Husband Came Home To His Wife Wearing Her Wedding Dress. His Reaction Is Priceless!
Here is a story that will warm your heart during these cold winter days. After seven memorable years of marriage Chrissy and her husband Brian were coming up on their wedding anniversary. However, they both had to work on the actual date and would not be seeing each other. Not wanting to miss out on it, Chrissy thought up a last minute surprise for her husband that he is sure to never forget.
While Brian ran to the store with their daughter she dug out her wedding dress and grabbed a bouquet of flowers. She had the song “Shine Your Light” by Robbie Robertson ready to play and explained “I picked this song because he is a firefighter and it is one of “our” songs since we heard it years ago in the movie Ladder 49.”
As Brian walks up to the door she cues her child to play the song and stands smiling, clearly excited and happy to surprise him. She has the camera rolling to catch the moment and when Brian walks in he seems lost for words and can only gaze at her, seemingly awestruck at the sight of his blushing bride. They exchange knowing smiles before he crosses the room to embrace her in a sweet hug while the kids look on delighted.
This story perfectly illustrates that you do not need expensive jewelry, flowers, chocolates or other material things to show your love. The most heartfelt moments are often inspired by family, friends, and the simple desire to create a lasting memory. Crissy included her children, the element of surprise and the vision of her from the day they got married. With all this set to a meaningful soundtrack it created a flawless anniversary surprise.

Six Clear Signs a Lost Loved One Is Close By and Attempting To Send You a Message

When it comes to spirits and the afterlife there are countless theories and beliefs about what, if anything, happens next. Yet despite all the differences, people generally fall into one of two groups; those who believe in a spiritual afterlife and those who do not. The idea that after death our soul passes on to another dimension, or life, or realm is entirely possible. No one truly knows for certain what actually happens when we cease to exist or where our spirit goes when it leaves our body. In fact, what comes next remains one of the biggest mysteries in all of life.
Despite all the uncertainty, many people from all over the world and all walks of life believe that they have been contacted by the spirit of a loved one after they had passed. You may be one of them. Most people report feeling a special type of presence near to them, one that is unlike any other they’ve ever experienced before.
The feeling they get from it is not a threatening or haunting one, rather it’s more mystical, positive, and reassuring. In the end, they attribute whatever they’re feeling to the spirit of a loved one who is close by.
Have you ever felt this?
These otherworldly interactions seem to randomly occur in our lives when loved ones send us messages, signs, and other subtle signals. They communicate with us indirectly and if you’re familiar with what to look for, and are open to the whole idea of spiritual connectivity, then you can pick up on these signs and know what each one means.
If at some point you’ve ever wondered if the spirit of a loved one was trying to get through to you, then the following information will help you figure that out. These are just several of the main ways to interpret the signs that a deceased loved one is close by and sending a message :
1) You Can Sense Their Presence:
This usually manifests as a sudden drop in temperature or a slight chill that is immediately noticeable. The air may become heavy or still and it means the spirit of a loved one is nearby. This is perhaps one of the most common experiences we’re able to have with spirits and while it may be off-putting for some, it need not be. The next time you feel it happen, embrace it.
2) Lights Flicker and Electronic Devices Act Up:
It’s commonly believed that the spirit world tries to make contact with us through electricity. While no one knows for sure, it’s thought that electricity charges them up and forces us to pay attention when electronics go haywire.
Lights will suddenly turn on and off, bulbs will burn out, computers and laptops will act strange, speaker volume may go up or down, radio and TV channels inexplicably change, your car won’t start. When these types of things occur out of the blue with seemingly no explanation, this means a loved one’s spirit is attempting to gain your attention and let you know they are present.
Have you ever felt these signs?
3) You Dream About Them:
When a loved one who has passed appears in your dreams it’s often believed that they are trying to tell you something important. These types of dreams contain messages or answers to questions you’ve been searching for. Don’t ignore or write them off as just a dream, it’s guidance, advice, and comfort coming from your loved one.
4) Familiar Scents:
When you suddenly smell a pleasant scent that is somehow familiar, it’s a sign that your loved one is nearby or present. Spirits use smells that are special to us because we immediately notice and pay attention to them.
5) The Sudden Appearance of Random Things:
Objects such as feathers or coins that you find in random spots may not be so random after all. The spirits of our loved ones will often stick pennies, nickels, quarters, and other loose change in unusual places knowing that we’ll stumble across them.
They do this as a way to help make us feel happy and to signal that they’re close by. So the next time you find a penny or a dime somewhere random, like on your front porch, thank your loved one for the thoughtful gift!
6) You Just Feel and Know They Are With You:
Sometimes there doesn’t need to be an overt sign that forces you to stop and think about a deceased loved one. Instead, you simply can sense and feel that some loving, otherworldly spirit is present and guiding you. This 6th sense or inkling is calming and peaceful.
It’s the type of feeling you get inside which you automatically attribute to the spirit of a loved one. For some people it even feels like they’re inside their head talking and sending them messages. When this occurs, and should it ever happen to you, it’s never scary or unsettling, rather it is reassuring and welcome.
There are other signs people have felt as well:
The Following Is My Personal Experience With The Loss of a Loved One:
I never was a person who believed that after someone dies, that it would be possible to feel their presence in any way. I thought that people who talked about these experiences had memories so strong and missed their loved one so much, that they imagined their presence in a way that felt so real. That is…until I lost my grandmother.
On many mornings after she died, (for years) I would reach for my coffee mug and would feel as if someone gave my arm a reassuring squeeze. The first times I would look around, thinking my husband was there, and was stunned to see he wasn’t.
Later on, I would smell her famous apple pie, at the same moments. Perhaps this was all in my head, but it happened on so many different occasions in the same way, that I actually began to believe she was looking over me in some protective way.
Grieving is a very long process, that is most acute in the first few years that you lose someone whom you love, but it truly does go on in different forms for the rest of one’s life. Whether you are someone who has some belief in the paranormal, or just don’t know. Let us know if you’ve felt any of these.
Have you ever felt this?
They include: LUCID DREAMS OR VISIONS; FEELING THEIR TOUCH OR PRESENCE; UNEXPLAINABLE AND REPEATED ELECTRICAL PHENOMENON; OBJECTS DISAPPEARING AND REAPPEARING SOMEWHERE ELSE IN YOUR HOME; SMELLING THEM.
A few years later my dad died at the young age of 70, only 8 months after being diagnosed with the killer cancer of the pancreas, I was still pretty skeptical about people who professed to feel the presence of a loved one who had passed. I wrote it off to their imagination tricking them, due to the pain of their feelings of loss.
Although my parents had moved to Chicago, and I remained in New York, we saw each other quite a bit; my dad and I were early risers, so we often spoke by phone as we drank our morning coffee.
There was so much that I missed about no longer being able to actually talk with him, especially our “coffee talk”. After his death I was so emotionally spent, that I felt nothing for a while.
One morning after preparing my coffee, I sat down and began drinking as I stared at the bare trees of winter. I felt a pat on my back, and looked around assuming my husband had entered the room…no one was there!
This kind of thing would happen as I would drink my morning coffee, for many years after my dad passed. Part of me thought this was all in my head because I just missed him so much.
One day I smelled his after-shave, as I nervously was getting ready for an important interview…somehow I just knew that he had been watching over me and made his presence known in this way. I broke down in tears of relief and appreciation.
This is really interesting.
It has been my experience, as well as that reported by many who have suffered the loss of someone very dear to them, that grief is not something you just get over. It is more painful in the beginning (first few years), but actually continues throughout the course of your life. Unless you have had the experience of a deceased love one making their presence known, you might not believe in this otherworldly experience.
Whether you are a believer in such paranormal events or not, I think you will find the video you are about to watch, thought-provoking. It’s discussion of people’s reports of how they have experienced the presence of their loved ones who have passed, is varied and certainly is open for interpretation. The intriguing ways people are “touched” by those who have died include:
1. Lucid Dreams – 2. Visions – 3. Feeling Their Touch or Presence – 4. A Sudden Change in Temperature – 5. Unexplainable and Repeated Electrical Phenomena – 6. Objects Disappearing and Reappearing Somewhere Else in Your Home – 7. Smelling Them.

After Going Over All These Signs Of a Loved One Trying To Make Contact Here Is An Absolutely Sad Yet Beautiful Story Of a Father and Son Who Were In a Fatal Car Accident But The Boy Somehow Survived:
Twenty two years ago Julie Kemp was driving with her husband Andy and 8 year old son Landon. The family was headed home from church when an ambulance, not in emergency mode, slammed into them at an intersection.
Andy died instantly while Julie, although unconscious, was stabilized by first responders. In all the chaos the rescuers didn’t even know that Landon was still in the crumpled up car because the damage was so severe that they couldn’t see him in the back seat.
Fortunately, by a stroke of luck someone spotted one of his shoes laying on the road and they worked quickly to get him out. When they finally freed Landon, he was not breathing, but medics managed to resuscitate him.
He was flown to the Carolinas Medical Center and on the way, he had to be resuscitated again, and when he arrived at the hospital, they had to bring him back to life for a third time.
His prognosis was grim, and doctors told his mother that if Landon did make it, he would likely not be able to walk or eat on his own and that he’d be like an 8 year old child for the rest of his life. Two weeks later a miracle happened. Landon woke up, opened his eyes, and was able to communicate clearly. He was not brain damaged at all. Now Julie had to tell him the heartbreaking news that his father had died.
Wanting to be as gentle as possible, Julie asked her son if he knew where his father was. Landon said he knew and that he saw his father in heaven. His mother was stunned when he went on to say that he also saw two family friends who had passed and two of her other children as well in heaven. At first, she was confused by this then remembered that before she had him, she’d miscarried twice.
She had never told Landon about those losses because he was still too young to understand. She couldn’t explain any of what he told her and so she took it as proof that Landon had been to heaven. Through all of the heartbreak and loss she’d experienced in the last couple of weeks, she found comfort in the thought and her faith in God was renewed.
Many people have claimed to have gone to heaven and then come back. Many of these experiences involve near death accidents and tragedies, where people see loved ones who have passed and then are sent back to Earth because their time is not yet up.
They could very well be seeing the afterlife and heaven, those who see it are convinced of that, and the evidence is compelling no matter what you believe.

Many kids and teens across the world will write letters to their future selves about what they want to do as they get older. Some talk about when they want to get married, how many kids they want, who their husband/wife should be.
While others write about what job they want to work, how far they want to take their education and what their dream career path should look like. After they are done writing the letter, they seal it up, write the date the letter should be opened and put it in a safe place where they will remember to look years down the line.
In today’s story this is exactly what Taylor Smith Johnson a teenager from Tennessee did. One day she woke up and decided to write who future self a letter that she would open on April 13, 2023.
Taylor decided age 22 would be the perfect time for her future self to read this letter as a reminder of what trajectory she wanted her life to head. She had big dreams, great ambition, wanted to travel all around the world, go to college and possibly graduate school while having God always in her heart.
Then without warning a few months after she wrote this letter, Taylor died from Pneumonia and would never be able to open the letter she had written months earlier. Her parents were completely crushed by the loss of their daughter, as losing a child is probably the worst thing that could ever happen to a parent.
As Taylor’s parents tried to cope with the loss of their daughter even going into her room was too difficult. The memories would flood back into their minds and they would immediately break down not being able to cope with the terrible loss.
Then months later, her mother finally had the strength to enter Taylor’s room and she stumbled upon the letter Taylor wrote to her future self. Her mom with tears in her eyes, opened the envelope and began reading the letter. She was stunned by all the things Taylor aspired to and wished her sweet little girl could just come back and do everything she dreamed of.
Although, her daughter was gone, it felt as if she sent this letter from heaven and it gave her mom some peace and closure that she desperately needed. Taylor could no longer be with her family in the physical form but she just knew her little angel would always be with them in spirit.
Her mother wanted Taylor’s memory to live on, so she posted the beautiful message on social media hoping that it would help all her family and friends cope with the untimely loss of her daughter…

6 Clear Signs You Shouldn’t Ever Let Your Partner Go. Don’t Ignore These Signs.
image via – shutterstock.com
Finding someone that you connect with on every level often takes time. As a popular saying goes “You have to date a lot of frogs before you finally meet your prince.” However, when you finally do come across that someone special you just know, feel, and can sense that they are the one for you.
Relationships, dating, falling in love, and everything else that comes along with it can be intense. While we all want the fairy tale, in reality no relationship is perfect. Oftentimes our love lives are filled with drama and confusion, yet we stick them out through the high points and the low ones.
We’ve all wondered at some point in time about whether or not the person we are with is the right one for us. Spotting the red flags is usually easy to do, but what about the signs and signals that tell us our partner is in fact a great match and we should stay with them? Below are a few of the top qualities that your significant other should exhibit and the main feelings they should bring out in you. If your partner does these six things, plus the ones covered in the accompanying video, then it’s best to not let them go!
1) They are always there when you need them the most:
Someone who is reliable and by your side no matter what is a keeper. We all need people who support us, but if a relationship is to last then your partner needs to be one of your main supporters. Knowing that they always have your back and will show up whenever you need them the most is something you should never take for granted or let go of.
2) They let you do your own thing:
Having someone who recognizes the need for freedom in a relationship is crucial if you want it to be long-lasting. When your partner lets you do your own thing without trying to somehow control or manipulate you, it means that they trust you and have confidence in what the two of you share. Rather than ending up jealous, hurt, or angry when you go out to meet up with friends or whatnot, they’re happy for you and don’t question your motives or whereabouts.
3) They share your sense of humor:
Having someone that cracks you up and makes you smile is always important to a healthy relationship. When your partner appreciates and understands your particular type of humor, and vice-versa, then you’ll always have a great time together. Laughter is what gets us through not only the easy, fun times, but also the tough, trying ones. So if they can always somehow manage to put a smile on your face, hold onto them.
4) They don’t try to rile you up:
When you’re with someone who knows everything about you, then they should always try to help you relax rather than ruffle your feathers even further if you become agitated. Having a partner who is a positive, calming influence in your life will help make tense or hurtful situations go a lot easier than not.
5) No matter what happens, they still love you in the end:
If your partner sticks with you through not only the best of times but also the worst, then they absolutely love you for exactly who you are. They won’t build you up into someone you are not or pretend that you’re flawless. Instead, they recognize and know who you are on the inside and love you for that. When you have a partner who loves you unconditionally, cherish them and don’t let them go!
6) They make you feel like you can accomplish your dreams:
If your partner always believes in you and encourages you to achieve your goals, no matter what happens in life or how far-fetched your dreams may be, then keep them! Someone who truly loves you will want only the best for you. They won’t stand in your way, be jealous, or go against you. Instead, they’ll help you out however and whenever they can and through it all they will never stop believing in you.

Neglected Circus Tiger Was Put In a Tiny Rusty Cage For 12 Years. Now Watch When He’s Freed.
image via – youtube.com
A tiny rusty old cage is no place for any wild animal to live, let alone a full grown tiger. Sadly, that’s exactly where a beautiful tiger named Hoover was forced to live his life as part of a traveling circus in Peru.
While the details of Hoover’s early life remain mostly unknown, it’s believed that he was originally part of a group of 6-12 tigers that the circus used in their shows. By the time his rescuers got to him, he was the last remaining one. Over the past twelve years of his life he had been mistreated, abused, and forced to perform tricks. When he wasn’t being openly exploited he was kept locked up in a cramped cage day in and day out, always on the move. He needed help fast or he would die.
Life was anything but natural and comfortable for Hoover. His captors brought him from one town to the next where he was allowed out only for shows. His cage was completely inadequate for such a large, majestic tiger and barely allowed him any room to move around. He spent the days pacing back and forth in the hot, dusty, stale air with nothing to stimulate his mind or play with. All he had was a dusty floor to lay on that was surrounded by metal bars and dirt. There was no real shelter overhead to protect him from the elements and the neglectful state he was held in was horrendous.
The circus that Hoover was found with had been on the run for eight months before authorities caught up with them. For years a number of travelling circuses had operated in Peru using wild animals in their shows. The country recently changed the law and passed a circus animal ban in response to widespread cruelty, abuse, and sub-par conditions in which most circus animals were kept. The ban made it illegal to keep or use animals in circus shows and authorities have been working alongside animal advocacy non-profits, like Animal Defenders International (ADI), to strictly enforce it. Thanks to a tip from the public they’d received, ADI was able to stage a surprise raid on the circus and recover Hoover.
They immediatley took him to their resuce center in Peru and threw open the cage door to let him out and taste freedom for the first time. This video captures the moment he was finally released from his life of abuse and neglect. For the first time in perhaps all of his 12 years he was able to fully stretch out and do the one action that all cats seem to love! After his stretch he cautiously headed through the door and out into the temporary holding pen, where he stepped onto soft green grass. The grass on the bottom of his paws must have felt so strange and yet wonderful.
The veterinarians at ADI checked him out and found he was sick and emaciated. After months of rehab the big tiger was restored back to full health and once he was given the all clear, he was ready to head to his new forever home at Big Cat Rescue (BCR) in Florida. Getting a full grown tiger from Peru to America is no small operation. It took a full year before the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service finally gave its approval and only then did Hoover’s road trip begin. The journey involved multiple trucks and transfers before he was secured into a cargo plane for the final leg of his trip. Vets and caretakers monitored his health closely to ensure he was safe and comfortable every step of the way.
When he finally touched down and arrived at the BCR facility he was released into his new enclosure to check it all out. His new habitat is worlds away from the cramped barren cage he was held in, it’s filled with an abundance of plants, trees, grasses, and other greenery. There’s also platforms to rest on in the sunshine and a lake to swim and cool off in on the premises. Check out the clip to see Hoover exploring his new digs, drinking from the lake, walking among the trees, and sniffing at the ground. From the looks of it, he loves the water and couldn’t be happier!
Hoover will live out the rest of his life at BCR where he’s free to wander about his new habitat completely unchained. He no longer faces a life full of uncertainty and constant travel, there are no more people gawking at him, or trainers abusing him. Instead, he finally has the chance to spend his final years among other tigers, in the wild where he’s protected and able to move about on his own, and that is beautiful.
