Too early for tears, but....

What wonderful people.

8. agree

especially when you read special needs and cops in the same headline. I was afraid it would go very different

13. So was I--and that says way too much about the way cops all too often interact

with people who do not fit into a very narrow definition of acceptable.

10. There are really good people out there...

I tend to be a bit of a cynic, but life has taught me something over and over again. There are a lot of good people out there.

While the wealthy and powerful are usually as awful as they seem the regular citizens...well, they often have big hearts.

This lady has one of the biggest hearts. May the powers of the universe bless her for her kindness.

This story warms my heart. Oh, and how the trumpers hate those overpaid teachers.😥

15. I had a hard time watching the video.

There are onions cooking nearby - yeah, it's the onions.

Thank God for this fine lady. I'm just proud to be the same species.

[demigoddess]

23. thank god for this lady. I have a handicapped child, and the

siblings say they won't care for her when we are dead. He was lucky, so much worse could have happened.

16. There are good people everywhere. From small towns to booming metroplexes,

There are people quietly making differences, often without recognition or glory. Sadly, one reason we don’t hear or read more about these heroes is because of the assholes who take all the oxygen out of the room. But when things get to be too much and your hope is running out, remember the mostly unsung heroes. They’re around us every day and for that, I’m grateful.

28. Teachers are wonderful.

And while I've never been one, I fervently hope that if someone in my past with such needs were to recall my name, that I'd immediately do what I could to help.

In all honesty, it wouldn't work out for someone to live with me for very long, but I could certainly do a lot towards helping someone live in a new place. That said, I wouldn't just abandon someone I'd taken in.
