As the best-selling female artist in country music history, and one of the best-selling music artists of all time, Shania Twain is going to live on forever – at least in our hearts.
Often referred to as the “Queen of Country Pop”, she conquered the world and became a global superstar in the 90s.
But few know the struggles she has faced in her life. First, she was a poor, starving kid before her breakthrough. Not to mention the fact that her life changed completely at 22 – when an unbearable tragedy forced new responsibilities upon her…
Rocky childhood
Shania Twain was born Eilleen Regina Edwards in Windsor, Ontario, on August 28, 1965. She would later change her surname when Shania’s mother, Sharon, remarried a man called Jerry Twain.
Since Shania’s biological father wasn’t present during her upbringing, she never publicly acknowledged him as her dad. Instead, Jerry took it upon himself to raise Shania, legally adopting her and her two sisters.
”My father (Jerry) went out of his way to raise three daughters that weren’t even his. For me to acknowledge another man as my father, a man who was never there for me as a father, who wasn’t the one who struggled every day to put food on our table, would have hurt him terribly,” Shania once said.
Divine intervention leads grandma to create family memory
Maintaining motivation in a world that seems to be getting darker and more gloomy by the day can be difficult. Considering the gravity of the problems the world faces, is there really nothing we can do to help?
Treating people like you would like to be treated is, in my opinion, the only appropriate course of action.
More good can come from small acts of compassion than we may ever know. Think about the story of the woman who, upon witnessing a lovely family, decided to assist them. She had no idea how much her insignificant deed would mean to them.
It ought to inspire people to lend a hand to friends, relatives, and even total strangers. Everything matters, regardless of how small.
On June 8, Joyce Rhinehart took her grandson Blake to Rita’s Italian Ice for ice cream. Just as Joyce and Blake were getting ready to leave, they noticed a family enjoying ice cream while seated on a bench outside.
Joyce shares content on Facebook. “I had to ask them if I could take their picture,” the speaker said.
After taking a picture with her phone, she sent it to the family’s daughter so she could email it to herself. The family thanked Joyce, and she forgot about the amazing encounter until she dropped Blake off at his place.
However, that is not the end of the story. A few days later Joyce received an SMS from an unknown number. When Joyce opened it and read it, she felt shivers run down her spine and she began to cry.
“Dear Madam, you snapped our photo in front of Rita’s on June 8th. Since my wife passed away yesterday, this is the last family portrait we have taken together. It means so much to me, so please accept my heartfelt appreciation for your consideration. I truly am grateful for your assistance.
Never underestimate the power of a tiny act of kindness. You never know; it could mean everything to the person on the other end.
