D. Carlos I

No momento mais doloroso da tua vida, o teu marido gostaria de estar ao pé de ti para dizer tudo aquilo que ele pensa, mas que é impossível de escrever. (...) Muitos poderão dizer-to ou mostrar-to melhor que eu, mas ninguém te conhece ou te ama mais do que o teu marido devotado.

Japan’s First Woman Photo-Journalist, Still Shooting At The Age Of 101, Reveals Her Secret

Tsuneko Sasamoto is one of Japan’s first woman photo-journalists. Born on September 1st, 1914, she is also one of the country’s oldest photographers, and despite breaking her hand and both legs last year, is still taking photos. Sasamoto is now undergoing rehab while photographing flowers for a project titled “Hana Akari,” or “Flower Glow,” a tribute to friends who have passed away.
Sasamoto became a professional photographer at 25, and garnered attention for her photos of pre- and post-war Japan. Zaikeinews reports that Ms. Sasamoto’s inborn curiosity has always driven her to work. “Pretty scared but curious, don’t like it but want to see it. I feel compelled to face the world and let people know what I see, just want to have the pictures taken…” said Sasamoto.
“It’s essential to remain positive about your life and never give up,” says Tsuneko

“You should never become lazy”

Teen Shaved Head To Surprise His Date Battling Cancer When She Came Back From Hospital

Allie Allen was diagnosed with brain cancer when she was 14 and recently suffered a relapse, so she was particularly grateful when her old friend Brayden Carpenter showed up to take her to Homecoming with a shaved head. Allen’s grandfather died from brain cancer in March, and her mother is suffering from breast cancer. Recently, Allen was forced to start chemotherapy.
“That was very hard for me to do but that’s one thing I got over and am not stressing over it anymore,” Allen wrote of cutting her hair because of chemotherapy on GoFundMe. “One of these pictures shows my scar now everyone can see it, but a scar is a tattoo with a better story, right?”
