Delivery Man’s Antics Caught On Camera Have Gone Viral

Delivery guys don’t have it easy because they follow strict schedules and have to make sure they deliver every package on time. On top of that, they have to be extremely cautious with the items they deliver because many are fragile and need to be handled with care.

Their breaks are short so they usually have something to eat on the way. They brave the rain and snow, and any other bad weather conditions.

A homeowner was looking out of the window when she spotted a white van pulling by her house. It was the delivery guy. But this time, he didn’t only deliver the products but did something that made the owner laugh hard.

Luckily, we got to see the act because of the cameras that are positioned towards the driveway and the front porch. We are actually happy that this guy knows how to have some fun doing his job, because otherwise it kind of consist of being in the vehicle all the time, which might be boring.

As he got out of the vehicle it was apparent the delivery guy was in a good mood, that turned even better.

There was a hopscotch pattern drawn on the driveway, so the guy decided to go for it and started hopping. Seeing a grown up man playing children’s game is kind of fun, because it brings us back to our childhood. His reaction after he finished hopping is what made us laugh.

He punched the air with his fists as if he won a big game and it’s kind of adorable. Well, he did have a victory that day, the one of making our day.

As he continued walking up the front door, he realized the homeowner was looking at him the whole time.

With a huge smile on his face he asked her:

‘”Did you see me do the hopscotch?”

Laughing, the homeowner replied, “I did, yes.”

He himself starts laughing as he heads towards the van after bidding the owner to “have a good day.” The homeowner shared the video on social media because she knew the delivery person’s antics will make others laugh as well. The video since went viral.

The hopscotch definitely brightened this guy’s day, and his hopping skills brightened ours.

The arrival of a new baby in the family is the most exciting and most beautiful moment in the life of the parents. As for the kids, meeting the new sibling can either be a sweet moment that will touch the hearts of many, or it will make the older ones turn green with envy.

This adorable little girl gets to see her baby brother for the first time and her reaction is simply adorable. The mommy is beyond happy that her daughter instantly falls in love with the baby so she decided to share the first meeting between the siblings on the social media.

Although every parent hopes their children will always get along, it’s not always the case when the children are young. Now as it was the time for the girl to meet her brother at the hospital, the mommy was told she had a special visitor. And there she was, the sweetest little girl, now a big sister, all dressed up and more than thrilled for the meeting. She’s clutching a purple stuffy and has a look of confusion mixed with excitement spreading across her face. It’s obvious she is looking forward to meeting her new best friend.

When she sees her mother being in a hospital bed, she is worried at first and asks:

‘”What happened?”

As everyone in the room starts chuckling, the mommy tells her to come closer and see what she is holding in her arms. Then they ask her whether she knows who that tiny human is and as the little girls takes a look at the newborn baby she is over the moon and shouts:

‘”My baby brother!”

Mom tells her “yah!” Then asks if she wants to see the baby.

She says “yah” and walks towards the bed letting out a ton of squeaks and squeals. The scene is too cute not to watch.

She is reminded to go and wash her hands before touching the baby but she just can’t wait to take it in her arms and once she takes her coat off, she immediately reaches for the baby.

It’s obvious she is going to be one hell of a sister who will love her brother to the moon and back. She is a precious girl who stole the hearts of everyone who watched her lovely reaction.

We hope the sibling will always be by each other’s side.

Groban Shares Behind The Scenes Footage Of 99 Years Duet

Nobody can stay indifferent to the powerful voice of Josh Groban who never fails to amaze us with every new piece of music he makes. Although considered by many a romantic singer, he says his goal is to perform for people who like all different kinds of music.

The resent masterpiece we got to hear from Josh is “99 Years.” Even in the process of making the song, he was certain this had to be a duet and he knew just the right person. When he and Jennifer Nettles recorded the song, we all knew Josh did the right thing. The music is touching and catchy all at once.

Now that everyone fell in love with the song, Josh felt like he should give more details of how it came to be.

He found the inspiration for “99 Years” in the lifelong romance of his parents. Their relation is indeed something special, and John hopes to find in his life what those two have.

‘”It’s one of those songs about the uncertainty of what’s ahead… So I kind of wanted to write a song about the romance of those uncertainties. That’s something that hits home for me. I thought of my parents when writing this song.”

Josh says how young people these days don’t understand the kinds of relationships like that of his parents.

‘”My parents are celebrating their 50th wedding anniversary. I think many people in my generation and younger wonder, ‘What are they thinking about, the future-future?”

Instead of making long term plans for their future, the young generations are only interested to get what they want that instant.

‘”It’s a very topsy-turvy world we’re living in. And when I think about my parents and their last 50 years… all of the years of history that they’ve lived through, all of the trials and tribulations and hardships that they’ve gone through together… you know, right? That’s not something that I can fathom, not being married yet.”

We hope this superstar we all love will have the same luck to experience the kind of love his parents have for each other.

Son With Special Needs Helps Dad On His Worst Day Ever

Sadly, the world is not kind to people with Down Syndrome and there are lots of misconceptions surrounding this genetic disorder. People tend to look at these people differently and often with discrimination and prejudice. All this, along with the stares they get, may result in undermining their self-confidence.

A father of a loving boy with Down Syndrome wants to change the way these people are perceived by the society and wants to raise awareness of how important they are so everyone should embrace them in their life because they are wonderful souls.

He shares a heartwarming story of how his son is his savior who was by his side during the darkest day of his life.

Jeff Church recalls how his son JJ pulled him from the state of despair and misery without asking any questions, by simply offering his presence and support. And that was more than enough for a father to feel in order to get the strength of moving forward. Frank Somerville, a reporter for KTVU news shared the father’s touching words.

‘”It was long ago… I was at the end of my rope. I had just received a phone call that made everything in life even worse.

I felt my world was collapsing around me. I was lost. And with that one call, I had given up hope.

Too emotionally spent to even stand, I broke down in that big empty home. It was dark, dusty and cold. I cried with the heartache of a child. And all I could hear was my cries echoing back at me.

Then I heard JJ running up the stairs from his room. He found me in my master bedroom on the floor, in the dark curled up against the bed. He knew to keep the lights off. He saw I was inconsolable….”

‘”Instead of asking me what’s wrong like someone else might, JJ rocked me. He sat on the floor next to me and he held me tight. And he rocked me.

And JJ told me: ‘It go be okay. It go be okay. It go be okay. It go be okay’ in perfect rhythm as he rocked me. ‘It go be okay. It go be okay.'”

Jeff hopes everyone will understand how compassionate people with Donw Syndrome can be. They are willing to offer their support and help without the desire to go into details of why someone needs it.

‘”That was a rough night. And JJ got me through it. That night JJ was beyond his years.

JJ has his limitations. He has cognitive delay. He stutters a bit conveying his thoughts.

But when it comes to moments of the heart, they’re compassionate and understanding with no conditions. That makes them genuine and real.

We should all have a little bit of Down Syndrome in us. They’re way nicer people than we are.”

October is Down Syndrome Awareness month in the U.S and it is all about making people familiar with the syndrome, which will hopefully make them more acceptable of these people as well as others who are a bit different.

Mom gives birth to daughter after 40 hours struggling – the doctor looks between her legs and froze

By

Kelly White

Just like most other couples, this couple, husband and his wife Nicole Ziesemer really wished and prayed for the strength to have their pregnancy as natural as possible.

WHat they actually wanted was as few medical interventions as they could, none at all, if at all possible, so they hired a midwife and hoped that their sweet baby would be welcomed to the world in their home, not even having an ultrasound., wow!

But we are sad to say that in reality, things did not quite go to plan…

Matthew’s and Nicole’s little baby was expected to be born on January 30, as fate would go through, Nicole had no choice but to dash to the hospital a full four and a half weeks earlier!

The couple was amazed when her waters broke so early in December, on the 29th to be precise…

Matthew and his wife were left with nothing else to do but to pack their bags, in a rush, and get to the hospital, their timing could not have been any worse because before they left Matthew had to clear the driveway of snow from a snowstorm…

The snowstorm combined with the awful road conditions slowed things down but they were still able to get to the hospital that night and Nicole’s contractions carried on through Saturday…

Now all this had happened she pretty much abandoned her thoughts to a natural birth.

Though Nicole was still adamant about one thing, that she held onto steadfast, that she would not take any medicine or drugs or even anesthesia to help her during the birth.

But eventually, this plan too fell by the wayside, and after 30 hours, her husband knew in his heart he had to take action…

He wasn’t about to see his wife unduly suffer, she had given her all at that point…

The two of them made an agreement, Nicole would take medication to help induce the delivery, she really had to at this point, then Nicole’s labor started to go more smoothly.

A full 48 hours after her waters had broken she was welcoming an adorable little girl into this brave world…

Then the doctor delivered the placenta too…

Then the doctor kind of froze, his eyes were like marbles, the couple we stunned by what he said next.

Doctor Megan made an announcement, she could feel a head, Nicole was only delivering twins!

It was truly a day that no one could forget at the hospital staff included!

She gave birth to a son too, named Cade, entering this world just 1 hour after his elder sister did.

Nicole needed some to recover after the birth, it really was a stressful and long birthing.

Cade had suffered from having fluid on his lungs because of complications during his birth, Blakeley was healthy and well after being born.

The proud parents said that Cade is doing really well and doesn’t need any more assistance breathing. He’s expected to leave hospital any time.

Nicole remembers:

“My first thought after delivering the second baby — ‘Oh crap! We need a second crib, a second car seat, a second everything’”

However, the reasoning for this big change of plans at the last minute is as good as it could really be, not all parents get a surprise like this, another baby, wow!

You can see the video below of the whole family as they realized that they were having twins!

What a magical surprise for all of them indeed, and they were able to share the magic with the whole family too!

We really hope that the family will prosper and gave great health and all move in a positive direction each and every day.

Like and share to wish them all a great future and to be happy and well!

New Photos Prove Kate Hudson’s Son Is The Best Big Brother Ever

This October is very special for one of our favorite actresses Kate Hudson who we love not only because of her remarkable acting skills, but her optimism and vibrant personality. She and partner Danny Fujikawa announced the birth of their baby daughter on the 2nd of this month.

Kate is already a mother of two handsome boys, Ryder, 14, and Bingham, 7, and this is the first girl in the family so everyone was happy for her arrival, and now that she is here everyone is thrilled to meet her.

There is no doubt that Kate will be a wonderful mother to her baby girl, as she is to her sons. And speaking of the boys, we were touched by the photos the older son posted online. It is clear that they are excited to be around their little sister.

Hudson shared a three-slide Instagram, revealing the baby’s birth date and her name:

‘”We have decided to name our daughter Rani (pronounced Ronnie) after her grandfather, Ron Fujikawa. Ron was the most special man who we all miss dearly. To name her after him is an honor.

Everyone is doing well and happy as can be. Our family thanks you for all the love and blessings that have been sent our way and we send ours right back.”

The happy couple’s relatives and friends flocked to their home to see Rani. Her brothers expressed their joy over Rani’s arrival by holding her in their hands, singing lullabies, and looking at her with admiration which can be seen from the photos posted on Ryder’s Instagram page.

In Ryder, Rani will have a friend for life.

His excitement can be seen from adorable expressions he makes while holding the precious baby.

We are sure this beautiful girl will be lucky to grow up into a lady like her mother and that she will have her grandmother’s (Goldie Hawn) smile.

But before that, we hope she’ll have a wonderful childhood, surrounded with her parents and her two brothers who love her to the moon and back.

Make sure you watch the video below for more info on Kate’s pregnancy and her life.

Football Team Leaves Cheerleader Speechless When They Toss These At Her Feet Before Game

Compassion and empathy make the World go round and whenever we hear of people doing good deeds, our faith in humanity restores.

What the football players of Foothill High School did for their classmate Ashley Adamietz vowed the world.

This young girl who was recently diagnosed with Chronic Myeloid Leukemia felt “shocked, overwhelmed, and speechless” after her classmates showed their support for Ashley. That Friday night is something she will never forget.

Ashley undergoes daily chemotherapy treatments ever since she was diagnosed, and her friends understand how horrible that is, so they make sure she knows they are by her side.

The football captain Ryan came up with the idea of all the 57 players to lay an orange rose at Ashley’s feet after the game. Orange is the color for leukemia awareness.

‘“She’s part of the Cougar family,”

Ryan said,

‘“so why not let her know that we’re all here for her. We are. So I wanted to let that be known to everybody, and especially to her, for what she’s going through.”

This act was caught on video and shared online. People from around the world who got to see the emotional moment, praised the football players.

Ashley declined the interview requests because she is undergoing treatments. However, she spoke to her coach who says she really appreciates all the support.

Joey Brown, the head football Coach said:

‘“We took care of family business before we took care of business on the field.”

Dad Sits for Days Outside Wife’s Bedroom Door, Refusing to Leave Her Through Cancer Battle

When we feel that we are ready to take the ‘next step’ with someone we love, it means fully committing to that person forever, especially during rough times and difficulties. Tying the knot means having someone in our life who would be there to support us no matter what, someone who would always take our side, someone who would like and hate the same things as we do, and for the same reasons. Marriage is sacred and lucky are those who have chosen to spend their life with the right person.

Unfortunately, nowadays many couples reach for divorce even after the first obstacle they come across, but that only means they didn’t understand the true meaning of marriage.

On the other hand, there are couples like Jon and Marci Newman whose relationship and commitment to one another is something beyond beautiful and inspiring. This is their story.

It all started when Marci learned that she had thyroid cancer. Her life turned upside down, and everyone around her was affected by her condition. She had to undergo radiation treatments that required from her to be isolated in her room. Her husband, however, couldn’t imagine spending his days without her so he did something truly amazing that made his daughter Mackenna so touched that she shared it with everyone.

Both Mackenna and her mother Marci are truly lucky to have a person like their father and husband in their life.

He really wanted to be by his wife’s side during her tough times, so he found a way to support her without being exposed to the radiation.

“My mom has to stay in her room in isolation for her cancer radiation so my dad set up a desk at her door to keep her company and I’m crying,” Mackenna wrote on Twitter.

Once Mackenna uploaded the photo, many people shared it with their friends.

This wasn’t the first time for Jon to be doing this, actually he sits outside Marci’s room the whole time. Marci says her husband is a loving person who supports her all along.

“Jon goes to every doctor’s appointment, every blood test, every surgery, every radiation. And as you can see, if he can’t be by my side he is as close as he can get,” Marci told The Independent.

We really hope there are more people like Jon out there who never leave their spouse’s side no matter how difficult life gets. These two are an example of what a marriage should be all about, and that’s love, devotion and never giving up.

Our prayers are with Marci.

Parents Share Famous Sextuplets Picture, 34 Years Later They’re Back With New Family Photo

Exactly 34 years ago, the world welcomed the first set of healthy female sextuplets. Everyone who got to hear the news, witnessed the miracle of life. The new parents, Janet and Graham Walton, were beyond happy with the new additions to their family. They knew that raising six children had to be challenging, but the joy of having them in their life was worth every sacrifice these parents made.

© facebook / Collecting old photographs of liverpool places Read

Janet managed to conceive after years of fighting with infertility. But once the beautiful baby girls were on the way, she forgot about all the medical treatments, the numerous failures, and the pain she had to endure along the way.

It is rightly said that,

‘‘hope is being able to see that there is light despite all of the darkness’.

Janet and Graham never gave up on their dream of becoming parents.

And as they say, good things come to those who wait. The news about the pregnancy was received with excitement and disbelief. After so much time, the Walton’s prayers were finally heard. However, the real surprise came when they were told they were about to welcome not one, not two, but six babies.

The girls arrived in December of 1983. All of them were perfectly healthy and the delivery went as planned.

Hannah, Ruth, Luci, Kate, Jennie and Sarah brought endless joy and happiness in the life of their parents. They were the most famous sisters in Liverpool and often caught the eye of the media who was interested to learn how this family lives.

When Janet recalls the first years of the life of her miracle babies, she says how she and her husband were so busy with the kids that they barely slept. Actually, she remembers shutting their eyes for only an hour or two, and that was it. However, Janet never complained because having those girls was a dream come true.

Janet says,

‘“We lived through those early years in a blur. And the only regret is that there wasn’t enough time to enjoy them as much as we’d have liked.”

Graham added,

‘“I loved those early years so much. I couldn’t say one phase was better than the others”.

The girls have been very close ever since they were born. They are not only sisters, but best friends too. They always rely on each other during tough times.

One of the sisters, Sarah, gave birth to an adorable baby girl in 2014, who is loved to the moon and back by her grandparents and her five aunts.

Everyone is excited for the baby, and she will definitely be spoiled by all that attention she is about to receive.

‘“It flooded into me the moment I saw the pictures from her first scan”.

Seeing the Walton’s together after such a long time is simply overwhelming.

We hope Janet and Graham will soon become grandparents to more grandchildren who will bring additional happiness in their life.

Crowd Loves Wartime Performance’s Special Twist

Britain’s got talent is a show where we get to see performers of every kind. Some of them are just random people who only want to feel how it’s like to be on stage, and others wow us with their stunning skills.

During one of the episodes, a group of nine girls took the stage and the way they looked left everyone in surprise. The girls wore historical military costumes and had their hair pin-rolled. Their vocal skills were amazing and had the crowd cheering during this one of a kind performance.

They were positioned in the form of V and the visual effects only made the whole show even more spectacular.

The girls’ group is known as The D-Day Darlings and they mainly perform classic World War II songs. This time, they chose the Vera Lynn’s song “The White Cliffs of Dover” which was originally written decades ago and made into a 1994 motion picture.

The effect was even greater with the audience waving red, blue, and white glow sticks.

This song still evokes deep patriotic feelings at those who listen to it.

‘”I’ll never forget the people I met braving those angry skies. I remember well as the shadows fell the light of hope in their eyes. And though I’m far away I still can hear them say ‘bombs up.'”

The voices of the nine members of this unique group blend perfectly and are a real pleasure for the ear. Back in 2008, when they started performing, the group consisted of only three members. Founding member Katie has many family ties to the armed forces including her grandfather Clifford Storr who was an RAF Flight Navigator for the Lancaster Bomber.

So far, the group has made many appearances at different historical events. At the end of their performance on Britain’s got talent they’ve prepared a real show for the judges and the audience.

Many war veterans took the stage along with the girls. They were wearing their uniforms and their presence made everyone emotional.

The applause the group and their guests on the stage received was loud and it was obvious the show they prepared was indeed one of a kind and worth the great finale.

This is definitely a must watch! Enjoy and share it with friends.

Grieving father sends warning to all after watching his baby girl die of herpes

By

The joy of welcoming a new baby in the family can’t be compared to any other feeling. So when Jeff and Natasha found out they will be parents soon, they couldn’t hide their happiness. Having that little creature in their life was everything they ever wanted. The two were looking forward to creating memories and spending days filled with laughter with the little one.

When their daughter finally arrived, they felt like the happiest people on Earth, until a devastating tragedy took place. Their daughter died just three weeks after she was born. Now all those plans for the future were crushed and replaced with lots of tears and sadness.

However, the anger of the tragic loss grew bigger once these parents were informed of the cause of death, and the fact that it could possibly have been prevented.

Besides being crushed and grieving the loss of his daughter, he knew he had to take the time to share his story with the parents-to-be in hopes of preventing any other baby to share his daughter’s faith.

In an emotional (and educational) post, Jeff said:

‘”I’ve been pretty silent since Mallory’s death. It’s taken me over a month now to write this, but if any good can come from her passing and prevent someone else from experiencing the heartache, then I would be remiss not to make an effort.

If you have a new baby, or will be around a new baby, wash your hands. A lot.

If anyone wants to hold your baby, make sure they wash their hands first. Then make them do it again…”

‘”HSV-1, most commonly known as the virus behind cold sores, is a form of herpes (Herpes Simplex Virus-1). It is EXTREMELY common, and the World Health Organization estimates that 67% of all humans on Earth are infected. To make things worse, many people who are infected will never show symptoms in their lifetime and probably don’t even know they have it. For newborns, it is more than likely fatal, as was the case for Mallory.

You might think it should have been easy to diagnose. Surely someone with an oozing cold sore kissed her on the mouth, right? Mallory was never in contact with a person who had an active cold sore. Never. Nobody ever kissed her on the mouth. In spite of that, she caught HSV-1 within her first week of life and we had to watch her die slowly for nearly 2 weeks. Mallory could not keep her hands out of her mouth and eyes and she was constantly sucking on her fingers [see picture above]], so it’s almost certain that the virus got onto her hands at some point. It is possible to be contagious even without an active cold sore.

She had no symptoms beyond a high fever for most of the first week, and by the time blisters showed up it was probably too late for the antivirals to be effective. Considering that more than half the world has the cold sore virus, we don’t understand why so few infants die from the disease or why our beautiful daughter Mallory was the unlucky statistic, but that’s the way the world works I suppose.

Please, if you’re reading this, be extra diligent about washing your hands around newborns. Statistically speaking, you’re probably infected with HSV-1 whether you know it or not.”

Please remember to always wash your hands before touching a newborn baby. This father wants to spread the word of the consequences of not doing so.

We hope Jeff and Natasha will get the chance of becoming parents soon.

Please share their story with your friends.

Special Needs Homecoming Queen Can’t Believe King’s Actions

By

Monica Pop

Who wouldn’t want to be named the school’s homecoming royalty? Getting the crown means your contribution and achievements didn’t go unnoticed by the educational organization. It’s a great honor indeed.

However, the homecoming of Douglas County High School was quite different and touching. When the homecoming king ripped the sash and removed the crown, the crowd was left in awe when they understood why he did that.

YouTubeAt the game, Brad Cooley was crowned royalty along with the 17-year-old Meghan who suffers from a form of cerebral palsy that prevents her from speaking on her own. Megan has a best friend named Ian who was also part of the high school reunion. What is special about Ian is that he’s got Down Syndrome. Meghan and Ian have been best of friends from the moment they met 12 years ago and the two were planning on attending the homecoming dance party together.

Once the party started, Cooley knew there was someone out there who deserved the title of a king more than he did. So he took his crown off and gave it to Ian.

‘”Something didn’t feel right to me, it didn’t feel like I was the one who was supposed to have it. There was just something in me that was like, I just felt like it would be better deserved for someone else.”

No one could hold their tears back when they learned what this young man did from Meghan and Ian. Meghan’s mom said:

‘”It was amazing to have just the sweetness of sharing that moment, it was really amazing.”

And Jim, Ian’s father, also commented Cooley’s act of kindness. This made his son unbelievably happy.

‘”It was really overwhelming, so it is a very, very special, it was a special night and a special memory and we’re going to hold on to that one.”

The act came just at the right time. Unfortunately, Ian’s mother passed away two months before that party took place. She lost her battle with cancer, and although the family was still grieving her loss, they were certain she would have been overjoyed if she had had the chance to witness this special moment. Both Ian and his father know that although she is not physically present, she will always live in their hearts.

‘”She was my hero before she was diagnosed. Yeah she was, yep, she was and she still is and our hope now is that with the help of a whole team of other people the work that she did and just make the world a better place not just for Ian, but for everybody.”

Both families appreciate what Brad Cooley did because its a perfect way of teaching people how important it is for these people to be included in the community. And the smiles on their faces definitely speak inclusion. Compassionate people like Cooley make this World a better place.

Mom Notices Stunning Similarity Between Baby’s Ultrasound And Now

When Sarah Kelleher Steppling saw her newborn son sleeping in a quite catchy position it resembled something she’d seen before. She found the situation so heartwarming and compelling that she simply had to share it with everyone she knew.

But, little did she expect that her discovery will go viral in the blink of an eye. People though this was the sweetest thing ever. Once you see her post, you’ll understand why everyone is crazy about it.

She shared her story with Love What Matters, where she posted the amazing pictures you are about to see side-by-side, and discussed motherhood as well.

This is what Sarah wrote:

“The first ultrasound we had was done at 18 weeks, and it got all the bone structure, so he looked just like Skeletor or the Krampus! So when I saw this sweet baby-faced image that was taken at almost 39 weeks I did think it was adorable, but frankly, I was just glad he didn’t have horns! It’s unusual to get such clear images that late in the game, but the woman doing the ultrasound really knew her way around a uterus. We were super happy to get such great images.

I didn’t immediately make the connection to the ultrasound when I first noticed he slept with his arms up. I saw the ultrasound hanging on my mother-in-law’s fridge when he was several weeks old and that’s when it hit me.

He still does that! He is the king of taking it easy.”

“I made the side-by-side comparison and was amazed by how similar they were in every little detail. I decided to post it to Reddit because I thought it was interesting content someone else might enjoy seeing. Also, it’s nice to communicate with the outside world after countless days inside nursing a newborn. Sometimes it feels like nothing exists except for me, my baby, my boobs, and the couch!

Having my son has been life-changing. I just look at him and start to cry sometimes because I love him so much. He’s a chill little dude. Keep him fed, changed, and cuddled and he’s happy. My mom says my husband Ross and I don’t know how lucky we got with him.

He had unexplained hemolytic anemia and severe prolonged jaundice for the first month of his life, which is why he’s resting on that blue light. We had doctor visits every 1-2 days to monitor his blood and a 48-hour stay at the children’s hospital, but he took it all like a champ.

Now, he’s almost 3 months old and starting to wake up from his newborn phase and wants to play and interact. His dad loves to make up songs for him on guitar and we change song lyrics to fit his name in as many times as we can.

Every time he smiles at me I melt. He just started doing this gentle chuckle thing the other day and my heart almost exploded. He really is as laid back as he looks. We try to anticipate his needs, so he really never has much reason to cry for very long. We consider ourselves very lucky and try and not to take for granted that all this good humor could run out at any time!

I’m looking forward to seeing what kind of kid this baby turns into. I can’t wait to hear what his voice sounds like. My husband played guitar to my pregnant belly all the time, and I was in ‘Sister Act’ the musical during my 2nd trimester, so we are curious to see if any of that rubbed off on him and if he is musically inclined when he’s older. And, of course, I’m looking forward to him saying Mommy for the first time!”

It’s unbelievable how this baby chose his best and most comfortable sleeping position even while the womb. We are so glad we got to see the adorable pictures.

If you found this story cute make sure you share it with your friends.

Heroic Navy Seal Rescues Retired “Unadoptable” Military Dogs

By

Monica Pop

Being in the military takes lots of courage and dedication because it doesn’t only mean fighting for the safety of the country, but also spending time away from the family and the loved ones. However, this kind of life is as difficult for the military dogs as for the humans.

After serving in the army, many dogs have difficulties adjusting to their new way of living.

The four-legged soldiers face different challenges during their service such as gunfire, sniffing out bombs, stumbling across bodies and many more. They don’t get to enjoy all the luxuries family pets receive, such as sleeping in a comfy bed, playing fetch, walking in the park, or having bunch of dog toys.

After spending certain time in the military, many of these dogs get physically exhausted and are no capable of performing their duties and as a result of that, they are dismissed. But the question is, what happens to these dogs afterwards.

Well, we know where the fortunate dog soldiers continue their life; under the wings of a very special man named Mike Ritland who is a former 40-year-old Navy SEAL. After serving 12 years in the military, Mike founded the Warrior Dog Foundation where he strenuously strives to bring these poor pooches back from the shell of a dog they’ve become.

For six years now, Mike has been working with the dogs in hopes of reprogramming them from what they were trained to do, and that’s apprehending enemy soldiers and sniffing explosives. Mike does all this because he wants the dogs to be able to enjoy a peaceful retirement “in dignity and grace, the way they deserve, for their service to their country.”

‘”Every one of these dogs would be in a box full of ashes on somebody’s desk if we weren’t taking them. So we are the last-ditch resort for these dogs.”

Because these dogs’ sniffing abilities are so keen, they are huge targets for the enemy. For that very reason, they must wear bulletproof vests and have security cameras attached to themselves.

‘”It’s impossible to quantify the amount of lives that those dogs have saved. It’s in the thousands, or even tens of thousands. The ‘man’s best friend’ adage … is understated. We definitely got the good deal out of that.”

Make managed to help over 50 dogs that was brought to him. Most of them are now rehabilitated and adopted by loving families.

‘”These dogs ask nothing of us and provide so much for our troops, for our police officers, for our communities, for our nation. For us to give these dogs what they deserve is both an honor and a pleasure. It’s important that these dogs are never forgotten.”

The dogs are now trained again, but this time the training teaches them how to run free, play fetch, play with toys and everything other dogs do. Eventually, each of these furry animals will end up in a home where they will be surrounded with people who will treat them as family.

Watch the video below to see Mike’s story and what he really does for the dogs.

4 Pound Dog Is Soaked In Her Own Urine Then Rescued By Shelter

There are not many things worse than seeing unhappy animals, for us animal lovers anyway, they all deserve to be fed and to have all the love and attention that we can possibly give them.

It’s a great shame to say that far too many fall through the cracks and don’t get the love or attention, quite the opposite actually.

This little Shih Tzu dog called Liz really had a hard time of it, more so than most, poor girl!

She was found by a great samaritan that took her to the Trio Animal Foundation shelter, in Chicago, Illinois.

When she got there the staff were completely shocked by the poor girl, she was really sick she was so skinny, with a weight of 4 pounds, it was a wonder that she was even alive.

Liz’s body temperature was not good, she was so cool that it hardly registered on the thermometer even, completely emaciated and her fur all matted to her skin.

As if things could be any worse for the poor girl she was soaked in her own urine too.

The staff at the shelter took her straight away to their partner vet for immediate emergency care, the vet was even astonished at her atrophied muscles, there was nothing of her hardly at all…

She certainly couldn’t even stand up on her own, it makes our heart sink….

Normally an adult Tzus could weigh in between 10 and 12 pounds, as you can imagine Liz’s weight was alarmingly low compared to this.

They gave fluids to Liz with an intravenous drip into her body, and then also some small pieces of meat, it’s really crucial to feed her really slowly, because of how weak she was.

The treatments began to work, albeit very slowly, but it looked like Liz was on her way to recovery.

Liz’s condition gradually began to improve, and her stomach could start to handle larger portions of food. Just a few days later she was able to hold her head up by herself.

It is unclear how Liz ended up in her dire condition, but she is thankfully improving and making great strides. Whoever abandoned or mistreated Liz in any way should be justly punished, but unfortunately, it remains a mystery how the sweet Shih Tzu ended up in this way.

Thank you so much to the good Samaritan who had the heart to bring Liz in for treatment instead of just leaving her to her horrible fate. We wish her all the best of luck in the future and hope she gets the loving home she so deserves!

Creepy stranger attempts dragging 12-year-old into his car – boy remembers parents trick and teaches man a lesson

By

In today’s society, we must all be very aware, one prime example of this is a 12-year-old boy called Duncan, he was walking home from his cousin’s house and a man, who drove by in his car, tried to snatch the boy, right off the street!

It’s the worse nightmare of all parents, a terrible and grave thing when a stranger attempted to get Duncan to come closer with the promise of candy!

He really was not prepared for Duncan’s awfully clever trick, one that taught the guy a real lesson that he would not easily forget!!

People that linger around schools and on the streets near schools and on school runs are not a new thing at all, sadly, trying to capture children, but parents are educating children against how to cope with these situations for a good long time now.

When this 12-year-old, Duncan, was on his way home, walking, going from his cousin’s house to his home, he felt very anxious as he passed a car that was stationary because it had a guy in the car that looked suspicious.

The guy would roll down his window and, according to the news channel, he shouted:

“Hey kid, do you want some candy?”

Not suspicious at all right? Well, Duncan was on to it…..

He straight away gave a very firm and defiant ‘No’ to the question, but the stranger did not want to simply give up there!

THe guy then stepped out of the car, walked towards the boy and apparently grabbed him by the shirt!

Duncan retaliated though, he tried to drag Duncan into his car, it was then that the boy, only 12-years-young did a completely awesome trick his parents taught him to do.

Duncan held a keyring tight, in between his knuckles like he remembered his parents showed him, and as the stranger turned his face he punched him with that hand.

The guy dropped in pain and shock, it was just the time duncan needed to run to a park and hide behind some rocks there, then he saw the guy drive off!

Dad Jerry said:

“There’s 1,000 different scenarios that could have gone differently”

“One little thing could have gone wrong and be a different story. We don’t even want to think about.”

Share this story with everyone you know, it could save even more children and hepk parents to educate their children, it could be the impetus to take action for their children!

Stay safe and stay vigilant too!

Teacher Catches Boys In A Patriotic Act In The Pouring Rain

By

Jessica Jones

This is the story of Nate and Issac, two 11-year-old boys who show us what it means to love and respect the country you live in. What they did during a stormy and rainy day stole the hearts of many Americans.

The boys are very devoted to their job as safety patrol at their school Coppergate Elementary in Middleburg, Florida. The boys couldn’t even imagine that what looked like their ordinary day at the job will be noticed by so many people who will show their respect towards their action. They took great care of something Americans see as sacred, The Stars and Stripes of the nation.

The boys who were given the task of lowering the American flag during school dismissal didn’t see the bad weather as an obstacle to treat the flag with utmost respect. They simply knew they have to approach their duty seriously because they are aware of the importance of the flag for the people of their country, and for them as well.

Not only they got out on the pouring rain, but they completed the 13 folds and they gained the respect of everyone who got to see their action.

The school media specialist wrote a Facebook post saying, “Not only did they bring the flag down, they also stood in the wind and rain and calmly completed the 13 folds. Then Nate protected the flag as he walked with honor and respect to retire it for the day.”

The whole story was reported by the FOX 30. According to them, Issac and Nate don’t think what they did was special because that is how everyone should approach the country’s flag, with respect. People believe that the American politic is currently in turmoil and seeing young children treating their country with such respect gives us hopes that in the future things will be better.

The school representatives say the boys should be given recognition for their“…responsibility, respect, devotion to duty, and love of country.” And they add, “They were folding the flag reverently. They were reverent. And they were doing 13 folds … and you know, our country is in a little bit of turmoil … it just struck me. When they walked away they held it … cradled it to protect it. And it was just a moment that was meant to be, I think.”

The school added that “this is what RESPECT looks like at Coppergate.”

Many people praised the boys and felt the need to thank them for what they did. They also believe that Issac and Nate’s action will serve as a lesson for their peers to treat the flag and the country the same way, as real patriots.

Teen sees 11-year-old bawling at the back of the bus – finds out the truth and hands over his cash

That very first day of school is pretty scary for most kids, maybe also a little exciting for some too, but not knowing what will happen and what’s in store for you on that first day can be enough to freak any kid out, even the confident kids!

Getting to school has its challenges too, are they going by public transport that is, it’s a huge issue for one little 11-year-old boy who had his first day at a high school that was a real disaster for him.

Another boy, called Tom O’Brien, 15-years-old, was on going home after the first day back at Holy Family Catholic School, in Liverpool, in England.

He asked was asking other younger boys on the same bus how their first day at school went for them at their new school.

One boy, called Alex Furlong, had spent a nervous but exciting first day at the Holy Family School.

Tom was a thoughtful boy and he had not forgotten how that first-day experience felt, and in turn wanted to see that the younger boys were all ok about their first day, what a nice boy!

Tom was with two of his friends too, and they saw a boy, 11-year-old, that was crying at the back of the bus, Tom went to ask what was wrong?

He said that he’d got on the wrong bus and that he was heading away from home without a clue how to possibly get hole now.

Tom together with his friends knew that they had to help the boy, they got off the bus at the next stop with him and called him a cab, they even offered to pay for his journey home!

The local newspaper said that the cab driver didn’t charge the boy, he dropped the cash back off at school for Tom, yet another great guy!

“Faith in humanity restored a little today”

Alex was so happy and enthused about his day, the older boy Tom really was his hero, he just met him but already the older boy left a great impression on him.

His mom was really so impressed with Tom and his friends that she went straight to Facebook to write about it!

Tom’s sister saw the post and knew it was her brother Tom, she said:

“Ahhh everyone it was my little brother. I’ve just been tagged in this by a friend of mine who’s seen this status. We are so proud of Tom and it’s so lovely to know he’s a good lad in the outside world”

“What a wonderful young man Tom is and such a great example to these new students at his school.”

Please do pass this on and share it with your friends and family too, what a wonderful example to show and inspire others with!

Creep stalks mom with 2-year-old daughter in store: He suddenly whispers “Say goodbye to mom”

By

Kelly White

We all remember some part of our childhood, and most of us and our siblings were not so easy to keep an eye on for sure, we wanted to run and explore, all over the place….

The babysitter really struggled too, but this is a quite common occurrence for sure, but at the grocery store that is another thing again, running up and down the aisles…

There have been occasions children are lost while doing the grocery shopping, and children a little older that can’t be found, could well be assumed to have gone home, where else could you look for them?

Times like these strangers often feel our pain and offer to help us, the elderly and wise among us are very often to the most sympathetic and eager to help us.

It’s a hard situation to be in, but when we look at the situation for mom Amanda Cropsey Florcyzkowski, of Texas, USA it’s even harder and quite scary!

This mom Amanda, in February 2016, was in a supermarket doing her grocery shopping with her little two-year-old daughter, then quite suddenly, heard the words “Say bye to mommy”…

This chilling experience rocked her to the core, the fear ran through her bone like shooting pain, its tankful she heard and realized what those words meant!

She reckons that the man and the woman stood at the checkout the ones who looked quite normal, had sinister plans to kidnap her daughter, and take her away!

We feel so relieved that the mom was a super mom, to realize that her family was about to be victims in a sinister crime.

It was only September 24, of 2018 that Texas was hit by another similar incident, where a mother was out shopping with her four-year-old daughter too.

Mom tried like all parent do to keep her eye on her daughter all the time, but just two seconds is all it takes for her to be taken that fast…

The police reported that a man and a woman tried to take the girl out of her mom’s shopping cart, thankfully a store employee saw what was going on and stepped in!

The couple slunk away and were not to be seen again…

Thankfully the little one escaped with no injuries, but of course, the police are actively investigating the incident!

Sometimes it’s almost impossible not to take your eyes off the children for a second or two and really sadly there are some who watch us for these opportune moments to pounce and make their move.

The key here is to educate children as to the real dangers around them, and what to do in those cases, about strangers and how to react…

SCREAM, SCRATCH, KICK, PUNCH, SHOUT – HELP ME!

They really do have to fight for their lives because they well could actually be fighting for their lives if they were to be taken, who knows what awaits them?

It was truly fortunate that one mom was saved by a really observant shop assistant, thank god there are some good people in the world!

Please do share this story on Facebook with friends and family make them all aware of the risks that come with child abduction and trafficking. We really do need to teach our children and achieve a brighter future together!

Teacher fired after declining students credit for not doing homework – her goodbye note’s going viral

By

Kelly White

-

The constant argument, even some would call debate about the controversy of teachers giving out homework has been ongoing for quite a long time now.

There are some that think it’s not fair at all, giving more work to children to complete at home when they should be relaxing.

Whilst some others think it’s completely essential to give this work to children, and that for the education of the child this extra work really solidifies their knowledge and it’s essential to have it!

This might well be an argument that is not really gaining traction in a big way, but it has for sure started to gain new heights.

Another teacher has been fired because they did not give credits to students that did not finish a homework assignment they had been given.

According to the news channels Diana Tirado was fired and her contract terminated for not giving the kids 50% when they didn’t finish a task she said they had to do.

Dianna said:

“Teaching is a calling for me.”

When she began her teaching career and started teaching at West Gate in Port Saint Lucie last month, that what she believed.

She set the kids that were in her class project with an explorer notebook, many of the students did not submit the work.

It was a really hard lesson to learn, she describes it as the school’s ‘no zero policy’ reflected in the student and parent handbook.

Dianna said:

“But what if they don’t turn it in, and they say we’ll give them a 50. Oh no we don’t”

She was fired for this on 14 September, but still, there is no clause in the letter to say why because she is still in her probationary period of employment.

The very last day of school for her she wrote a message to all the students on her class whiteboard, this is what it said:

“Mrs. Tirado loves you and wishes you the best in life! I have been fired for refusing to give you a 50% for not handing anything in.”

She also put the image on Facebook, where, unsurprisingly, it’s been getting more and more traction as people start to react and with how many people consider it unfair dismissal!

Dianna said:

“I’m so upset because we have a nation of kids that are expecting to get paid and live their life just for showing up and it’s not real”

It is definitely a case to be talked about and discussed, don’t you agree?

Was the school right to fire her, was that the right message to send to students and the world?

We would love to know your opinion about it in the comments below…

Parents’ Beloved Rainbow Baby Born With Rare Condition

By

Monica Pop

-

Andrea West is one very brave mother. She shares her life story of how she lost her baby and the grief and the pain that followed. Many parents who went through the same ordeal felt for her and her husband and were encouraged to speak out loud themselves.

The couple met during their college years and knew they would be spending their life together. They moved in at Andrea’s place in New Jersey, and by October 2006 they were married.

Their life resembled a fairy tale, and learning she was expecting a baby only added to their happiness.

Sadly, just 11 weeks into pregnancy, Andrea suffered miscarriage and her world turned upside-down.

“I was an absolute wreck. I didn’t know what to do, who to talk to, what was appropriate to discuss, or who could help me. Little did I know that 1 in 4 women suffer the same and people just don’t talk about it. I didn’t know if I could ever deal with being pregnant again.”

Andrea blamed herself for losing her baby for a long time, but her supportive husband was there by her side to assure her everything was going to be alright. Shortly after, Andrea was pregnant again and this time she made sure she did everything right, including controlling her weight by leading healthier life.

“I didn’t drink any diet soda (my life blood), didn’t eat lunch meat, soft cheese, sushi … nothing on the ‘naughty list.’ I followed the blogs and community pages. I read the books and set up my nursery the ‘right’ way. When I found out I was having a boy, my heart grew 3 sizes. I have always had many guy friends and I couldn’t wait to be a ‘boy mom!’”

The couple welcomed their rainbow baby into the world on 21st September. Andrea gave birth naturally, although she had hardly any amniotic fluid.

They named their bundle of joy Adam, after her husband’s friend who died at the age of 21 from a brain tumor.

These new parents were over the moon, but when the doctor didn’t call Andrea’s husband to cut the umbilical cord, but rushed to do it himself, they felt something was wrong. That’s when the doctor told them some devastating news.

“‘Honey, there is something wrong with Adam’s leg.’ I was exhausted, a bit delirious, and just wanted to hold my baby, but I will never forget my response. ‘I’m sure it’s just a bruise.’ I gave birth in a teaching hospital and before I knew it at least 20 different people were in the room. Doctors, nurses, and students got to see my newborn baby before I got to really see him. They brought him over to me for a few minutes before whisking him off to the NICU. Then… everyone left.”

At first, no one knew why the baby’s abdomen and part of his leg were all covered in red markings and bruises, but he was eventually diagnosed with a rare vascular malformation known as Cutis Marmorata Telangiectatica Congenita (CMTC). At the time, only 500 cases of this condition have been reported.

In my mind, he was the most beautiful thing I had ever laid my eyes on. My rainbow baby. But, would he be OK? I was euphoric and crushed at the same time.”

Doctors ran all sorts of tests, as well as brain and heart ultrasounds, and Adam passed all of them and was discharged from the hospital.

During the first weeks of his life, Adam had seen many dermatologists, geneticists, and orthopedists. All of the tests these doctors did would come back normal.

Ever since Adam was born, his parents are researching and learning of his condition. They have attended many conferences, including one at Washington D.C. where they met with other families whose children have this condition.

Most of the people and the doctors there have never heard of CMTC, and Andrea and her husband make sure as many people as possible learn of it.

The only thing these parents were worried about was whether Adam would fit in with the other kids. So far, he’s doing amazingly and does everything his peers do. He’s involved in sports and loves being around his friends.

Simon Cowell donates $25,000 to help shut down dog meat farms in South Korea

By

Simon Cowell might be a strict judge when it comes to singing and performing, but his love for dogs and animals makes him one of our most favorite celebrities. This multi-millionaire television judge and producer is also known as an animal rights advocate.

Now dog lovers love him even more knowing that he has given a significant amount of money to the Humane Society International (HSI) which is a protection organization whose aim is to help all animals—including animals in laboratories, animals on farms, companion animals and wildlife.

The generous donation of £25,000 is to help shut down one of the many dog meat farms in South Korea. These funds will help rescue around 200 dogs and puppies who are at the farm where they are bred over and over again for the sake of the dog meat industry. This is not the first time for the HSI to fight against these farms, and it’s been reported that so far, the organization saved around 1,400 animals.

Claire Bass, the UK executive director of the Humane Society International, said:

“Simon’s generous donation means the world to us and provides a huge boost to our appeal to close this horrendous dog meat farm. More than 200 dogs are languishing in the most appalling conditions, but we have a real chance to save them.”

With every dog farm we close and every farmer we help to switch to a more profitable, humane business, we’re showing the South Korean government that it’s possible to end this cruel trade. These poor dogs have had the worst lives so far, so we’re desperate to get them out of those dreadful cages and show them love, soft beds and loving arms for the first time in their lives.”

This is why Simon’s donation is of great importance.

Simon Cowell and his two dogs Squiddly and Diddly attending a photocall for ‘Britain’s Got Talent’ at St Luke’s Church, London. 09/04/2014

The dog meat trade is one of the most serious animal welfare issues in South Korea, and Simon discussed this issue before in the media.

“It’s like eating your friend. Ironically, some of those people who are eating dogs, if those dogs were their pet, that dog would be protecting that person’s life, that’s the irony. The joy, the love they bring into your life, what they do for you, you can’t put it into words.

In South Korea, there are an estimated 17,000 dog meat farms.

It is a strength, in my opinion, to say we’re not going to do it. If they all could come together now, maybe through social media, maybe through a different generation who just say no, enough people will listen. That’s what happens in the world today.”

Although this violent trade doesn’t end, in recent years, this trend became controversial not only in South Korea, but all over the world mainly as a result of the actions by the animal rights activists. According to the newest information, consumption of dog meat is becoming less common among the young South Koreans so the practice is significantly declining. However, the number is still high.

A South Korean court ruled for the first time this years that it’s illegal to kill dogs for their meat. We hope that this practice of dog meat consumption will decline even further up to the point no dog will be killed for its meat.

Thanks to people like Simon Cowell who support the fight against the dog farms, less dogs will be caged and killed each year.

Horse surprises woman who fails to mount on his back with unexpected gesture

Humans and horses go way back. These elegant and graceful creatures have been our companions for as long as we can remember and the benefits we get from them are numerous.

Not only are they of great assistance when it comes to farming, but they also make great friends.

Horses are naturally calm animals and they often spread that feeling of harmony to humans. That’s way spending time around them can feel so relaxing.

The video below is just another proof of how awesome these animals can be. A girl is desperately trying to mount on a horse’s back but fails each time. That’s when she gets an unexpected help. You wonder who stepped in? Well, the horse itself.

As she was doing her best to place her leg over the animal’s body, the horse realized he should step in and lend her a helping hand. In the next moment, he decided to lean down so that she could mount with ease.

The woman filming the incredible scene was so surprised with the horse’s action that she couldn’t help by burst out laughing.

Take a look at the video below and you’ll know why horses are such incredible animals and friends.

3-year-old dies after being raped and 10-month-old sister hospitalized – mom accuses stepdad

By

Stephanie Church

Sometimes, the cruelties that happen are impossible to understand. This story fits right into that category, and it’s possibly one of the worst stories I have ever heard.

In Santa Fe, Argentina, a 3-year-old boy died after a violent rape.

At the Santa Fe child hospital, his just 10-month-old sister fights for her own life.

Both were originally admitted into Niños Orlando Alassia Hospital. The hospital manager said the boy came in critical condition. With several fractures to his skull, chest, and ribs, hospital staff revived him. Sadly, he passed away that night in his sleep.

The staff noticed his injuries indicated he had been sexually abused. Him and his sister alike both show clear signs of physical abuse along with neglect.

The staff questioned their mother. When questioned, the mom accused the children’s stepfather of the attack. Since then, authorities have arrested him.

Currently, the girl is being monitored in the hospital throughout the rest of her recovery.

Please remember to always wash your hands before touching a newborn baby. This father wants to spread the word of the consequences of not doing so.

Their life resembled a fairy tale, and learning she was expecting a baby only added to their happiness.

They named their bundle of joy Adam, after her husband’s friend who died at the age of 21 from a brain tumor.

During the first weeks of his life, Adam had seen many dermatologists, geneticists, and orthopedists. All of the tests these doctors did would come back normal.
