Early College High School valedictorian Alem Hadzic has gone viral after he took the stage at his graduation ceremony to deliver his speech—just hours after his father's funeral.
As the class of 2024 graduates and the school year comes to a close, there’s a new trend happening on social media that has all of us sentimentals feeling unwell over how fast time flies.
I have gone through every mother’s worst fear. I feel led to write this to all you Mamas because I have a longing to look each of you in the eyes and tell you this:
"It took years to collect all the little details of what actually happened that night, but I eventually did. With 10 adults and five kids present, anyone would assume our daughter would have been safe."
"That one last high led me to a room, brain in a fog, staring at caskets trying to decide which one my little girl should be buried in. That one last high led to writing an obituary, planning a funeral and a house full of flowers from grieving friends and family."
"We want to plead with you from the bottom of our hearts...please pay attention to what your children look at on social media. I know our kids always complain that we're being too overprotective but it's ok, it's our job."
"HOW did I not see him? The desperation to go back in time suffocates my every moment. Levi was gone for such a short amount of time that we didn't even know he was missing. I had split a brownie with him, and part of it was still in my mouth when I jumped..."
"HEART-WRENCHING. Here are photos of the five children killed in Thursday's fiery crash on I-75 near Gainesville, a church Facebook page says. The children were among 10 or more in a church van from Louisiana that troopers say was headed to Disney World."
"My heart broke! No child should feel the emotions Charlie is feeling. No Child! No parent should watch their child slowly go. Having to watch them deteriorate in this way is the most painful thing anyone will ever feel."
