Mom Films Teen Reaching Into The Mailbox. When He Pulls THIS Out, She’s Brought To Tears.

Tina’s 16-year-old son, Garrett, was born with a rare genetic disorder called Smith-Magenis syndrome. Along with anxiety and tantrums, the syndrome causes him to fixate on things. Recently, Garrett became obsessed with a guitar he spotted at a thrift store, and so he decided to write a letter to the Easter Bunny. Tina, understanding of her son’s condition — and knowing Garrett’s desire for the guitar was fleeting — agreed to help him ask the Easter Bunny for it.

Tina stuck the letter in the mail, but instead of using a real stamp, she used a square ticket. She assumed a carrier would realize it wasn’t actual mail and throw the letter aside.

But the very next day, Tina and Garrett found a handwritten post-it note stuck to their regular stack of mail. When Garrett reached into the mailbox and read the Post-It, he and his mom were blown away.

Recently, Garrett and Tina stuck a fake letter to the Easter Bunny in their mailbox, asking for the guitar Garrett wanted. Since there was no stamp on the letter, Tina assumed it would be cast aside by the mail carrier. The mother and son went on with their day.

But the next day, Garrett and Tina were stunned to find a Post-It note stuck to their mail.

“I heard that a letter from the Easter Bunny is on its way,” it read.

The mail woman, who remains anonymous, delighted Garrett’s imagination; she made it look as though the Easter Bunny sent a package all the way from Bunny Village. She also included a candy and an “official” Easter Bunny signature.

The mail carrier’s surprise delivery made Garrett so happy that he sleeps with the card under his pillow at night.

Tina and her family are currently working on buying Garrett his own guitar.

Garrett and the mail woman have since struck up a beautiful friendship.

Here Are The 25 Best Photobombs Ever Caught On Camera

Food Dinner

There’s only one man I’ve ever called a coward, and that’s Brian Doyle Murray. No, what I’m calling you is a television actor. Army had half a day. That’s why you always leave a note!

Exit Strategy

There’s so many poorly chosen words in that sentence. First place chick is hot, but has an attitude, doesn’t date magicians. Say goodbye to these, because it’s the last time!

  • Marry me.
  • Oh, you’re gonna be in a coma, all right.
  • I care deeply for nature.

Amigos

No! I was ashamed to be SEEN with you. I like being with you. I’ve opened a door here that I regret. I care deeply for nature.

Pier Pressure

Oh, you’re gonna be in a coma, all right. I don’t understand the question, and I won’t respond to it. Not tricks, Michael, illusions. Across from where? Well, what do you expect, mother? No, I did not kill Kitty. However, I am going to oblige and answer the nice officer’s questions because I am an honest man with no secrets to hide.

  1. That’s what it said on ‘Ask Jeeves.’
  2. Well, what do you expect, mother?
  3. Marry me.
  4. It’s called ‘taking advantage.’ It’s what gets you ahead in life.
  5. Steve Holt!
Ready, Aim, Marry Me

What’s Spanish for “I know you speak English?” That’s what it said on ‘Ask Jeeves.’ Get me a vodka rocks. And a piece of toast. No… but I’d like to be asked! Really? Did nothing cancel? But I bought a yearbook ad from you, doesn’t that mean anything anymore?

Afternoon delight

We just call it a sausage. I’ve opened a door here that I regret. Marry me. No… but I’d like to be asked!

Guards! Bring me the forms I need to fill out to have her taken away! Oh, I always feared he might run off like this. Why, why, why didn’t I break his legs? Tell them I hate them. Yes, except the Dave Matthews Band doesn’t rock.

The Honking

Hey, guess what you’re accessories to. I love this planet! I’ve got wealth, fame, and access to the depths of sleaze that those things bring. Actually, that’s still true. Good man. Nixon’s pro-war and pro-family. Meh. Yeah, lots of people did.

  • Come, Comrade Bender! We must take to the streets!
  • Bender, this is Fry’s decision… and he made it wrong. So it’s time for us to interfere in his life.
  • WINDMILLS DO NOT WORK THAT WAY! GOOD NIGHT!
  • Hello Morbo, how’s the family?

A Big Piece of Garbage

Who said that? SURE you can die! You want to die?! Man, I’m sore all over. I feel like I just went ten rounds with mighty Thor. Robot 1-X, save my friends! And Zoidberg! Well I’da done better, but it’s plum hard pleading a case while awaiting trial for that there incompetence.

The Why of Fry

I’m sure those windmills will keep them cool. I was all of history’s great robot actors – Acting Unit 0.8; Thespomat; David Duchovny! I saw you with those two “ladies of the evening” at Elzars. Explain that. I don’t ‘need’ to drink. I can quit anytime I want!

  1. THE BIG BRAIN AM WINNING AGAIN! I AM THE GREETEST! NOW I AM LEAVING EARTH, FOR NO RAISEN!
  2. I can explain. It’s very valuable.
  3. Eeeee! Now say “nuclear wessels”!

I AM THE GREETEST! NOW I AM LEAVING EARTH, FOR NO RAISEN! Bender! Ship! Stop bickering or I’m going to come back there and change your opinions manually! Tell her you just want to talk. It has nothing to do with mating.

Man Tries To Abandon Wife’s Cat. What Followed Is Priceless.

Do you ever wonder how cats find their way home? Scientists have studied what kind of skills our pets have to find home, and they are no less sophisticated than using GPS, or making a phone call for directions.
In fact, as this story demonstrates, the way cats do it may be even more effective than we do.catss

Puppy Watches Dad Fill His Food Bowl. What He Does Before Eating Completely Melts My Heart

Dad And Puppy Pray Before Mealtime

Dad was about to feed his puppy, then all of a sudden fell on his face to the floor, but watch what puppy does. They only had begun their routine as dad and puppy entered the kitchen. Dad faithfully brought out the dog food while his puppy looked bright-eyed and bushy-tailed ready to eat. Holding back with patience, the puppy demonstrates an incredible self-control. Though his mouth was drooling, his paws were itching to inch forward to the food bowl, and his eyes beheld the food that was oh-so-close, he held back. He knew what he was suppose to do.

The last piece of food dropped into the bowl, and dad fell on his face to the floor, and puppy followed his example. They bowed in reverence to God and prayed to thank Him for the food. This wasn’t a trick that dad taught his puppy, it was a habit that he himself wanted his puppy to do with him.

Asking for the blessing and nourishment of the food, puppy listened carefully before he took a single bite. Dad prays, “We are very grateful and appreciative for everything we have. Thank You, Lord, for everything.” What precious manners dad teaches puppy. There is truly so much to be thankful for.

Four Very Calm Rescue Dogs Enjoy A Soothing Bath Together

For whatever reason, pit bulls these days are coming with an absolutely horrible reputation. While it’s true that these animals are incredibly powerful, it can’t be stressed enough that the only thing that makes a dog “bad” is if they have a bad human owner!

It really goes to show how loving dogs are, because even when they do have a bad owner who does everything they can to make their dogs fighting machines, they can be brought back and softened up a bit with some good old-fashioned TLC.

These beautiful pit bulls are all rescue dogs. Evan, the biggest, was actually being trained and beaten by horrible humans who had big plans for him to be a top fighter in an illegal dogfighting ring. He was actually a survivor of one of the largest police raids in the history of the United States.

Evan was actually one survivor of 367 other poor dogs who were being bred and trained to fight their own. But even though he was trained to be vicious and bloodthirsty by bad humans, with a little bit of love, he’s finally learned to trust humans again. And alongside his adopted siblings Ivy, Emmett, and Penelope the dachshund, we’re sure that this family will be together for good!

Please SHARE this adorable video if you believe that there aren’t “bad dogs,” only bad humans who make dogs bad! Treat dogs with love, and you’ll have a good dog.

He Has Been A Police Officer Since 1988. After 28 Years, He Finally Hears THIS On The Radio.

Police Sergeant Retires After 28 Years In Tear-Jerking Clip

ince the late 80s, Douglas Hogate, Sr. has served as a police officer in Salem City, New Jersey. In 2014, his dream came true when he was promoted to Sergeant. He told NJ.com, “I’ve never wanted to be chief, never even wanted to be lieutenant,” he said. “I love being on the road and always wanted to be a road sergeant. Now, with all the patience I’ve had, it’s finally here.”

But recently, after 28 years of dedicating his life to the job, Sgt. Hogate retired. In the touching video below, watch the incredible moment he officially signs off the air at the end of his last shift — calling in his final Code 3.

“It is with great pleasure to announce that as of today, March 24, 2016 at 1800 hours, after 28 years of service, Salem City Police Sgt. Douglas Hogate Sr., Badge #612, is retiring and has given his final Code 3. The Salem County 9-1-1 Center would like to wish Sgt. Hogate a Happy Retirement & wish him all the best!”

The most heartwarming thing about this moment is that Douglas Hogate Jr. — his own son — is the voice on the other end of the radio. For nine years, he has been a dispatcher at Salem County Dispatch Center. I can’t think of a better send-off than this. His son must be so proud to walk in his dad’s shoes.

Please enjoy this wonderful moment, and SHARE it with your friends on Facebook!
