Norman was once a hardworking draft horse who spent years doing backbreaking labor. When Lauren found and rescued him, he was still wearing brand-new road shoes, a sign that he had either been working tirelessly until very recently or had just passed through the hands of a horse trader....

This painting shows the most heartbreaking reunion in all of literature. To understand it, you have to know who the dog is... His name is Argos, and he belongs to Ulysses, the Greek hero also known as Odysseus. Before Ulysses sailed away to fight in the Trojan War, he had raised Argos from a puppy, a fast and beautiful hunting dog. Then the war called, and Ulysses left. He would not come home for twenty years. When Ulysses finally set foot on his own island again, he came in disguise, dressed as a beggar, so that no one would know him. His house was full of men trying to steal his wife and his kingdom. To survive, he had to remain a stranger in his own home. No one recognized him. Not his loyal servants. Not the people who had known him all his life. But lying in the dirt by the gate, old and forgotten, covered in ticks, too weak to stand, was a dog. Argos had waited twenty years. And the moment he saw him, he knew. He was the only one. Nearly blind, half dead, he lifted his head and pricked up his ears, and he wagged his tail for the master he had never stopped waiting for. Ulysses saw him. And because he was in disguise, surrounded by enemies, he could not run to him, could not kneel down, could not say his name. He could only look at his old friend and, turning his face away so no one would see, let a single tear fall. And then, in Homer's own words, "the dark shadow of death closed down on Argos' eyes, the instant he had seen Odysseus, twenty years away." He had held on to life for one reason only: he was waiting to see him come home. And the moment he did, he could finally let go... It is such a beautiful painting, and the look on that dog's face is so universal, so instantly understood by anyone who has ever loved and waited, that it is enough to bring a grown man to tears.

โ€œWe had joy, we had fun, we had seasons in the sun but the hills that we climbed were just seasons out of timeโ€ฆ โ€œ Born in 2002 sired by Gaylord (GY) in an army depot. Rejected by the army for his size and to cover up a botched up eye worm operation. This one eyed little horse was auctioned and bought by a tanga wala. A quick phone call from a Colonel Dahiya to a Colonel Ahlawat about the promise being wasted pulling Tangas all his life saved him from that life. The Colonel saab reluctant to sell his wonder baby had to pay EMIs and he came into my life outta sheer destiny and made my life so much richer. I named him Ranji coz of his one eye like Maharaja Ranjit Singh Gaekwar (Ranji trophy is named after him). Due to his free upbringing by the Colonel he turned out to be a free spirited and a naughty child. He jumped out or crawled out of all kinds of stables we put him in. With his childlike vivacious personality there was never a dull moment with him around. Always wanting to be running free. He jumped that way too. He took me flying over many an obstacle, sometimes with my eyes shut for the scare of it and won me many a medal. He was always way superior to my riding skills at the time but he carried me well. Unfortunately he contacted Laminitis in his prime years. A disease due to which most horses are euthanised. I just gave him some time and thanks to Dr Pheroz Khambatta he bounced back and was jumping again. A very rare case. Many a times complications rose in due course and the horrible question of putting him down raised its head. All I said was โ€œletโ€™s give him some time.โ€ He always bounced back like the little tennis ball he was thanks to his loving grooms over the years, Khem Singh, the many Bhoom Singhs, Revat Singh, Megh Singh and Sumer Singh. He finally passed on to the other realm at 23 years old which is like in the 90s in horse years. He still needed two grooms to hold him when taken for a walk coz he was still so full of spirit. He even tried to jump out of the stable on his last night as if he wanted to fly away. And Fly away he did. Heartbroken and almost not wanting to keep horses anymore I bid you farewell my dear trusted friend. My Ranji. We just ran out time brother. ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿค—

โ€œBut Serhat doesnโ€™t deserve her.โ€ Meanwhile, Serhat literally shifted the course of his entire life as a teenager, leaving behind everything he loved just so she could have what she wanted, even if that future didnโ€™t include him. When he came back, he fought for her to stay in the mansion because he wanted her safe. He treated her better than anyone ever had. You might think it wasnโ€™t enough, but he did the best he could, and Yฤฑldฤฑz herself saw that! He stood against the clan. Against the norms. Against the culture. Against traditions. Against his mother. Against his brother. Against her own brother. Against the man she thought was her father. When he found out her family was fake, he brought her mother to her. And when he realized that woman was not the mother Yฤฑldฤฑz deserved, he kicked her out. He saved her life multiple times. And no, before anyone says it, he was not the one putting her life in danger. Yฤฑldฤฑz was constantly sacrificing herself out of love, and every single time he tried to stop her from doing that. People tried to take her away from him, and he never let that happen! Even when he divorced her and let her go, he couldnโ€™t completely give up on her. You may call that selfish, but the man was terrified of losing her and believed he had no other choice. He gave up everything. Everything. And he is still ready to give up more if it meant she would be okay and with him. He didnโ€™t care that people talked when she ran away with another man. He didnโ€™t care when she got engaged to someone else. He didnโ€™t care when she told him she didnโ€™t love him and loved somebody else. Because he knew why she was doing those things. He knew she was sacrificing herself for him, just like he had sacrificed himself for her before. This is the same Serhat who learned that the blood feud was fake and immediately continued treating her like she was still his wife, because he never married her only because of that feud in the first place ๐Ÿคท๐Ÿปโ€โ™€๏ธ He married her because, since childhood, he had been convinced she was his destiny! And the only reason he kept running away from her was to save her, not because he wanted to get rid of her. The same man who didnโ€™t care whether she could give him children or not. The same man who said he wanted to build a life with HER, not a family. Meaning he didnโ€™t want children. He wanted Yฤฑldฤฑz. I genuinely donโ€™t know what some people are watching. And if you donโ€™t see what I see, thatโ€™s okay. We can have different povs but it is so obvious to me that there is something in this story that some people are completely missing๐Ÿคท๐Ÿปโ€โ™€๏ธ Guess after all he doesnโ€™t deserve her โ€ฆ

Excellent Breakdown Of The Mysterious โ€œSuicideโ€ Of The Hero Police Officer Who Saved 4 Lives During Oklahoma City Bombing Right before he โ€˜Committed Suicideโ€™ he said, โ€œThey're not telling the truth about what's going on down thereโ€ โ€œOne year after the Oklahoma City bombings, this officer who saved four lives was found unalived under very strange circumstances. On April 19th, 1995, Sergeant Terrence Yeakey responded to calls that a bomb had gone off in the Murroff Federal Building in downtown Oklahoma City. Sergeant Yakey was the first person to respond that day and was able to save four people before the second floor collapsed and he injured his back so severely he wasn't able to continue. An hour and a half later, police arrested Timothy McVeigh and Terry Nichols, who were anti-government extremists. A year after the bombing, Sergeant Yakey and 90 other officers were selected to receive the city's medal of valor, but just three days before the ceremony, he was found unalived in a field near his hometown of El Reno, Oklahoma. His car was found abandoned along the side of a dirt road, and there was a lot of blood in the car, but his body was found about a mile into the field off of that road. No gun was found on the scene, but he had been shot in the head and he was covered in cuts as well. According to one report, quote, "While still inside his Ford Probe that he had parked on a lonely country road, Yakey slashed himself 11 times on both forearms, twice on his throat, then apparently seeking an even more private place to end his life, he crawled 8,000 feet through rough terrain and climbed a fence before putting a gun to his head, which apparently took him to the hereafter.โ€ He didn't leave a note, there was no investigation or autopsy, but police still immediately ruled that he had taken his own life. Terry had an ex-wife named Tanya who was the mother of his children and she claimed when she picked him up from the hospital after the bombing, he quote, started crying and It's not what they're saying it is. They're not telling the truth about what's going on down there, but wouldn't elaborate any further. She claimed that two or three days after the bombing, he asked her to take him back to the site so he could check for something under the daycare center, but they were turned away. She claimed that his supervisor made him rewrite his report on the bombing and that he started showing up at her house at very strange hours and acting very anxious and afraid. She'd said he'd started gathering up all of their insurance paperwork for her to keep, he wanted them to get remarried so that her daughters would be protected if something happened to him, and she said that he, quote, knew something was coming fast and was trying to protect his family, but he wasn't fast enough. After he passed, she went bankrupt and lost their house, and she said she knew for sure if he'd planned to take his life, he would have made sure that they were taken care of first. His daughters didn't receive a cent of his pension. And Tonya said that the police department was much more concerned with promoting a narrative that he took his own life because he felt guilty for not being able to save more people during the bombing and that he was estranged from his wife and children, which was simply not true. So do you think that he took his own life or do you think somebody took it for him? And either way, why was there no investigation or autopsy performed?โ€
