Lance Peytavin is a father of two who has who has Li-Fraumeni Syndrome. This syndrome causes him to be more prone to cancer. Lance's son also has Li-Fraumeni Syndrome which means he has an 80-90 percent chance of getting cancer.

When Father's Day came around, his children knew they wanted to do something extra special for their loving dad. So they decided to surprise him by re-writing the lyrics to 'Seven Years' and inviting friends and family to the performance.
Just watch as Kate is called from the crowd to step up to the microphone and her dad looks on in confusement. As she starts to sing, family and friends begin to surrounds Lance and he realizes this special moment is actually for him. That's when the tears start to flow and I had to wipe away a few myself. These children are so thoughtful and it's obvious that they love their dad very much. What a moment to cherish for a lifetime.
Don Bitterlich is an accordion player in Garmisch, Germany. He's used to playing for a crowd, but this particular bunch is like no other he's seen before. Just watch as he steps up to the fence and starts to play his accordion.
As soon as he plays the first note, the cows come running. They are literally clamoring over top of one another in order to get closer to Don. They are so mesmerized by his music that they start to cry out to one another. It's obvious that Don sure loves entertaining the cows with his accordion and they definitely enjoy it too.
Some studies have even shown that music can help the milk production in cows so this cute concert just got even better. This is such a cool moment to witness. Have you ever seen anything like it?
Everyone knows about the elegance and grace of ice skating competitions but we sometimes overlook inline skating. This sport is just as difficult and takes lot of skill and practice to perfect some of the challenging moves.
Klaudia Hartmanis is one of the most world-renowned slalom skaters. Slalom skating involves performing tricks and moves around cones placed in a straight line. Klaudia truly takes this sport to new limits as she not only completes the competition but she makes a performance out of the entire thing. This young Polish skater really impressed at the Paris Slalom World Cup 2015.
No wonder everyone is talking about Klaudia and her incredible skills in the rink. Just watching this performance is absolutely mesmerizing and I can't get over how difficult some of these tricks really are. What do you think of Klaudia and her shalom skating routine?
16-year-old Jaclyn Lovey took The Voice stage by storm during her recent audition. As soon as she started singing the Elvis Presley classic "Can't Help Falling In Love" the judges were impressed.
Her unique voice caught the attention of the judges and some of them knew they just had to have Jaclyn on their team. Her blind audition was a truly stripped down performance of this classic tune and it showcased all of her incredible vocal abilities. Jaclyn is so young, but she already has a dream and she's starting to chase after it.
I was so glad when the judges turned around for her and now I'm looking forward to her next performance even more. If this was just her audition, can you imagine what her real performance will be like? This season of The Voice is really shaping up to be a great one.

Esmond and his wife of 72 years had six children and that led to many grandchildren, great-grandchildren, and great-great grandchildren. Just watch the precious moment with this proud Papa holds little Esmond in his arms and says the sweetest words.

Country duo Joey+Rory stole our hearts with their amazing voices and beautiful love story. Even though Joey went to be with the Lord, her life continues to live on through her family and her music.
One of the special songs that was released right before her death was 'In the Time That You Gave Me.' These beautiful words ask the question did I give all I could give on this earth while God gave us the chance. 14-year-old Irish singer Owen Mac chose to cover this touching song and his talent is the perfect fit for this one.
There's no doubt that Owen was blessed with a God-given talent for singing and he's using that gift in an amazing way. This special song will truly touch your heart and hearing it from this young man really hits you hard. Joey+Rory touched the world with their story and I'm so glad that this legacy continues to live on.
There's truly nothing like a good country song to really make you feel some emotion. And that's exactly what happened when Justin Kilgore stepped on The Voice stage for his audition.
Just listen as he starts to belt out the Chris Young hit 'Tomorrow.' By the time Justin got to the chorus of the song, three judges had turned their chairs around. And by the end, he had won over every single one. The judges were so interested in having Justin on their team that Alicia even used her 'blocking' power to stop fellow judge Blake from having Justin on his team.
There's no doubt that this guy has tons of talent and it's so entertaining to watch the judges plead their cases to win him over. I think Justin will be in this competition for a long time and I can't wait to see what his next performance holds. What did you think of this country crooner?
When the Kiriku Brothers stepped on to the stage of Spain's Got Talent, I don't think anyone was prepared for what was about to happen. They brought a chair out and started to act around it, but when they began an awe-worthy acrobatic routine, I was so surprised.
Just watch as this older brother starts to toss and spin his little brother around in the most incredible way. There were times when I was holding my breath and the other times I was cheering these two on. The longer this routine went on the more and more I was impressed with their precision, skill and dedication to the craft.
It's obvious the judges were impressed too because they kept clapping and saying 'wow.' And when one of the judges hits that golden buzzer sending the duo straight to the live show, I was cheering too. I can't wait to see what these brothers do next!
When I first saw this video, I wasn't exactly sure what was happening. But when I realized the secret this woman was uncovering, I was absolutely amazed. Just watch as this groomer finishes shaving a beautiful husky.
The dog still looks full and fluffy and that's when she pulls out a vacuum nozzle and starts to blow off the dog's fur. There was so much excess fur on the husky from the recent grooming and the more this woman used the blower, the more I was amazed. This large husky wasn't nearly as big as I thought he was. In fact, he looks rather handsome and lean.
This groomer definitely had the right idea by using a blower to get all of that fur off the dog and I'm sure this pup feels so much lighter now. This is a trick that I'll definitely have to keep in mind the next time I groom my dog. Do you have any tips like this one?
17-year-old Britton Buchanan took a chance when he stepped on to The Voice stage for his audition. But as soon as he started to sing the classic Ray LaMontagne tune 'Trouble' he immediately won over the judges.
This crooner barely got to the chorus of his performance before 3 of the judges just had to turn their chairs around to see the face behind that incredible voice. One of the judges even wanted Britton on his team so bad that he blocked a fellow judge from choosing him. Britton may be young but it's obvious that he possesses a ton of talent.
If this was just his first performance, I can't wait to see what this young man has up his sleeve for the next one. Who else is looking forward to watching Britton on The Voice?
I've heard a lot of buskers and street performers but when I heard these 2 guys starting singing, I was taken aback. Blac Rabbit was performing in the subway when they started to sing The Beatles classic 'Eight Days A Week.'
Their voices sound just like the iconic group and it's absolutely uncanny. The Beatles are such a popular group that it's always a risk to cover one of their songs but these boys completely did it justice.
Their voices obviously resonated with people all over the world because their performance has been viewed over 16 million times. What amazing talent. I sure hope that we see more of these guys in the future.
This sweet man sure does love to take care of his dog. One rainy day, these two were out and about around town in Philippines, Davao City at the Agdao Market. This duo was riding on the man's bicycle when the rain became a little too much.
Just watch as this amazing owner places his dog in the front basket and makes sure he has a blanket wrapped around him. But that wasn't enough coverage, so he grabbed a straw hat and placed it on the dog's head to shield him from the rain. I
t's obvious that this man absolutely loves his dog and wants to make sure he is safe and sound no matter what. And this pup is just as content as can be. I can tell that these two are the best of friends and watching their precious friendship truly makes my heart warm.
Every parent knows that raising a child is not easy and raising a teenager is especially difficult. It seems like there is a new twist every other day and just when you get the hang of it, something changes again.
Motivational speaker Josh Shipp knows this all too well and he brilliantly summed up how to parent a teenager is just 90 seconds. Josh compared teenagers to the lap bar on a roller coaster. When you get into a roller coaster, one of the first things a person does is to pull on to the lap bar and make sure it is properly restraining you. You don't want the lap bar to fail, you want to make sure that it will hold you in safely and securely.
This is just like teenagers who will test you, as a parent, to see if you hold. I love how he uses this simple analogy to really bring a light to raising a teen. It's definitely not easy, but with faith and persistence we can all make it through!
The One Voice Children's Choir is an incredibly talented ensemble of young men and women. And their beautiful songs full of passion and love never fail to touch our hearts.
As the world around us continues to become more unstable, it's important to look to God and all that we have to be thankful for. He has truly given us so much in this life and when we pass on, we will live out our days in Heaven with Him. Though it may be sad and difficult to lose our loved ones, we can find comforting in knowing that they are in a better place. That's exactly what the special words of ''Do Not Stand at My Grave and Weep' will remind you of.
These words were originally a poem written by Mary Elizabeth Frye. These touching words have comforted many hearts through the years and I'm so glad that this children's choir brought the words to life through song.

Miles Boyer’s wife Kate was out of town for the weekend when he decided to give her the ultimate surprise. This mother of 3 works really hard to take care of the family so Miles thought it would be a great idea to update their master bedroom.
He removed everything from the room including furniture, curtains and the old carpet. The kids loved playing around in the empty room and they especially loved when Daddy put down laminate flooring and they were able to run and tumble all around the room. This kind husband worked long into the night to give this room fresh paint, new outlets and brand new floors. And the look on Kate's face when she sees the big reveal is work every moment of work.
It's obvious that she's over the moon with the surprise and I can tell that she will be enjoying lots of time in her updated bedroom. What a great makeover surprise.
Most people would risk their lives to save a loved one, or pet... From the flames of a burning fire. But how can you be saved from the flames of ETERNAL fire? Be SURE.
