Does anyone read that? It's similar to FML and MLIA, except it's inspirational tidbits instead of bad things or awesomely average things. Anywho, I just read one that made me tear up...

Quote:

Over the summer, this 6-year-old (and quite effeminate) boy attending the summer camp I worked at was telling me about his favourite hot pink sandals that he wears, given to him by his father. A father who can accept his little boy for who he is GMH.

I suggest anyone who is having a bad day check it out, it's truly an inspirational site.

I found this one lovely.

"The other day I saw a teenage girl walking down the sidewalk with a bag of pennies, stopping periodically to put one on the ground. When I asked her what she was doing she replied, "I want everyone to have good luck." She 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.

I'll have to read this site some more! FML always made me feel depressed after I read it...this one will do just the opposite.

My grandpa was suffering with cancer for several years after his heart transplant. In his last few days, my mom and her sisters stayed with him every night. One night his medication made him believe he was fishing in the toliet. My mom and aunts stayed up with him for hours catching fish. They GMH.

This is one of the sweetest things I've ever read

Stupid 15 minute thingy I meant to post this one

Quote:

I invited my crush to my house and was rejected. I called my best friend and told him what happened. Twenty minutes later, he called back and said "go outside". It was midnight and raining. I looked outside to see him soaking wet, shivering, and holding flowers. We are still together. His love GMH.

Thanks for sharing. It's a great site. I found a few posts that I really liked.

Quote:

Last night, over the phone, my friend told me he was considering suicide. I didn't know what else to do, so I sent him the link to GMH. He texted me this morning saying that he stayed up all night reading every post, and that he could never leave a world that contained such beauty. GMH GMH.

Jerry, high school janitor, took the time to know outcasts and struggling kids. He always had candy and kind words. One girl was struggling a lot. He made her a deal, if she graduated he would dye his hair pink. 3 years later she graduated. Our janitor now has pink hair. Doing more than your job GMH.

Quote:

Today was my little brother's birthday and he's been begging for a birthday party. The thing is, he's autistic and doesn't have any friends, but i couldn't tell him no. I told some of my friends about the situation, and they agreed to come spend the day with him. My friends are 17 year old boys. Their generous love for my little brother GMH.

Quote:

There was a kid at my high school who was a notorious truant. One day he stopped skipping and started attending regularly. Later, we found out he would visit his terminally ill friend in the hospital so he could be with him until the very end. He GMH.
