She Places Hand on Flag-Draped Casket. Passengers Left Sobbing as They Watch Fallen Soldier
“There was not a dry eye around me,” Facebook user Lisa West Williams said in a tear-jerking video uploaded to her page. While waiting for her plane to let passengers off at the airport in Raleigh, North Carolina, she captured the moments a fallen soldier was brought home to his wife and family. Like many others, this video hit home for me because growing up as a 20-year navy brat and being the sister of a former Army soldier who served in Iraq, I just couldn’t help but get emotional.
The Healing Powers Of Trauma Informed Yoga Practice
TW: This article discusses elements of trauma and rape. My path to healing after being raped was everything but a straight line. I went on with business as usual. I didn't tell anyone. I didn't think about it. I didn't have flashbacks or nightmares of it. I didn't look for the face of the man that raped me in supermarkets and parking garages. He was someone I knew so I wasn't worried about that. I didn't think about it when I finally started to have consensual sex. But the shame was there.

Video: 3-Year-Old with No Hands or Legs Takes First Steps
A baby usually takes their first steps between 9 and 12 months of age. Watching a young child stand and walk on their own has to be one of the most significant moments for a mom and dad.

And, as BabyCenter puts it, “Your child’s first steps are [his or her] first major move toward independence.” By time they reach 14 or 15 months old, they’re no longer crawling around, but fully up and walking around.

Dog Left Tied to a Tree, Handwritten Note Attached to Collar
Many stray dogs found roaming the streets are missing pets. Usually, they have run away from home or somehow become separated from their handlers. Other times, these homeless dogs are left abandoned and rejected. Prince George County Animal Shelter in Virginia has witnessed a few of these cases, including one involving a 2-year-old dog named Zeus. The husky and black lab mix was found stranded near a wooded area on Feb. 10. He was left tied to a tree with only one bag of food.

Pete was a senior dog who enjoyed touring the woodlands of Greenwood Lake, New York. At 13.5 years old, he was one of the oldest pups among the rest of his fellow canines.

Not everyone has a keen eye for finding paintings that may be worth a lot of money, but surprisingly, one New Jersey boy definitely has the gift.

Road rage is a common feeling among most drivers. Every now and then, we all get a bit angry and annoyed while driving.

Pastor Hears Wife Scream, Grabs Rope and Braves Icy Pond to Save Drowning Dog
