Your time is the best gift you can give to your kids, because they grow up so fast and every moment spent with them is a memory to cherish forever.
This loving family definitely knows that making the kids happy is a number one priority. It’s amazing how much fun they have together.
Daddy and his little baby boy are staring at each other and both of them know that some good laughter is on the way.
Luckily, mom has her camera rolling and we get to witness the touching but funny scene.
YouTube
The little boy finds his daddy’s voice hysterical, and whenever he starts speaking, the cutie pie lets a uniquely contagious belly laugh. This is definitely the funniest thing they’ve ever heard.
The boy simply can’t stop laughing, which is true for his daddy too.
YouTube
The sweet sound resembles that of a little sheep. At one moment, the daddy exclaims in hysterics,
“You’re not a sheep! You’re a boy!”
With a laughter all of his own, his dad and mom couldn’t resist getting him to laugh as much as possible.
YouTube
This is the sound parents could listen to all day. It’s a reminder they are doing things right, making their kids feeling satisfied and loved.
The siblings have a blast as well. They couldn’t contain their laughter either. This is all so adorable that it melts our hearts.
YouTube
This cutie pie definitely made our day, and the way they all bond should serve as an example to other parents out there and remind them there is nothing more important than hanging out with your children.

Make sure you watch the video below, it’s really heartwarming.

Becoming a world famous singer do requires possessing amazing vocals and God given talent, but luck is always there in the picture. There are lots of people whose voice sounds out-of-this world, but they never made it in becoming starts or pursuing a career in the music industry.
However, thanks to the talent shows such as The Voice or X Factor, many struggling musicians get their chance to wow the world. You certainly remember Susan Boyle, the lady who stunned 10 million viewers of Britain’s Got Talent and became a celebrity over night. And as it’s normal for people to be noticed while performing on huge stages of popular shows, it’s definitely not that usual for a talent to be found on the street.
An older gentleman with long bushy hair, wearing gray pants, hitting the high notes of “Hallelujah,” sometimes accompanied with a guitarist with torn jeans, stunned the onlookers and everyone who got to listen to his divine voice.
YouTube
This man is Herbie Russ. He spends his days helping the homeless make enough money to go through the day. At times, he can be noticed puling a trolley and sifting through garbage, but what he really does is using his voice to entertain the passersby who will hopefully put some money in his box. This time, Russ has been seen singing the amazingly ear-catching rendition of “Hallelujah” while sitting under a tree. People say he often sings while walking by the side of the road, while his amazing voice is blending with the noise of the driving vehicles.
YouTube
You’ll be amazed to hear that he does all of this for his fellow friends on the street. All the money he makes are for them.
In fact, this generous man is a professional musician, singer, and a songwriter. He had borrowed his voice to many companies, and can be heard doing the commercials of General Motors, AT&T, the Ford Motor Company, and Fox Network.
However, Herbie didn’t have an easy life. He had been kicked out of his home when he was a teenager and he’s been living this kind of life ever since. He survived playing for bands, and sleeping on couches.
YouTube
When he found himself at the crossroad of life, not knowing what to do with his talent, he somehow found himself in front of a shelter for homeless people. He though it was a sign from God to use his voice in order to help the less fortunate. But, when he offered to sing and play for the residents, the shelter’s staff turned him down. This didn’t discouraged Herbie. On the contrary, he started doing gigs and used the money he was making to ease the life of the people who needed a push in life.
He has many bookings for shows now, but helping others remains his life mission.
It’s amazing what this man does for the community. His kind deeds affect the existence of many people who are left alone and have no one by their side.

A wedding ceremony should be anything but ordinary. That’s the special day in the life of a couple who commits to love and cherish each other until the end of time.
Every girl’s dream is having a perfect picture wedding, starting from the wedding gown, the cake, the venue, the flowers, and everything that adds to the flawless event.
Mary Holand Tosse is a bride-to-be from Norway who added a pinch of awesomeness to her wedding ceremony and left everyone, including her husband-to-be, speechless.
YouTube
The enchanting ceremony took place in a fairy-tale like lit church with huge wooden doors everyone was waiting to open and see Mary walking down the aisle by her father’s side.
As the church organ produced melody that warmed everyone’s heart, Mary did her part in treating her guests with a traditional song she performed as she was going towards the love of her life.
YouTube
She pulled a microphone and began serenading her fiancé, as she was holding her bouquet of yellow roses and her father’s hand.
Both her beaded dress and her soft voice glistened as the touching words and the melody of the all time favorite “You Raise Me Up” echoed in the air.
YouTube
The overwhelmed fiance Ronny can’t believe the amazing surprise. The guests are left in awe as well. This is just another proof that he hit the jackpot marrying this lady.
The way these two are looking at each other is how we want to be looked at by the one person we love.
YouTube
This really is an incredible scene to witness unfolding in front of you.
Miss Universe is the annual event millions of people are waiting in anticipation.
Gorgeous women are walking the stage, doing their best to show both their inner and outer beauty that would hopefully enchant the judges and the audience.
These women take part in various categories, secretly dreaming of being crowned the winner of the show.
Last November, dazzlingly beautiful Demi-Leigh Nel-Peters from South Africa won the title and captured the hearts of people from all around the world. She also stole the heart of one very special person. Her attractive looks accompanied with her strong faith in God made her the country’s sweetheart.

When she met Tim Tebow, the athlete who makes difference in people’s lives, everyone agreed they were a match made in Heaven.
“She is a really special girl and I am very lucky and blessed for her coming into my life,” Tebow said.
Instagram/demileighnp
Among the numerous charities and events missionary Tebow runs, one brought him and Demi-Leigh together. “Night to Shine” is an event for young people of all abilities that Demi-Leigh’s sister with special needs attended. Demi herself is a founder of an organization that helps these people.
That things between the two are pretty serious is apparent. Their families met after the Tebows invited Demi-Leigh’s parents to their 47th wedding anniversary celebration.
Instagram/demileighnp
The couple is known for their devotion to God and their life-mission of helping the less fortunate.
It looks as though Demi-Leigh agrees with and follows along her sweetheart’s mission of “bringing faith, hope, and love to those needing a brighter day in their darkest hour of need.”
This gorgeous Miss Universe proclaims her love for God through her Instagram posts. Also, through her involvement in charities such as God’s Love We Deliver.
People, however, only learned of her strong commitment towards the divine during this year’s ceremony of passing the crown to the new Miss Universe.
Instagram/demileighnp
The words she spoke as she passed the crown to this year’s winner Catriona Gray touched the hearts of many.
“First, all glory goes to my Heavenly Father and Savior Jesus Christ,”
This reminded everyone that even in the time of glory, we should always praise our God, because He was the one who guided us through our path to success.
Many kids grow up with a favorite stuffed toy by their side. These huggables are their best friends that never leave their side. Well, who would fight against the monsters under the bed if not the plushy bear, turtle, or even panda?
Leon is a 10-year-old boy who seems to love toys a lot. However, this particular “Lovable Huggable Panda” stole his heart the moment he laid eyes on it. Staying there on the shelf of their local Asda store in Hunt’s Cross, it looked as though it was waiting for Leon to notice it and take it home.
With sparkles in his eyes, he rushed to him mom Debbie and asked her to buy the panda. He really didn’t want any other kid to get it before him and make it their pal. Unfortunately, Debbie didn’t have the money with her and had to say no. At least until the next payday. This was devastating news for lovely Leon who already named the toy ‘Pandy.’
After they left the store, the staff could see something that brought smile on their face. Leon placed the Panda in an empty cardboard box and left a heartwarming message on it.
“My mum doesnt have anuff money, so she’s byeng me Pandy next week 15 June. So please don’t bye him it will make me cry – thank you so much from his hopeful future owner. Pandas name is Pandy.”
Facebook/David Bateman
This was enough for the employees to step in and make sure this panda ends up in the hands of the boy who loved it so much. They all gave some money from their own pocket, paid for it, and then posted it on Facebook hoping the future owner will stumble upon the post. Luckily, that’s exactly what happened.
“A few days later I was flicking through Facebook – I hadn’t realised until then what Leon had written – he’d really poured his heart and soul into his message.”
Facebook/David Bateman
Debbie and her son got back to Asda where the employees were waiting for Leon. They handed in the panda to him and he was beyond grateful and happy.
“As he was walking out he said to me ‘This is the best day of my life’. It meant the world to him – thank you so much Asda!”
Facebook/Asda
What the staff did for Leon didn’t only affect him, but the whole family. During their toughest period, while they were still mourning the loss of Leon’s baby brother, this kind act came as a reminder that no matter how hard it gets there are still things we should be grateful for.
“In January my son Oliver was born prematurely and passed away four days later so it’s been a really tough, difficult time for all of the family, especially the children who were so involved in the lead-up to the birth.”
We are so happy this very special boy got the panda he so much wanted to have. We are sure he will keep it as a loving memory of the good act even after he gets older.
Celine Dion has ensured for herself a firm place on the list of the all-time favorite vocals in the music industry. Charles Alexander of Time once described her as “the power behind songs” who can easily manipulate her voice shifting from ballads into pop music. Her performances are effortless and elegant, and she never ceases to surprise us with her talent, such as when she appeared on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.
She showed the world once again that she isn’t only a singer, but a performer who knows how to charm those listening to her perfect singing and her sweet dancing. This time she nailed it impersonating other artists.
YouTube
Once our favorite host mentions the Wheel of Musical Impressions, where artists have to push a button to see which artist and song they need to copy, Celine says how she’s seen other guests done it before and she goes for it.
Celine’s first pick is her fellow colleague and friend Cher and the song “Frere Jacques.” This fun and entertaining performance brought laughter at the audience.
YouTube
The second pick was Michael Jackson’s “One Dance” that’s done mostly by Jimmy who is really good at it. He showed some killing singing skills himself.
Next is Rihana and the nursery “Row, Row, Row Your Boat.” One would think it’s hard to perform a kid’s lullaby sounding like Rihana, but when it comes to Celine nothing is impossible. She first pretends for it to be a challenging task, but then quickly starts singing the song to the tune of Rihana’s “Work.” But the real surprise here was seeing Celine dancing. She really rocked that stage.
Now this has to be the best part of all. Celine’s final pick is Sia for the song “Hush, Little Baby.” However, for the whole experience to be complete, Celine needed to look like Sia as well so she asked Jimmy for a wig, but the only thing she got was a stuffed toy.
YouTube
Doing this last challenge, Celine showed everyone once again she’s a top-notch artist with a wide vocal range who easily hit the high notes of Sia’s “Chandelier“.
This doesn’t really come as a surprise because she always had certain dose of sharpness in her voice. Some of her all time favorite hits are “Because You Loved Me”, “All by Myself”, “It’s All Coming Back to Me Now“, and “The Power of Love“.
Check the video below and enjoy this fun side of Celine we don’t get to witness that often.

16-year-old Max Greenwood’s parents have to be honored to raise a boy with such a strong moral compass who wouldn’t let another human being be in trouble without offering help.
Even though many people believe that helping others is important, when it comes to actually doing so, not many step in. It’s probably like that because things are always easier said than done.
Max was on the road one day when he noticed the vehicles in front of him trying to maneuver around a car that was parked on the side of the road.
Facebook/Mary Ann Pudelko
No one seemed to care enough to stop and check on the driver who was out of his car and visibly distressed and shaking. But Max couldn’t simply pass by someone who was in a desperate situation, so he jumped of his truck and rushed towards the man.
Max later shared his story with KREM News saying:
“A few people were honking and a couple of people passed him because they were frustrated he was stopped. I didn’t want to just honk and be a dirt bag like that.”
Seeing the brave boy taking action made two other women stop and offer help as well.
The man wasn’t feeling well and couldn’t even open his mouth to tell Max and the women what was going on. After a couple of minutes, however, he gathered the strength and tell them how his blood sugar levels were very low. One of the women offered him a can of Coke, but it didn’t really improve his condition.
Max told KREM News how he thought that calling 911 at that point was the best idea, so he did just that.
An ambulance arrived within minutes and they offered the man medical assistance.
Max was asked what made him stop and offer help, to which he said:
“It’s a person. If I was in his situation, I would want someone to help me…. I stopped because I always try and make an effort to help people on the side of the road.”
Max’s mother couldn’t be happier for what her son did. Beaming with pride, she shared her thoughts on the incident.
“You preach to your kids that you need to do the right thing, and when he did I was really proud.
In this day and age, when a lot of kids don’t think about anyone but themselves, he stepped up and it made a difference.”
Without Max’s quick thinking, there’s a good chance that the motorist’s blood sugar levels would’ve endangered his health.

This story gives us hope that we can rely on the kindness of the future generations.
There is really nothing that can help erase the pain of losing a parent. When children lose their mom or dad while they are still young, they will always wonder why their guardian left them and is not by their side any longer. This can affect their childhood, and even their life as grown ups.
This is unfortunately the fate of many kids whose parents lost their life in combat while serving the country. These kids’ parents died as heroes whose deeds will never be forgotten.
When a plane full of children of fallen military members was announced at the Nashville airport, everyone present took the time to pay them respect by singing the national anthem as the plane boarded.
Facebook/Jen Tringle
All these children are part of an annual event called Snowball Express. They are offered a trip to Disneyland on the state’s expense.
Watching all these kids gathered together, trying to move forward with their lives made everyone very emotional. People even had tears rolling down their faces. One of the people who witnessed the event was Jen Tringle. She believed this was worth sharing with the world so she recorded the whole thing and posted it on her Facebook page.
Facebook/Jen Tringle
In her post in social media, Jen shared:
“When they announced them over the loudspeaker and they lined up to board the plane the whole airport literally stopped and sang the national anthem with military present in salute. Most every person standing around, myself included was bawling at the sight of these kids and spouses who have paid so great a price for our country. To see all of this at Christmas time was so humbling. Seeing the general public in an airport stand still to honor these kids was simply beautiful.”
Facebook/Jen Tringle
And as nothing could bring their parents back, at least we can do our best to try to comfort these loving children by offering our respect to their loved ones who lost their lives for the well-being of the country.
This is definitely an experience Jen will never forget.
In an email she sent to ABC7, she shared:
“I’ll never forget it myself, witnessing an unannounced standstill like that by the general public – out of honor.”
What would a wedding be without “the dress” which is the most important addition to the breathtaking looks of the bride that walks down the isle right into the perfect new life? Not much, really.
The search for the right gown can be tiring because it has to be simply impeccable. The price is irrelevant, and it doesn’t matter if the family has to pay a small fortune for it as long as the bride-to-be looks stunning in it.
However, the photo of this particular wedding gown has gone viral and all for the right reasons. It’s not only eye-catching, but incredibly tasty as well. Yes, you’ve heard that right. This beautifully and precisely done gown is edible and probably the dream cake of every couple.
Emma Jane’s wedding dress inspired cake simply awakens the senses of taste. This never-before seen cake creation caught the interest of the picky people blessed with both an eye for high couture fashion and a sweet tooth.
Instagram/emmajaynecakedesign
The original design of the dress was created by fashion designer Mak Tumang. The gorgeous cake is a replica of the “Angela” gown that is both breathtaking as a dress and as a cake.
Even though “stealing” other people’s designs is a type of crime, that obviously doesn’t apply to the edible versions of the creations, especially because they don’t last very long and don’t leave evidence behind, except maybe for some crumbs on the plate.
Instagram/emmajaynecakedesign
The sparkly and flowery cake took Emma Jayne 10 days to make. Because of the size of it, which is six feet tall, it took six people to lift it over Emma’s garden gate.
She used around 132 pounds of fondant to create the dress, and 110 pounds of modeling paste to make the flowers.
Luckily, it got to the right place untouched and safe.
Instagram/emmajaynecakedesign
Emma Jayne originally created this edible art to show off at London’s Cake International, which is a trade show that gives super talented bakers the opportunity to show off their sugar-laden creations.
“We were asked to choose a wedding dress designer and make a cake based on one of the wedding dresses. I was asked to make the only life-size wedding dress and chose Mak Tumang as his designs stopped me in my tracks. They are simply incredible.”
Mak Tumang was part of the show and was more than happy to pose next to his dress design which was turned into a mouth-watering cake.
Not only he wasn’t mad at Emma for using his drawings, but he was indeed flattered because she chose exactly this model, which is one of his favorite.
Instagram/emmajaynecakedesign
The details of the dress are incredibly real. To be honest, if you see it at a wedding dress store we are absolutely convinced you are going to confuse it for a real dress.
It wowed everyone who got to see it and left people in disbelief. The main color of this mesmerizing creation is bluish-grey and the flower petals are crafted as a 3D form.
The back, however, is pretty stunning as well. The details added are crystals that add to the overall experience.
We know that we would really like to taste this masterpiece, but we also feel it would be pity to ruin it.
The Busbys are one of our most beloved American families. We wait for each new episode of their show OutDaughtered to air in anticipation because we can never have enough of the busy, but fun life of this family of eight.
Adam and Danielle are the parents of six daughters, five of which are the only all-girl quintuplets in the U.S. Being around so many girls has to be a bit difficult for the only guy in the family who always makes sure to make his girls’ days enjoyable.
YouTube
However, no matter how hard it is to fulfill the needs and the wishes of their daughters, the members of this family are never bored. They won’t stay still but are always looking for new adventures.
This time, it’s Buzz’s birthday, that’s how the girls call Adam, and he is arranging a party with a cake.
They all sing “Happy Birthday To You” out loud, and the little ones swing their bodies to the rhythm, all dresses in cute pink dresses for the special occasion.
YouTube
The family is having a blast as they are trying to cherish a very special moment which turns into a priceless ending once daddy blows the candles out.
It’s not surprising the video has been seen more than 14 million times.
YouTube
Dad, however, has no idea the reaction of some of the girls will be so “strong.” The little one from the right seems to be mad because she didn’t get to blow the candles herself.
One of the comments says, “Well, we know who the drama queen is going to be in 15 years lol.”
YouTube
The girls’ response is priceless! Watch for yourself!

Being the only provider in the family, Cheryl Stewart, the lunch lady at Teton High School in Deiggs, Idaho, doesn’t have it easy. She is a hardworking woman who struggles to make ends meet because her husband who suffers from lupus and is a cancer survivor, just like Cheryl herself, is unable to work.
This incredibly brave lady does other jobs too. She cleans the U.S Forest building as well as the seminary at the Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. And if this isn’t tiring and time-consuming enough, she finds the time to make rolls for all the funeral services in the Teton Valley.
YouTube
It’s amazing how Cheryl would always put other people’s needs on the top of her priorities list. She is one of those rare individuals to whom the happiness of others means more than her own. Despite the tough time she is experiencing, Cheryl keeps going forward.
Her relatives and friends only have words of praise for their most loyal and most loving friend. Some of them, or one of them, took the time to do something nice for her by writing a letter to Nate Eaton of East Idaho News, the Secret Santa who changes lives.
“Cheryl works from sunup to sundown, and in-between. She’d give you the shirt off her back and everybody loves her. Right now she’s using a borrowed car because the engine blew in their van. She’s actually having surgery too next week during her time off because she can’t afford to take additional time off from work.”
After reading this anonymous letter, he gave Cheryl the surprise of her life.
YouTube
When Nate and his crew entered the school building and called Cheryl’s name she knew something big was going to happen. She got so excited that she nearly collapsed. The first thing Nate asked her was about the rolls she mas making for all the funerals in town and the reason why, to what this humble lunch lady said, “Just because I’m good at it.”
She was then handed in a tiny box with a check for $100 inside. Cheryl was grateful, because she needed every penny, but didn’t know that it was just a tiny part of the huge surprise they were about to reveal.
YouTube
As Cheryl and the crew headed outside the school, she was given another tiny box, and that’s when she started sobbing crocodile tears filled with shock and joy. As she was about to go and check the second gift she was asking the students to join her outside.
Seeing the new brand vehicle parked in front of her was a dream come true. She couldn’t wait to test it and go for a ride. She even had the money for gas and for the registration.
This very special lady got exactly what she deserved. We are so happy for her!

When are people going to learn not to mess with seniors? They’ve been through thick and thing during their lifetime and are way more experienced than the youth. They know how to be witty and many times their comebacks either leave us speechless or make us burst out laughing, like in this case.
We went to breakfast at a restaurant where the ‘Senior Special’ was two eggs, bacon, hash browns and toast for $2.99.
“Sounds good,” my wife said, “but I don’t want the eggs.”
“Then I’ll have to charge you $3.49 because you’re ordering a la carte,” the waitress warned her.
“You mean I’d have to pay more for not taking the eggs?” my wife asked incredulously.
When two people decide to tie the knot, they believe it’s forever. But sometimes being with someone through better or worse is harder than it seems, and many couples nowadays see the divorce as the only logical solution to the obstacles they are facing as married partners. Instead of trying to smooth things out, the union ends with hard words said to one another, long and tiring custody battles, and children who are confused and wonder what is happening.
However, even if this is the case, people who have children together should try their best to make their offspring feel loved. Co-parenting is not easy, because once you split with the person you were once together with, it’s common to judge their parenting abilities. Joint custody arrangements can be exhausting and fraught with stress, but sometimes, that’s the only way to assure your kids retain close relationship with both parents.
We do believe that there are tips that can lead to great co-parenting, such as setting the anger aside, and not putting the kids in the middle giving them the choice to choose between their mom and dad. But at the end of the day, being a co-parent is easier said than done and we do believe every person has different opinion on the matter.
The below story is one example of how the kids’ needs should be on the top of the list of priorities of divorced parents.
Laura Lee and her two kids, Darcie 11, and Callum 9, were about to have the time of their life taking a Mediterranean trip. But to their surprise, there was a familiar face at the airport, waiting at the same terminal. The kids were left puzzled, what was their dad doing there? Was there any chance that he was coming too? Yes, Dean Bone was going to Cyprus with his ex-wife and their kids.
Being separated didn’t mean they couldn’t put their misunderstandings on the side and take vacation together, all for the well-being of their little joys.
This story is a very special one, and has been shared by many people who believe that many other parents who share custody of their kids should do the same. It’s obvious that both Dee and Bone have made a concentrated effort to keep things copacetic.
In an interview with Newsflare, mom, Laura Dee, gave a statement many parents in her situation can relate to. “As parents seeing our children upset is hard, all we want is to make our children happy. Co-parenting is hard for many people but we are proud of what we have achieved with bringing our children up.”
Now that you know the background of this special family, it’s time to take a look at the heartwarming video and the ultimate reaction of the lovely boy and girl who realize their vacation will be like the one they used to have, with both their guardians by their side.
If this isn’t the perfect co-parenting, we don’t know what is. We do believe these mom and dad are so caring and devoted that they’ll do anything for their kids’ happiness. Please share your thoughts on this subject with us in the comments below.
How someone looks like and what they eat shouldn’t be anybody’s business. However, many times, people believe they have the right to judge others only because they consider themselves smarter and better looking. This type of behavior is inappropriate and rude, and affects person’s privacy.
The below video shows two girls waiting in line to order their meal at the local McDonald’s. At one moment they notice an overweight guy standing in front of them, and that’s when they start laughing and ridiculing his physical appearance. They have the courage to speak directly to his face, saying how he is “fat” and how he shouldn’t be eating at McDonald’s or anywhere else.
How would you react if you witness this type of bullying while at your favorite restaurant? Would you step in and stand for the victim?
This is actually a social experiment conducted by the YouTube channel Troll Station that will let us know how many people would be willing to defend someone who is publicly shamed for being obese.
YouTube/one lonely Dude
I don’t know what your thoughts on this video will be, but I honestly believe that it took the onlookers a lot of time to interfere, while the girls won’t stop mocking the guy, constantly repeating he should leave the store without getting any food.
YouTube/one lonely Dude
Check the video and see the facial expressions and eventually the reactions of people when witnessing such a horrible scene.
At the end of the day, being obese is not always a person’s choice. We should always have in mind that each individual is going through tough times during their life that may affect the quality of their lifestyle. Or, being overweight can be a result of a hormonal dis-balance or other similar condition.
Would it kill us if we show a bit of empathy and compassion for those that don’t fit the “standards of beauty” we sometimes tend to follow? I guess not. But people can be cruel and emotionless. Luckily, there are always those who won’t put up with bullies like the two girls in the video, and that gives us hope that not everything is as bad as it looks.
Note: high use of profanity — watch with caution.

Life is full of surprises and many times when we act in a certain way we don’t really realize that what goes around comes around. The good thing is that this is true for good deeds as well.
This story is just another reminder that we should always lend a helping hand to those in need of kindness and a few words of compassion, because we may never know the impact we have on someone’s life.
Chris Wright was on his way home getting back from church when he and his family stumbled upon a lady staying in the middle of the road during a heavy rain. They didn’t stop, but continued driving. However, once they got home, Chris felt he made a mistake for not stepping in and told his wife:
“I have to go back. I have to help her.”
Carmen wasn’t at all surprised by her husband’s action.
“You know when you have an urge and a desire something to do good? He was raised that way. He’s kind and generous to everyone. He’d never picked up anybody before, but he felt compelled.”
He got in the car again and was determined to track the lady down. He prayed she was still there. Luckily, he could easily spot her walking in the rain. Apparently, she run out of gas and money and had no one to ask for help. Chris was more than happy to pay for the gas and give her some cash.
The woman who introduced herself as TunDe was beyond grateful for what this generous man did for her.

Life went on for Chris who now had worries on his own. His mother Judy was diagnosed with Parkinson’s Disease and needed an around the clock care.
Because of this, Chris hired some nurses that would assist his parents who weren’t able to do things by themselves.
One of the nurses, however, seemed to take extra special care of Judy. Carmen said:
“She cared for her in the most respectful way. She had the utmost respect for human life.”
This nurse and Judy became really close. One day, she even shared her life story with Chris’ mom telling her how she didn’t have it easy, until an event form 2014 completely turned her life for the better. Apparently, a man helped her one day and that gave her hope to continue her fight and become a nurse.
And as you are guessing already, that nurse was TunDe and the person who changed her life was Chris.
“The encounter that had blessed them both three years ago, came full-circle. We don’t believe in coincidence. We’re a family of faith.” Carmen said.
Chris simply couldn’t believe that a couple of bucks for gas and a lift could inspire someone to do such a drastic change. He was really happy for his acquaintance. But this is not how the story ends. Chris learned how TunDe wanted to continue her education but needed money for the tuition. He and his family were willing to help this loving lady again.
Sadly, Judy passed away, and that’s when Chris decided to ask his family and friends to do a kind deed and instead of bringing flowers at the funeral, to donate that money to the YouCaring Page they set up to help raise funds for the tuition.
To TunDe’s surprise, the family raised around $20,000. She couldn’t believe she was given that much money. These people were sent from God. They not only changed her life, but made it perfect and filled it with joy.
Screenshot via YouTube
After a short period of time, random people donated additional $14,000. That was enough for TunDe to purse her dream of becoming a professional nurse. Words couldn’t describe how grateful she was for everything Chris and his family did for her.
This girl’s reaction to the surprise is beyond adorable.
Don’t forget to help a person in need whenever possible, because people like Chris and their good deeds is what make this world go round.

They say that if you have a family and a couple of good friends, a roof over your head, and food on the table, you are way more lucky than you think, because millions of people have neither of that. That’s why we should always be thankful for what we have, especially during the holidays.
However, we should never forget that we get to enjoy everything God has given to us because of the peace we live in, which is secured by the brave men and women in the military.
This time, some of them not only made sure we are all safe and sound but made our day by performing in front of the all those people at the National Air and Space Museum’s Milestones of Flight gallery.

The official Air Force Band’s website wrote that the group is comprised of a host of talented musicians. They explained:
“[The] United States Air Force bands consist of one premier band, eleven active duty bands and five Air National Guard bands that feature our nation’s finest professional musicians. Our bands honor, inspire and connect reaching over six million listeners at over five thousand live and televised performances each year. Each band operates within their own geographic area of responsibility representing America’s Airmen to a global audience.”
The skillful musicians put on display an amazingly mesmerizing performance which attracted everyone who got to listen to their angelic voices. The vocals first burst through the loudspeakers and a crowd rushed to check what was going on. One thing was for sure, it was going to be something huge.
It wasn’t a small group of performers, but astounding 120 band members who were about to blow the audience’s mind with what’s one of the best flash-mobs ever.

It’s amazing how these heroes of ours took the time to make this holiday more enjoyable and more memorable for the people at the museum and for all of us who got to see the footage.

With the news about becoming parents comes a bunch of responsibilities even before the baby is born. The future mom and dad make sure they have everything ready for when the bundle of joy is welcomed into the world.
However, those nine months spent in expectation are at the same time the most exciting and the most nerve wracking period in the life of the parents-to-be. They can’t help but wonder whether everything is going to be fine with the baby while in the womb.
The thing is that whatever happens in the mom’s body during this period can affect the growth of the baby, so following doctor’s orders of what to eat, whether to exercise or not, and similar things, is of crucial importance in delivering a healthy baby.
However, we can never be 100% certain of what is going on with the baby until we have it in our hands, because if there is certain interruption in the fetus’ development, it can result in various problems or health issues.
Do we have the power to change this? Unfortunately, not always. So the only thing we should do during the pregnancy is mind our habits by keeping them healthy.
Sometimes, however, things can get a wrong turn. Unfortunately there are babies out there that are born with certain defects and diseases that can be a result of genetics or other factors such as a tied umbilical cord.
The umbilical cord is what connects the mother and the fetus. This cord helps the delivery of nutrients to the child. Many times doctors witness how the cord is wrapped around the baby’s neck, which is one of the reasons for a C-section deliveries. However, in the case of one newborn, the cord was tied in a knot and it left the doctors shocked.
Facebook/TheFacts
Right after the delivery took place and the doctors congratulated the parents on their child, they noticed the unusual umbilical cord.
They said how it was a real miracle for the baby to be born perfectly healthy knowing there was a knot that could easily prevent for it to be properly fed while in the womb.

“Hurry up dad, take a picture your baby is a miracle,” the doctor said to the dad.

We are glad this family’s story got a happy ending and we wish this little angel has the perfect life ahead of him.

The way we treat veterans and seniors speaks a lot about us as a society. They have done a lot for the community and the country in general during their life and service and being kind to them is the least we can do to make them feel important and cared for.
The staff at the Arby’s know how to make their guests feel like home by being polite and making sure everyone is served in a timely manner. However, they all confess they have a favorite visitor. The 97-year-old Doug is a World War II veteran who lives all by himself and spending time at Arby’s is the only social activity he has.

When they see him coming, the employees make sure they open the door for him and then escort him to his table. And in case he can’t make it to the place, they deliver his lunch to his retirement facility.

One day, the employees decided on surprising their most loyal customer with a $200 worth of Arby’s gift card. A man named Daniel Moloney was visiting Arby’s the moment the staff handed the gift to the veteran and was stunned by their act of kindness. He understood how they do it simply because they all love old Doug.
The veteran was shocked by the surprise as well and couldn’t thank all the employees and manager Christina Gamage enough. They definitely made his day and reminded him how special he was to each and every one of them.
“We love that you come in and see us … We really enjoy you here and we always want you to come back.”

Doug just said, “You got to be kidding me?” and started chuckling.
“Thank you. I never know if I’ll be here the next day, but thank you so much for this.”
Christina said everyone at the restaurant looks forward to Doug visiting them. They go out of their way to make him feel right at home.
“He’s gone through a lot being a veteran, coming in, being in a retirement home, but he doesn’t have family.”

Daniel, the guest who was caught there during this heartwarming scene snapped a photo of himself and Doug and shared the whole thing on Facebook, saying:
“This is one of those moments that make you happy to be alive. There are so many good people in the world. These employees selflessly put in their own money, so a elderly (sic) man could come in and enjoy dinner on what he never knew could be his last.”
Manager Christina Gamage told Fox 10 that Doug’s lovely reaction to the surprise made them go one step further and offer him free meal for life. The story now went viral and caught the attention of other generous people among which a local optometrist who offered the veteran free eye care.
This story is a perfect example of how we should care for the elderly. Because as they get old they are many times left all by themselves and a simple act of kindness can make the rest of their days more enjoyable.

It’s not a secret that most Hollywood couples only last for a couple of years, sometimes months, which makes Kurt and Goldie’s relationship of 34 years one of the rarest that lasted for so long. And what’s the secret behind this might be their love and mutual respect for each other, as well as the fact that they never tied the knot. Kate is their only child together, but they have three more children from previous marriages.
Rani Rose is their sixth grandchild, and she is the daughter of musician Danny Fujikawa and Kate’s first daughter. She has two boys, 14-year-old Ryder and 7-year-old Brigham, from previous marriages herself.
Kate will finally get to decorate a room all pink and dress her baby girl in cute lovely dresses. Below, beautiful Rani Rose is pictured wearing a sweet turban, laying on a pink blanket.

The gorgeous baby was named Rani after her father’s late father Ron Fujikawa. Danny wanted this, and Kate loved the idea, thinking it’s a nice tribute for the man that meant so much to her husband.
Luckily, Rani Rose’s other grandfather, Kurt, is there to spoil her rotten and buy her piles of toys and dolls.
As for the other grandchildren, they love their grandparents so much that they call them Gogo and Gogi. Is there anything else Kurt and Goldie could ask for.
Parents are those people who make sure we never get off the right track. They are our support, and as long as they are part of our life, we know we have someone to rely on whenever we feel the need.
That is why the loss of a parents is one of the most devastating things one can experience. When they are gone, we feel empty for a very long time, and coping with the grief is not easy.
However, we will always have the memories that will remind us of the beautiful moments we got to share with our loving moms and dads.
A woman from Florida who lost her mom has an unusual story to share.
Denise Underhill grew up in the small town of Tamworth in Staffordshire, England. However, after her beloved mother passed, she felt she had to change something in her life so she moved to the sunny state of Florida.
But being away from her home town didn’t stop her from thinking about that old house on Chaytor Road where she spent the best years of her life, together with her family that she dearly missed.
Recently, Denise felt really nostalgic for the good old days, so she grabbed her computer to look up for her mom’s house on Google Earth. But what she never though was that she will get a pleasant surprise that will deeply touch her heart.

The house didn’t belong to the family any longer, so Denise knew it may not look the same as she remembers it, but then the photo of the place popped up on the screen it left Denise completely stunned.
“I got the BIGGEST surprise EVER! I just couldn’t believe it. At the foot of the driveway was my mother. She was watering the garden, just as she always did. I was absolutely astounded – it made my day.”
Screenshot via Google Earth
The photo was taken while Denise’s mother was still alive and they failed to update it ever since. The old lady could be seen working around her garden, as she would do while she was still there. And while some find this surprise spooky, it was the sweetest thing ever for Denise.
“You never know what photos are being taken but they really do last a lifetime … I think someone wanted me to see this.”
As life goes on and we sometimes lose the ones we love the most along the way, we are glad we have the pictures and the memories we carry in our hearts to remind us of their presence and what they meant to us.
One day back in 2017, 21-year-old Pavin Smith was listening to his mother Pam talking about how many years she and his father Tim had left to pay off their house. It was a burden and a monthly obstacle to overcome, and it was clear that the money worries were a constant source of stress for his parents. It was then Pavin realized how he wanted to surprise his parents for Christmas. Pavin decided to use some of his $5 million baseball signing bonus to pay off his parents’ mortgage entirely, as well as a good portion of their home equity loan. He had wanted the gesture to come as a surprise to his parents, but people who know him were not surprised by his generosity. To many, Pavin was always selfless.
Pavin eventually progressed to a travel ball team after playing T-ball since a young age. When Pavin turned 12, Tim decided that he wanted to see him play more often if possible. Both of his parents invested their time and money in Pavin’s baseball ability, but they never expected him to play professionally. Pavin became part of the high school varsity team as a freshman – a year later, he was recruited by the team for Virginia. After entering the world of professional baseball, Pavin thought of his parents. He recalled the long car rides, effort and the money they spent on his training sessions. With his newfound wealth, he wanted to do something special for them. Pavin rolled up a sheet of paper like a scroll and buried it deep in the family’s Christmas tree, his parents found it – and the rest was history.
Watch the surprise happen again in the video below!
Thank you for everything you have done for me! This doesn’t make up for any of it. Love you both so much. Our home is finally all YOURS. Merry Christmas! pic.twitter.com/h9wog2HfHv
If you want to learn more about the American history and spend a fun day outside then visiting the Capitol Hill in Washington DC would be just the right thing to do.
Among all those museums, libraries and other amusing things you can stumble upon, the most unusual of all are the tiny doors placed throughout the entire place. Each of these doors has a distinctive color and they are so small that no person can walk through them. So when Rebecca Rainey, a reporter for Independent Journal Review posted a picture of them on the social media it made people wonder what these doors’ purpose might be. Many even joked how they are specially designed for tiny elves to be able to run from one room to another.

One follower wrote:
“True story: they had these doors installed for the Keebler Elf. Now that he’s not in the Senate anymore, who knows what they’ll be used for.”
No matter how great the story about the elves sounds, they actually have another purpose. Rebecca felt as though she needed to learn the story behind them and share it with all those people whose curiosity she had awoken.
As it turns out, the miniature doors were installed after a fire ripped through the Capitol building back on Christmas Eve in 1851.

Back in 1851, the building was the home of the Library of Congress and with that a place where the most important historic collections and documents were kept. These included Thomas Jefferson’s personal collection of written work.
On Christmas Eve day of 1951, the place caught on fire and the library suffered the most, mainly because there wasn’t access to water in that part of the building. John Jones, the security guard who first took notice of the fire rushed downstairs to get some water, but by the time he got back the fire swallowed the library.
Brave firefighters from seven fire stations managed to put out the flames, but the consequences were devastating. Two-thirds of Jefferson collection was gone along with other priceless materials.
The main reason for this extent of damage was the fact that John Jones didn’t have an easy access to water.
Taking note of Jones’ report, the Army Corps of Engineers built the tiny doors to conceal the newly installed water faucets that were accessible throughout the entire Capitol Building.
They are also used for the janitors to fill the buckets with water.

Teachers are a perfect proof that not all heroes wear capes, some are armed with a bunch of crayons and a bag full of papers to grade, as well as innumerable tiny and sparkly notes and cards that remind them how good they are at what they do.
Constantly torn between lots of commitments such as preparing lesson plans that are supposed to fit each student’s needs, check lists, reminding tiny humans not to eat their pencils, only 5 minutes break to finish their lunch, and a lot more, they don’t have it easy.
However, the fact they are perfect in the eyes of so many kids who grew into nice humans only because of their teacher’s positive influence is worth all the struggle.
Sonya Romera teaches in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Her goal is not only to make sure her students learn new things, but she cares whether they have clothes and food for the day.
This inspirational teacher’s story got to the one person who truly appreciates everyday heroes who do so much for the society, Ellen DeGeneris. Sonya was part of Ellen’s show not assuming it will be all about her.
When the moment of truth comes, Ellen invites a shocked Sonya to come on stage with her, which she does with her mouth hanging open. She goes on to tell Ellen about the incredible things she’s done for her students.
Besides making sure that the children are fed and washed up before class started (using her own money to buy breakfast and toiletries for all the students), Sonya has gone as far as to take in needy students. She has taken in two foster children who were former students and has been caring for them as her own for the last six months.
That’s when Ellen showed her a video that her crew made of her students and co-workers thanking her. Needless to say, Sonya, her son, and Ellen herself were absolutely in tears by the end of the video – and so were we!
But, of course, that was not the end.
Ellen proceeded to give Sonya not one but two incredible gifts. And if the video didn’t have us crying, this act of charity certainly did! You have to watch it for yourself to see all of the emotional moments.
It couldn’t be more clear the impact that this teacher has made on everyone she comes across. She is truly one of those magical people that changes every person she meets for the better and we hope people are inspired to follow in her inspirational footsteps.
What do you think of Ms. Sonya and her heart of gold? Were you touched by her story or Ellen’s incredible gift? Share your thoughts in the comments section below.
As everyone is eagerly waiting for Christmas to arrive, the young kids are the ones who are most excited of all. They love this period because they get to meet the big old man they all love so much who is there to grant all their wishes and bring them piles of toys.
But for one little girl, Christmas and Santa mean asking for another type of gift.
Steve shared the emotional encounter between Santa and his little girl and people’s hearts are melting.
Little Tylor asked the man from Bass Pro Shop who was under the mask of Santa to help her cousin Ashley heal and be healthy again.
“This is my daughter Taylor who surprised us by telling Santa that all she wanted for Christmas was for Ashley Freihoff (her cousin) to be healed of leukemia,” Steve wrote in his post.
“Wow what a tear jerker to hear your daughter break down to the one she believes can do anything.”
It wasn’t his daughter’s request that brought this burly man to tears, though. Santa’s response was too much to handle.
“Santa then did something that was more amazing than what my daughter did,” Steve’s post continued.
“He has a hundred kids in line and I’m sure he has had kids all day begging for the toys they want him to bring.”
“ This man stops all the commotion and tells her he even as Santa does not have the power to heal but knows someone who can.
Then Santa bowed his head and prayed with my daughter for her cousin,” Steve wrote.
This can make even the toughest of guys shed a tear.
“I am a big tough guy but there I stood in my favorite store bass pro shops crying like a baby,” he added.
“Thank you Santa for showing my family and everyone there what Christmas is really about.”
Steve added:
“Please feel free to share this as I hope this amazing man sees this post and knows how much he touched my family tonight.”
This dad’s post has been shared more than 120,000 times on Facebook and once Love What Matters shared it on their page, even more people have seen it and shared it with their family and friends.
Christmas is indeed the most wonderful day of the year, but for families who are facing difficult situations, such as an illness of a family member, it can be even tougher to go through the holidays that are all about laughing and making memories for a lifetime.
