Rare Simple

A man’s Facebook post about his wife’s habit of co-sleeping with their young children has gone viral and ignited a contentious discussion on social media. The photo shows his wife lying in bed with their two children, one of whom is a baby. “Recently my wife was talking to a friend and they were talking about this thing called ‘co-sleeping’ and I heard the other person ask ‘Doesn’t your husband hate that? My husband would never let me do that,’” the man, Brinkley, wrote.

“So I just decided to come out as a man and set a few things straight,” he continued. “I do NOT hate any part of what makes my wife the mother that she is. I would NEVER degrade or disregard anything that she feels like doing for my children. Do I have to squeeze into a small corner of the bed sometimes? Yeah? But my God how beautiful does she look holding my children?”

The post has since been liked over 129,000 times and shared more than 27,500 times. It has also received over 5,000 comments, with users arguing about whether it’s wise — or even safe — for parents to share a bed with their kids. “This is dangerous for the baby,” one user wrote. “Babies should sleep alone, on their back, in a crib. Remember the A< B< Cs of safe sleep.” “Co-sleeping is not safe,” a fellow user agreed. “Children get rolled on all of the time, and this type of behavior creates children who can’t sleep on their own without touch!” But others pushed back in favor of the practice. “Co-sleeping happened for thousands of years until we became a ‘civilized’ society and put the kids at the other end of the house!” one person commented. The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) estimates that around 3,500 babies die every year in sleep-related incidents. AAP recommends that babies sleep on their backs on a firm mattress without any pillows or blankets nearby, as such items can increase the risk of suffocation. AAP advises against parents sleeping in the same bed as their babies. After Brinkley’s post went viral, his wife, Alora, responded to the criticism she received with a Facebook post of her own. “My husband supervised this entire experience and made it possible for me to comfortably lay with them both like this as he very lovingly and carefully watched over us,” she wrote. “We would never put our children in a dangerous situation and our night time sleeping looks completely different than this.” “We live in a very political time and an overly aggressive society,” she added. “To say hurtful things just because you don’t like a picture or don’t like a post that you didn’t have to read in the first place is just an unnecessary waste of time.”

It’s easy to forget that there are things more important than money. And this is especially true of farmers, who struggle just to put food on our tables.

When the brave farmer, Johnny, appeared on ”Shark Tank”, he had the spirit and heart—and an idea that could make a positive impact on thousands of farmers across America.

Johhny was on the show in to ask the panel for an investment of $150,000 in his “Tree T-Pee” company. His invention is a game-changer in plant irrigation and it saves thousands of gallons of water for farmers every year. Read the full story here ▶

Japan’s defence ministry said late on Friday it had spotted two Russian Navy ships in the waters near Taiwan and Japan’s Okinawa islands in the previous four days, following a similar announcement this week from Taiwan.

Taiwan’s defence ministry said on Tuesday it had spotted two Russian frigates off its eastern coast and send aircraft and ships to keep watch.

Japan’s government said last month that repeated Russian military activity near Japanese territory, including joint drills with Chinese forces, posed “serious concern” for Japan’s national security.

Japan and Taiwan have joined the United States and its allies in imposing wide-ranging sanctions on Russia after its invasion of Ukraine last year.

The Japanese ministry said two Steregushchy-class frigates were first spotted 70 km (40 miles) southwest of Japan’s westernmost island of Yonaguni, in Okinawa prefecture neat Taiwan, on Tuesday morning.

The vessels sailed back and forth through the waters between Yonaguni and Taiwan, moved eastward and were last spotted on Friday in the waters between Miyako and Okinawa islands, it said, adding Japan dispatched two vessels to monitor the Russian ships.

Russia’s Interfax news agency reported on Tuesday that a detachment of ships of the Russian Pacific Fleet had entered the southern parts of the Philippine Sea to perform tasks as part of a long-range sea passage.

When the pregnant woman, Brianna, was just 17 weeks pregnant, she got diagnosed with an aggressive and dangerous form of leukemia. It was a rare type that put her life at risk.
Although she was only eighteen-years-old at the time of the cancer diagnosis, doctors gave her a tough choice. They told her that she could either terminate the pregnancy and fight the rare form of cancer or she could delay treatment and carry her unborn baby to term.

According to her husband, Jackson, as she battled the intense symptoms of cancer, she kept trying to remain positive for her unborn baby. She dealt with excruciating pain and fevers. However, when she later contracted an infection, she worried that it could be passed on to her unborn son, Kyden. Family members described the baby boy as a miracle. He was delivered by emergency C-section three months early.

Unfortunately, after twelve short but magical days with Kyden, he passed away after he picked up a stomach infection that his tiny body could not fight. During an interview with Daily Mail, Brianna said, “Those 12 days I was able to spend with my baby boy Kyden, holding him, counting his toes and fingers and talking to him like I would when he was in my tummy. They were just so special. They were the best 12 days of my life! Then the most shocking and heartbreaking news was when he picked up a stomach infection, and within hours we were told to say our goodbyes. The infection took his precious life, and our son grew his wings.”

The death of Kyden devastated Brianna, but she decided to keep fighting. But her health took a turn for the worst. She died days after her nineteenth birthday. Her online obituary states, “You were many things. Forgotten will not be one of them. We will love you forever, Queen B.” After the love of his life and his newborn son both died just months apart, the man who was left behind has come forward to proclaim his new vow to honor them. The man’s beautiful bride-to-be died after she delayed cancer treatment to give birth to the couple’s son. Although she bravely delayed cancer treatment to protect her unborn baby boy, he died a few months before her passing.

As we all (at least most of us) know by now, love is something that is beyond the looks and the shape of a person. This couple defied all odds and after being in a long distance relationship and then getting married to each other eventually.

Amalie is a plus-size woman while her husband Sean is a normal thin man. When they or any other couple like them are seen together the other people always label them as odd-couple.

During an interview, Sean talked about how he met and married Amalie. He also talked about the difference in their sizes. He showed his disagreement on the concept that fat people should live with fat ones and thin with thin ones. Amalie, originally from Denmark, started gaining rapid weight when she was 2 years old. Due to this, she was bullied, she harmed herself and had a tough childhood.

They all laughed when he married a plus-size woman; ‘years later, they all regretted it’!This resulted in her obsession with eating too much that let her weight increase constantly. But later when she reached the age of 20 she started accepting her size 30 body.

She met Sean in an online game she was playing. Sean accepted Amalie for how she is and doesn’t have any problem with her looks or shape. Although Amalie initially believed that meeting someone online is really different than meeting them in person. Although they did share each other’s pictures but Amalie believed it is important to meet someone in person to know them completely. However, Sean did not care about her being a plus-size woman or her the way she looks.

A year later they decided to meet for real. After seeing Amalie Sean did not care about her body and wanted to get married as the couple was already in love. He also in an interview said that I had never thought that I would be in love with a plus-size woman (as he himself is a very thin man) but after he met Amalie it was the last thing on his mind and he actually found her very attractive. Sean even had to leave his father because he did not like larger people. But after he came into a relationship with Amalie, the is now living a happy and fulfilling life and their relationship is something others could get inspire of. They now doesn’t care about the opinion of other people and are really happy together.
