I really needed to see this right about now ........

For the last hour or so I've been glued to reports about Florida/Irma. The suffering and fear were/are bad enough to see but then I went to the Twitter Irma thread and was sickened by the Trumpists/nutjobs posting racist things. By the pictures/videos of the abandoned pets. By the self serving politicians posting their crocodile tears. I was just about done in with sadness and disgust with the human race, I HAD to get away! ...... Then...... well then my first page after leaving all that horridness I saw this :

....and my faith in humanity was restored, at least to a certain extent. If we as a species can produce little girls like this then maybe, just MAYBE we do have some redeeming values. You GO little Amiah ! You'll never know but you helped more than your classmate(s) with your selfless actions. You helped an old cynical man smile and feel good about humanity again. At least for awhile. Thank you
