but instead was ignored by the passengers.
Francois Le Berre moves around in a wheelchair because of his condition of multiple sclerosis. Francois was waiting for the bus at the bus stop in Porte de Clichy, and when it arrived, the driver noticed the man so he put up the access ramp, but he still couldn’t board because none of the passengers allowed him space to move.
Seeing this, the driver flipped out and ordered everyone to get off the bus, letting Francois and his brother in. He then drove off leaving all the passengers behind.

Mr Le Berre said:
“Yesterday while waiting for the bus in Paris, I laughed because no-one wanted to budge”.
When nobody moved the driver got up and said:
“Terminus! Everybody off the bus!”
‘After that the driver came to see me and said, “you and your helper, you can get on, and the others, you can wait for the next one!’
Speaking to France’s Huffington Post, he said the bus driver had told him that
‘everyone might need a wheelchair one day’
After waiting for passengers to disperse he had come down to talk to Mr Le Berre and his brother and tell them they could get on the bus.
The driver did not know him and had no disabled family members but had simply chosen to show
‘a little civility’ he said.
Spotting the problem, the driver shouted ‘Terminus’, instructing everyone to get off, before allowing Mr Le Berre on board and driving off. File photo: a bus in Paris
Once the story was shared on Twitter by an organization called Accessible Pour Tous – meaning Accessibility For All, it quickly vent viral. Nearly 5,000 people retweeted it and more than 10,000 expressed admiration and gratitude for the good deed.
One person said: ‘The bus driver is a hero!’, while another wrote: ‘Congratulations to the bus driver, but shame on the passengers’.
Another user said: ‘Bravo to the driver who emptied his bus to allow allow the disabled person to get on.
‘Good lesson. I hope the other passengers understood.’
A further comment read: ‘I hope this action will be followed by lots of others. Let’s change the view of those who don’t see others.’
We are so thankful and happy that there are still people out there like the bus driver who believe that treating people with kindness is the only right way.
