_ochre  just showed me this site, www.givesmehope.com/. Its like the FML website, but for the positive and happy moments that give you hope. So in the midst of so many negative happenings that we see in the news each day, with the most recent big news being the deaths of Michael Jackson and Farrah Fawcett, this website is a refreshing change that indeed, gives me hope. :D

"During college, I worked at a coffee shop in New Orleans. The morning shift started at 6 am. A coworker lived off campus and waited for the streetcar ~5:30 am (before sunrise). One morning, she waited with a man for 10-15 mins. As the streetcar arrived, she asked if he was getting on, and he said "No, I was just making sure you were safe." GMH."

"Exactly 8 months ago my grandpa lost his battle with cancer. By the end he couldn't talk and wouldn't respond to any of us. A few moments before he took his last breath, he looked at my grandma and said clear as day "I love you". They were married 51 years. GMH!!"

"I rode the subway and ended up forgetting my purse and realizing it as the train sped away. I went to go talk to someone about it but no one could find it and I didn't have money to get back on the train so I started crying. That's when the janitor came over and handed me enough money to get home."

"I just read an amazing article about a little girl with cancer whose dying wish was to see Up! She was too sick to attend the theatre. Upon hearing this, Pixar sent over a staffer with gifts and a DVD. She couldn't open her eyes, so her mom described it. She passed away that night after seeing it. GMH."

"I was on the edge yesterday. I felt broken like no matter what we do we can not get ahead. I just set down on the floor and started crying. My two year old son came up to me, wiped the tears from my face and told me it would be ok. He smiled and kissed me. He gave me the strength to get back up because we may not have much, but we have love. GMH"
