We all miss our loved ones especially on their Birthdays. I’m sure everyone can relate to this song. The lyrics came naturally since I lost both my parents who will always be on my mind and in my heart. My original production. Thank you. Teresa Figgiani Poidomani

Prepare to be moved by a story of friendship. Watch the story of Julissa as she befriended her 86-Year-Old neighbor. Now, they're family.

Julissa Gomez is 29 years old, and she decided to be open to an unlikely friendship. She befriended her 86-year-old neighbor named Delmar. Julissa and her family learned that Delmar was living by himself and invited him to church with them. After that simple invitation, Delmar spent a lot of time with her and her family. They are seen in clips dancing in a living room, eating donuts and ice cream, and playing putt-putt golf. 

What started as a neighbor became more like a family member. Julissa and Delmar celebrate life events and holidays together. On top of it all, they have written a children’s book called “The Friendships Next Door with Delmar” to inspire others. The two of them share videos constantly to encourage others to be friends. There is a current video of Delmar surprising Julissa’s husband at his graduation. 

Julissa also shares about the hurt of losing her dad and how Delmar has been a blessing in the loss. This entire relationship began with a church invitation. Their social media handle is @Julissa.And.Delmar for more information or to watch their adventures. 

How We Can Learn From This Unlikely Friendship

May this relationship and the opportunity that Julissa took to reach out and Delmar took to respond motivate us. She befriended her 86-year-old neighbor. As we think about where we are living and who is around us in our daily rhythms, may this remind us of the power of sharing the love of friendship of Jesus with others. Jesus tells us that when we accept Him, we are not just His creations, but His friends. May we shower others with the friendship and love that we have ourselves received from Christ.

 “I no longer call you servants, because a servant does not know his master’s business. Instead, I have called you friends, for everything that I learned from my Father I have made known to you.”  John 15:15

A 105-year-old Navy veteran celebrated his birthday by packing his special day with adventure and thrills. Spurgeon “Butch” Carlson decided to go skydiving for the first time to celebrate turning 105, and his family and friends cheered him on. What a way to bring in a new year!

The birthday boy checked off this adventurous bucket list item with a tandem jump in Albion, New York. “I’m not nervous. I’m not shaking or anything,” Butch shared when asked about his skydiving excursion. “I’m looking forward to that jump!”

Now this 105-year-old Navy veteran is not new to adventure. Last year for his 104th birthday, Butch did his first ever horseback ride with his little brother who was 99 years old at the time. Nothing seems to be slowing down this fun-loving guy anytime soon!

When speaking with Butch’s daughter, Mickey McAvoy, she shared that her dad’s skydiving adventure shocked her. “I didn’t think he would dare, but he says he’s going to do it – ‘I can do it, I can do it,’” Mickey said.

How Butch Is Inspiring Others

Many people online who saw the video of Butch skydiving were inspired to see him living life to the fullest. “Honestly, what’s the worst that could happen lol,” someone wrote. “Glad he’s living at the edge to celebrate his long life!”

After celebrating that many birthdays, people have seen a lot and done a lot throughout their lives. Many important lessons have been learne,d and growth has happened thanks to life experiences. It is beautiful to see Butch Carlson, this 105-year-old Navy veteran, still have a joy for life and a passion to chase after new and exciting experiences.

Whether it’s an adventurous bucket list item or passing down wisdom to those around them, it is great to see the older generation celebrating the many years that they have been blessed to experience.

A father and son in Rhode Island surprise a woman with a new farm stand after thieves steal hers on opening day. It’s so tragic, but this son and dad saw it as an opportunity to bring hope back to a woman who wanted to pursue her dream of baking. The woman and her family were so blessed by this kindness from two strangers. 

Katrinia Blancaflor is a retired pastry chef. But after leaving the restaurant scene to become a mother of two, she found she wasn’t ready to put down the rolling pin. So after months of asking her husband to make her a small stand to put at the end of her driveway to sell baked goods, he finally did. It took him months to finish. 

They rolled it out to the end of their driveway and went to bed, ready to fill it with breads and sweets in the morning. But when Katrina’s husband looked out at their yard, he didn’t see the stand anywhere. 

"He came in. I was still laying in bed. He's like, 'The stand is gone.' I jumped out of bed. I was like, 'What? Are you sure?" Katrina said. "I mostly felt bad that he worked so hard on it and we didn't even get to use it."

Father and Son Save the Day

Katrina asked neighbors on social media if they saw anything. One neighbor showed security footage of an SUV driving away with it at 2 am. 

Katrina and her family were so sad. But then a father and son noticed and made a huge effort to surprise her with a new one. John and Casey Adams own a construction business, and when they saw what happened, they wanted to help her. They got her husband’s original blueprints and surprised her. She and her family were overwhelmed with happiness. And she can’t wait to start baking again.

A quick-thinking UPS driver saves the day after a man accidentally sees his birthday present. When UPS driver Rick Wilson showed up to deliver a package, the homeowner, Hannah Pierce, caught him just in time. Thanks to technology and a great delivery guy, the special gift was kept a secret. 

When Rick stopped by the door to leave the express package for Hannah, she quickly caught his attention on the doorbell camera. 

“Hide it if you can because it’s a present for Jason,” Hannah told Rick, not wanting her fiancé, Jason, to open the door. 

When Jason actually did open the door, Rick told him, “I don’t have a delivery. I got the wrong house.”

He then searched around for the perfect spot so Jason wouldn’t find the package before Hannah got home from work. He settled on a spot under the side gate. 

“I owe you one, Rick. "God, I love you,” Hannah told him, relieved. 

How One Person Can Make a Big Difference

Everyone in Auburn, New York, is lucky to have a delivery guy like Rick, a simple UPS driver who saves the day for his customers. 

“It was mind-blowing. I didn't expect him to go above and beyond. And as soon as he did, I was, my heart sank because a lot of people wouldn't do this,” Hannah said. “Half the time I get packages, and they're kind of just thrown on the porch or not in the best places. But Rick takes his job very seriously, and he's one of the best, if not the best.”

Rick is well known in their community and has been a UPS driver for at least 25 years, Hannah says. He’s also a great singer and has his own rock cover band called Infinity CNY. He just gets cooler and cooler.

He’s already well-known for his voice, but now he’s getting more well-deserved credit as a UPS driver who saved the day.

About 11 years ago, a 4-year-old girl battling leukemia 'married' her favorite nurse in a heartwarming hospital wedding. Now, she’s cancer-free and thriving, and she and her 'husband'—her favorite nurse from the Albany Medical Center in New York—still keep in touch. It’s the sweetest thing you’ll ever see.

Abby Sayles, who was a 4-year-old girl battling leukemia at the time, told her mom that she wanted to marry her favorite nurse, Matt Hickling. So, in less than 2024 hours, the hospital staff made it happen. Abby wore a white dress and had nurses for bridesmaids—and there was even cake and rings. Well, ring pops, anyway. 

At that point, the two knew each other well. He had been Abby’s nurse for over a year. 

"Abby herself is really bright and charismatic. She has a smile that can light up a room or the whole center, really," Matt said at the time. "She has a face you really can't forget."

Abby’s Story Didn’t End There

Abby said it was “the best day ever” as her dream had suddenly come true. The following year, Abby had her last day with Matt at the hospital. She picked out some things for Matt as a goodbye gift and hugged him in the room where they got married. The family again thanked him for the years of support and friendship he’s given to Abby. 

On August 2nd of this year, Abby’s mom said she is now cancer-free and thriving. She and Matt still talk every now and then. 

It is just so sweet that a 4-year-old girl battling leukemia got to 'marry' her nurse. A lot of little girls have had similar wishes, which, of course, naturally go unfulfilled. So it is wonderful that Abby got to have the day she dreamed about.

You have got to watch this 16-year-old lifeguard refuse to give up on a 10-year-old who was swept out in the surf. When wave after wave comes after them, 16-year-old Ryder Williams never lets go. It’s so inspiring and encouraging to watch.

The 10-year-old swimmer, Nathaniel, was swept away by waves not far from Seabright Beach’s shore in Santa Cruz, California. Several beach-goers tried to rescue him before Ryder ran into the surf. He held him for many minutes as Ryder and others tried to pull him to shore while wave after wave enveloped them. 

"I radioed it in, threw my radio and sunglasses at the base of my tower as I ran toward the kid," Ryder said. "I put my fins on my wrist, popped my buoy, and entered the water to get ahold of the child."

Once they made it back to the shore with help, paramedics checked out the 10-year-old, who lost consciousness during the event, and found him to be okay.

The Families' Response to the Lifeguards' Heroism

Ryder’s mother said, “He was just doing the job that he absolutely loves.” 

Ryder also said that he loves his job and expressed gratitude for other lifeguards who put their lives on the line to save those in the water. 

Nathaniel’s father, Sumit Rai, said he is extremely grateful for the 16-year-old lifeguard. Without him, he doesn’t know if Nathanial could have survived the relentless waves.  

"Another two or three seconds, I don't think my son would have made it,” Sumit said. 

It is amazing to see how Ryder held onto Nathaniel the entire time, without letting go. There were times when the water put both of them under, but Ryder always held onto the 10-year-old. This is the kind of courage and strength that’s required of anyone in a critical-services role, and I’m sure the Santa Cruz beach is proud to have Ryder on its team.
