If you are a mother (or happen to know one) you know that everyday life as a mother is wonderful, challenging, scary and stressful – all together.

A mother’s life is full of disaster and usually in the form of sticky hands, spilled milk, stains, and piles of laundry And when you think you’ve finally got it all done, there’s always a new pile of dirty clothes or a new stain waiting…Click Here To Continue Reading>> …Click Here To Continue Reading>>

 

It’s normal to feel that patience runs out from time to time.

Heather Duckworth is a mother who knows all this very well – but she also has a critical reminder for mothers all over the world, and they all need to see it.

Unfortunately, it was an unimaginable tragedy that led her to this insight.

Heather Duckworth is a mother like any other mother, but one thing makes her stand out.

She lost her youngest son several years ago and since then has been working hard to spread the important message with all parents.

Heather shared her story on Facebook under the title ‘The Blue Stain’. When you read the story you will immediately understand why it tugged at the heartstrings of so many people.

It all started when Heather picked up dirt from the floor that her daughter had left behind. There everything suddenly became clear to her…

Her daughter did her best to clean up the stain left from the foul play, but Heather naturally had to help and finish the job.

She was, like any parent, a little nervous about the situation. But when she cleaned and was angry in her heart, she suddenly remembered another stain…

A stain from 14 years ago. At that time, Heather had 2-year-old triplets as well as a 4-year-old boy. Her daughter was not yet born.

On that particular evening, she struggled to put her four sons to bed. With four boys at home, life was a non-stop tornado of activities and chaos.

She spent most of the holiday cleaning and looking after her boys – sometimes feeling like she was taking part in World War III.

“My hands were full, but so was my heart”.

As night fell that day, she remembered struggling to feed all four boys, while cleaning up their usual messes.

The kids turned on the music at high volume and ran around the house singing and dancing, full of energy as always. It was the last time for a long time that such an atmosphere was in the house.. for several
reasons.

During her chaos and difficulty putting the children to bed, she looked at the carpet and saw a large blue ink stain.

One of the children from the trio, Jacob, was standing close to her, broke a pen in his hand – and the ink spread all over the carpet. The ink also spread on his pajamas, his body, and other things in the
room. READ FULL STORY HERE>>>CLICK HERE TO CONTINUE READING>>>

Needless to say, when Heather saw this, she lost it. Her patience had run out.

“I got very angry and immediately took my son to the shower to clean him and my husband started scrubbing the stains on the carpet. Tears of frustration began to flow. I was so tired, and angry, really really
angry. I wasn’t angry at my son – who was as blue as a smurf – but I was angry at myself for leaving the pen where my little son could reach it”, said the mother, adding:

“We lived in this house for half a year in total, and now the carpet was completely destroyed. We scrubbed it for an hour that night, but the stain didn’t come out”.

Heather and her husband even hired a professional carpet cleaner, but that didn’t help either.

Growing frustration

The stain continued to annoy her, and she got upset every time she saw it.

“It pissed me off and made me feel like a failure for leaving the pen where my little boy could reach it. This blue spot was a negative spot in my life. I hated it”, Heather said.

But as her frustration about the stain continued to grow, suddenly, it was gone, in one life-changing moment.

The little boy who broke the pen that day was diagnosed with cancer. And two years after the diagnosis, Jacob passed away.

Jacob ascended to heaven, but the blue spot remained.

“It was still there…and now…it was a constant reminder of my son. It was a constant reminder of my frustration that I felt over something so trivial.. something so unimportant in this life”.

Heather now wants mothers everywhere to understand that little children will make a mess. Raising children can be frustrating and as they get older, parents face new challenges.

For Heather, the blue stain is now a constant reminder that life with children can be messy and dirty, but it’s definitely worth living.

It’s a constant reminder that there’s no need to sweat the small stuff. A constant reminder that ‘things’ are not important, people are.

A constant reminder that accidents happen. A constant reminder to let go of the little things and focus on what’s really important.

Heather calls the mess a ‘blessing in disguise’, and admits she would live with a million blue spots if it meant she could spend just one more day with her son.

She wants to remind mothers and fathers all over the world that they should not get excited or stressed by everything that is happening around them and forget to enjoy the little things in life that sometimes
seem frustrating.

Heather continues to clean, wash, scrub her children – but now, when she does it, she always remembers the time she spent in the hospital with her son.

It is so important to remember to focus on the important things in life and not get frustrated when the kids make a mess, even leaving permanent ‘blue spots’ behind.

Dirty pajamas, a smurf face and big stains on the carpet are just proof that we did something right along the way. We had children.

Surgeons were left stunned and ‘screamed in disbelief by what they found in drunk man’s stomach’! –

We need to be careful in what we eat and not only physically, but also spiritually and psychologically. If we eat healthy food physically, we will have a proper growth and development, and our body will be supplied with good ingredients for its normal functioning.

But, we also need to be careful what we insert into our bodies. Sometimes people accidentally swallow something they shouldn’t. This was not the case with this drunk man.

Per reports, the surgeons were stunned when they needed to remove a steel cup from a man’s stomach, which they believe was initially inserted into his ‘behind…Click Here To Continue Reading>> …Click Here To Continue Reading>>

 

An unnamed man was reporting stomach pains for several days and no treatment seemed to work, despite seeing multiple doctors, according to The Post. He then saw Dr. Lal, who did an X-ray and discovered the cup inside him. READ FULL STORY HERE>>>CLICK HERE TO CONTINUE READING>>>

The man was then rushed to surgery where surgeons successfully removed a cup the size of a hand from what appears to be an incision in his stomach.

According to The Post, video shows the procedure which begins with one doctor cleaning the stomach area before carefully removing the silver cup with the bottom of the object facing up. Medical staff appears to be in disbelief as the surgeon holds up the tumbler for the camera.

The man, who works as a laborer, has recovered well, according to reports. The medical professionals have hypothesized that the cup reached his stomach after being inserted up the man’s ‘behind’. Doctors said the man got extremely drunk with three strangers after returning from a grocery store, where he had gone to get vegetables. By the time he sobered up, the unknown people were not present, and doctors aren’t sure if the man shoved the cup up his rectum himself or if he was assaulted.

“She had more faith than any child I’ve ever seen,” Sadie’s mother, Corrie Andrews, told AL.com. “And I’m not just saying that because she was my child.”

“We know without a shadow of a doubt, our baby is with Jesus,” Corrie added.

Corrie says that her daughter’s name means, “God’s Thoughtful Princess,” and that is exactly what Sadie was. She was the perfect princess, the best reflect of what her name embodies.

“And she really was that—always expressing gratefulness and love for God and other people. She would light up a room with her smile; she walked with a skip in her step. I’ve never met a more joyful child who loved God with all her heart.”

Sadie’s father, Tracy Andrews, said that he’s happy, appreciative and grateful for the three years that he along with their family got with spend with their precious Sadie, and reflected on the many lessons his daughter was able to teach him about life and love.

“She taught me about being happy and loving life and loving people,” Tracy said. “At 3 years old, there’s no preconceived notions. To her, everybody was good. She didn’t see the bad. She just loved people and it didn’t matter what they did.”

Lance and Kara Latham are the owners of Bruster’s Real Ice Cream, the shop where Sadie tragically drowned on Saturday. They released a Facebook statement on Sunday, extending their deepest condolences for the family’s loss. READ FULL STORY HERE>>>CLICK HERE TO CONTINUE READING>>>

“As the owner of the Auburn Bruster’s, our deepest condolences go to the family of the child who tragically died Saturday. They are acquaintances of ours and have been regular customers. We are truly heartbroken that this happened. Our thoughts also are with our young crewmember who tried to revive the child. Like all of us, he is quite shaken. The entire Bruster’s family is horribly saddened by this tragic accident.”

They encouraged others in the community to continue praying for the Andrews family.

Sadie’s uncle, Chad Vermillion, also organized a YouCaring campaign on the family’s behalf.

“The body of Christ is powerful when we act together and if we can help alleviate their burden let’s do so,” Vermillion wrote in the fundraiser’s description. “Above all else, please pray for my dear sister Corrie and brother-in-law Tracy. The pain is insurmountable right now.”

Corrie says God used Sadie the morning that she died, to prepare the mother of six for the grief that lay ahead.

Sadie was attached to a blanket from her grandmother, that she slept with every single night. On Saturday morning though, Sadie put the blanket in a bag and told her mom that she no longer needed it, and wanted to give it away.

“Looking back, it’s as if she knew she wouldn’t need it anymore.”

One thing is certain, Sadie Grace brought more joy to this world in her three short years than many of us can fathom in our entire lifetime. She exuded the love of Jesus, and her family takes comfort in knowing that she is Home with Him now.

Praying for peace that surpasses all understanding, and healing for every single person whose life was touched by this beautiful little angel.

She wanted to leave her husband, but she felt trapped because she didn’t have the money to file for a divorce. Instead of finding another way out, she made a terrible decision that changed everything.

On August 31, 2022, Melanie called 911 in the early hours of the morning. She told the police that an intruder had broken into their home and shot her husband while they were both asleep in bed.

However, as the investigation continued, she admitted that she had bought a handgun from a pawn shop. The police also found a pillow and blanket with bullet holes on the floor, and they discovered a .38 Special handgun hidden under a bunk bed in another room. These clues made it clear that Melanie’s story about an intruder wasn’t true. READ FULL STORY HERE>>>CLICK HERE TO CONTINUE READING>>>

Eventually, Melanie broke down and confessed. She admitted that she had shot her husband. She explained that she had been unhappy in their marriage and wanted to end it but felt she couldn’t afford a divorce. In a moment of desperation, she made the tragic choice to kill him instead.

However, she made a deal with prosecutors and pleaded guilty to the lesser charge of voluntary manslaughter. Because of this plea deal, she was sentenced to 10 years in prison instead of facing a much harsher punishment.
