Claire Lankford, 5-Year-Old With Terminal Cancer, Gets Princess Parade From Texas Town

Warning: don’t watch this video if you don’t have a box of tissues handy. Claire Lankford, 5, of Dickinson, Texas, is battling a rare form of cancer called Rhabdomyosarcoma. There is no cure for the disease and her family is determined to cherish every moment they have. Like many 5-year-olds, Claire is a big fan of princesses and fairy tales, so a family friend decided to give her the royal treatment in a big way. Claire Lankford Princess Party Claire’s “Princes Parade” was complete with a marching band, cheerleaders and a horse-drawn carriage ride down a street lined with hundreds of friends, neighbors and supporters. Claire wore a princess gown provided by a local bridal store and even her parents got in on the royal fun – her mother dressed as Belle and her father as Prince Charming. It was a great break from the realities of cancer for little Claire. “I haven’t been feeling good,” she told KHOU News in Houston. “I have tubes in my sides… and they have to give me some medicine.” “They were trying to just make me feel better, but it really hurt.” Wow, it sure is dusty in here all of a sudden. That probably explains why my eyes won’t stop watering.

Modern Dads Review: A Good Day at the Office?

Modern Dads, which premiered last night after another highly-rated episode of Duck Dynasty on A&E, is like its lead-in in many respects. It’s obviously family-oriented, comedic but heartwarming, relatable but slightly over the top, and in the gray area between scripted and reality. But does that make it a watchable show? Modern Dads Clip – Princess Party The four guys take good care of their children, to be sure, and don’t recoil in abject terror at the sight of things like dirty diapers, a la bad sitcoms. There are tons of moments on Modern Dads , like in life, where all you can do is shake your head, laugh or nod in a “been there” kind of way. Yet one can’t help but wonder if it would be better as an actual reality show, not just a comedic insight into the lives of men taking on “mom” roles. For many families, both parents play equal, or at least major, roles getting their kids to daycare or school on time, making dinner, and working. Both parents pitching in is not a novelty, but a necessity in tough economic times – something the folks on this show don’t have to worry about. So in that sense, this quartet of stay-at-home Modern Dads , ironically, may actually not be as representative of modern life as the title implies. That said, despite the obviously scripted talking heads and attempts to borrow from Modern Family , you have to give the dads credit where due. They’re not capturing the big picture in some transcendent behind-the-scenes look at parenting or family structures. But they do seem like good parents! Did you watch Modern Dads? And do you agree?
