This cannot be said enough: we need protection from Donald Trump.

HERO: Officer Ralph Mondesir is part of the Gwinnett County Police Department in Georgia.

One afternoon, he was sitting in his patrol car finishing paperwork when someone ran up to him for help. They told him an 18-month-old baby wasn’t breathing. Mondesir quickly got out of his car and ran to the child. He picked the baby up and started CPR.

An off-duty nurse stepped in to give rescue breaths while Mondesir pressed on the boy’s chest. They worked side by side for seven long minutes.

At first, the baby didn’t move, but then his pulse came back and he started breathing again. Paramedics arrived soon after and rushed him to the hospital. Doctors said the baby survived because of the fast work of Officer Mondesir and the nurse.

Mondesir said, “I got a little emotional towards the end. I just did what I was trained to do, and I will always keep doing it no matter what.”

He truly is a hero

Does this handmade maid of honor dress look good enough?
My daughter is going to be the maid of honor at my sister's wedding, and I made the dress, but I'm anxious to know what people will think, so I posted it here first so I don't embarrass myself. I know that sounds ridiculous, asking strangers for validation before my own family sees it, but my sister has opinions about everything. Her wedding planner has opinions. Her future mother-in-law definitely has opinions. And I'm just here with my crochet hook and a pattern I found on Tedooo app, hoping I didn't completely mess up the most important dress my kid will ever wear before she's old enough to get married herself.
I started this dress four months ago. Bought the thread, watched tutorial videos at midnight when I couldn't sleep, frogged entire sections when the tension looked wrong. My daughter tried it on every two weeks, standing on a chair in our kitchen while I pinned and adjusted and panicked that the sleeves weren't elegant enough, that the skirt wasn't full enough, that the whole thing looked homemade in a bad way instead of a charming way. She kept saying it was beautiful. My husband kept saying it was beautiful. But they have to say that, right? They're contractually obligated to lie to me.
The wedding is in three weeks. My sister still hasn't seen it. She keeps asking if I've ordered the dress yet, and I keep deflecting because I'm terrified she's going to take one look and suggest we just buy something from a bridal shop instead. I've put so many hours into this, so much love and anxiety and late nights with my reading glasses on, counting stitches and praying the lace pattern would turn out right. I even opened a small shop on Tedooo app recently where I sell custom crochet pieces, thinking maybe if other people validate my work, I'll believe in it more. I've gotten a few orders, some really kind messages, but this dress feels different. This is my daughter, my sister's wedding, my entire family judging whether I'm good enough at something I love.
I posted the photo here because I needed honest opinions from people who make things, who understand the difference between good handmade and mediocre handmade. Tell me the truth. Does this dress look like something a maid of honor should wear, or does it look like I got in over my head and should've just bought something normal? I can handle criticism better than I can handle showing up to that wedding and seeing disappointment on my sister's face

This is what a President and First Lady look and act like. It’s so obvious how much they love and respect each other too. The Nobel Peace Prize should be his next. 👇👇👇

A firefighter was called to an emergency in November 2011.

A woman was in labor.

There was no time to reach the hospital.

So inside the ambulance, firefighter and EMT Marc Hadden helped deliver a baby girl.

The moment she was placed in his hands, she struggled to breathe.

Marc gave her oxygen and fought to help her take her first breath.

Then he heard her cry.

“I helped her take her first breath.”

At the hospital, Marc learned the baby's birth mother was considering adoption because she could not care for her.

Almost jokingly, he told the nurses to put his name down if the baby needed a family.

But Marc and his wife Beth had already spent years hoping for another child.

When Marc called home and said he had delivered a baby, Beth joked,

“Can we keep her?”

Neither of them knew how close those words were to becoming real.

The next day, Beth met the baby's birth mother.

By the end of that meeting, the mother had made her decision.

She wanted Marc and Beth to adopt her little girl.

Just 48 hours after Marc helped bring the baby into the world, he and his wife brought her home.

They named her Rebecca Grace.

Gracie.

Years later, Marc would take his daughter back to the ambulance where her life began.

The firefighter who helped her take her first breath became the father who would be there for all the breaths that followed
