25 years ago today, our world changed forever. May we never forget the heinous attacks on our way of life, the innocent lives lost, the unity we felt, and the heroes who emerged.
God bless America. 🇺🇸
“When we were first invited to Milan for the Olympics, we said no. It felt like more than we could handle. But we kept thinking about what John and Matty would say if they knew we turned it down. We knew the answer. John loved representing his country. From the time he was little, he dreamed of competing at the Olympics. In that final summer, he was working harder than ever, pushing himself with everything he had to earn a spot on that roster. He was going to be there. Sitting with that knowledge while watching these Games was not easy — but being present for them, surrounded by people who truly cared about John and Matty, made it something we will always treasure. Every person we encountered took the time to ask about the boys — who they were, what they meant to us, the kind of people they were away from the ice. What struck us most was realizing that John and Matty's impact reaches so much further than we sometimes see in our own grief. They are carried by so many people — in locker rooms, in conversations, in quiet moments we will never even know about. That means everything to us. And then Team USA won gold. When Zach, Auston, and Matthew carried John's jersey around that ice, we were overwhelmed — they made sure he was there. And then to see Noa and Johnny — on Johnny's second birthday — carried out onto the ice to be part of that gold medal photo — there are no words for what that felt like. John and Matty should have been there, and in that moment, they were. Thank you to every member of that team for loving John & Matty - and for making sure they were part of something historic. And thank you to everyone at @NBCOlympics and @usahockey for your kindness, your generosity, and for bringing our family to Milan to witness it. You gave us a gift we didn't know we needed.
With love and gratitude,
The Gaudreau Family"
American bison are unique in the animal kingdom. They instinctively turn into the raging snowstorm rather than fleeing from it. They know that charging straight through the blizzard gets them to clearer skies faster.
This is a profound life lesson for us. Sometimes the quickest way out of hardship isn’t avoidance or retreat, but facing it head on with courage & resolve.
No matter what challenges or “battles” 2026 brings your way…. Be one of God’s most faithful bison. Strong, steadfast & unafraid to walk straight into the storm.

🚨 A MOM JUST REALIZED SHE MAY HAVE PICKED UP HER SON FOR THE LAST TIME - AND THE VIDEO HAS MILLIONS CRYING
She starts laughing, then instantly breaks as she explains a theory she just learned:
“There’s a first time for everything… and a last time.”
The first time he ate solid food.
The first time he walked.
The first time he used a sippy cup.
Then she says the part that destroys everyone:
“I don’t remember the last time… and one day I won’t be able to pick you up anymore.”
Her son - smiling, clueless, pure - agrees to let her lift him one last time.
He says, “I’m 100 pounds.”
She says, “I don’t care.”
She picks him up anyway… and breaks completely.
They hug.
He clings to her.
She whispers “I love you,” knowing this is the moment she’s been avoiding for years.
People online are saying this is one of the most heartbreaking parenting videos they’ve ever seen.
Honest question: Do you remember the last time your parents picked you up or did it pass without anyone realizing?
My deepest condolences to the families of the two National Guardsmen who were murdered in cold blood today.
How many innocent people dying does it take to reform our broken system?
Radical action is needed.
My 13 year old Daughter died from #BrainCancer 5,504 days ago. 💔
I would LOVE to see my Ashley’s name 5,504 times in comments for all the days she’s been missing.
When you lose a Child, the most beautiful word you can hear is their name. ❤️
A Repost & Follow would mean the world to us to keep our Ashley’s story alive.

At Hedrick Stadium at Fort Bragg Over 7,500 marked boots are on display and each represent a service member who has lost their life since 9/11. Thank you to all who honor our fallen service members.
We never thought our Ashley would get #BrainCancer & always wonder if we could’ve done something differently in Ashley’s treatment plan or even if we could’ve prevented her brain cancer from ever happening.
Since my 13 year old Daughter’s death, my life’s mission & desire is to make a dramatic impact in our #ChildhoodCancer community & really could use your help.
We would be beyond grateful for a simple Follow & Repost. We want to keep our Ashley’s story alive & want our Voices to be heard for every single Child battling this awful disease.
Please help us fight for justice for those who do not have a voice. 🙏🏻
