3 years ago, I was at my grade 8 dance. A boy in our school named Brian (who has Williams' syndrome) asked a popular girl at our school to dance . Her and her friends began to laugh at him, and then said no. He then went to the corner of the gym to dance by himself. I then saw another girl in my class go up and ask him to dance. They did. GMH

I work in a bank - a place where good news is hard to come by recently: Today I spoke with a gentleman who told me he needed to know how much money he had. When I asked if he had a large purchase coming up, he said yes. "I'm buying clothes for the man who asks me for a quarter every day on my way to school," he replies. This gentleman was 12. GMH

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.

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 little girl was dying of cancer and her younger brother had a match for the bone marrow she needed. The doctors told him it was a matter of life and death. After he had the surgery, he asked the doctors how long he had to live. He thought if he gave his bone marrow to let his sister live he would die but he did it anyway. GMH

I was at a bookstore and an obscure author was doing a book signing. Nobody was coming over--he looked dejected. Then three teenagers came over, got his autograph & took pictures with him. It looked like it made his day. Later, I talked to them and they said they had never read his books. GMH

I found this website tonight, and I was feeling lower than low. I just can't get over this one girl, who just doesn't see me yet. Its a bit pathetic but all the same. Thank God I found this site, it made me cry almost, its beautiful. I cannot thank whoever created this enough. GivesMeHope.com GMH.

I was sick and couldn't sleep and was afraid that I was keeping my husband awake. I told him that I would sleep in the living room since he had to go to work in the morning. He picked up my blankets and pillows and joined me in the living room because he didn't want me to sleep alone. HIs love GMH.

we are NOT a lost generation and WE can change the world! GMH!

Yesterday, while driving from LaPorte, IN to Chicago, my three friends and I spent the entire hour-long drive smiling and waving enthusiastically at every car that passed us. It was fun, and we sure made a lot of people smile. GMH

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

Today, I woke up and my wife was more beautiful than I'd ever seen her. We've been married 15 years. GMH

Dads like this exist. GMH

Cancer claimed my daughter's life 3 years ago. Just a few weeks ago I attended what would have been her high school graduation. When the valedictorian and salutatorian, her friends, rose to give their speech, tears poured down my face. They dedicated their graduation to my daughter. GMH.

Today, while at work a young boy (about 5) and his father came through my register. The dad scolded him for touching everything saying that the lady would call the cops and they'd both get sent to jail. He grinned up at his dad and said 'If we're in jail we can play together everyday!' His innocence GMH.

Today, I found GMH. After reading all the heartwarming stories, I walked into my room, and tore my suicide journal to shreds. I'm shaking out of happiness. 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

Every 1000 bottle caps my friends mom collects, a 4 year old girl gets a free round of chemo. While i was at my brothers baseball game, collecting bottle caps, 3 little boys asked me what i was doing. They went around to every trash can, not caring what was in them & got bottle caps. We ended up with over 1500 caps. Their generation GMH.

Tupac was wrong. GMH (Editor's Note: Famous lyric from the song 'Changes': "And although it seems heaven sent We ain't ready, to see a black President")

I was in Santa Fe and about to pay a parking meter when a woman gave me her ticket which still had time left on it, she said that she always pays the maximum amount and then passes the unused time onto another person about to park. And if there is no one there she sticks it to the meter for the next parker. Now I do this too. 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

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

Today in the Walmart parking lot I saw an older couple, not exactly what you would call fit, leaving the store. The woman was carrying a bag and the man leaned over and took it from her. Thats when I saw him whisper something in her ear. Suddenly she broke into a run, as did he. She won the race to the truck. Her prize was a kiss. GMH.

The homosexual boy in my senior class was not harassed, bashed, or mocked for his sexuality. As a matter of fact at our senior prom he was voted prom king AND prom queen, and he received a standing ovation from our entire class as he cat walked across every foot of the stage. GMH!

Two weeks before my senior prom and graduation I was attacked by a dog and had a huge chunk of my top lip missing. I was so upset and didn't even want to go to prom looking like that. My friends encouraged me to go and when the limousine picked me up they all had matching bandages on their mouths. They kept them on all night. GMH.

I have wished for a pony every 11:11 since I was 10 years old. At first because I wanted one so badly, later because I didn't want to accept the fact that 11:11 doesn't actually work. Yesterday I came back from a final and there was a rocking horse in the middle of my room from my suitemates. 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!

At the grocery store I work at, a young lady with a baby just got done scanning her cartfull or groceries, but both of her cards were denied and she had no cash. She quietly asked to have them put back, when the man behind her said 'I'll pay for them' and smiled. They were total strangers. GMH

Last year, a couple days before xmas, I was babysitting a 5 year old girl and a 3 year old boy. The girl really wanted to make cookies, but I said we could only make one batch because otherwise there would be too many. She said 'that's ok, we can give them to the homeless people, they like cookies, right?' - And that's exactly what we did. GMH

My great grandmother is one hundred years old and still lives in her own home. She is my inspiration. GMH

Three generations graduated from a University on the same day. 1) A girl, 21, who raised a child while in school. 2) Her mom, 42, took classes part-time for 7 years while raising a family and working two jobs. 3) her grandma, who works full time, and went back to school after raising 6 kids. All had high GPAs. All 3 plan to pursue master's degrees. GMH!

One of my best friends mother was murdered two weeks ago on the night of my friends prom. I never imagend she would get all the support that she has gotten. She is not a popular person in school. We graduated one week ago and she received a standing ovation from the crowd. It lasted 10 minutes. 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!

I just read an amazing article about a little girl with cancer whose dying wish was to see Up! She was too sick to attend the theatre. Upon hearing this, Pixar sent over a staffer with gifts and a DVD. She couldn't open her eyes, so her mom described it. She passed away that night after seeing it. GMH.

Once, I was in the emergency room with severe stomach pain. I never cry in public, but I was in such pain I couldn't help just sobbing. I watched as patient after patient went in ahead of me. After about an hour, a man sitting near me was called for his turn. He took one look at me, shook his head and said 'she can go ahead of me'. GMH

In San Fran this little girl decided she wanted to help feed the homeless. She set a goal of raising $1000. The San Fransico Food bank "told her several agencies had pledged to provide $9 in food for every $1 donated to the food bank". She eventually raised $3736, which equalled $33,624 worth of food or 17,971 meals. She's only 5 & in preschool.GMH

Today is my birthday. A couple months ago I was attacked by a dog that left horrendous scars on my face. My boyfriend made a book that says "You're the most beautiful thing I have ever seen" in over 100 different languages. GMH

A girl I went to high school with was diagnosed with Leukimia her Junior year. She lost all of her hair due to the chemotherapy and was pretty upset about it. One day, eight of her closest friends came to school with shaved heads, saying it was just hair, and who cared - bald is the new in. GMH

I was recently working at a nursery school where I saw a 3 year old girl wearing tights on her head. One of my colleagues told me it was because some of the children had been making fun of her bald head. She had had chemotherapy. I later saw one young boy of about 4 go over to her, tell her she was beautiful and remove the tights. GMH x

I have an eating disorder, many times i would binge and cry after that, i had tried purging once but didn't succeed. I am lost and don't know what to do, i feel suicidal. But when i came to this site and read it, i feel a tinge of hope in me again. Tomorrow will be a new start. GMH.

I met a girl with terminal cancer when I was in the hospital as a child. I cut off a piece of my hair and she smiled and taped it to her hairless head. She then continued to giggle and declare, "I will be the most beautiful princess in Heaven!" To this day her courage still GMH!

Today, I saw a boy asking an elderly lady if he could help carry her groceries to her car. He was 7. GMH.

Today on the bus, a man got up to give an old woman his seat. He was even older than she was. He GMH

Watching the news I heard about an SUV that had caught fire, inside was a mom and her two young children. They all survived with fairly minor burns. The only reason they made it was because everyone who saw the fire rushed to help and break down all the windows and pull them out, before the firemen could even arrive.

Every year, the graduating 8th grade class votes for superlatives. The teachers add up the votes. When 'Jordan A' was announced for Most Inspirational, teachers were in tears to see our entire class who never get along, give a standing ovation. He died in a fire in fourth grade and we still consider him part of our class.

Today, I went on an airplane by myself for the first time. I have an extreme fear of heights and I'm only 15. As the flight was about to take off a flight attendant noticed i was shaking and gripping the seat. She took the empty seat next to me and held my hand until we were safely in the air and then brought me a brownie. People like her GMH.

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

Today I was feeling really upset and out of no where I started to cry. When my little three year old brother saw me crying, he quickly ran to the refrigerator and gave me one of his juice boxes. My little brother showed me that there is kindness in the world. GMH.

My grandmother is in the hospital, and has been for the last few months. Every morning, my grandfather wakes up, and drives to the hospital to sit with her, even if it's just to touch her leg to reassure her he's still there. He spends all day there, and I've overheard nurses say how they wish they could have a husband like that. Love GMH

The other day, I went to the grocery store to pick up a few things. While walking through the parking lot, I noticed a man stand on his shopping cart, and give a few good pushes before jumping on. He smiled and laughed the entire way, loving life. He was about 50 and wearing a business suit. GMH.

A few years ago I was living with my best friend, he was very into the way he looked but everywhere he went with me he walked around with a studded belt around his forehead, so people wouldn't just stare at me in my halo brace GMH

A few months ago, I went to a pre-school to help some teachers out with the kids. I had just broken up with my boyfriend, and I was really down the whole day. But then one little boy gave me a drawing of the house we would live in when he married me. He told me he loved me. GMH.

My family & I got seperated in New York City when I was little. Scared, I sat crying on the sidewalk as tons of people passed by. A homeless man picked me up, comforted me, & carried me to a police officer, who found my parents. He had a long beard & I asked if he was Jesus. He laughed so hard he cried. He GMH.

Yesterday, I finally admitted to my best friend that I have been self-harming for six years now. Telling her was the hardest thing I've ever had to do. Today, I came to school to see 20 of my friends with "Love" written on their arms to show me how much they cared and that they were there to support me through my recovery. Love & Friendship GMH.
