One man pulls off the ultimate surprise when he proposes to the nurse that previously helped save his life.
37-year-old Damien LeRoy broke multiple bones in his body, including his back and femur when he fell 150 feet during a paragliding accident. He was severely injured from the fall and rushed to St. Mary’s Medical Center in West Palm Beach Florida.
After nearly losing his life, Damien was nursed back to health by a team of doctors, including nurse Alexandra Hoover. Damien said, “She was just the sweetest person and she cared so much.” He even jokingly asked her if she had a boyfriend during his hospital stay. At the time, Alexandra was seeing someone, but a year later they broke up. That’s when she started dating Damien and their love story unfolded.
When it came time to propose, Damien decided to pull off the big event in the place they first met, the hospital. So, he pretended to be a patient under a blanket while Alexandra was coming into the room to do her rounds. That’s when he popped up from the bed and got down on one knee. Alexandra was visibly shocked. “A hundred things ran through my mind and I couldn’t believe I was seeing him.” She enthusiastically said ‘yes’ and the two embraced.
Looking back on the moment and their meeting, Damien knew everything happened for a purpose. “I was for sure given a second chance in life and for sure I was put there for some reason. Now, I know and now we get to share the rest of our lives together. “ God bless this couple and their marriage.

Viral sensation Kodi Lee sings a talented rendition of ‘Against All Odds’ from Phil Collins.
We first met 22-year-old Kodi when he appeared as a contestant on America’s Got Talent in early 2019. Kodi is blind with Autism. Before his audition, we learned his touching backstory. Music completely changed Kodi’s life and it gave him an outlet to feel safe and confident. With his mother by his side, Kodi belted out an emotional performance of ‘A Song For You.’
Every judge and audience member was on their feet cheering and judge Gabrielle Union was moved to press her golden buzzer. But that was just beginning for Kodi Lee. Once his performance was posted online, he quickly became an Internet superstar with everyone talking about his wow-worthy song.
Today, we’re taking a look back at some of Kodi’s first performances. Just listen as this talented young man sings the classic Phil Collins’ song ‘Against All Odds.’
“So take a look at me now
Well there's just an empty space
And there's nothing left here to remind me
Just the memory of your face
Ooh, take a look at me now
Well there's just an empty space
And you coming back to me is against the odds
And that's what I've got to face”
Kodi has so much talent and passion in every single note. This inspiring young man is full of positivity and an incredible vocal ability to back it all up. I think Kodi Lee is going to be a name that we hear for a long time.

One school bus driver from Dallas, Texas goes above and beyond his job description to create such a special community with him and his students.
Curtis Jenkins wakes up early each day to drive his young passengers to Lake Highlands Elementary. He motivates them, encourages them, and gets to know each and every one of the kids that ride his bus.
“He goes way beyond the outline responsibilities and duties of a bus driver,” says Emily Gruninger, the principle at Lake Highlands Elementary. “That bus is like a family.”
When asked about their bus driver, a young boy talks about how much Curtis cares for the students. Another girl on the bus says how kind he is to everyone.
Curtis makes sure to instill these values in the young individuals that ride his bus each day.
“We’re going to care about each other and we’re going to love everybody, right?” Curtis says this to the kids on his bus over the loudspeaker.
“These are my children. This is my community,” explains Curtis. “I love them all.”
One way that Curtis creates community on his bus and empowers the students that ride it is by giving each child a responsibility. The roles that they have help them work together and build stronger bonds with one another. They see each other as a team, with Curtis pouring into each one of them.
“I put time, effort, love, care, and understanding into each and every one of those kids,” Cutis says.
He truly loves his job and it shows! And he is impacting so many children with his kindness. One 5th grader named Ethan says that his bus ride with Curtis is often the best part of his day.
“He helps anyone in need,” Ethan shares. He also talks about how Curtis has been there for him in his time of need. “My mom got divorced when I was only 4. He’s the father that I always wanted.”
Cutis also gives out presents to his kids throughout the year. He personally selects each gift out that specifically caters to each child’s interests. For one girl, he gave her a t-shirt that had a picture on it from a book that she made.
“I’m hoping this t-shirt inspires her to keep on writing books,” says Curtis.
As he inspires the children on his bus, other adults that see his impact are inspired as well. Such a kind and giving heart, this bus driver has! And what a wonderful thing to see him motivating and teaching such great lessons to the next generation.

No one can tell them to leave their room without violating The Universal Law of Civility and therefore no one may force another out of their room. The account is capable of being upgraded and one would have access to any unoccupied room at their room level and be able to move freely when they choose. This alone would create a culture of respect as no one would ever have to remain in a place where they are unhappy or disrespected for any length of time.

The talented Emerald Belles dance teams kicks up a storm with their incredible synchronized audition on America’s Got Talent. The Emerald Belles are a popular Texas dance group comprised of 80 high school dancers. For decades, these talented performers have shared their skilled dance routines all over the world. The Emerald Belles have performed at halftime shows, on cruises and even at Walt Disney World. They became viral sensations when a video of their award-winning routine from the 2017 Crowd Pleasers Dance Area Competition was posted online. The Emerald Belles pulled out all the stops as they performed to “Sweet Dreams (Are Made Of This)” from the Eurythmics. Today, these talented ladies are bringing their unique style of dance to the America’s Got Talent stage. Ranging in age from fourteen to eighteen, these teens hope that their high-kick routine will be enough to win over the judges. From the very beginning, the dancers wow the audience with synchronized moves that almost appear like an optical illusion. Then, when they line up and start to kick, everyone went wild. After the routine, almost all the judges agreed that this act deserved to move on. Gabrielle Union said, “I would’ve told you guys you better bring it, but you brought it!” After a vote from the panel, and a ringing endorsement from Simon Cowell, the ladies earned a spot in the next round of competition. I’m definitely looking forward to what they come up with for their next routine. How about you?
63-year-old Adaline Bates earned her spot in the competition with her double duet of ‘Unforgettable’ on America’s Got Talent.
When she was just a teenager, Adaline belonged to a singing group with her sister and a few friends. But, after the group broke up, the singer put her own dreams aside to raise a family. Now, Adaline works as a vocal coach and a writer in Arizona.
Even though years have passed, this talented woman never gave up her dreams of performing on stage. Since her kids are grown, she decided this would be the perfect time to seize the opportunity of a lifetime. “Now, I’m on the front burner and it’s about me.” Today, she’s performing the classic Nat King Cole song ‘Unforgettble.’
“Unforgettable
In every way
And forever more
That's how you'll stay”
Adaline wanted to make sure that her audition stuck out in the minds of the judges. So, she decided to sing both the male and female parts of the famous duet. Just watch as she arrives on stage clad in a dress on one side and a suit on the other. Every time that she sings the male parts, Adaline would turn the suit to the audience. And she would show her dress when it was the female’s turn.
“That's why, darling, it's incredible
That someone so unforgettable
Thinks that I am
Unforgettable, too”
Note by note, this woman impressed the judges and audience. She easily earned four ‘yes’ votes to move on in the competition. Not only is Adaline a truly talented vocalist, but she proves that there is no age limit on your dreams.
