There is an awesome restaurant in Washington state. Anyone is welcome to come and eat, they’re even waited on, all without charge. At the end of the meal, diners can make a donation in any amount they choose. All money goes to helping less fortunate people in the town. Owners like that GMH.
My aunt had terminal brain cancer and the doctors told my uncle that he should buy a hospital bed to put in their home. His reply?
“I’ve never seen a hospital bed made for two.”
He was completely serious and that GMH.
My little sister can’t eat chocolate for health reasons. Every time a kid in her class at school brings in cakes containing chocolate to share for their birthday, the next day another girl in her class brings my sister a chocolate-free cupcake or some other sweet to make up for it. They are in 2nd grade. The selflessness of that little girl GMH.
As i was examining the latest styles in American Eagle, a more current selection of music than my grandparents’ usually listen to was played. I turned around fully expecting them to be sitting there staring into space, I saw two people dancing together in the middle of the store. Those people? My both over 70 grandparents. GMH
When we were little, my then-6-year-old brother found some money on the floor of the mall. He brought it to the saleslady and told her to give it to anyone that came looking for it.
It was just a penny.
His honesty GMH.
While doing homework on one of the university computers, I spied Sailor Moon manga on one of the others. It turned out to be a very large, imposing football player reading it.

I work in a little local shop and we don’t make a lot of money. Recently I had a lady come in and hand me $15. She then told me that she placed an order about a week ago and when she was rung up, they undercharged her and being a small business she wanted us to have the money. Her honesty GMH!
Today, I proposed to my girlfriend of four years in a nice restaurant. When she said yes, the entire restaurant stood up and applauded.
We’re both women.
Understanding of true love GMH.
There’s a really beautiful freshman in our school who a mentally challenged sophomore boy has a huge crush on. She got asked by at least 10 people to the winter formal dance, but she decided to go with the mentally challenged boy. Beautiful girls who are also beautiful inside GMH.
I work in a day nursery. One day, a little boy was on my lap crying. Another little boy came over and saw he was crying, so he went and brought him a toy and put it in his lap. A little girl then came over, ran off to get a tissue from the wall dispenser and wiped his nose herself. These children are 18 months. Their concern for others GMH.
Today when I walked into the student center at my college, there was a table raising money and awareness for victims of sexual assault on my campus. It was full of pamphlets with information on what to do if raped, and information on abusive relationships and ways to fight violence against women. The table was being run entirely by guys. GMH
Three months ago, my stepfather died. We had no money to pay for the funeral. We got a call from my stepfather’s ex-wife, of all people, saying that she would pay for the entire funeral and any other expenses. She flew all the way across the country to attend the funeral and help my mother. People like her GMH.
Today I found out about a 10-year-old boy who has been harrassed by his classmates because he refuses to say the Pledge of Allegiance. Why? He says that until gays and lesbians have equal rights, there isn’t really “liberty and justice for all”. Kids with the courage to stand up for their fellow human beings GMH.
I’m Jewish, so around the holidays, I feel a little left out, and I was always jealous of my friends decorating their houses and Christmas trees. My friend’s mom found out I had never decorated a Christmas tree, so she let me decorate a tree in their yard and called it my Hanukkah Bush, and left it up for weeks. Loving friends and their moms GMH
