Touching! Cancer Patient Weds From Hospital Bed In Beautiful Wedding Ceremony

WEDDING

UK: A terminally-ill cancer patient bravely said “I do” to his fiancee from his hospital bed.
 
Felix Glenny, 23, married Cola Weller, 22, just one month after finding out he had incurable bowel cancer.
 
The couple’s two children, Ralph, two, and Pearl, four months, watched the emotional ceremony alongside friends and family.
 
Cola said: “Felix just said he wanted to get married as soon as we could.
 
“It was a really amazing day, I had a lot of fun. It was crazy because we were really happy, but it was so emotional.
 
“It was a lovely day and we’ve been thinking about it ever since, it was just perfect.
 
“Felix managed to get out of bed and we went over to the the hospital social club and had a ceremony and the Chaplain from the hospital came over and gave us a blessing.
 
“It was a really nice day and everyone really helped us out. All of our family was there and a lot of our friends.”
 
Felix was admitted to Medway Maritime Hospital after suffering from stomach cramps for several weeks.
 
On November 11 he received the devastating news that doctors had found a large tumour in his bowels.
 
At first it was thought the cancer could be removed but later tests showed the disease had spread.
Felix, who works for a water company, was given just months to live.
 
He and hairdresser Cola decided to marry as soon as possible and started organising a ceremony.
They tied the knot at his hospital bed on Friday before attending a reception at the hospital social club.
 
Revd Steve Spencer, the senior chaplain at the hospital, led the service – with Felix sitting in a wheelchair.
 
Three of Felix’s close family members have died of bowel cancer – his mother, grandfather and aunt.
Despite being struck by such a devastating illness, the dedicated family man is determined to provide for his young family.
 
Ashley Clark, 23, Felix’s best friend, has started a GoFundMe website, to raise money for his children.
 
The site has already raised more than £27,000.
 
Felix and Cola met through mutual friends in Lower Stoke, Kent, in August 2010, where they now live.
 
Cola added: “Felix is really comfortable at the moment. He’s got his head round everything and just wants to spend time with the kids, me and his family.
 
“He’s been really really positive, and is trying to think of the kids.
 
“He doesn’t want to get upset in front of the kids, he doesn’t want to let them know what’s going on.
“Especially Ralph, who is starting to understand that his dad’s in hospital.
 
“The kids and I will be in the hospital on Christmas Day.
 
“Pearl is too young to know what’s going on, but Ralph sort of understands. When we go to see his dad he says ‘poorly’.
 
“It will be his last Christmas with them, so we want to make it as special as possible.”

Over Here Guys!; Mosanto Develops Revolutionary New Penis-Enlarging Corn Crop. (Must Read)

The multinational agrochemical and agricultural biotechnology corporation, Monsanto, announced this morning, that they had genetically engineered a modified corn crop, designed to help men have larger penises and longer-lasting erections. The company’s scientists used genes from a number of plants to create this surprising species of transgenic corn, described as “more efficient than any penis-enlarging pill”. They notably used genetic material from a plant native to Indonesia and Malaysia, called  Eurycoma Longifolia  or  Tongkat Ali , which is known for its ability to raise testosterone levels. They also used genes from watermelon, as its rind is a good natural source of citrulline, a dietary precursor which causes the penis to fill up nitric oxide. This relaxes the smooth muscle in blood vessels and erectile organs, augmenting the penis’ capacity for enlargement during erection. “Men will...

Justice And The Killer Cop

  NOT surprisingly, and for good reasons too, security agencies, in particular the Nigeria Police, have been placed on the spot by local and international human rights communities for their highhandedness in dealing with suspects in custody or at points of arrest. Quite a number of extra-judicial killings and tortures in these circumstances have been highlighted by the local media too.    Against this background, the judgment of the Bayelsa State High Court, Nembe Division, sitting in Yenagoa, delivered by Justice Lucky Boufili sending killer policeman, Matthew Egheghe, to the gallows is most welcome. It is a bold statement that the law frowns at cruelty by uniformed officers of the state and that an appropriate premium is placed on life by the Nigerian state.   That judgment would not bring back the dead, but it should to some extent console their grieving families that justice was served to the guilty. It would equally serve as a deterrent to trigger-h...
