Can you share a highly disturbing true life story with a redeeming moral lesson?"Two words came to mind yesterday…”My baby”.I pulled onto the interstate yesterday. I’d cast a quick glance in my rearview mirror and knew two people riding their motorcycles were behind me. I picked up speed to blend in with oncoming traffic. At that precise second, the two kids on their motorcycles shot passed me. Even though they wore helmets that completely hid their face, they had the body that only the very young possess.We’ve all seen it. They raced down the interstate taking enormous risks as they cut in and out of traffic at an unimaginable speed. As I watched them, one thought consumed me. If anything happens to these boys, their parents will never get over it.That’s when I remembered those two words, “My baby”. My sister, Karen, was dying. It so happened that it was my turn to help care for her so I was there when the nurse arrived. The nurse observed that her legs were mottled a blue color. It would be that day she said. You know it’s coming but you don’t want to hear it.I called my younger sister. She arrived fairly quickly, because the distance she traveled wasn’t far. I called my parents but it would take them over an hour to reach Karen’s house. In that hour, Karen passed away. She was 61. When we heard our parents’ car, we ran outside to explain that Karen was already gone.You can see mother and her baby, Karen hereMy mother’s steps slowed. Everything about her reflected her pain. She walked through the door and there was her child. And those were the first and only words she spoke, “My Baby.”As I watched those boys race erratically down the road, I hoped they would survive to spare their mothers from uttering those words."credits: Kathy Pennell

Born and raised in Britain until the age of seven, to an art dealer father, and ex actress mother. With legal dual British / American nationality, but famous the world over. Elizabeth Taylor.It was said by Barry Norman, that during her first mariage to Richard Burton, it would have been impossible to show her photo to any one thousand random people from all walks of life, without every one of them knowing who she was.To a degree, I can believe that. There would, of course, have been exceptions, but I can believe that she was about as famous as it's possible to get. Years ago before her health failed her, I knew a man who was her driver whenever she was in the UK, and he described her as being down to earth and level headed. Every year on the anniversary of Richard Burtons death, he drove her up to visit his family in Wales, and she happily spent her evenings in their local pub. And unlike some famous people, wasn't afraid to buy her fair share of drinks.

SHARING IS CARINGI told Tess that God always puts us in the right place at the right time. 2 days after Mom passed away, we ran into Mark at Wal-Mart and I hadn’t seen him in a while. I stopped and said hi to him and he was on a store scooter/shopping cart. When I asked how he was doing he said not too good, his mobility chair had broken down on him, the batteries were dead and it was pretty much headed for the landfill.I told him about Mom passing and that I had bought her a chair a few months back, it is like new with brand new batteries. I said she would be thrilled to have known her chair would go to someone who really needed it to get around. Tess and I dropped it by for Mark today and the smile on his face is priceless!! Hope this helps him out a lot and I know Mom is smiling too!Credit: Paul Phillips

DID YOU KNOW?"When we answer the phone, we typically say 'Hello.' But what is Hello?It may surprise many to learn that 'Hello' is not just a greeting, it's rather the name of a specific person. 'Hello' was in fact the name of Alexander Graham Bell's fiancée, Margaret Hello. Bell, the inventor of the telephone, used 'Hello' as the first word during the initial test of his invention. This simple utterance quickly became the standard opening for phone calls worldwide, enduring as the greeting we use to this day when picking up the phone."

OMG!!!A man died and left his dog...his son looked for the dog but didn't find it.The dog is missing...A few days later, the cemetery management informs the son that a dog digs a hole on his father’s grave! The son went to the cemetery and saw his father’s dog next to his grave and took it to his home.Two days later the dog ran away again and it took several weeks until the son had to leave the dog in his grave. He came everyday to bring him food and water. The dog refused to eat and didn't let anyone near the grave. The dog lived another week until he died on his owner's grave...What kind of person is capable of loving unconditionally like this dog?Unknown Author

LOVE ALWAYS FINDS USCancer is bad... it's really bad. Not too long ago, Jillian, who is only 25, was diagnosed with Stage 2 breast cancer. And, obviously, that was devastating for her. All those upcoming treatments were going to be extremely rough on her, and she wanted to let her boyfriend, Max, know that. And, in doing so, she also wanted to let him know that she would completely understand if he wanted to move on with his life without her. But for Max, there simply was no other option; he was going to stick with her through everything. And he was in for quite a bit. Jillian had surgery and 16 chemotherapy treatments. Max didn't budge; he was right there with her every step of the way. But Max was not only with her. He would constantly give her words of encouragement, and he would always let her know just how beautiful she was. And often he would take her out to the movies to get her mind off of things. And, after all of it, though it might be so daunting for many, Max and Jillian's relationship became so much stronger. And then, almost before they knew it, Jillian was having her very last chemo treatment, a very special day. Now would be that next stage for Jillian... the healing. But just after that final treatment, Jillian got a very unexpected surprise, which would make it an even more special day. Max got down on one knee and proposed to her. And she said yes. It was a wonderful moment. When a woman named Lauren, who owns a wedding planning company, heard about Max and Jillian, she donated her services to the couple. Lauren does this once a year to a deserving couple, and she felt Max and Jillian were definitely a deserving couple. It's certain to be a day to be remembered
