A bruise is what happens when small blood vessels burst underneath your skin’s surface, causing the blood to spill out from the capillaries and form a puddle just underneath the skin (as opposed to when you cut yourself and the blood pours out).

Michael J. Fox, the talented actor, is not only famous for his roles in movies but also for being a proud father.
He has four children with his wife of over 30 years, Tracy Pollan. In an interview with Reader’s Digest, Fox jokingly said that sometimes it feels like he has five children instead of four!
One thing that Fox believes in is always being available for his kids. He shared his parenting advice, saying that if you ask your kids to give you a few minutes before listening to them, those minutes can turn into 15 or 20, and by then, the moment may have passed. He always makes an effort to be there for his children and it has never failed him.
Despite being diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease in 1991, Fox has always been there for his kids. In a 2009 interview, he talked about how they have learned empathy, resilience, and the ability to prioritize what’s truly important in life.
