An 82-year-old man who felt alone and lost his wife chooses to assist his new neighbours.

Moving to a new place with five kids might be a little scary because everything is new, including the people, places, and way of life.

This is what Sharaine Carabello, 32, and her husband Wilson, 42, went through when they moved from Texas to Pawtucket, Rhode Island. They were especially worried about being accepted because they were the only Black family in the neighborhood and had no idea what the future held.

The Caraballo family was worried about blending in at their new neighborhood until they unexpectedly received assistance from their 82-year-old neighbor, Paul Callahan. Paul, who had recently lost his wife, greeted them warmly. When he brought tools and offered to help fix up their house, they bonded in a special way.

Paul was a manager at Texas Instruments once, and according to USA Today’s Sharaine Carabello, he was like family. They got him through a terrible time by helping him with handyman tasks and inviting him to family gatherings. As their bond grew, Paul assumed the role of honorary grandpa for the Caraballo kids.

Paul did more than just fix broken objects around the house; he became an essential part of the Caraballo family’s daily schedule. He becomes the children’s favorite person, known as “Grandpa,” by making them happy, telling them stories, and spending almost every day with them.

Paul, who likes to socialize and engage with others, thinks that developing relationships is essential. He thinks that if you don’t give it a try, you can miss out on making friends. Paul says it doesn’t have to cost anything to be kind, and you typically get something good in return.

The Caraballo family became close to Paul by choosing to be open and understanding with him, even though they were only neighbors. They learned that families are made up of more members than only their biological relatives. You might feel like you belong and get the support you need by forming close relationships with others.

In this unexpected bond, the Caraballos found a helpful neighbor as well as a loving family member. Conversely, Paul experienced a newfound feeling of fulfillment and purpose, proving that sometimes, individuals come into our lives at the very moment we most need them.

Her photo wearing a bikini on the beach is being shared but thousands and when the camera zooms out we understand why

What was supposed to be a day filled with fun and joy turned into a tragic incident for the grad-student at The University of Georgia, Aimee Copeland.

That day in 2012, she and her friends decided to go on a trip to a small lake, where they could zipline over the water. This sounded like a great idea which they all loved the moment they heard it.

Unfortunately, when it was Aimee’s turn to have some fun, the the cable snapped and she fell down a cliff. Sadly, she lost her leg that day.

Aimee was rushed to the hospital, and once there doctors had more horrific news. Aimme contracted a very serious flesh-eating bacteria which infected her wound. It was a matter of hours if she would survive or live.

The bacteria she had is known as Aeromonas hydrophila. This bacteria easily leads to a life-threatening condition known as necrotizing fasciitis, commonly referred to as a flesh-eating disease.

It required 11 surgeries for her life to be saved, but she lost both her hands and legs which needed to be amputated.

However, as brave as she has been, this young woman didn’t let the tragedy stay on her way of living her life to the best of her abilities.

Four years after the incident, Aimee shared a photo of herself at the beach, wearing a bikini and putting a huge smile on her face.

Many found inspiration in the photo and it was soon shared on the social media thousands of times with many saying that Aimee is a true inspiration.

She’s proud of herself and of everything she managed to overcome, and what’s most, she’s proud of her body and the way she looks after the ordeal she had gone through.

“It has taken me a long time to become comfortable with and accept my new body. We are ALL made with imperfections and there is so much beauty in our flaws. The scars and skin grafting build character! It’s not about what you have — what you do with what you have is what really counts,” she wrote in the caption.

Today, Aimee is an advocate for amputee and disability rights, and she continues to inspire others through her public speaking engagements and social media posts. What’s most, she’s pursuing a PhD in psychology at the University of West Georgia.

She is the perfect example that nothing can take our dreams away, not even a tragedy like the one she suffered.
