Woman Helps Single Dad at Store, Sees Bracelet She Buried with Her Child on His Daughter
Linette’s routine trip to the grocery store took a shocking turn when she saw a young girl wearing a silver bracelet she had buried with her daughter five years ago. The discovery unearthed painful memories and led Linette to confront a dark chapter of her past.
While helping a struggling father in the cereal aisle, Linette noticed the bracelet on his daughter’s wrist. Her heart stopped as she recognized it immediately. “It was the same bracelet I had buried with Emily,” Linette realized in disbelief.
Haunted by the sight, Linette uncovered a scandal involving the funeral home director, Harold Simmons, who had been fired for mishandling services and allegedly selling funeral mementos, including her daughter’s bracelet.
Determined to seek justice, Linette reached out to Bob Daniels, the father she met in the grocery store. He was sympathetic, apologizing for what she had gone through and offering to help. “It wasn’t just about the bracelet but about seeking justice for the betrayal of trust,” Bob explained.
Together, they built a case against the funeral home. The court ruled in their favor, bringing Linette a sense of peace. In the end, what started as a painful discovery became a path to healing and a new beginning, with Linette finding hope in the bond she formed with Bob and his daughter, Emma.
Ashley Graham Explains Why She Stopped Breastfeeding Her 5-Month-Old Twins
Ashley Graham is one of the most relatable models and public figures out there. After becoming the first-ever plus-size model to be featured on the cover of Sports Illustrated, she has made it her mission to spread the body positivity message. And since Graham is keeping it real in every aspect of her life, she also held nothing back throughout her pregnancies, showing what it really takes to be a mom.
Being a mom to a boy and 2 twins, Graham is spreading a message that every mom has a right to choose whether breastfeeding is right for them, regardless of society’s expectations.
In a recent interview, Graham got candid about the consequences of being pregnant that every woman goes through but prefers to not be too vocal about. The model said she also considered keeping some things to herself, admitting, “Especially with how your body is changing when you’re pregnant, and stretchmarks, and the saggy skin, formula, breastfeeding. Cause there’s also this whole thing with people telling you how to feed your child.”
Ashley proceeded to explain her experience with breastfeeding: “With my first kid, I was like, ’I can only breastfeed! This is the right way!’ Then I had the twins, and I was like, ’I’m not doing this. This is not working here. Both of you want both of these? This is a lot of work.’ So I stopped breastfeeding when they were 5 months, and I gave them the best formula that I could find… And these little guys are so strong and so happy.”
Ultimately, Graham believes it’s up to every mom to decide between formula or breastfeeding based on their personal experience. She drove her point home, saying, “I don’t think we should be telling people how we should be feeding our kids.”
The model then became even more relatable, sharing her physical struggles after giving birth. She said, “Your body just fills up with nutrition, and the baby sucks it out of you. And then the baby comes out and all of a sudden you’re just fully depleted of everything, so your hair falls out, you get acne, I mean, the weight doesn’t come off.”
Graham explained her candidness, saying, “I like to represent myself as someone who’s just happy with who I am. And I had a journey, like, it is a journey, body confidence, being okay with who you are is a journey… I don’t ever want to lie.” And we’re all grateful for the model sharing her experiences with us, as it makes mothers around the world feel seen and heard.
