@DoctorLemma I look at it all differently now 😆. But that is amazing how all of that happened. Very happy his dad got a kidney ❤️❤️

In 2007, a mother in Jacksonville, Florida, USA took a photo of her eleven month old son on a beach. He had his tiny fist clenched, his jaw set, and the expression of someone who had just won something important.
He was actually about to eat a fistful of sand.
She uploaded the photo to the internet and forgot about it. Two years later it had become one of the most recognisable images on the entire internet. A baby with a clenched fist and a look of pure determination. Two words underneath it.
Success Kid.
It was used by Barack Obama's presidential team. It appeared on billboards across the United Kingdom. It was licensed to Coca-Cola. Millions of people used it every single day to celebrate small victories.
Nobody knew the boy's name. Nobody knew what was happening at home.
Before Sammy Griner was born his father Justin was diagnosed with kidney disease. By the time Sammy was old enough to understand what was happening, his father was spending four hours a day three days a week on dialysis. Six years of it. Justin's mother had already passed from the same disease. The family needed a transplant and they needed money for the medication that would follow.
His mother was initially reluctant to use her son's famous face to ask for help. She wanted the fundraiser to be about her husband, not a meme. Then she changed her mind.
Within five days three hundred people had donated. Within a few more days the story spread across the internet and the total reached over one hundred thousand dollars.
The call came. A kidney was available. The transplant was a success.
When Sammy was told his father had a new kidney, he burst into tears.
The photo that started as a joke about eating sand had saved his father's life.

You know @Tectone, the timing sucks, because this banger is dropping this morning.
It is 100% true that @hasanthehun is gay for @Asmongold, otherwise he wouldn't do everything to get his attention.
RIP my channel after this one boys.

Back in the Summer of 2007 when I was pregnant with Chloe and working at Jared (TGOJ) I was obsessed with Paramore’s first album RIOT.
Every single day on my way to and from work, I would put one earbud in my ear, the other earbud in my belly button. I would crank that album all the way up and sing it at the top of my lungs, serenading my little Riot Baby.
Today things came full circle when I picked my now 18-year-old baby Chloe up from her most recent job interview.
Afterwards, she twisted my arm into taking her to lunch at El Fenix because she was “literally dying of starvation” (she ate like two bites lol)
On the way home she connected to my cars Bluetooth and queued up RIOT. We screamed those songs the whole way home.
Holding back tears I told her how much I love singing with her in the car and always have… even before I knew her.
