Freshman year, there was a crippled girl bound to a wheelchair. For 4 years, she did physical therapy and progressed to crutches. When we graduated a few weeks ago, she handed her crutches to an officer and walked across the entire stage. The applause from the seniors was deafening. She cried the whole way. GMH

A boy was dying of cancer and needed an expensive brain surgery, but his family, broke and desperate, couldn't afford it. His 8 yr old took 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.

I woke up one morning to hear the birds outside my window and my mother cooking breakfast downstairs. I've never cried so much in my entire life. I had been deaf since the age of 8.

A few months ago, I was at dinner with friends, and we ended up having an emotional talk (mostly about my self-esteem issues) and I cried for about half of dinner. When I got the receipt, the stunning waitress had written something across the top: "You're even beautiful when you cry." GMH

A few years ago, I was out with my gorgeous best friend, feeling like the most ugly girl in the room. Sensing this, an elderly gentleman won a stuffed animal from the crane machine, comes over and says "a stuffed animal for the prettiest girl in the room." I still feel like it. GMH.

I was biking down a busy street when I saw all the cars stop. When I looked back, I saw a mother duck and her babies crossing: every single car had stopped to let them pass. And every driver looked so happy, no one mad about being cut off. If we can show this much care to the earth's littlest creatures, imagine what we can do for each other. GMH

A little girl was diagnosed with cancer before her 1st birthday. At age 4, she had a dream to raise $1 million for cancer research and chose a lemonade stand to make her dream a reality. Now, over $25 million has been raised in honor of Alex Scott (1996-2004). AlexsLemonade.org GMH.

Today, I took a stroll through Manhattan, and I saw a man put a quarter in a parking meter. He then put a quarter in every parking meter that needed time on it so they wouldn't get towed. GMH

From ABC News: A customer used the drive through at a Starbucks in Moline, IL over the weekend. That person paid for his or her drink and the order of the person in the next car. That started a chain reaction of people paying for the next customer's drinks. Before it was all over, 160 customers took part! GMH

When I was 15 I tried to kill myself by taking an entire bottle of pills. I went and laid on the top bunkbed so that I could die and then I heard my baby brother laugh. I used all my strength to fall off my bunkbed so that someone would hear it and find me. I am now 29 with a college degree and newly married. My baby brother GMH.

During WWII, my friend's grandpa was captured and tortured, but he refused to reveal his mission. The japanese said if he didn't spill, they would kill the other five captured men. He wouldn't budge. He escaped, but he had to live with their blood on his hands. 25 years later, he found out they all lived. Not a single one talked. GMH

I'm a 17 year old male that has spent the last 4 years working through anorexia. Yesterday, I had a large order of French Toast with eggs and bacon for breakfast, a cheese burger and French fries for lunch, and a steak with mashed potatoes and corn for dinner. I have never felt so attractive. GMH

Exactly 8 months ago my grandpa lost his battle with cancer. By the end he couldn't talk and wouldn't respond to any of us. A few moments before he took his last breath, he looked at my grandma and said clear as day "I love you". They were married 51 years. GMH!!

I was at the store and I saw a really attractive guy in his twenties in a wheelchair. Just as I was thinking how terrible it was that someone so attractive had to lead such a different life and depend on others...he held the door open for me.

There are two kids at Purdue University who stand on a corner and smile, laugh, and compliment every person who walks by. They say the SWEETEST things and they brighten everyone's days! :) People like that GMH!

Today, I was in the fitting room at Forever 21. I looked in the mirror, worrying that the dress I had on made me look fat. To the right of the mirror, someone wrote "Don't worry. You're beautiful. :)" It absolutely made my day!

When I was 11 years old, about a month before my dad passed, he was almost completely paralyzed and the doctors we sure he would never be able to speak again. Just out of the blue, he said my name. They called me and put him on the phone, and he said he loved me three times. GMH.

After months of reading FML, I recently discovered GMH. Everyday I began my daily visit of sites, first FML then GMH. Today I realized I visited GMh without even thinking of FML. GMH.

(Editor's Note: Read the two BELOW this, first. We've gotten several of these!)

Today, we had school photos. I went to the bathroom and amazingly, it was empty. I pulled out my lipstick, and wrote 'You're beautiful :)' on a mirror. Another girl came in, walking towards the mirror I had written on, and pulled out her lip gloss. She then noticed the message and just grinned and left. I almost cried, it made my day. GMH

My Mom was just diagnosed with a brain tumor. 4 days after her first chemo session, she got my name right...for the first time in 2 months. GMH.

After what I thought was a disastrous haircut, I went home feeling down. When my brother came home, he immediately exclaimed "i love your hair!" He even took a picture of it and set it as his wallpaper. I can't remember the last time he ever gave me a compliment. GMH

I work as a receptionist at a dentist's office and we have to deal with people taking their anger out on us. Today a woman yelled at us for ten minutes and it was awful .However, our next patient came with cheesecake from the Cheesecake Factory. He said he bought it just for us because were are the best receptionist staff he's ever met and it GMH!

Today, a young boy came through my checkout line at work to buy a present for his brother's birthday. He rode his bike a mile and a half to get to the store and spent every last dollar he had. After the boy had told me all that, the lady behind him in line gave him a five dollar bill and told him there needed to be more brothers like him. GMH.

This spring, I helped out at my school's prom, monitoring the voting for prom queen and king. When the winners were announced, they came as no surprise. A very popular girl, and Shane, who had been surrounded by the prettiest girls all night. Oh, but Shane? He has Down Syndrome. My generation GMH.
