Couple Leaves A Note Behind for A Man When They Realize He’s Out on A Date That’s Not With His Wife:
By Malia Blom Hill

The responsibility of being a parent can be daunting. Some days, all you want is for someone to let you know you’re doing it right. So when one single dad took his six-year-old daughter out for dinner on Valentine’s Day, being handed this note must have been an incredible comfort.

The note reads:
Hi there!
Sorry to spy, but my husband and I saw you out with your little date and were so impressed with what a great Dad you are.
From two adults who grew up without dads, it’s so important to have a male role model at a young age.
Keep up the good work Dad!
Dinner is on us!
When he posted the picture of the letter on Imgur, the Dad said that he, “teared up at the table,” as soon as he read the anonymous couple’s note. He didn’t have the opportunity to thank them in person, but he expressed how much their kind gesture truly touched his heart.
A note like this is a wonderful reminder of the important roles played by the good dads of the world.


When His Grandpa with Alzheimer’s Keeps Wandering Off, Teen Invents a Clever Device to Keep Him Safe:
By Becca Lower


What started as one teen’s sudden inspiration to solve his family’s problem, might one day help millions of Alzheimer’s sufferers stay safe from wandering away at night.
Sixteen-year-old Kenneth Shinozuka developed a special device, as CBS New York explained last October:
“Shinozuka earned special honors on Sunday for his new invention that detects when his grandfather gets out of bed throughout the night.
The Horace Mann School student made a sensor for his grandfather’s foot that sends a message to his caretaker’s phone so he can’t wander off, Gold reported.
‘One day I was daydreaming and saw my grandfather step out of bed,’ Shinozuka explained. ‘My grandfather’s using it. He’s been using it for 11 months now and it’s had a 100 percent success rate.’”

Though Shinozuka said he was four-years-old when his grandfather first showed signs of Alzheimer’s, the need to address some of his symptoms became critical when his grandfather kept wandering off — including onto the freeway one night.
Shinozuka shared the frightening details with NBC News:
“We were woken up by a police officer knocking on the door. It was very real and very scary.”
Situations like this inspired the then-fifteen-year-old to search for a device that would keep the family aware of his grandpa’s movements, while allowing his grandmother to get some sleep. But, there was nothing on the market.
So, as Shinozuka explains in the video below, he invented a sock-worn device that monitors whenever a patient steps out of bed, instantly sending an alert to a smartphone that something’s not right.
In 2014, Kenneth was awarded the third annual $50,000 Scientific American http://www.scientificamerican.com/education/science-in-action/Science in Action Award at the Google Science Fair.
As his mother notes in the video, this probably won’t be the last time we’ll be hearing about Shinozuka and his quest to help others live a better life
