Everyone enjoys a good brain teaser, and recently, a math puzzle has taken the internet by storm. Though it was initially designed for kids, it has captured the curiosity of people of all ages, sparking intense debates online. It all began on Reddit, where a seemingly straightforward question quickly transformed into a global conundrum.

Back in June 2023, a Reddit user from Jamaica, known as @yawdmontweet, posed a simple yet perplexing question:
“What is the closest time to midnight?”
The options given were:

A. 11:55 a.m.
B. 12:06 a.m.
C. 11:50 a.m.
D. 12:03 a.m.

What seemed like a clear-cut question soon spiraled into a viral discussion, garnering over 1.4 million views and countless comments. The key phrase, “closest time to,” left room for varied interpretations, turning this puzzle into a hot topic for debate.

The Popular Consensus: Option D (12:03 a.m.)

Most Reddit users leaned toward option D (12:03 a.m.) as the closest time to midnight. The reasoning was straightforward: 12:03 a.m. is just three minutes past midnight, making it the nearest time after the stroke of midnight.

However, not everyone agreed. Some argued that the wording of the question—specifically, the difference between “closest time to” versus “closest time until”—could change the answer entirely. For example, if interpreted as the closest time to the next midnight, then option A (11:55 a.m.) could be a valid answer, as it’s just minutes away from the approaching midnight in the evening.

Looking at It from Different Angles

The debate became even more interesting when people started analyzing the puzzle from creative perspectives. Some thought the term “midnight” itself could influence the answer. They argued that option A (11:55 a.m.) is closer to the next midnight on the same day, which might make it more aligned with the idea of “approaching midnight.”

Others pointed out that option B (12:06 a.m.), although slightly farther from midnight than 12:03 a.m., is still relatively close, making it another contender. Meanwhile, option C (11:50 a.m.) was mostly dismissed because it was considered too far from either midnight.

Artificial Intelligence Weighs In

Amid the online frenzy, some people turned to AI for a definitive answer. ChatGPT, a popular AI chatbot, confidently declared that D (12:03 a.m.) was the correct answer. This added fuel to the debate, with many agreeing that AI’s logic was sound, as it focused on the closest time immediately after midnight.

Weighing the Pros and Cons of Each Option

To break it down further, here’s a quick analysis of each choice:

Option A: 11:55 a.m.
Pros: Closest to the next midnight later that day.
Cons: Not the closest immediately after midnight.
Option B: 12:06 a.m.
Pros: Only six minutes past midnight, which is relatively close.
Cons: Slightly farther from midnight than 12:03 a.m.
Option C: 11:50 a.m.
Pros: Before noon, indicating it’s closer to the upcoming midnight.
Cons: Farther from midnight compared to the options immediately after.
Option D: 12:03 a.m.
Pros: Just three minutes past midnight, making it the closest time directly following midnight.
Cons: None, as it aligns well with the concept of the time immediately after midnight.
A Puzzle That Challenges Our Thinking

This math puzzle isn’t just about figuring out the closest time to midnight; it’s also a fascinating exploration of how our minds work. It challenges us to think critically, consider different perspectives, and engage in lively discussions. Whether you lean toward option D for its proximity just after midnight or find the arguments for option A more convincing, this puzzle highlights how interpretation can shift depending on one’s perspective.

Ultimately, the beauty of this puzzle lies in its ability to provoke thought and debate. It’s not just a test of math skills but also a reflection of how we approach problem-solving.

So, which option do you think is correct? Is it as simple as choosing the closest time after midnight, or is there more to it depending on how you interpret the question? Dive into the discussion, and see where your logic takes you in this viral brain teaser!

Princess Diana was loved all over the world. She was down-to-earth, funny, a caring mother and a wonderful role model for many.

The tragic car accident in Paris that ended Diana’s life became a moment no one will ever forget. Diana was mourned all over the world, and her legacy will last forever.

But what really happened that night in Paris? And what were her injuries? Now, surgeon MonSef Dahman, who tried to save Diana’s life on that horrible night, has spoken out for the first time.

Diana’s passing was a shock to an entire nation, and her sons, William and Harry, were left without a mother. The terrible car crash and the potential cause of it have been discussed and debated many times. However, one person who found himself in the middle of the tragedy has now stepped forward.

Princess Diana – Surgeon MonSef Dahman
Surgeon MonSef Dahman was working at a hospital in Paris at the time – and it was he who was charged with trying to keep Diana alive.

In a new interview with Daily Mail, he’s told the entire story of what really happened.

“The thought that you have lost an important person, for whom you cared personally, marks you for life,” he told the British news outlet.

To begin with, Dahman wasn’t even supposed to have worked that night. As a young duty general surgeon at the biggest hospital in France, his wife was pregnant at the time. They were due to go on holiday, away from Paris, but since his wife was pregnant with the couple’s second child, they decided to stay.

As a result, Dahman worked all summer. Since he was a junior doctor, the shifts were very long. And this particular weekend, he started working at 8am, but was still on duty at 2am the following morning.

Dahman recalled it being a “pretty easy” day. He was able to take some moments of rest, and hadn’t been asked to perform any difficult procedures.

Princess Diana
But at 2am in the morning, everything changed dramatically.

Didn’t know it was Princess Diana
At approximately 12.23am, the car that Diana was travelling in crashed in a Parisian tunnel. She received lengthy treatment by doctors at the scene, but suffered cardiac arrest while in the ambulance.

By six minutes past two in the morning, Diana had reached the hospital.

“I was resting in the duty room when I got a call from Bruno Riou, the senior duty anaesthetist, telling me to go to the emergency room,” Dahman told Daily Mail. “I wasn’t told it was Lady Diana, but [only] that there’d been a serious accident involving a young woman.”

Dahman was 33 years of age at the time. When he arrived from the rest room, located about 50 meters from the emergency department, he understood how serious things were.

And as he walked into the room, he was informed that the person laying on the stretcher was Princess Diana.

“It only took that moment for all this unusual activity to become clear to me,’ he recalled.

“For any doctor, any surgeon, it is of very great importance to be faced with such a young woman who is in this condition. But of course even more so if she is a princess.”

Upon Diana’s arrival at the hospital, she underwent an X-ray that revealed she had suffered serious internal injuries. She immediately received a blood transfusion.

Her heart would not restart
Just 15 minutes after arriving, Diana suffered another cardiac arrest. Dahman performed a surgical procedure, but the Princess’s injuries were too grave.

Her heart simply would not restart.

“We tried electric shocks, several times and, as I had done in the emergency room, cardiac massage,” Dahman explained. “Professor Riou had administered adrenaline. But we could not get her heart beating again.”

Dahman and his medical team fought to keep Diana alive. But in the end, there wasn’t much they could do. He explained that the hospital – Pitié-Salpêtrière – was one of the best centers in the whole of France for these types of emergencies, and saving people who have been brought in made him “happy and proud”.

In Diana’s case, he felt hope at the beginning. But ultimately, they couldn’t save her.

“We fought hard, we tried a lot, really an awful lot,” he said. “Frankly, when you are working in those conditions, you don’t notice the passage of time. The only thing that is important is that we do everything possible for this young woman.”

“We could not save her. And that affected us very much.”

Princess Diana
Recalls it like it was yesterday
Every year as August approaches, MonSef Dahman – who now works as a surgeon in the French town of Antibes – thinks about that terrible night at the hospital in 1997. He, just like millions of people around the world, watched the funeral. It was a terrible tragedy.

“I don’t go back to it all the time because a lot of years have gone by,” he told Daily Mail. “But every time a new book [about Diana’s death] has come out [in France], it has been sent to me. So I have a collection of such books, unfortunately.”

In the following days, he witnessed a distressing and embarrassing scene unfold. Members of the media attempted to infiltrate the hospital’s wards and hallways to get close to those involved in Diana’s treatment.

“Pitié-Salpêtrière is a public hospital,” he explains. “The Princess was treated in a building where there were other hospital patients. We saw people disguising themselves [as medical staff], pushing trolleys, trying to get information. There was quite a lot of pressure on our security.”

Diana funeral
Princess Diana is still loved by people all around the world, as her spirit and legacy lives on.

In a 90-minute-documentary from 2021, as reported by Express, new revelations about Princess Diana’s last days came to light. Journalist and royal expert Richard Kay appears in the documentary – he revealed that he was the last person who spoke to Diana before the tragic car crash.

“I spoke to her that night. The police said that the last call she made was to me,” Kay recalled.

One year before her passing, Diana and Prince Charles finally divorced. Certain reports now insist that Diana was afraid the Queen and Charles were plotting to separate her from Harry and William. This comes according biographer Howard Hodgson, author of the 2007 book Charles: The Man Who Will Be King.

“She was well aware that the Queen had the constitutional right and authority under common law to take control of both boys’ care and education,” Hodgson wrote.

“As such she could become the boys’ guardian or even appoint one: this would probably be their father and that might lead to Diana’s exclusion if she finally burned all her bridges with the Royal Family.”

After the split from Prince Charles, Richard Kay said that he felt that Diana was in “quite a good place”. She was starting a new chapter in her life, when suddenly everything was taken away from her and her children.

“She was desperate to try and make a fresh start and do something different, to explore a different kind of Royalty,” Kay said. “And she wanted to come back and see her boys.”

“The most mourned person who ever lived”
The documentary from 2021, about Princess Diana, celebrated her “remarkable life”. According to Executive Producer David Glover, the documentary came at the “perfect time to re-examine her life and legacy”.

“There is something a bit magical about Princess Diana – and despite the difficulties in her personal life she managed to use her connection with people to do huge amounts of good,” Glover said.

“Her 60th birthday feels like the perfect time to re-examine her life and legacy and explore just how she went from a relatively unknown teenager to the most mourned person who ever lived.”

In 2017, Harry and William announced the unveiling of a new statue of their mother. On July 1, the statue is to be unveiled in the Sunken Garden at Kensington Palace.

Meghan Markle
Latest reports state that Harry will attend his mother’s statue unveiling, though Meghan Markle won’t be there. Instead, she will stay at the couple’s Montecito home to take care of their newborn baby, as reported by Harper’s Bazaar.

“Meghan has just had a baby and has no plans to travel to London for the memorial event planned for the statue unveiling,” another source revealed to Entertainment Tonight.

Harry & William on their mother
In 2017, on the 20th anniversary of Diana’s passing, Harry and William got together and talked about their mother.

“When everybody says ‘she was funny, give us an example’. All I can hear is her laugh,” Harry explained.

“She was one of the naughtiest parents, she’d come and watch us play football and smuggle sweet into her socks, literally walking back from a football match and having five packages of [candy]. And just, the whole shirt was full with sweets.”

“We felt incredibly loved by her, and I’m very grateful that the love still feels there,” William said. ”It feels like a good time to remember her and hopefully provide a different side.

”It was that love, even though she was on the other side of the room, as her son you could feel it,” Harry added.

Growing up within the Royal Family must be a very special thing. Sure, there will never be a shortage of money, but at the same time, it’s a life about duties and responsibilities.

Harry and William
New Princess Diana letters revealed
Just how much of a ‘normal’ childhood William and Harry had with their mother is hard to tell. But recently, an old letter written by Princess Diana surfaced.

In the letter, we get a very short, but beautiful glimpse of what William and Harry’s childhood was like. Not only that, but also the very special childhood bond between the two.

The letter from Diana was written in March of 1985, just six months after the birth of her youngest son, Harry.

“William adores his little brother and spends the entire time swamping Harry with an endless supply of hugs and kisses, hardly letting the parents near!” Diana’s handwritten letter states, as reported by The Sun.

Written to a former steward at Buckingham Palace, Cyril Dickman, the letter was sold at auction in Cambridge in 2017.

In other letters, Princess Diana revealed how a then-older Prince Harry was “constantly in trouble” at school. Further, she also wrote about the joy of being a mother, as well as describing the “difficult period” in her life that was to follow.

Took William and Harry out for fast food
Princess Diana oftentimes took William and Harry to theme parks and other fun venues. But she also knew what royal life entailed, including the fact that they had meals served at all times.

She knew the importance of William and Harry being just as any other child, even though they were royals. With this in mind, she would sneak them out of the palace to go and get fast food on occasion.

“I remember the princess came into the kitchen one day and said, ‘Cancel lunch for the boys, I’m taking them out, we’re going to McDonald’s,” Diana’s former personal chef Darren McGrady told Marie Claire.

“And I said, ‘Oh my God – your Royal Highness, I can do that, I can do burgers.’ And she said, ‘No, it’s the toy they want.’”

Princess Diana will forever be in our hearts. Thank you, MonSef Dahman and the rest of the medical team for doing everything you could to save Diana’s life. You and all medical workers are heroes in our eyes.

Kai Trump, the 17-year-old granddaughter of Donald Trump, has been making headlines for her unique bond with her famous grandfather and her impressive journey in golf. As the eldest grandchild in the Trump family, Kai has recently stepped into the spotlight, showing the world that she’s not just part of a prominent family but also a talented and driven young woman with a bright future ahead.

Kai was born on May 12, 2007, to Donald Trump Jr. and his ex-wife, Vanessa, in New York City. Named after her maternal grandfather, Danish jazz musician Kai Ewans, she arrived two weeks early at a charity event, making quite the dramatic entrance into the world.

Growing up in New York, Kai spent much of her early years with her family and her uncle Barron Trump, who is close in age. These formative years were marked by family traditions and a strong bond with her grandparents, particularly Donald Trump.

Despite being part of one of America’s most high-profile families, Kai managed to maintain a relatively low profile during her childhood. It wasn’t until Donald Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign that she began appearing in official family photos.

However, it wasn’t until 2024 that Kai truly stepped into the public eye, delivering a heartfelt speech at the Republican National Convention.

In her speech, she described her grandfather as a “normal grandpa” who sneaks her candy, checks in on her school progress, and proudly shares her accomplishments, such as her high honor roll, with his friends.

The RMS Titanic’s tragic sinking on April 15, 1912, continues to captivate the world more than a century later.

On its maiden voyage from Southampton to New York, the “unsinkable” ship struck an iceberg, leading to the deaths of over 1,500 passengers and crew.

Despite the catastrophic loss of life, one unsettling mystery has persisted — why were there so few bodies recovered from the wreckage, even though more than 1,500 people perished?

The discovery of Titanic’s wreckage
After decades of searching, the wreckage of the Titanic was discovered on September 1, 1985, more than 12,000 feet beneath the Atlantic Ocean.

After decades of speculation and attempts to locate it, an expedition finally succeeded in uncovering its location at the staggering depth.

It may seem strange that it took so long to find the wreck, but the problem wasn’t that its location was completely unknown — it was more about pinpointing its exact resting place.

Deep-sea explorer Robert Ballard spent eight days searching before successfully locating the R.M.S. Titanic, about 400 miles off the coast of Newfoundland, Canada. He was able to pinpoint the wreckage using his method of following debris—a technique he had first employed when discovering the Scorpion, a nuclear submarine that sank in 1968.

Ballard has previously spoken about the moment he saw the old ocean liner resting on the ocean floor.

”We made a promise to never take anything from that ship, and to treat it with great respect,” he told CBS News.

But since then, expedition teams have recovered hundreds of artifacts, offering us a glimpse into the past — pieces of furniture, dinnerware, and personal belongings belonging to those who never made it off the ship. However, it became clear how poorly preserved some artifacts were when the first major expedition to recover items from the Titanic began in 1987.

Where did all the bodies go?
The wreck itself was found split in two, with the bow more intact, showing interiors was still remarkably preserved after over 70 years underwater. Around the wreckage, a massive debris field stretching 5 by 3 miles was discovered, with thousands of objects scattered across the ocean floor.

But something startling was missing: the bodies of the victims.

The absence of human remains is something that has puzzled historians and explorers alike.

While shoes, boots, and other personal items have been found in the debris, there are very few human remains to speak of. Out of the 337 bodies recovered, 119 were buried at sea, while 209 were returned to Halifax.

“I’ve seen zero human remains,” James Cameron, director of Titanic, who has visited and explored the wreck 33 times and claims to have spent more time on the ship than its captain, told the New York Times in 2012. “We’ve seen clothing. We’ve seen pairs of shoes, which would strongly suggest there was a body there at one point. But we’ve never seen any human remains.”

So, what happened to the many bodies?

The truth seems to lie in the fact that the Titanic wreckage lies deep in the ocean—far deeper than most people realize. At depths of over 12,000 feet, the water temperature hovers just above freezing, and the pressure is immense.

Over time, these conditions have led to the bodies being consumed by bacteria and sea creatures. The only remains that seem to survive are items like shoes and boots, as these materials are not edible to marine life.

The role of seawater in the disappearance of bones
But the absence of skeletons isn’t just about sea creatures.

Robert Ballard, the deep-sea explorer who first discovered the Titanic wreck, explains that at these depths, the seawater actually has the ability to dissolve bones. The water is under-saturated in calcium carbonate, which is a key component of bones. As the soft tissue is consumed, the bones themselves slowly dissolve, leaving no trace behind.

Ballard even noted a stark contrast with the Black Sea, where no such critters exist to devour bodies, and where the bones are preserved in a mummified state due to the lack of marine life to break them down.

“The issue you have to deal with is, at depth below about 3,000 feet [914 meters], you pass below what’s called the calcium carbonate compensation depth,” deep-sea explorer Robert Ballard told NPR.

”And the water in the deep sea is under saturated in calcium carbonate, which is mostly, you know, what bones are made of. For example, on the Titanic and on the Bismarck, those ships are below the calcium carbonate compensation depth, so once the critters eat their flesh and expose the bones, the bones dissolve.”

The eerie reality
The discovery of the wreck and its surrounding debris field has always sparked a mix of awe and horror.

People who have learned about the disappearance of the Titanic’s bodies have shared their thoughts online, with many calling it “horrifying” or “eerie” to think about the thousands of lives lost and how nature has ultimately taken its course.

But amid this chilling reality, some find a strange comfort in knowing that the bodies were reclaimed by nature in its own way.

In the words of one commenter, ”The only comfort is that those victims were given back to nature the only way Mother Nature knows how.”

The Titanic’s slow decay
Since its discovery, the Titanic has been visited numerous times by scientists and explorers, and many of the items recovered have been put on display for public viewing.

Yet the wreck itself has not been preserved in pristine condition.

Over the years, submersible expeditions have accidentally caused damage to the ship, and a bacteria that feeds on iron has been slowly eating away at its hull. Scientists predict that within the next 50 years, the Titanic’s structure may collapse completely, leaving nothing behind but rust and the remnants of its resilient interior.

A tragic end to a tourist mission
In 2023, the wreckage became the setting for an even more modern tragedy.

The Titan submersible, operated by OceanGate to give tourists a glimpse of the Titanic’s final resting place, tragically imploded during its descent, claiming the lives of all six people inside the sub.

Onboard was the pilot Stockton Rush, co-founder of OceanGate, co-pilot Paul-Henri Nargeolet, a Titanic expert, and three tourists, Shahzada Dawood and his 19-year-old son Suleman Dawood, both members of a wealthy Pakistani business family, and Hamish Harding, a British businessman and adventurer.

The mystery of the Titanic’s missing bodies is a haunting one, but it serves as a reminder of the brutal forces of nature and the profound loss that still lingers in the depths of the Atlantic.

Julia Wendell, a 23-year-old Polish woman, made headlines worldwide in 2023 after claiming she was Madeleine McCann — the British girl who mysteriously vanished from a Portuguese resort in 2007.

Her shocking allegations sparked massive controversy, with many dismissing her claims as a hoax.

But now, the case has taken another dramatic turn.

Using the social media handle @IamMadeleineMcCann, Julia pleaded for help, specifically asking to speak with Maddie’s parents, Kate and Gerry McCann.

She pointed to supposed physical similarities as proof and even appeared on Dr. Phil to share her story. However, after facing intense backlash — including death threats — she later retracted her claims and apologized to the McCanns.

Julia explained that during therapy she realized the memories of her childhood were patchy, which led her to wonder if she had been adopted. When she asked her family members, though, they dismissed her claims, after which Julia began trawling missing persons websites.

“I never meant to hurt anyone – including [the] McCanns,” Julia explained. “I really wanted to know who I am.”

She added that things would have played out differently if she had a chance to do it again. “I would never go on social media. It can destroy you.”

DNA test results shake things up
But now, the case surrounding Julia Wendell, also known as Julia Faustyna or Julia Wandelt, has taken yet another turn.

According to Daily Mail, the 23-year-old claims she has taken a DNA test, with the results reportedly examined by a “world-renowned expert” who compared them to DNA from the crime scene of Madeleine McCann’s 2007 disappearance in Portugal.

This unnamed expert allegedly concluded that the results “strongly suggest” Gerry McCann could be her father. She has also taken to her new social media account to share the ”results” of this latest DNA test, which she claims Kate and Gerry McCann refused to participate in.

Adding to the controversy, the unnamed expert allegedly concluded that Julia’s DNA is a ”perfect match” with samples taken from the holiday apartment where Madeleine McCann disappeared in 2007.

Beyond the DNA results, she also alleges that experts examined her eyes, teeth, and voice, comparing them to those of Madeleine—the 3-year-old who disappeared from her bed in Praia da Luz on the night of May 3, nearly 18 years ago.

Dr. Monte Miller, a forensic expert from Loma Linda University in California, analyzed the findings.

“The simple answer is that the suspect is not the definitive source of the DNA in the evidence,” Dr. Miller told Metro.

“However, the match is stronger than what I would expect from pure coincidence, and there is a specific pattern that suggests an almost certain family connection.”

McCann and Wendell Families Refuse DNA Testing
Despite the shocking results, neither Julia’s Polish parents nor the McCanns are willing to take a DNA test to settle the matter once and for all.

This latest announcement contradicts the earlier statements made by private investigator Dr. Fia Johansson, who in 2023 revealed Ms. Wandelt’s DNA results, which confirmed that she was, in fact, fully Polish. Julia’s parents insist she is their biological daughter and has no relation to the missing British girl.

Madeleine McCann’s disappearance remains one of the world’s most infamous unsolved cases. Madeleine’s parents, Kate and Gerry McCann, have always maintained that she was abducted after they left her and her siblings alone in their holiday apartment in Praia da Luz, Portugal to have a meal at a restaurant close by.

Dr. Viktor Ivanovik, a Moldovan doctor with more than 1 million TikTok followers, has sparked a significant conversation with his recent viral video discussing the dangers of kissing deceased loved ones during farewells. His message is clear and urgent: “Never kiss the deceased!”

Kissing Deceased People
Ivanovik explains that around nine hours after death, the body begins to decompose, which leads to the release of bacteria that could cause health problems. He warns that kissing deceased people person may result in the loss of smell due to exposure to these bacteria.

Kissing Deceased People
The video has sparked a range of reactions. Some viewers expressed gratitude for the health advice, admitting they had never considered the risks. However, others were more emotionally driven, reflecting on their connections. One commenter shared, “I kissed my father and would do it again a million times! Losing my sense of taste or smell doesn’t matter—he’s my father!”

Ivanovik’s message serves as a reminder to weigh cultural customs against health risks. His video showcases the power of social media in shedding light on crucial, yet often ignored, health concerns.

Approximately one in every five couples will, at some time in their lives, experience difficulties conceiving.

For many, it’s an extremely difficult and stressful time – but, as others will testify, patience and determination may pay off.

Desiree and Ryan Fortin waited patiently for many years before, eventually, the couple turned to in-vitro fertilization. They prayed to God that it would help them get pregnant.

Not long after the IVF treatment, they finally got the message that Desiree was pregnant. But the couple could never prepare for what was in her stomach …

College sweethearts Desiree and Ryan Fortin have been happily married since 2009, but there was one thing that didn’t really work – for a long time they had struggled to conceive.

Doctors diagnosed Desiree with polycystic ovarian syndrome, hypothyroid, and low progesterone – so she and her husband tried for three long and painful years before finally turning to in-vitro fertilization.

But instead of getting positive pregnancy tests, Desiree got her period over and over again. It was a mentally draining endeavor.

“It wasn’t just that I couldn’t get pregnant,” she wrote of those difficult years.

“[Infertility] brought me more tears than I ever thought I could shed…. I lay on my bathroom floor in complete emptiness after countless negative pregnancy tests time and time again. I had to endure shots, bruises, and all kinds of meds because when you are infertile and you seek fertility treatment for help, that is what you are in for. [It is] expensive and exhausting physically, emotionally, and mentally.”

So you can understand that Desiree and Ryan were ecstatic the moment they were finally told their first IVF treatment had worked.

And when they saw the ultrasound they couldn’t believe there was not one but three babies growing! It turned out that the couple were expecting triplets – talk about success!

But the struggle wasn’t over for Desiree and her family.

Although she finally had finally fallen pregnant, doctors warned her that she wouldn’t be able to carry all the triplets to term.’

“I was too thin, too short, and it was my first pregnancy,” she recalls being told. “However, my hope wounds proved her wrong.”

The Fortin triplets were born in the summer of 2015. Desiree delivered at 34 weeks and one day, via C-section.

The couple were over the moon to welcome babies Sawyer, Jack, and Charlize – weighing more than 5 pounds each.

”I’ll never forget my delivery day. Like all things involving parenthood, there were unexpected turns. After the triplets were delivered, Ryan went with them to the neonatal intensive care unit and I was sent to recovery‚” Desiree told Today.

Desiree had some complications and bleeding, requiring emergency surgery, so she wasn’t able to see her precious kids right away.

But Ryan FaceTimed with her so that the new mom could see her little miracles. After two weeks in the NICU unit, all three babies were able to come home and start their lives.

Settling at home with three babies was a huge gift for Ryan and Desiree.

”We are blessed, but parenting is also a hard job filled with the greatest of responsibilities — caring for tiny humans. Our babies have severe reflux and colic — times three. Getting into a routine is difficult, as is maintaining your relationship amid crying babies, sleepless nights and a new routine,” Desiree said.

Today, the triplets are 7 years old and the whole family seems to do great.

You can follow their life and adventures on Desiree’s Instagram page, where she’s got 150K followers.

”I never imagined God would use our story to reach so many people. It has been an incredible experience,” she says.

There, she’s also revealed that she and Ryan are expecting again! So soon this beautiful family will soon be six!

Thank you for sharing your story and your life Desiree, I really hope it can help other couples who are having a hard time and are struggling with infertility!

Amanda and the women at her book club quickly judged a pregnant 50-year-old woman without knowing the entire story. It was only when they learned the true nature of her pregnancy that they regretted their actions.Amanda was in her 60s and was happily

single. She never married, nor did she have any children. To keep herself busy, she hosts the weekly neighborhood book club in her house, where women who lived in the area would gather every Saturday. Amanda only ever got along with the people in her book

club through the years. She loved order, so every time a neighbor’s child would break a flower pot or dirty her side of the street, she would get angry. Because of this, the children were afraid of Amanda.

They steered clear of her front yard and never offered her any baked goods and juices they sold every summer, which other neighbors happily supported. One day, Amanda went to the grocery store. There, she met Jane, a 50-year-old neighbor whom she hadn’t spoken to. Jane was at one of the aisles, looking at junk food. “We shouldn’t be eating that kind of junk now that we’re older,” Amanda told her. Jane politely smiled and told her that her

household always had chips available at home for their guests. Amanda shook her head and told her which ones to buy. “Then at least go for the organic ones,” she said, pointing at those she thought were better.Amanda always thought she knew best, and the entire neighborhood knew it. So instead of arguing with her to mind her own business, Jane thanked her for her suggestions.Coincidentally, Amanda and Jane met again at the checkout counter. There, Amanda decided to invite Jane to their book club. “You must get bored on the weekends. You should join our book club,” she said, handing out a flyer.

Jane smiled and accepted. “Sure. I’ll see you on Saturday,” she said as she took her grocery bags and left the store. Amanda was pleased that she had recruited another member to their club. That weekend, Jane showed up. The routine at the book club would always be the same: they’d talk about a book for an hour, eat sandwiches and drink tea for another hour, and chatter the night away.Jane showed up for another two weeks before she started to be absent. Amanda couldn’t believe that Jane would pass on the

opportunity to join their book club. What appalled her even more, was that Jane didn’t answer her phone whenever she called.A month had passed, and Jane was still nowhere to be found. Irked that her need for order was disrupted, Amanda asked the other women if they’d seen Jane. “Is she out of the country or something?” The women replied that they didn’t know where Jane was, as they had not heard from her since they last saw her.

Amanda shrugged off the thought and carried on with her life until one day, she decided to walk outside for a breath of fresh air. She saw Jane walking down the street, caressing her round belly with her hand.The following day, Amanda couldn’t wait to tell the book club members what she’d seen. “I swear that Jane is pregnant!” she blurted out immediately. Another woman chimed in, saying she also saw Amanda that week and that her belly looked big. Amanda shook her head.”At her age, she should be babysitting her grandchildren, not giving birth! It’s disgusting!” Amanda said, judging Jane behind her back.”Tell me about it,” another elderly woman said. “What’s the baby going to call her?

Grandma? Imagine going to parent-teacher conferences with gray hair while all the other moms are in their thirties.”At that comment, the book club members laughed in agreement.”Who would want a child from her?” Amanda laughed mockingly. A couple of days later, Amanda saw Jane at the grocery store. She was standing near a food shelf caressing her round belly with her hand. Amanda rushed to Jane with a burning interest to learn the name of her baby’s father. Before getting to her question, she decided to poke fun at Jane, who was looking at a shelf of peanuts. “You know, pregnant women shouldn’t eat peanuts. It can cause allergies!” Amanda scoffed as she got closer. Jane turned to her calmly. “I’m not allergic to peanuts, and my doctor told me I’m completely healthy.

I do have the go signal to eat peanuts,” she replied.”It doesn’t matter! You’re putting a child in danger. You’re so selfish,” Amanda said without hiding her annoyance. As Jane was about to respond, she suddenly felt sick. She covered her mouth with her hand and ran to the nearby toilet. “Ugh. Disgusting. That’s why women your age shouldn’t be having babies!” Amanda called after her. Suddenly, Jane’s daughter appeared with her husband. “What’s the matter? Why are you yelling at my mom?!” she asked. “I was teaching your mom a lesson. She is very selfish to be buying junk food while pregnant. She is putting the baby in danger,” Amanda said. “Besides, how can she even sleep around? Isn’t she a widow?” Jane’s daughter was appalled. “First of all, ma’am, with all due respect, my mom’s pregnancy is none of your business,” she said. “But since you are all up in her business, the truth is, I’ve been trying to get pregnant for two years, but each pregnancy ended in a miscarriage. I tried surgery, I tried IVF, but nothing helped.

The doctor said our chances were zero to none. Adoption was not something I wanted to do…” Jane’s daughter explained.Jane had just stepped out of the bathroom when she heard her daughter confronting Amanda. She decided to step in and continue the story. “I offered to be a surrogate mother for my daughter, so she and her husband could have the child they dreamed of. This is my daughter, Billie, and her husband, Timothy Watson,” she said. Amanda was stunned and immediately felt embarrassed for how she had acted in the past couple of months. What stunned her even more was hearing Billie’s husband’s name. “Timothy Watson…” Amanda muttered as if trying to recall where she heard the name from. Then it hit her. Timothy Watson was the heir of a multi-million-dollar corporation in their state, particularly the one Amanda used to work in.”I’m so sorry,” she immediately said. “I didn’t know that Jane gave you such a wonderful gift by having your baby. Really, I’m sorry.””You don’t have to apologize to me,” Billie said.

Then she looked at her mom, hoping Amanda got the message. “I’m sorry I judged you without knowing your story, Jane. I hope you can forgive me,” Amanda said in tears. She had been put in her place, and it taught her a valuable lesson about minding her own business. Jane forgave her, and Amanda vowed to be better. When Jane gave birth, Amanda was the first to visit her at the hospital after her daughter and son-in-law. Amanda made sure to ask if Jane needed any help, and she aided in her recovery by taking care of the baby every time she visited Jane’s house. In the end, Amanda changed her ways, and she became good friends with Jane.

Everyone mocked him when he married her! Now, they all regret it. See what unfolded in the initial comments below…

Once we embrace our imperfections and love ourselves completely, that’s when we truly begin to experience life to its fullest.

It’s not simple to achieve. Celebrities and the media play a role in making ordinary people feel insecure about their looks, as they promote unrealistic standards through airbrushed images in magazines.

Some people refuse to let society’s unrealistic beauty standards define them and work hard to challenge others’ perceptions of them.
