I was talking with this little girl I used to babysit for before I started college. I explained to her that I'd be gone for a while and would only see her when I came home for vacations. She said, "So you'll be gone for the whole year except summer and holidays?" I nodded. Then she said, "So you're going to Hogwarts?" GMH

Last summer I was working as an assistant wedding photographer in California during the brief period when gay couples could marry there. While working a wedding at the San Fransisco City Hall, I watched two old men in tuxedos help each other up the stairs in order to finally get married after over 30 years together. GMH.

One day, I was walking in the mall with my friends when the lady in front of us turns around and says to me "You have on the cutest outfit today." Smiles then returns talking on her cell phone. The part that gets me the most is that she stopped dead in conversation just to give me a compliment. The world needs more people like her. GMH.

I used to work as a restaurant hostess. One day, a gentleman came in, obviously hung over, and asked me to find a particular server for him. Turns out he'd had a lavish dinner, drank too much wine, and woke up the next morning realizing he hadn't tipped well. He drove back just to give his server an envelope full of cash. GMH

A couple of years ago, when I was a sophomore in high school, I went on my very first date. When the door bell rang my mom got up to go answer the door, but my brother told her that he wanted to do it. When he opened the door he told my date that if anything happened to me that he would personally beat him up. He was only 11 years old. His love GMH

I suffer from severe depression. I try to keep that part of me away from friends because I'm worried they'll judge me for it. After revealing this to a dear friend via email, he went silent. I went to bed feeling worse than ever. Early the next morning, there was a knock at the door. He had driven all night to see me, just to give me a hug. 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

I lost a very special necklace given to me by my 17 yo. boyfriend. I felt sick over it as it was so sentimental. Months later, my boyfriend found it in the cushion of our sofa. Only years later did I discover that he had saved up money to have an identical replica made so he could 'find it' for me and I would no longer feel so bad. That memory GMH

My mother was told to abort my sister, as she'd "probably be a vegetable, mute, confined to a wheelchair." She said no. Today, my sister is one of the top golfers in the Special Olympics, and has been to the White House to speak about rights for special-needs adults. Their determination GMH.

my parents fight a lot, but the other day i found them slow dancing in the kitchen. it GMH

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!

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.

A teenager held the door for me as I entered a restaurant to pick up dinner. His order was the same as mine, and his was finished just as I placed mine. They said mine would take another half an hour. The teenager gave me his and said he'd wait, then held the door for me again on the way out. GMH.

A few years ago, I attended Ball State University. I saw a guy dressed in a strange manner, riding a motorized scooter shouting 'Happy Friday!' to everyone up and down the main drag while handing out candy. I thought he was just some fraternity pledge until he returned every Friday. It turns out he did it just to see people smile. He GMH.

Saw this on FML: "Today, I went to buy lunch at a grocery store. The total was 3 pounds, and my card got rejected for insufficient funds. I fished about for change, and found I only had 2 pounds. A homeless man behind me in the queue then offered to give me the remaining pound. A homeless man paid my lunch. FML"

FML?? GMH!

Today at the supermarket I saw a middle-aged man looking at tampons. He had a box of chocolates in the other hand. Guys like that GMH.
