After pancreatic cancer tragically took the life of Saige Seibold's father on May 13th, 2015, she and her widowed mother, Sandy, decided to remember him in a beautiful way on Father's Day. The pair released a "#1 Dad" balloon with an attached letter at the site of his grave—and what happened afterwards will bring tears to your eyes.
The letter asked, "If you receive this [balloon], please make [Seibold's] day by sending a response telling her who and where you are from. Thank you in advance!"
"We thought the idea of the balloon, sending the balloon to heaven to her dad, was a good idea," Sandy told the NBC.
After a tricky ascent—​the balloon ribbons initially got caught in a power line—​a gust of wind blew the balloon and the note skywards. Seibold and her mother then left the cemetery to run some errands and return home, which was 25 miles away in Cement, OK.
But when the mother and daughter arrived to their house, Seibold discovered an unbelievable gift waiting for them. Tangled in the fence running along a pasture where she often worked with her father was the very same balloon and note she and her mother had just sent off. The message in her father's honor had flown straight home, the very same day.
Seibold​ explained, "I think we started crying because it was just like a message from him...It has given us a lot of peace."

When Jaxon Strong was born with half of his brain and skull missing, his doctors predicted that he'd have just days to live. But one year later, this little guy has truly defied the odds.  
"It's all been so overwhelming in a positive way because we can't go anywhere without someone stopping us, and saying, 'hey, what's your story?' or they would have seen his picture and say, 'hey, look it's Jax Strong!' – his nickname! It's truly incredible the amount of people he has had an impact on," Brittany said.

Christina Booth from Olympia, WA, is being held on $3 million dollar bail with three counts of attempted murder after stabbing her three young children.
According to the Daily Mail, Christina says her husband, Special Forces soldier Thomas Booth, doesn't help with the children and gets irritated when they make noise. When their six-month-old twins and two-year-old daughter started crying Sunday night, the mother slit their throats in an attempt to silence them.
"My babies won't calm down," Christina said in her 911 call to police after stabbing them. Later, her husband came on the phone and explained that the babies were bleeding and needed an ambulance.
During her interview with authorities, detectives wrote: "Christina said she knew if she killed all of

the kids, the house would be quiet for Thomas." The mother is on medication for postpartum depression.
The couple had inconsistent statements in their interviews, but it's expected that Thomas will not have any charges brought against him.
All the children are now in protective custody, and in stable condition at a local hospital.

Madeline Stuart, an 18-year-old Australian model with Down syndrome, first went viral earlier this year after her stunning photos were posted on Facebook. Since then, Stuart and her mom Rosanne have been fielding international modeling requests. Most recently, Stuart signed to walk in New York Fashion Week with MODA in association with the Christopher Reeve Foundation. She has also been working with handbag company EverMaya and will be the face of a new line of handbags (all named after her!) launching Friday. Rosanne spoke to Cosmopolitan.com about how her daughter's modeling is changing people's perceptions about intellectual disabilities and what Madeline's impact on the world will be.
Congratulations on New York Fashion Week! What a big deal.
Yes! There's a lot of big deals happening at the moment, it's ridiculous!
What was your first reaction to hearing the NYFW news?
When we were asked to do New York Fashion Week, it didn't surprise me. I don't think anything really surprises me anymore. She's been asked to do a lot of stuff and I was hoping to she'd get asked to do NYFW but I assumed it would happen. I hope that doesn't sound too pretentious.
No, that's so exciting. It is very exciting and it's going to take her from one level to the next. I know [American Horror Story actress who also has Down syndrome] Jamie Brewer did it in February, but she is a movie star, she's not a model. With Madeline, this is her career, so I think it's going to be a great platform for her.
When Madeline first went viral, she called Brewer an inspiration. Have they since met?
We did meet Jamie in L.A.
How was that?
It was great. She's a lovely young lady. She's very high-functioning, a lot higher functioning than Maddy. She's just beautiful. I don't think I've ever met someone with Down syndrome who isn't beautiful. They just have the most amazing personalities. She was so excited to meet Maddy; she'd been following her on Twitter for months. One of the first people to follow Madeline on Twitter was that supermodel Karlie Kloss. Isn't that amazing?
Maddy's social media accounts have grown exponentially since they were created in May. How do you explain that kind of growth?
There hadn't been anyone who chased this dream, whereas Madeline really chased it. She wanted this and she worked hard for it. I've done everything I can on the business end to get her to this stage. Now it's just her working her charm.
Do you also think the world was ready for someone like Madeline to be in the spotlight?
The world was ready. The world wants to be inclusive, it just hasn't had anyone on such a platform that they were able to do it easily. I remember when I was a child at school, people were homophobic and things like that, and now it's cool to be gay! Imagine in 10 years what society will be like for people with disabilities. It's not going to be how it is now, it's going to be the norm. It's probably going to be cool to hang out with someone who has an intellectual disability because you know that they care more about emotions than they do about the materialistic world. Everyone's going to want that friend to teach them what true love is.
Where do you most see enthusiasm for Maddy's work?
You can see it with Instagram. It's mainly young people and I see people putting on Madeline's Instagram "Madeline #HairGoals," "Madeline #RelationshipGoals," "Madeline #FigureGoals," "Madeline, oh my god, you're prettier than I am, fashion sense on cue or something like that." This is the next generation! These are young girls who are never going to grow up being discriminatory! When Maddy was born, I can remember walking around the street with people abusing me saying she should be in an institution, and that was 18 years ago!
How has the modeling affected your relationship? It's not about the modeling for me. It's about my daughter being happy. This is about showing the world how easy it is to talk to someone with an intellectual disability, how easy it is to walk up to someone and make them realize they're the same! Like she said to me a minute ago, "Mum, hug," and I jumped into bed and gave her a hug. I put down my work and gave her a hug because that's what she wanted in that moment and that's what I cherish. You don't always get those moments.

And you thought your morning commute was bad.

A Greek design company have created the answer to every London office worker’s prayers - a desk that has a bed inside it.
To the naked eye, the ingenious piece of furniture looks like your average nine-to-fiver’s desk, but pull down side panels and it reveals a cosy sleeping spot.
The end of the box folds out so you can lay comfortably with your head propped up - and the top of the desk still remains intact so others can continue working whilst you’re catching some shut eye below deck.

The nap desk was created by design studio, Studio NL, who told archilovers: "The main concept was to comment on the fact that many times our lives are “shrinking” in order to fit into the confined space of our office.

The bed is disguised within an unassuming office desk

"this desk could be used for a siesta or for a few hours of sleep at night on those days when someone struggles to meet deadlines."

Sadly the desk is just a prototype, but let's hope it comes to liberate Londoners who regularly work around the clock soon.

Hannah Combs, 15, was hanging out with her friends before the start of school on September 14th, when a boy in her class snuck up behind her and poured super glue on her head, soaking her hair and scalp.
"It instantly started burning," Hannah told the Killeen Daily Herald. "It felt like my head was on fire. It was horrible."
Hannah, a freshman at Harker Heights High School in Killeen, Texas, immediately went to the nurse's office . The assistant principal questioned her about the incident, but Hannah could barely speak through the pain. Meanwhile, the boy who attacked her was not spoken to by school officials or taken into custody until Hannah's father Christian Grimmer, a retired soldier, threatened to call 911.
Later that day, a doctor diagnosed Hannah with first-degree burns on her scalp. The hair on the right side of her head was matted and ruined, so she decided to shave it off.
"I realized I lost my favorite thing about me. I loved my hair," she said. "My hair was the only thing I liked about myself, honestly. I lost it for no reason."
The next day, she returned to school even though she was still in pain. During first period, she became anxious when she realized she'd have to encounter the bully who had poured the glue on her head during the second period class they shared, so she left school for the day. She later learned that he was given an in-school suspension for what he did, but she's run into him on campus since the incident, since they have mutual friends.
Hannah's parents have made multiple requests to Killeen Independent School District Superintendent John Craft for the boy to be transferred to another school within the district, but have not heard back directly from him.
"You would think the superintendent's priority would be school safety, but it is not any of his concern because he will not return any calls," Christian said.
However, the school district issued a statement explaining that they are committed to the safety of their students and have responded to the incident in accordance to state law, board policy, and code of conduct.
Although the school district's response to Hannah's traumatic experience have been underwhelming, the Internet has embraced her with open arms. Her mother Jessica wrote a Facebook post detailing the incident that changed her daughter's expectations for freshman year "dramatically." It struck a chord with basically everyone who has a heart, and soared to 12,000 likes and 90,000 shares in under a week. She also created a Facebook page titled "Justice for Hannah" to rally support.
Supportive comments have poured in from across the globe. Hannah's situation even caught the attention of a local hairstylist at The Salon in Harker Heights, who offered to cut and style her hair into a beautiful asymmetrical look for free.
No one should have to go through what Hannah did, but regardless of how long or short her hair is, she's a gorgeous girl with a loving family, the support of the Internet, and — most importantly, the strength to stand up for herself.
