A man, George Pickering took a gun to a hospital and had a stand-off with police for three hours. George’s son also named George had been declared brain dead by doctors after suffering a massive stroke in January this year. The 27 year old man had been on life support till doctors decided on a ‘terminal wean’ – whereby life support is slowly withdrawn to end a life. Pickering’s ex-wife and other son had agreed to the move and the young man had been placed on the organ donation register. Pickering 59, didnt agree to the move. ‘They were moving too fast. The hospital, the nurses, the doctors. I knew if I had three or four hours that night that I would know whether George was brain-dead’, he said to news men.

On the said day , George Pickering went to the hospital after drinking with a gun to visit his son. When Doctors decided to go ahead with the decision, he brought out his gun and threatened to shoot anyone who came by his son’s bed. This resulted in the hospital authorities calling police officials to the scene. During the stand-off , George Pickering the third who had been brain dead all this while squeezed his father’s hand three times on command.

All the while during the stand-off, police had called his other son to come and reason with his father to give up his gun and allow doctors do their job. When his father got confirmation that indeed his son was alive and not brain dead, he gave up his gun and was arrested. He was charged with two counts of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon after marching into Tomball Regional Medical Center in Texas with a gun.

He admits that it was indeed a reckless law breaking action but it was for the right reasons. Charges against him were eventually dropped and his son has made full recovery.

“He came up to me, reached out and grabbed my hand and he said ‘hey, you’ve worked for this as hard as I have, you deserve this as much as I do”

Step-dad Todd Cendrosky had no idea about biological father Todd Bachman’s plans

“What better way to thank somebody than to assist me walking our daughter down the aisle?” said Bachman

“I got weak in the knees and everything, I couldn’t have had anything better in my life, It was the most important thing in my life,” said Cendrosky

“It hasn’t always been peaches and cream by any stretch of the imagination,” said Bachman, but it looks like it was on the day that mattered most!

YouTube commenter that goes by ’00WARTHERAPY00′ shared a supernaturally touching story about racing their father’s ghost in Xbox racer RalliSport Challenge, 10 years after he had passed.

“Well, when I was 4, my dad bought a trusty XBox. You know, the first, ruggedy, blocky one from 2001. “

“I couldn’t touch that console for 10 years.”

“But once I did, I noticed something.”

“We used to play a racing game, Rally Sports Challenge. Actually pretty awesome for the time it came.”

“And once I started meddling around… I found a GHOST. “

“Literally.”

“You know, when a time race happens, that the fastest lap so far gets recorded as a ghost driver? Yep, you guessed it – his ghost still rolls around the track today.”

“And so I played and played, and played, until I was almost able to beat the ghost. Until one day I got ahead of it, I surpassed it, and…

“I stopped right in front of the finish line, just to ensure I wouldn’t delete it.Bliss.”

They started by digging a hole into a dirt slope beside their house.

The father of Reddit user wnx_ch had a dream ever since moving into his house years ago. There was something he really wanted to build. The family lives in a chalet in Switzerland, and as if living in that beautiful country doesn’t make me jealous enough, wait til you see what this guy and his father did over a 9 month period to make that dream come true.
Check out the process below, from start to epic finish.

Then they started building with some wooden planks and concrete. They had to let it dry for a week.

Coming along nicely, but what is this thing?

They added a second layer with some steel for stability and some holes and pipes for the rain water.

They bought the rest of the stuff they needed, weighing in at 880 pounds. Whoa.

Now we’re getting somewhere.

They built the arc for this fantastic creation on the ground before applying it to the structure.

Any idea what it is yet?

It needs ventilation, so that should narrow it down quite a bit.

Yes… it is what you think it is.

But at this point, winter was coming so they had to take a few months off.

In the meantime, they used LEGO to continue working on the design.

Seriously, LEGO is awesome.

Finally, in April they continued the building process.

I assume you know what this is by now. (Hint: it’s not a weird dog house)

They built the wooden tiles for the roof.

And stained them to look gorgeous.

And here it is, the finished result…

An AWESOME pizza oven.

With pizza!

Mmmm.

Double mmmm.

Jim Zetz is a father with Stage 4 pancreatic cancer. He knew that his time left on Earth was limited, but he wanted to do something incredibly special for the wife and daughter that he was leaving behind.

The story begins with the photographer, Lindsey Villatoro, who was taking pictures of Jim and his wife as part of her “forever loved” photo session. After the meeting the two she said that “the most beautiful people I’ve known are those who have known trials, have known struggles, have known loss, and have found their way out of the depths”.
After Josie mentioned that she was sad her father would miss out on so many important things in her life, Lindsey decided to help the family make something beautiful that they would remember forever.

With the help of Lindsey, the Zetz family organized a special moment for Josie and her daddy.

They decided to hold the event on Josie’s 11th birthday…

…and since Jim probably wouldn’t be around to see her real marriage, they held a special ceremony that he could be present for.

Jim held his little girl’s hand while he walked her down the aisle.

And at the altar he slipped a ring on her finger as they were declared “daddy and daughter”.

Everyone present said it was one of the most beautiful things they had ever witnessed.

No one there will ever forget the moment, and no matter what Jim and Josie will have this in their hearts forever.

Life is so fleeting and fragile, and sometimes it takes moments like this to remind us that we have to cherish those close to us for as long as we can. Share this incredible story with others below.
