Age 5 boy found starving to death in closet – siblings save his life

It’s simply unbelievable how cruel people can be at times. When we hear of some of the despicable acts they do, we understand how this world slowly becomes an evil place. Luckily, there is always someone who’ll come along and remind us that humanity is not dead.

The following story broke our hearts in a million pieces. The sad faith of a young boy who nearly died of neglect is just a reminder that we should always pay close attention to those around us, because many times people look normal, but hide awful secrets.

Jordan, a five year old boy from Spring, Texas, had the life no one ever deserves to have. He was hours from death when he was found in his home back in 2014. The most devastating thing is that he wasn’t ill, nor suffered an accident, but was severely neglected by those who were supposed to love him unconditionally.

Jordan was a child from his father’s other relationship and lived with him, his step-mother, and seven step-siblings. While the rest of the kids were treated just fine, Jordan was the one who was constantly beaten, starved, and forced to live in a tiny “Harry Potter” room under the stairs.
Brad Bleimeyer and his wife Tammi were parents from hell.

The cupboard where Jordan would spend most of the time wasn’t only small, but there were bare wires and nails sticking out and it was very much unsafe for anyone to be staying there, let alone a boy that young.

Luckily, there was someone in the house who knew how wrong it was for Jordan to be treated that way. 16-year-old Cody, one of the boys, was desperately trying to find a way and save his sibling from the torture he was going through, but somehow, his voice wasn’t heard.

“The police had been to our house multiple times,” said Cody, according to The Sun. “All the police officers told me there was nothing they could do about it.”

“The teachers were unsure what to do — nobody could help me at that point.”

“I remember police officers were actually at our front door and I asked them to come in and see what was happening and they said they couldn’t because I was underage and I didn’t own the house. They were literally at our door and I was asking for help and they couldn’t do anything.”

But despite the lack of help, Cody (who’s now studying criminal justice) kept pushing. He and his sister, Allison, challenged their parents but received verbal and physical punishment and threats for trying to help Jordan.

One day in March 2014, Cody had had enough. He broke into Jordan’s prison cell and was shocked at what he found.

“The day I opened up that closet, Jordan was in the worst shape I had ever seen him in,” he recalled. “I had been in a huge fight with Brad so I was already in trouble and both adults were outside of the house so I just saw an opportunity and I opened up the closet to let Jordan out.”

“But what I found was truly shocking — he was in his diaper, he didn’t have any clothes on. His face was all caved in, bruises all over, marks on him. His mouth was foaming. I have never in my life seen anything as bad as that.”

“I kind of paused for a second and then I just freaked out. If we hadn’t got him out that day I don’t think he would have survived.”

“I picked Jordan up and gave him to my sister Allison so she could care for him and comfort him and I went outside and just called my mom and Brad out on it. They both flipped out that I had opened the closet door — they said I had no business going in there, that it wasn’t anything to do with me.”

“At that point things escalated between me and Brad and we started shoving each other and I was just trying to draw as much attention as I could. I knew at this point there was no turning back. My mom had confiscated my phone but I had a prepaid phone so I called the police but in the meantime my mom was packing all the kids up and getting everyone out.”

“I remember him falling and I picked him up and him just being in my arms was terrible,” Allison, who had been 14 at the time, added. “It was like I wasn’t holding anything — he was so light — it wasn’t like holding a kid at all.”

“He was so, so white and his cheeks were sunken and he smelled terrible — it was just awful. I hadn’t seen him for about a week before this and he was scared, he didn’t know what was happening.”

Finally, this December, the justice had been served and Tammi was sentenced to 28 years in jail. During the court hearing, her children, Cody and Allison testified against her.

Brad Bleimeyer was sentenced to 15, according to the Independent. The rest of the kids were put in foster care. It’s sad how what their parents did affected their life. This is something none of them will ever forget.

Jordan, his biological mother, and the rest of us can never thank Cody and Allison enough for risking their own safety in the struggle to get their little brother off the awfully painful ordeal. 

Lovely Jordan got his happy ending. He is now living with his mom and is a very happy and healthy young boy with a great life ahead.

Son Finds Out Where Mom Disappears To Every Christmas Eve

Christmas is that special time of the year everyone wants to spend with the family and friends. Knowing this, now 63-year-old John Dorroh couldn’t help but wonder why his beloved mother would decide to run her errands on this day instead of staying at the house with him and the family. He recalls how she would always find an excuse to leave the place for some time on Christmas day. 

Now, years after his mother Sue passed away, John discovered her well-kept secret. One day he found a note in the mailbox. The sender was signed as Robert. It was all kind of strange because John didn’t know any person that went by that name. It appeared he was his mother’s former coworker who was about to reveal the truth about Sue’s real personality. Robert was writing how he and Sue were more than work pals, and all those excuses she came up with all those years were just a way for her to sneak and spend the day with another family.

Sue loved the holiday season and was always waiting for it in anticipation. She did all her shopping in advance, and everything was ready even before Thanksgiving. Because of this, John and his family would never question her absence. After all, she was always back after a couple of hours as she promised. 

John’s heart melted as he proceeded reading the letter. His mother was a real angel. Neither he, nor his dad would ever imagine how she was making sure for Robert’s family to get the Christmas they so much wanted, but unfortunately, couldn’t afford.

This woman had a heart of gold. Robert’s letter to John read:

“Dear Johnny, I just wanted you to know how much my family and I appreciate what your mother has done for us for all of these years. Every year on Christmas Eve day your mom comes to my house dress like Mrs. Claus and gives my kids a Christmas that we can’t afford to give them. She has given them shoes, shirts, jeans, toys, and candy.”

She would bring joy in the home of Robert for every Christmas, till the rest of her life and that was the most amazing thing.

“I know your heart is heavy and that you are missing Miss Sue. We do, too. We loved her and just wanted you to know what she has done for us. Love, Robert and Nellie and the kids.”

John is very proud of his mother, but still, feels a bit sad for not learning this truth while she was still alive.

Robert’s note was the ultimate Christmas present John could ever receive. No money, or other material things can ever compare to the pleasure and joy these words brought in this son’s heart and life.

John is aware that his mother didn’t want her good deed to be known to anyone, but he somehow feels like he has to share her story. He hopes others will follow this compassionate woman’s example, because being there for others is what makes this world go round. The proud son wrote a short story about his “Mom’s Secret Mission,” which has now been published in “Chicken Soup for the Soul: The Joy of Christmas.”

We can all agree how the dancing performances are the best part of the so much anticipated holiday shows. Now if you think you’ve seen everything the dancing masters has to offer, you can’t be more wrong. What you are about to witness will take your breath away.

When the 36 dancers took the stage, the audience simply knew they were about to experience something unique. Dressed as toy soldiers, the dancers are so synchronized in their movement that they indeed resemble toys. 

Every step they take on the huge stage is neat and in perfect harmony with the rest of the overall routine. Millions of people have already seen the dancing spectacle and everyone agrees it’s unlike any other.

These highly trained professionals definitely stood out and stole the show. Moving along and marching with such precision takes a lot of focus and practice, as well as God given talent. 

Among all those mesmerizing dance acts, the toy soldiers falling like dominoes is the most catchy of all. 

This routine is a classic and has been part of the Christmas Spectacular Starring the Radio City Rockettes musical holiday stage show since 1933. However, it never fails to capture our attention and fill our hearts with pleasure. 

Take a look at the most impressive Christmas choreography ever and don’t forget to share it with friends. 

Duo Wins 1st Place For Updated Take On Classic Swing Dance

Ben Morris and Jennifer DeLuca make it clear what it really takes to be number one and end up winning a swing dance competition. Their incredible dancing routine makes the two jump off the page and leave the audience and the judges speechless. The fact they live on the opposite sides of the country isn’t an obstacle for them to get together and practice the top-notch golden medal worth choreography. 

Once they took the stage of the Capital Swing Dancers’ Presidents’ Day weekend convention in California, everyone knew it was going to be a dancing experience like no other. It really is something never-seen before, because it’s incredibly original with no single classic swing step or sequence in the whole routine. 

The crowd went wild with every step this duo took, and everyone was eager to see more of the “rebellious” performance. The whole thing was accompanied by loud cheering. Ben and Jenifer’s vibrant personalities were expressed by their moves which were energetic and bubbly. Dancing to George Thorogood’s classic only added to the beauty of the whole thing. 

YouTube

This dancing duo did something incredible. They gave the swing dancing a completely new meaning. Everyone who got to witness the dazzling performance agrees how it was more vibrant, and well…different. 

The way Ben and Jennifer were dressed was nothing like what other competitors wore. The females are “expected” to dress in a pretty A-line dresses that resemble the outfit of the swing-dance era. Jennifer went a step further and wore black slacks with metal studs adorning pocket and a white and black sleeveless top. Her partner Ben was dressed in a classic pants, a shirt, and a sweater. 

YouTube

The flawless dance routine didn’t incorporate any distinctive move from the 1930s, but the perfect harmony and the “crazy” swinging all around the stage made it enjoyable to watch. 

Jennifer bends over backwards while Ben uses her outstretched arm as a microphone and lip syncs George’s song. It’s really fabulous, especially seeing the twisting and flipping on the ground instead of up in the air.  

YouTube

Swing dance is a style of social dancing in which a dancer often lifts, spins, and flips the partner. It’s a favorite among dancers of all ages and its origins date back in the 1920s when jazzy Big Bands were all the rage, but then seemed to fade away after the 194o’s.

However, in recent years this type of dancing regained its popularity and people really seem to enjoy it both practicing it and watching how it’s done. Ben and Jennifer took swing dancing to a whole new level that everyone loves.

A woman was wondering how her husband would react if she decided to dump him. In order to discover that, she came up with a vicious plan. But the husband had the last laugh. 

This is a must read. We are sure the wife didn’t see this coming!

The other day, a girl wanted to know how her hubby would react if she left without telling him where she had gone. So she decided to write him a letter saying she is tired of him and didn’t want to live with him any more and after writing, put the letter on the table in the bedroom before hiding under the bed…

When her hubby came back home, he saw the letter and read it, then he also wrote something on it and began to sing and dance changing his clothes. He got his phone, dialled someone then said:

”Hey babe, I’m just changing clothes then will join you, as for the other fool it has finally dawned on her that I was fooling around with her and has left. I was really wrong to have married her, I wish I had known you earlier. See you soon honey!”

Then her hubby walked out of the room…

In tears and very upset, she got up from under the bed and decided to go and read what her hubby wrote on the letter. When she got the letter, it said:

”I could see your feet you idiot, I am going to buy bread”.

Dr. Travis Opens Up About the “Special Lady” in His Life

Every person has a softer side, and no matter how strong someone might seem to be, things that come along our way have the power to weaken and even crush us, and that’s fine, because at the end of the day, we are just humans. 

In the recent interview of our beloved Dr. Travis Stork, he showed his audience how everyone has the right to shed tears of either pain or joy every once in a while. The prominent TV figure and a co-host of the show The Doctors got really emotional when he got to share with the world the story of his loving girl. 

YouTube

He told the audience how his girl’s health issues and struggles left him heartbroken. Everyone says how this side of the Doctor only speaks of him as an emotional person whose life was deeply affected because of Nala’s condition. And it’s perfectly normal to feel that way, because once you develop a strong bond with someone, they remain a huge part of your life even after they are no longer part of it. 

YouTube

Dr. Travis and his lovely dog Nala have been best companions for more than seventeen years. The moment she entered his life, she made it better. He is proud to be called this awesome creature’s father.

When he talks about her, he describes her as loyal, gentle, and kind. A wonderful dog anyone would ask for. A real blessing.

YouTube

Nala provided comfort for her human daddy and friend whenever he needed it. She could make all the pain and stress easily go away with a single bark or simply by wagging her tail. 

Unfortunately, during the interview, her condition was very bad and she was living her last days, and by the time it aired on TV, Nala passed away. 

YouTube

Losing a pet is very hard and brings unbearable pain in the life of the owner. It’s like a huge part of their heart is lost forever. 

The interview shows the impact and the influence a pet can have on a person’s life. It will give more clearer picture about their importance to everyone who ever dared to say, “it’s just a pet.”

Kelly Clarkson And Pentatonix Join Together For Christmas Performance

America’s sweetheart Kelly Clarkson and our all time favorite a capella group Pentatonix have joined their out-of-this-world vocal skills before, but their performance of this year might be the best so far.

They are no strangers to holiday specials and each season they leave us eagerly waiting for their choice of holiday hits they give new life to. Listening and watching them sing together makes us all smiles and fill our hearts will pleasure as they belt out the lyrics of Kelly’s hit song “My Grown Up Christmas List.

The whole experience is way better than anyone could have imagined. They never fail to lift the Christmas spirit up and treat their fans and everyone who gets to listen to them with this once-in-a-lifetime performance. 

The group huddles together in a Las Vegas restaurant and gives one unsuspecting couple the surprise of their life.  

YouTube

Both Pentatonix and Kelly became the synonym of the best Christmas shows over the years. Their treat their audience with renditions of the melodies and the songs that grew close to our hearts and remind us of all the beauties the season brings. They perform alongside many other famous artists. Kelly had previously performed “Silent Night” with her idols Reba McEntire and Trisha Yearwood. 

Kelly gushed:

“Trisha and Reba – total dream come true. Totally cried the day we were in the studio. I was just freaking out. We did ‘Silent Night’ as a trio, and it ends a cappella! And it’s so ridiculous. I have never been so vain in my whole life, but I have listened to that song I don’t know how many times.”

You’re not the only one, Kelly!

YouTube

Kelly always knew how to appreciate the holidays, but after she got engaged to the love of her life, this season became her all time favorite. She even dedicated some of her hits to Brandon.  

Kelly explained:

“The one titled ‘Winter Dreams: Brandon’s Song’ would be one [that was dedicated to Brandon]. What was the first hint? No, that one’s definitely about him. Honestly, I wrote ‘Every Christmas’ which was another song on the Christmas album. It was the first song I wrote on the Christmas album with my guitarist, and I wrote it about just my whole life, how every Christmas, I was just like, ‘This is going to be different, right? I’m going to actually find someone and not be pathetically alone for the rest of my life?’ 

So, I wrote it about those deep emotions that you go through during that time, when it’s supposed to be a happy time, but you’re just like, OK, every Christmas, I keep thinking it’s going to change, and it doesn’t. Then ‘Winter Dreams: Brandon’s Song’ is kind of after we were together and we got engaged. Christmas changes, it morphs, it comes to life a little more. It’s just a happier time.”

She never misses the chance to remind us what Christmas is all about, and that’s the love we have for each other. As for her album “Meaning of Life,” she said how she couldn’t wait for the fans to experience the music live, to not only hear it, but feel it. And she definitely nailed it, because the fans were left speechless.

Man Asks Hotel If He Could Bring His Pet. But Their Reply Is Gold

Maybe dogs are not our whole life, but they make our lives whole. Having one means being constantly surrounded by unconditional love and loyalty. And even though there are many people who don’t understand how important our fur babies are to us saying they are just dogs, luckily, there are those who know these creatures are family members, just like this cool hotel owner. 

Take a look at this, it’s awesome!

A man wrote a letter to a small hotel in a town he planned to visit on his holiday. He wrote: I would very much like to bring my dog with me. He is well-groomed and very well behaved.

Would you be willing to permit me to keep him in my room with me at night?”

An immediate reply came from the hotel owner, who wrote:

SIR: “I’ve been operating this hotel for many years. In all that time, I’ve never had a dog steal towels, bedclothes, silverware or pictures off the walls.

I’ve never had to evict a dog in the middle of the night for being drunk and disorderly. And I’ve never had a dog run out on a hotel bill. Yes, indeed, your dog is welcome at my hotel.

And, if your dog will vouch for you, you’re welcome to stay here, too.”

Beachgoers Clap To Reunite Lost Girl with Mother On Brazilian Beach

YouTube

Brazil is known for its stunning tropical beaches that are one of the best in the world. With dazzling white sand and the clear blue water it feels like you’ve found a secret bit of paradise on Earth.

These out-of-this-world places are visited by millions of people who enjoy the beauties of the God-given nature. Among all the visitors there are families with young children who can easily get lost among the crowd. 

What is truly amazing is that in case a kid is lost, the beachgoers have came up with a very simple but useful technique of tracking the parents of the lost child down. 

With no broadcasting system to cover the large stretch of sand, one of the bystanders puts the child on their shoulders while the onlookers constantly clap their hands. 

YouTube

This technique seem to be a very useful one because it has helped many parents reunite with their little ones in a matter of minutes, which would otherwise take a lot more time. 

A little girl got separated with her mom at the Pria das Conchas (beach). When the crowed realized the girl was all by herself,  they started clapping. 

YouTube

While they were going up and down the beach, a man was standing in the water waving hands. 

YouTube

The search for her girl had a happy ending as the mom noticed the people clapping and rushed to take her daughter in her arms. 

We are happy everything turned out just fine for this loving family.

Take a look at the video below. 

Woman Finds Hilarious Note Attached to Dog’s Collar

This is really awesome. To be honest, I didn’t expect such an ending. 

An older, tired-looking dog wandered into my yard; I could tell from his collar and well-fed belly that he had a home and was well taken care of. 

He calmly came over to me, I gave him a few pats on his head; he then followed me into my house, slowly walked down the hall, curled up in the corner and fell asleep. 

An hour later, he went to the door, and I let him out. 

The next day he was back, greeted me in my yard, walked inside and resumed his spot in the hall and again slept for about an hour. This continued off and on for several weeks. 

Curious I pinned a note to his collar:

”I would like to find out who the owner of this wonderful sweet dog is and ask if you are aware that almost every afternoon your dog comes to my house for a nap.”

The next day he arrived for his nap, with a different note pinned to his collar:

”He lives in a home with 6 children, 2 under the age of 3, he’s trying to catch up on his sleep. Can I come with him tomorrow?”

93-yr-old WWII veteran dies with no family to carry casket – then 6 teens show up in uniform

Veterans who served our country are the pillars-of-the-community and the reason why we get to enjoy the freedom of today. 

These people have sacrificed a lot and deserve all the respect in this world. We should make sure to always remind them how we wouldn’t make it without their courage and selflessness. 

However, young generations don’t seem to understand the role the veterans played for the safety of the nation, and although it’s sad, our faith in the youth restores when we hear stories like the one below. These young men did something that should teach the rest of us how things should be done the right way.

This is the story of Thomas Hunter, a brave soldier who took part in the WWII from 1942 to 1949. 

After the war ended he didn’t get married and spent his life of 93 years alone. He did have siblings, 11 to be exact, whom he outlived. So when this veteran died, there was no one who could carry his casket. 

Bryan Price, the funeral director helping to arrange the necessary formalities, contacted local football coach Lyn Bankston to see if any of his players would be willing to help out.

Bankston spoke with Matthew Harrell, Brett Jurek, Justin Lawson, T.J. Homan, Christian Evans, and Lee Estay to see if they minded getting involved. Every single one of them gave a resounding yes.

“They know the sacrifice Mr. Hunter made and it meant something to them,” Bankston said

The boys appeared on the day of the funeral wearing their football uniforms and performed all the duties this man deserved as a final goodbye.

U.S. Rep. Ralph Abraham praised the young men for their actions, saying:

“They didn’t know this man, but they knew that every veteran deserves to die with dignity and be honored for the sacrifices he made in defense of this nation,” Abraham said. “I think the actions of these young men speak volumes about what’s truly important — country, community, family, God.”

We can’t thank these young men enough for everything they did for the veteran, because helping him meant helping the nation. They assured us our youth is well raised and knows how to respect the elderly and those who gave up on everything for the United States.

This is indeed a really touching story. Please share it with your family and friends. 

This Man Just Found A 14 Year Old Pregnant Girl Out In The Cold. This Is Heartbreaking.

We never know how significant, and even life changing, the kindness and the good deeds we do can be for those who go through tough times. Sometimes, even a few words of empathy are enough to make person’s world go round again.

The following story is a perfect example of that. It’s so soul-touching I couldn’t hold my tears back.

I was day tripping to Vancouver from Seattle and stopped in for lunch at a little cafe. From my window I saw a young teenage girl out in the cold, squatted down in a closed up businesses doorway, holding a small bundle in her arms. She was panhandling, people were mostly walking by ignoring her. She looked just broken.

I finished up my meal and went outside, went through my wallet and thought I’d give her $5 for some food. I got up to her and she was sobbing, she looked like she was 14-15. And that bundle in her arms was a baby wrapped up. I felt like I just got punched in the chest. She looked up putting on a game face and asked for any change, I asked her if she’d like some lunch. Right next door was a small quick-Trip type grocery store, I got a can of formula for the baby (very young, maybe 2-3 months old.), and took her back to the cafe though I’d just eaten. She was very thankful, got a burger and just inhaled it. Got her some pie and ice cream. She opened up and we talked. She was 15, got pregnant, parents were angry and she was fighting with them. She ran away. She’s been gone almost 1 full year.

I asked her if she’s like to go home and she got silent. I coaxed her, she said her parents wouldn’t want her back. I coaxed further, she admitted she stole 5k in cash from her Dad. Turns out 5k doesn’t last long at all and the streets are tough on a 15 year old. Very tough. She did want to go back, but she was afraid no one wanted her back after what she did.

We talked more, I wanted her to use my phone to call home but she wouldn’t. I told her I’d call and see if her folks wanted to talk to her, she hesitated and gave bad excuses but eventually agreed. She dialed the number and I took the phone, her Mom picked up and I said hello. Awkwardly introduced myself and said her daughter would like to speak to her, silence, and I heard crying. Gave the phone to the girl and she was just quiet listening to her Mom cry, and then said hello. And she cried. They talked, she gave the phone back to me, I talked to her Mom some more.

I drove her down to the bus station and bought her a bus ticket home. Gave her $100 cash for incidentals, and some formula, diapers, wipes, snacks for the road.

Got to the bus, and she just cried saying thank you over and over. I gave her a kiss on the forehead and a hug, kissed her baby, and she got on the bus.

I get a Christmas card every year from her. She’s 21 now and in college.

Her name is Makayla and her baby was Joe.

I’ve never really told anyone about this. I just feel good knowing I did something good in this world.

This great man restores our faith in humanity. We should always offer a helping hand and make a change in someone’s life.

Woman Shocked A Welfare Officer When She Walked There With Her 15 Kids.

This is hilarious. Having 15 kids ain’t easy, but this woman knows how to deal with them all. Take a look and get your laugh for today!

A woman walks into the downtown welfare office, trailed by 15 kids…

“WOW,” the social worker exclaims, are they ALL YOURS???”

“Yep, they are all mine,” the flustered momma sighs, having heard that question a thousand times before. She says, “Sit down, Leroy.” All the children rush to find seats.

“Well,” says the social worker, “then you must be here to sign up. I’ll need all your children’s names.”

“This one’s my oldest – he is Leroy.” “OK, and who’s next?” “Well, this one he is Leroy, also.”

The social worker raises an eyebrow but continues. One by one, through the oldest four, all boys, all named Leroy. Then she is introduced to the eldest girl, named Leighroy!

“All right,” says the caseworker. “I’m seeing a pattern here. Are they ALL named Leroy?” Their Momma replied, “Well, yes–it makes it easier. When it is time to get them out of bed and ready for school, I yell, ‘Leroy!’ An’ when it’s time for dinner, I just yell ‘Leroy!’ an’ they all comes a running. An’ if I need to stop the kid who’s running into the street, I just yell ‘Leroy’ and all of them stop. It’s the smartest idea I ever had, naming them all Leroy.”

The social worker thinks this over for a bit, then wrinkles her forehead and says tentatively, “But what if you just want ONE kid to come, and not the whole bunch?”

“I call them by their last names.”

If this made you laugh, please share it with your friends!

United Airline CEO Refuses To Let Frail Senior Take Her Seat

In recent years we’ve stumbled upon various testimonies of passengers flying with the United Airlines, most of which judging their poor customer service. Although it’s not easy to satisfy the needs of so many people who opt to travel with them, the customers should always come first. The company is known to be trying to reshape its public image, however. The latest story relating to this company brings a change of the spirit after the act the CEO did. 

Rebecca Kuchar Krutz is being honest when she confesses how United Airlines is not her first choice when it comes to traveling by plane. She prefers their competition, the Delta Airlines. But, this time, she found herself sitting a United first-class seat.

Writing a Facebook post about the experience, she recalls what she got to witness. Namely, once she boarded, she could see people approaching a guy. She didn’t recognize him at first but then realized it was the company’s CEO, Oscar Munoz, who had already taken his seat at the VIP section. Another passenger, an elderly woman whom Rebecca saw chatting with Munoz at the gate was taking her seat at the economy class. But that’s when things took different turn.

What Rebecca has to share with the rest of us is just amazing. 

“I’m a pretty loyal Delta Airlines customer. But tonight I was on a flight w the CEO of United. I was a bit surprised seeing him walk back into the economy section of the plane to take his seat. Seated in front of me on the plane was an elderly lady in her 80’s (maybe even early 90’s). She didn’t appear to be in great health and had a bit of a hard time with her speech. Prior to boarding, I’d seen Oscar (the CEO) make his way out of a crowd of people in order to go over and speak w her.”

According to Rebecca, it was clear from the CEO’s face that what he did was an honest good deed. He was really happy to give his seat to the woman, and the lady herself was astonished by the gesture.

Rebecca was impressed by that gesture too. She felt she had to tell the world how things should be done. The old lady was initially nervous to be on a plane, but what she experienced made her fears fade away.

“That, ladies and gentleman, is how it should be done. Treat our elders with the respect and care they deserve. I may very well be a lifelong United customer after witnessing that act of selflessness by a man who likely has his own private plane, and yet was humble enough to give up his seat to an elderly lady he’d never met before, because he thought she’d be more comfortable there. United??”

She ended her post by cheekily asking everyone, “United??” Oscar certainly knows how every passenger is important and should be treated as such.

Oscar was raised in a household where he was taught to treat the elderly with the utmost of respect. He told the Houston Chronicle:

“I was brought up in a house where we were taught to respect our elders. I have a grandmother in her 90’s and if she walks into a room where family is seated, we rise and offer her the most comfortable seat. We do this out of love and respect as she is the matriarch of our family and we feel she deserves to be treated this way. You did this exact thing; only for a woman you’d never met before, and likely will never cross paths with again. Thank you for extending such kindness and respect to an elderly passenger. While it may have been a small gesture for you, I can assure you it meant a great deal to her, and though I don’t know her, it meant a great deal to me as well.”

Most CEOs put business before the customers without realizing that the customers are the ones who make you successful. Oscar isn’t like most bosses, he is a kind-hearted man, and above all, a human. 

Spoof Emails Capture Chaos Of Planning Christmas Office Party

We all want to attend a good Christmas party that will let us chill and simply enjoy the most wonderful time of the year. But have you ever though how complicated it is for such a gathering to be organized?

Below is described the attempt of Pauline, a HR Director, to come to terms with everyone’s wishes, but fails a great deal. The story is fictional, but still a perfect example of how the common sense among humans is simply fading away as people nowadays get easily offended by everything and everyone.

RE: Christmas Party

I’m happy to inform you that the company Christmas Party will take place on December 23, starting at noon in the private function room at the Grill House. There will be a cash bar and plenty of drinks! We’ll have a small band playing traditional carols… please feel free to sing along. And don’t be surprised if the CEO shows up dressed as Santa Claus!

A Christmas tree will be lit at 1pm. Exchange of gifts among employees can be done at that time; however, no gift should be over $10 to make the giving of gifts easy for everyone’s pockets. This gathering is only for employees!
The CEO will make a special announcement at the Party.

Merry Christmas to you and your family.

RE: Holiday Party

In no way was yesterday’s memo intended to exclude our Jewish employees. We recognize that Chanukah is an important holiday, which often coincides with Christmas, though unfortunately not this year. However, from now on we’re calling it our “Holiday Party”. The same policy applies to any other employees who are not Christians. There will be no Christmas tree or Christmas carols sung. We will have other types of music for your enjoyment.

Happy Holidays to you and your family.

Regarding the note I received from a member of Alcoholics Anonymous requesting a non-drinking table… you didn’t sign your name. I’m happy to accommodate this request, but if I put a sign on a table that reads, “AA Only”; you wouldn’t be anonymous any more!!!!!

How am I supposed to handle this? Somebody?

Forget about the gift exchange, no gift exchange allowed now since the union officials feel that $10 is too much money and management believe $10 is a little cheap.
NO GIFT EXCHANGE WILL BE ALLOWED.

RE: Holiday Party

What a diverse group we are! I’ve arranged for members of Weight Watchers to sit farthest from the dessert buffet and pregnant women will get the table closest to the toilets. Gays are allowed to sit with each other, lesbians do not have to sit with gay men, each will have their own table. Yes, there will be flower arrangements for the gay men’s table too. To the person asking permission to cross-dress – no cross-dressing allowed.

Low fat food will be available for those on a diet. We cannot control the salt used in the food – we suggest those people with high blood pressure taste the food first. There will be fresh fruits as dessert for diabetics, the restaurant cannot supply “No Sugar” desserts. Sorry!

Did I miss anything ?!?!?!?!

Vegetarian jerks, I’ve had it with you people!!! We’re going to keep this party at the Grill House whether you like it or not, so you can sit quietly at the table farthest from the “grill of death,” as you so quaintly put it, and you’ll get your f****** salad bar, including organic tomatoes. But you know tomatoes have feelings, too. They scream when you slice them. I’ve heard them scream. I’m hearing them scream right NOW !!

I hope you all have a rotten holiday, The Bitch from HELL !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I’m sure I speak for all of us in wishing Pauline Lewis a speedy recovery and I’ll forward your cards to her. In the meantime, the management has decided to cancel our Holiday Party and instead give everyone the afternoon of December 23 off with full pay.

Happy Holidays!

Kelly Clarkson Joins The Stage With Trisha Yearwood And Reba McEntire

Kelly Clarkson’s musical talent took our breath away from the moment she first walked on the stage of American Idol back in 2002. Once she let her voice fill the place with magic, we all knew she will remain one of the nation’s sweethearts. 

Over the years, Kelly’s performances of the all time favorite holiday melodies became the synonym of Christmas. Each year, we are eagerly waiting for her to choose a song and make of it a memorable rendition that will bring the Christmas spirit in each of us.  

This year, however, among the hits she chose to give a new life to is the song “Silent Night” she performs along with two other huge names in the showbiz. The result is indeed something special. 

YouTube

Kelly hosted a Christmas special that brought at the same place some of the most iconic artists. Many singers that practice different type of music got together and listening to every one of them is a real pleasure.

Kelly sang with Trisha Yearwood and Reba McEntire, and the way this trio sounds is out of this world. A perfect blend of three exquisite voices that leave us dumbfounded and eager for more. 

The organizers of the show did the right thing giving Kelly the role of a host. Her charm lit the stage up and reminded us once again what she is our favorite.

YouTube

Stars like the late great Robin Williams, Blake Shelton, Whoopi Goldberg, Jay Leno, Danica Patrick, Heidi Klum, Ken Jeong and Jai Rodriguez also joined “Kelly Clarkson’s Cautionary Christmas Music Tale.” They all added a personal flair to an evening of Christmas fun.

Although it’s a privilege to be performing alongside any of these amazing artists, Reba told The Boot how Kelly and Trisha are her favorite.

“They entertain me. I sit back with my jaw dropped and just listen to them sing and perform. I’m just in awe of them.”

This NBC’s show was seen by millions of people who were treated with the ultimate singing and a night to remember. 

The combination of voices of three such beautiful ladies really lifts the Christmas spirit.

YouTube

Listen to this incredible trio sing “Silent Night” for yourself below. We hope we’ll get to see more of them in the future.

Susan Boyle Sings Christmas Song That Gives You Goosebumps

I’m sure everyone remembers when Susan Boyle first took the stage of one of the most popular music shows, Britain’s Got Talent. When the judges saw the middle-aged woman walking in, they didn’t expect much, but once she started singing, she left everyone in awe. Her voice spread to the end of the huge place and some strangely magical beauty could be felt in the air.

Now, with the Christmas just around the corner and all the holiday songs that announce the birth of our Savior, we get to listen to many renditions of those familiar melodies. However, this year, nothing compares to Susan’s performance of the classic “Away In A Manger,” which comes from her second album, “The Gift.”


YouTube

The soul and the deep emotions that pour from this incredible song are enough to get anyone in the Christmas spirit! She wows everyone who gets to listen to her angelic voice that sends chills down our spine. The version of this song is bound to become your favorite. 

Susan is a devoted Christian who keeps the faith near to her heart. She explained her religious beliefs to Christian Post saying:

“My faith is incredibly important to me on every level. It gets me through those moments of self-doubt and also allows me to understand that this gift of my career, later in life, is from a higher power. Religion is very important to me and I still attend church services regularly. As a young child, I went with my family to church and sang in the choir. I find that my religion gives me a direction in life and brings great happiness. “

She performs at the Rockefeller Plaza in New York in front of a huge crowd that gathered to feel the magic and the spirit of the holiday during the annual lightning of the Christmas tree. 


YouTube

This once-in-a-lifetime show starts with little children dressed in outfits that speak Christmas singing in a choir. They might be young and tiny but their voices are incredibly powerful. They start singing the introductory lyrics and when we think it can’t get any better, Susan takes the stage and it’s impossible not to get goosebumps while listening to her amazing vocal abilities.

What a wonderful way to ring in the holiday season.

Listen to Susan’s performance for yourself below. She is amazingly talented. 

Couple Served In WWII Together, Married For Seven Decades, Die On The Same Day After Taking Their Last Nap Together

If you have ever questioned the existence of true love, the story of Isabell Whitney and Preble Staver will make all your doubts fade away.

The two first met before the WWII took place and were separated until it came to an end. During those years, Preble was serving in the Marines and the love of his life joined as a nurse in the Navy. 

This loving couple was married more than 70 years and stood by each other’s side for better and for worse and ended their life dying on the same day, embracing each other and holding hands. 

The sweethearts got hitched in 1946 and raised five children together. 

Laurie Staver Clinton

One of their children, Laurie Staver Clinton, told PEOPLE, “They were great people. Mom really taught me that you can’t change another person but you can change your attitude towards them. Dad was a bit of a prickly pear!”

As time passed by and they got old, they were placed at a care facility as Isabell started suffering from dementia which was getting worse over time. Unfortunately, that resulted in having to keep the lovebirds in a separate rooms. 

Laurie Staver Clinton

62-year-old Laurie said how his mother was forgetful and didn’t recognize many people who were part of her life, but she never forgot Preble. “Sometimes we’d have to tell her to focus and look but when she looked and knew it was dad, she’d get that little smile” 

On Preble’s 93rd birthday, he only had one wish, and that was to be allowed to spend some time with his wife of seventy years. The facility staff were glad to grant him the wish and the two laid next to each other for more than 3 hours. 

Laurie Staver Clinton

“There was not a single word spoken between the two of them. They held hands and just fell asleep. I told dad, ‘This is mom’s birthday present for you.’ He was just so happy that he got to take his nap with her,” Laurie said.

On October 25, Laurie got the devastating news of her mother’s passing. She rushed to the hospital to say the final goodbye with Preble by her side. 

“He held her hand, and it was just so tender. I asked him if he wanted to stay after the prayers, and he shook his head. I said, ‘Okay, but you know that means you’re going to have to let go of her hand?’ I was crying, and he was crying,” Laurie recalled.

Preble died hours after his loving wife. It’s unusual how the two left the world on the same day. It was as though they were destined to live together, and die together. 

Their marriage was one of those that not everyone gets to experience. The old-school union in which a couple lives by the real values of honest love, respect, and never letting go.

“Mom and dad really lived out that, if you make a commitment, and even though life gets rough or life gets in the way, you work through life, and you live your life together.”

The below video is of a 92-year-old Veteran who sings to his wife. The relationships like that of Isabell and Preble, and the one below, are a reminder that true love still exists. 

Pentatonix Belts Soulful Rendition Of ‘Mary Did You Know

Our all time favorite a capella group, Pentatonix, never ceases to take our breath away while performing the much anticipated holiday hits. In the latest video they released, they give new life to the song “Mary Did You Know” and the whole experience is touching. 

They perfectly season the hit with a pinch of a modern-day flare and the final result is astounding. 

The scenery they chose only adds to the magic they create, which can’t be compared to any other rendition we’ve stumbled upon this following season. They make the Christmas spirit be felt as their voices blend in perfect harmony and fill the air with joy. 


YouTube

The song that catches the hearts of millions of people each season was originally written back in 1984 by Mark Lowry and despite its many renditions, none touches the soul as this one. The purity and the perfect blending of the voices of the members of Pentatonix will send shivers down your spine. 

Mark told The St. Augustine Record:

“At the cross on Mount Calvary, while Jesus was dying, [Mary’s] silence was a great testimony to the fact of who he was and is. He said to them, ‘When you have seen me, you have seen the Father.’ Of course, for this they nailed him to a cross, and his mother never said a word. 

As my mind went back to the manger scene, I began to think about the power, authority and majesty she cradled in her arms. Those little lips were the same lips that had spoken worlds into existence. All of those things were contained in the young child lying quietly on her bosom. Even now, he was the very one who had given life to his mother, Mary. 

I began writing a list of questions I would like to ask Mary if I could sit down with her – questions such as, ‘Mary, do you know who is in your arms?’ 

‘Did you know the one who holds creation together, and the one who holds you together is lying helpless in the manger?’ 

‘Did you know that your baby boy will walk on water, give sight to a blind man and calm a storm at sea with his hand?'”

From the moment it was initially released, the song had been performed by many talented musicians in very different stiles, but this version is sure to become your favorite.

The melody and the lyrics coming from the hearts of these performers reflect on the blessings Christmas have for each of us. 


YouTube

The five skilled vocalists from Texas put their talents on display for the world to see as they gently crooned out each note. Not only their voices are captivating, but the way they act and let the emotion of the song be shown through their facial expressions is just amazing. 

Once you hear them, you’ll want more. They beautifully capture the spirit of the song and the season.

Only a few more “sleeps” until Santa comes to town!

Hear for yourself how the best rendition of this song sounds in the video below. 

Customers Are Hit With ‘Truth’ After Man Pays For Groceries

Among all the pranks we get to see on YouTube, most of which tend to
bamboozle people and make them feel bad about themselves, a man named Stuart Edge who is widely known as an ultimate prankster, brings to us something quite different.

His viral videos of good pranks bring laughter and joy at the people from all around the world. To be honest, to come up with a perfect prank is not an easy job, but Stuart gets assistance from real professionals who help him pull his ideas off. In the last video, he got a helping hand from his friends Bart Johnson and Charan Prabhakar, from Disney’s High School Musical.

As Stuart says, “It’s the holiday season and it’s a great time to focus our efforts on giving back,” and we can’t agree more. 


YouTube

Bart and Charan are playing store cashiers, nicely dressed in green aprons, and completely into their role. 

Stuart comes up with the ultimate plan of helping random customers by offering to pay for their groceries pretending to be an angel sent from Heaven. 

So, while many people who are doing their shopping at the store wait in queue, out of the blue, a man in a fully white outfit comes along and starts a conversation with them.


YouTube

Stuart approaches and says he is coming from “management” that’s “upstairs.” 

The cashiers are very chatty and “can’t see” the man in white who makes small talks with the customers insinuating he is a real angel. The next thing he does leaves them completely puzzled as he places his smartphone near the pay station and pays for their bill. Once he does it, he just walks off while the people stare at him wondering what is going on. 

After this, the cashiers ask the customers whether they’ll use their credit card or cash to pay for their groceries, which confuses them even further. They say how their bill was paid already by the man in white who had just wandered off the store. 


YouTube

The shoppers are left in disbelief and can’t figure out how the cashiers don’t see the “angel.” When they point to the direction he left, Bart and Charan tell them how the managements’ offices are in the opposite direction which baffles the shoppers even more. 

Most people reacted with a smile, but there was one particular family whose reaction was so overwhelming that Stuart couldn’t proceed with the prank. 


YouTube

This family was struggling to make ends meet as they were about to pay for the groceries using their credit card. It was their son’s fifth birthday so they simply had to do everything in their power to buy things and celebrate it the right way.

This touched Stuart and the whole crew so they asked the parents to get back into the store and buy everything they need, all covered up. 

They couldn’t believe the kind gesture and tears of joy rolled down their faces. This kindness was their ultimate Christmas present. Now they wanted to do a good deed for someone else and pay the generosity forward. This was the best “thank you” Stuart could get. 

Take a look at the heartwarming video below. It may inspire you to become a “Secret Santa”, or like in this case a “Secret Angel” to someone in need of some holiday magic.

Man’s Small Act Of Kindness Rewarded With 5000% Tip

We’ve witnesses many times in life how an act of kindness, no matter how big or small, can go a long way and even change someone’s life forever. Being there for other people when they need us the most is what makes the world go round. 

Take a look at the following story that will remind you that no good deed ever goes unnoticed.

A young boy approached the counter of Freddy’s Frozen Custard and Steakburgers in Katy, Texas, with a handful of coins, trying to pay for a frozen dessert. Travis Sattler, the guy behind the register, took the money  and after carefully counting it, he could see the boy was $2 short.

“He wants to order dessert,” said Sattler. “He was a little nervous. Ends up handing me everything he had.”

YouTube

Sattler couldn’t let the boy leave the store without the treat so he pulled his credit card and paid the rest of the money.

“It’s on me,” the cashier said, and the child was very thankful. “He had the biggest eyes, the widest smile.”

Some time later, before that same boy and his  mother left the store, he approached Sattler again and handed him a note.

“It says, ‘Thank you for being so nice and paying for my custard. We need more people like you,’” Sattler read.

YouTube

Wrapped inside the note was a $100 bill. Sattler couldn’t believe how his $2 dollars brought him a tip so huge. He was rewarded for his kind heart, and he was beaming with joy knowing he made an impact and made someone’s day. 

“I like to think that I made a good impact on their day, and I kind of brightened it up, just like they did mine,” Sattler said.

Sattler says that it’s not about the money but about that feeling of fulfillment knowing you are a hero in the eyes of a little boy who may just follow your example and become a good person. 

YouTube

Both Travis and the boy were complete strangers before that day, but still they managed to share a very special moment none of them will ever forget. 

“Travis’ face is probably a face that boy will remember for a long time,” said Padden Nelson, owner of the Katy location of the franchise.

As good news spreads really fast, Travis’ deed was noticed by the restaurant owner who rewarded the generous employee with additional $100.

Travis is an example of how every employee should treat the customers. 

YouTube

The restaurant now wants to track the boy and his mother down because they have some gifts for them. Everyone is happy how this story turned out, with many people wanting to do a good deed themselves. Travis and the boy are such inspiration. 

Check the video below to see what Travis has to say about the whole thing in his interview for USA Today. 

Muslim-owned restaurant hangs huge note out front about Christmas day that’s going quickly viral

It’s simply amazing how the holidays bring in people the need to be kinder towards the less fortunate and spread more love to everyone around. It’s the Christmas spirit that makes us think of the way we treat others and how we can become better people and an important part of our community.

What everyone strives for when it comes to the holidays is to spend them in the company of the loved ones. Unfortunately, not everyone is lucky to be around family and friends for the special day. Many homeless people on the streets and elderly whose families seem to have forgotten about them are about to be all alone and not able to feel warmth or kindness on the day that’s all about spreading love and good vibes, and that really saddens our hearts.

Helping these people and making them feel important should be our number one priority, no matter their or our religion, or race.

A restaurant owner from London is showing us what Christmas is all about by doing an amazing act of kindness. He opens the doors to the place and offers free courses of meal for those who have no family or friends. Hasan Masud is a Muslim, and he doesn’t celebrate Christmas, but he is a generous and kindhearted man whose action touched the hearts of many. His sign has gone viral and people from all around the world regard him as an amazing guy whose example we should all follow. 

In this restaurant that serves traditional Turkish food, no one dines alone!

The restaurant, named Shish is located in Bexley, London. The owner spread the word through social media to benefit maximum people who can try the delicious taste of the Turkish specialties.

The menu for the occasion will include starters like soup and cacik. The main course will include chicken or vegetarian casserole or chicken shish. There will be rice pudding for dessert.

“We’re just helping people,” Hasan Masud, an employee at the restaurant, told Buzzfeed. “Lots of people stay home alone for Christmas. They don’t need to. They can come here and have some fun.”

“We are here to sit with you,” owner wrote in a note about the offer posted to the restaurant window.

This could be one of the most charming Christmas stories we’ve stumbled upon.

Please share it with your family and friends.
