Stories like this give me some hope in desperate times; that the world is not full of evil people out for their own personal satisfaction.

Yes, there is so much good. It just gets less airtime than all the nasty stuff. But out there, in the every day, there are so many people just being good and kind. <3

All this storm and fuss. How many Muslim children every year end up with Christian foster parents and nobody says a word?

Good story.

[elisi]

Exactly. Which is why stories like this are so important.

Also hi - I saw you had friended me, and love your long posts full of links. Sadly I only have time to check out a fraction...

It's a lot sometimes. Don't worry - especially when they're the depressing ones! Sometimes I figure the headline will do for msot people anyway.

Headlines are good. If I had all the time in the world, I'd be all over everything. But it's useful to have other people who try to read the whole internet!
