View Full Version : Heartwarming/inspitational pictures/stories...
...there are lots of great pics/stories, both 'real life' experiences and things you have read on the internet and they probably deserve their own thread..
..in the days when the media so often only seem to report only the bad stuff..
..anyway, just a place for any pics or stories you may have....

Someone sat there, noticing how sad and lonely the graves of the babies were and decided it was time for a change..they promised to go back in a few days and give them all flowers... and couldn't wait to do it...
...then went straight to the store, bought a bunch of flowers and made sure every baby grave had one. In their words "I know I said I'd do it in a few days but all the baby graves looked so sad. I brought all of them rainbow daisies and they all got two. They look so much warmer now. Just letting them know they're loved."....

In what was described as the town’s first gay marriage, Tshepo Modisane and Thoba Sithole, both 27, walked down the aisle in front of 200 guests at the Stanger Siva Sungam community hall.
The wedding was a jubilant, exciting affair, attracting even uninvited members of the local community.
Thoba, a Joburg-based IT specialist, is from Shakaville, KwaDukuza and Tshepo an audit manager at PwC. They have known each other for years and dated on and off, before stabilising their relationship.
Now that they are wedded, they will take on the double-barrelled surname of Sithole-Modisane.
The couple appeared to enjoy the support from the community, family and friends.

...yeah. you're right, I think most people do..other things as well though...just general selflessness...with me, I'm reminded of that time most days because of the job that I do and I know many people say, oh children are horrible, type thing...and I guess anyone, whether child or adult can be that..we're all balanced with good and bad and not perfect but there is also so many amazing and incredible things about them because of how innocent they are...

Hannah Stonehouse Hudson spent an afternoon snapping photographs of her friend John and his 19-year-old dog, Schoep. John rescued Schoep as a puppy and watched his health deteriorate as he reached doggy senior citizenship. Schoep now suffers from arthritis and John has found that taking a dip in the local lake helps ease the pooch’s pain.

Didn't think to put it here Ammi, a much better fit.
"I was just at a piano bar in NYC and it was closing down when the bartender stepped up to the mic and did this," wrote Cody Littlewood on Reddit, linking to an emotional video of bartender Joe Ardizzone performing a cover of the song "Creep" by Radiohead at Brandy's Piano Bar on Manhattan's Upper East Side.
Ardizzone's voice is impressive, but it's the feeling he seems to put into the performance that really makes this one a keeper.

This is kinda long and taken from another site. It's about Alex Rockwell, you probably have never heard of her, but her story is sad and at the same time inspiring.
http://i.imgur.com/yt5eahL.png
My name is Alexandria Rockwell
http://i.imgur.com/dMdbDW6.png
I'm a 17 year-old high school graduate
http://i.imgur.com/GpppBPf.png
I love to do a lot of things
http://i.imgur.com/3Btpmz4.png
Laugh, read, write, especially eat.
http://i.imgur.com/rVVJSJd.png
But, there's one thing I REALLY love to do
http://i.imgur.com/RKN8EHb.png
Inspire others
http://i.imgur.com/Q2z4sDD.jpg
That is something I believe Alex really did. Alex Rockwell was born with Cystic Fibrosis. For people that don't know what that is, Cystic fibrosis is a disease passed down through families that causes thick, sticky mucus to build up in the lungs, digestive tract, and other areas of the body. It is one of the most common chronic lung diseases in children and young adults. It is a life-threatening disorder.
http://i.imgur.com/LwtCz26.jpg
Alex had always been a constant fighter, whether she was in her hospital bed
http://i.imgur.com/JXhbPnu.png
Accessing ports
http://i.imgur.com/QFdtDVM.jpg
taking her daily pills,
http://i.imgur.com/2W4nZ6l.jpg
or sleeping on the job.
http://i.imgur.com/oc12N6Fh.jpg
Cystic Fibrosis may be a struggle,
http://i.imgur.com/PTvFRYT.jpg
but Alex had never let it take over her life.
http://i.imgur.com/ifmbcdh.png
She wouldn't go down without a fight.
http://i.imgur.com/uQAcRcf.jpg
When Alex wasn't at the hospital, she was your regular teenager for the most part. She had lways had a cooky sense of fashion, but she always made it work.
http://i.imgur.com/pgi04F7h.jpg
She was obsessed with gummy worms
http://i.imgur.com/eKZ3B6z.png
She loved shooting arrows
http://i.imgur.com/8y1U8Ui.png
And she'd love to goof around
http://i.imgur.com/XHx1x1D.jpg
Sadly, however, on April 26, 2013, Alex Rockwell lost her fight. She died at the University of Michigan's hospital around 3am.
http://i.imgur.com/HbPUYYv.jpg
She gave Cystic Fibrosis one hell of a fight
http://i.imgur.com/W576tRkh.jpg
And touched hundreds of peoples hearts
http://i.imgur.com/NOiUtBG.jpg
I know not many of you will really care about this, or even read, but I feel that Alex will always be inspiring myself and others for the rest of eternity. Breathe easy, Alex.
http://i.imgur.com/FnXOGbZ.png
So yes, I do love to inspire, and I can
http://i.imgur.com/zm9Ecrj.png
But here's the thing
http://i.imgur.com/btO8310.png
It's not because of this illness
http://i.imgur.com/IzqYgx4.png
Tubes of oxygen, IV antibiotics, and nebulizers could easily hold me back
http://i.imgur.com/sOrURHF.png
But I won't stay down
http://i.imgur.com/do3JlUS.png
I will cry, become lost and pissed off, & I'll want to give up at times
http://i.imgur.com/XcQBGQI.png
I will smile, become stronger and wiser, and I will fight through it all
http://i.imgur.com/5s95fuI.png
No matter what!
http://i.imgur.com/adqJ4ef.png
I may not be cured, but I already beat this disease
http://i.imgur.com/fbdPqmV.png
My name is Alexandria Rockwell
http://i.imgur.com/K0Jkw9C.png
I have Cystic Fibrosis, but it doesn't, and never will, have me.

that's heartbreaking.
I know, I was in tears by the end. Things we take for granted were such a struggle for her, and instead of feeling sorry for herself she wanted to be a role model in a way and inspire others.
My friend's mum lost a sister to cystic fibrosis, it's a truly awful condition...

I've only really started looking into it after I read about Alex, I also found out that because so many children get it, and since they find the name of CF difficult to pronounce. It's kinda also known as 65 Roses (it kinda sounds like it).
And so the rose has become a symbol for the illness.
