Kindergarteners Surprised Their Deaf Custodian By Signing ‘Happy Birthday’

This is so sweet! It takes a lot to make the school day run smoothly. The parents, the principal, the teachers, and the custodians all play a crucial role. So in honor of one janitor’s birthday, a kindergarten class planned a sweet surprise to make him feel extra special. James Anthony is deaf and has worked as a custodian at at Hickerson Elementary in Tennessee for 15 years. On his 60th birthday, a group of kindergarteners showed just how grateful they are for all of his hard work by signing “Happy Birthday” using American sign language (ASL). The performance was led by teachers Amy Hershman and Allyssa Hartsfield, who taught the children to sign the song as a surprise for Anthony. He was clearly moved by their efforts, and thankfully — they caught the big reveal on video. His r...

U.S. Navy Man Learns That His Wife Has Kept An Important Detail From Him During Deployment

Though the global telecoms of today have made communication possible from nearly anywhere, there are still those–such as the men and women of our military–whose ability to interact with friends and loved ones is hampered by their duty. While this distance can often strengthen and solidify relationships, it can also destroy them. When one U.S. Navy man suspected that his wife was hiding something big from him, she was able to use their lack of communication to her advantage. But the moment he returned home, this sailor received news that turned his world upside down. Military men and women are often required to make the difficult sacrifice of being away from their families for months–or even years–at a time. But while being away from those you love is hard enough as it is, it becomes ev...

Police Officer Retires After More Than 30 Years Of Service, Gets Send Off From Familiar Voice.

Anyone who’s ever worked in an office has probably been to a retirement announcement or party. Typically, there’s a speech from the boss (while the employee stands to the side, probably awkwardly), a round of applause, and some cake. For Officer Duane Ledoux of the Southbridge Police Department in Massachusetts, his announcement was a little more exciting. Ledoux spent more than 30 years with the department, so his last day, and last ride, was an emotional one. Facebook His tenure and dedication to the job have always been admirable, perhaps even more so because 15 years ago, he lost his wife and one of his two sons in a car accident. Despite the tragedy, he continued to show up to work and serve. So, on the day of his retirement, after spending so much of his life serving and pr...

Dad Works Three Jobs To Surprise Daughter With Dream Dress—And Her Reaction Is So Touching

When 14-year-old Nevaeha Smith found the dress of her dreams for her eighth-grade dance, there was just one little problem: the price tag. After falling in love with the lace-and-floral number, the Pittsburgh teen asked her parents if the $200 dress was something they could afford. Nevaeha’s dad, Ricky Smith, made his daughter no promises but said he would see what he could do. Ricky — who works three jobs, at McDonald’s, Popeye’s and Circle K, to make ends meet for his family — was determined to make sure he could give Nevahaeha her dream dress for the special occasion. After squeezing extra shifts into his already packed work schedule, Ricky was able to scrape together the money to buy the dress. When the dance rolled around, Ricky surprised Nevaeha with the dress in a very special way...
