My daughter Brie went to heaven early this morning, ending her long battle with brain cancer. It is an incredibly difficult time for all of us, but the lord did answer our prayers. We had prayed for complete and total healing which she is whole, healthy, and perfect in heaven right now. We had also prayed for a peaceful and quick passing with as little suffering as possible. Please keep the family in your prayers and thank you all for the support during this time.

Racing legend, Alex Zanardi, who lost both legs in a crash and went on to win Paralympic ​gold medals for Italy, has sadly died at the age of 59.

Remembering Roland Ratzenberger Forever in our thoughts ❤️🤍

His name was Irrfan Khan. He was born in 1967 in Tonk, Rajasthan. His father ran a tyre business. He was selected for a national cricket tournament for under 23 players. He could not attend because he could not afford the travel expenses. He won a scholarship to the National School of Drama in Delhi in 1984. Acting was not the plan. The scholarship was. In his final year at NSD, Mira Nair cast him in Salaam Bombay. His scenes were cut because he was too tall for the frame. He moved to Mumbai with nothing. He repaired air conditioners to pay rent while waiting for his next role. The 1990s were television serials and forgettable films. The industry had no space for a man with unconventional looks who refused to perform emotions instead of feeling them. He almost quit in 2001. A British film called The Warrior changed his mind. Then everything shifted. Slumdog Millionaire. Life of Pi. Paan Singh Tomar. The Lunchbox. Piku. Talvar. Two films he acted in collectively won 12 Oscars. At the Academy Awards, Julia Roberts stopped him outside the venue to tell him she loved his work in The Namesake. Christopher Nolan offered him a role in Interstellar. He turned it down because he had committed to The Lunchbox. In 2016, he dropped Khan from his name. He said he wanted his work to define him, not his lineage. In 2018, he was diagnosed with a rare neuroendocrine cancer. He flew to London for treatment. Came back in 2019 and went straight back to work. He completed Angrezi Medium while undergoing chemotherapy. It was his last film. Today marks five years since he left. He was 53. The man who repaired air conditioners in Mumbai turned down Christopher Nolan. India just never told that story loud enough. Follow for real stories India never makes headlines about.

That's sad news 😔😔RIP Great 250cc rider in the 80s

The late Derek Minter was born 94 years ago today. A privateer legend, he stunned Honda to win the 1962 Lightweight TT and dominated the short circuits at Brands Hatch. He earned his nickname "King of Brands" from Murray Walker himself. RIP The Mint.

Five years ago today, we lost a true American racing legend: Dick "Bugsy" Mann. Two-time AMA Grand National Champion (1963 & 1971), and the man who gave Honda its breakthrough first Daytona 200 victory in 1970 aboard the CB750. RIP Dick Mann

My mum died yesterday. We were fortunate to be with her in her final hours. Mum managed to keep going until her birthday & we ensured it was a great day. My mum was the best mum in the world, ever. I will miss her terribly. Mum and dad are back together again. Keep safe.

Sad to see Niall, always enjoyed your posts of Maisie up to mischief.💔

Se cayó. Se rió. Dos días después, había fallecido. En marzo de 2009, Natasha Richardson estaba tomando una clase de esquí para principiantes en Mont-Tremblant, Quebec. Se cayó en una pendiente suave, se levantó, se lo tomó a broma y dijo que se sentía bien. No presentaba ninguna lesión visible. No hubo pánico. No había motivo para preocuparse. Horas después, desarrolló un fuerte dolor de cabeza. Al día siguiente, tenía muerte cerebral. La causa fue un hematoma epidural, una lesión rara y devastadora conocida por su "intervalo lúcido". La persona aparenta normalidad, incluso felicidad, mientras el sangrado se acumula silenciosamente dentro del cráneo. Cuando los síntomas se hacen evidentes, suele ser demasiado tarde. Su esposo, Liam Neeson, corrió a su lado y se enfrentó a lo inimaginable. Natasha era donante de órganos y había dejado claras sus intenciones. En medio de un dolor insoportable, Liam tomó la decisión más difícil de su vida y autorizó la desconexión del soporte vital para que otros pudieran vivir. Natasha tenía 45 años. Llevaban casados ​​15 años. Sus dos hijos fueron llevados para despedirse. Sus órganos salvaron muchas vidas. Tras aquel día, Liam se retiró de la vida pública y se dedicó por completo a criar a sus hijos. Años después, describiría el duelo como algo que llega por oleadas, afirmando que algunas pérdidas nunca desaparecen del todo. Nunca volvió a casarse. Sus amigos dicen que aún lleva su anillo de bodas. Natasha Richardson se cayó en una suave pendiente y se echó a reír. Cuarenta y ocho horas después, ella ya no estaba. Liam Neeson ha interpretado a héroes en la pantalla durante toda su carrera. Pero el verdadero valor consistió en levantarse cada día después de perder a la persona que era el pilar de su vida y elegir seguir adelante. Esta no es una escena de película. Es la vida. Frágil. Repentina. Implacable.
