Farewell To A Fair Lady
By Okechukwu Okugo
Heartmenders Magazine is condoling with the Bush family, extended and nuclear, as well as with the entire nation on the irreparable loss of America's 41st First Lady, Barbara Bush, wife of George H.W. Bush.
She was born in New York. The mother of six children among whom are George W. Bush (Jr.), a former U.S. president and Jeb Bush, a former governor of Florida. She was survived by about 14 grandchildren and 7 great-grandchildren.
Barbara served the American people, in and outside the country, involved in charities, and at one time, volunteered at a hospice.
She died in Houston on April 17th and was buried Saturday, April 21, 2018, in Houston Texas at the age of 92.
Apart from the many awards and the school named after her, she was better immortalized by her good works in charity and her literacy programs.
To Pa George H. W. Bush, we say, be strong. And to the nation and family, we say take heart in her memorable and good legacies and shining examples.

By Okechukwu Okugo Is there any condition one can find oneself in life and it is justified to give up? Can something really ugly be turned into a thing of celebration? Before you answer here is the story of Godfrey Baguma who has been dubbed the ugliest man in Uganda. To start with, Godfrey was born normal until a rare unknown medical condition transfigured his face totally. Despite his condition he went ahead to marry one of the prettiest ladies in Uganda, his second wife after he divorced his first wife due to infidelity. Godfrey Baguma, 47, from Kyazanga in Lwengo District in Uganda met his second wife, Kate Namanda, 30, as a deformed man when Kate was 18 years old. But in 2013 they wedded. And recently he fathered his 8th child, an adorable daughter. Two of his children were from his first marriage while six are from his present union. His first child from Kate came in 2008. Despite a condition many would take as one

The Beipanjiang Bridge took three years to build, cost more than $146.7 million dollars, and stretches to be 4,396 feet long. Its four-lane roadway sits nearly two thousand feet over the Beipan River, which it's named after, to connect the Yunnan and Guizhou provinces in southwest China, People's Daily Online reported. It surpassed the 1,837-foot-tall Sidu River Bridge for its world record title. We know what you're thinking: $146.7 million is cheap! And it is! After all, when the Golden Gate Bridge spanning San Francisco Bay was built in 1933 it cost $1.5 billion (in adjusted dollars), and the brand new New Bay Bridge, on the other side of town, ended up costing a whopping $6.7 billion when it was finished in 2013. The Beip
By Okechukwu Okugo Jaxon Buell of Florida, was born with a very uncommon condition diagnosed as Microhydranencephaly. He was born with some part of his brain and skull totally missing. And there is no known cause or no known cure. As a matter of fact, because of the rarity of his case, doctors gave him a few weeks to live on earth. Defying all odds and proving all doctors' prognosis wrong, this adorable baby has lived more than a year and 2 months. His mom, Brittany Buell told WTLV, as reported in Yahoo! Parenting: "We never thought he would make it through the pregnancy, let alone months and let alone making it to his first birthday, so for him to reach that milestone is a humongous deal...I think the doctors thought he would only make it a few weeks. They sent me home with hospice, and he was thriving in my eyes, so I cancelled hospice within two or three days of being home." The doctors had previously ruled in their diagnosis that Jaxon would never walk, ta
