If you can muddle through the infinite amount of silly, nonsensical, and downright vicious gah-bage that lives online, you can also find amazing examples of love if you want to. Like the kind of love that makes you appreciate love, even if they’re not in love yourself. This is one of those stories. 25-year-old Dale Monteith suffers from chronic myeloid leukemia, an aggressive cancer that attacks the blood. He went undiagnosed for five years and by the time he finally started getting treatment, the cancer had morphed into a force stronger than every attempt at medication, radiation, even five chemotherapies. Through all of the trial-and-errors and disappointments, his girlfriend, Jewell, was there to support him.

OMG
UFO Seen Over Haunted Barn Means Town Might Have Ghosts ... & Aliens (VIDEO)

Do you believe in UFOs? It's hard to believe that we'd be alone in this vast universe -- but it's also kind of hard to believe that aliens would be zipping around our skies without wanting to land and make themselves known on a wide scale. Maybe they're too smart for that? You can only imagine what would happen to the poor creatures. We'd have them on Good Morning America, the alien captain of the ship probably having to follow Kris Jenner talking about her latest book. Nobody wants that humiliation. But there have been so many UFO sightings over the years, often backed up by photos or video, that it's easy to think they must be out there somewhere. And indeed more photographic evidence has just presented itself. A woman taking a picture of a historic -- and haunted! -- barn in Santee, California just happened to capture what appears to be a mother ship from the planet Zor.

Feel free to scarf down a few burgers and hoist a few beers, but do me a favor and add at least one of these real Memorial Day traditions to the list:

A Georgia couple came home one night last week to find their home burglarized. Horrible enough, but the Hugheys were devastated to find the thieves had made off with more than just a few pieces of jewelry. Also missing: a silver box containing the ashes of their baby boy, Caleb Ean Hughey, whom they lost at birth in 2008.

Just when you think this story can't get any sadder, it does.

Jodi Arias Jury Foreman Reveals 'Gut-Wrenching' Details Behind the Deadlock (VIDEO)

The penalty phase of the Jodi Arias trial was declared a mistrial because the jury couldn't come to a unanimous decision on whether she should receive life in prison or the death penalty. If I were Jodi right about now I'd be thanking my lucky stars that whomever on the jury didn't want to give me the needle stood their ground! When the judge read the non-verdict, reportedly three women cried and one of them mouthed, "I'm sorry" to the family of Travis Alexander. I guess we know what team she was on. The jury foreman has also spoken out for the first time about what happened behind chamber doors -- and it's not what you'd expect.

Being dumped sucks. No one likes it. And yet we all experience it at least once. When it does happen, it's all up to us how we handle it. Some people go a little bonkers and begin stalking the dumper -- as if that will help matters. Others take it even further. Take Kayla Earl. The beautiful 19-year-old brunette says she's a model, and she's auditioning for America's Next Top Model. But beauty doesn't always mean you've got your head on straight -- and apparently Kayla doesn't. She was found by a sheriff's deputy passed out in a graveyard with a Walmart bag over her head. In the hospital, she said that a man had attacked her as she visited the grave of a friend. But it turns out the truth was even more sordid.
