Sunday Inspiration. V.2

I almost forgot how happy this site makes me.

For those of you who don't know about the website...it's a place where people write small stories about what gives them hope. It's just like FML but for optimists. It is a really great website to visit if you are ever having a bummer day day. It makes you think about how beautiful life is and the people it is filled with.

Here are a few I found today that I love.

• " A boy was dying of cancer and needed an expensive brain surgery, but his family, broke and desperate, couldn't afford it. His 8 year old sister Tess took her piggy bank savings to a pharmacist in order to buy a 'miracle.' It just so happens that the right man witnessed the little girl's tears at the pharmacy counter: a neurosurgeon. He performed the surgery for free"
• "My little sister came home from school one day and demanded I take her to the library so she could get books on sign language. I asked why? She told me there was a new kid at school who was deaf and she wanted to befriend him. Today, I stood beside her at their wedding watching her sign..."I DO."
• "A week before my junior prom, my cousin died in a car accident. She had wanted a yellow prom dress, but the one she picked out was blue. I planted pink flowers in her memory (couldn't find yellow), but they died in the frost. They flowers re-budded and grew back yellow."

Here is a personal story of mine.

There was this girl I knew from one of my classes, she did not have very many friends, was extremely shy, and quite a unique person. I use to sit by her in my class and befriend her. She was telling me how she didn't know if she would go to our upcoming dance because no one asked her and how shes always wanted to go to a dance. When my date and I arrived to the dance I was surprised to see her there, she looked so lovely! During one of the slow dances I noticed she was standing alone and crying...she had no one to dance with. Our prom king from junior year asked her to dance, I can remember just how happy she looked.

Is anything inspiring to you on this Sunday?
