A few months ago, one of my best childhood friends died of cancer. Devastated, I called my closest friend, and although he had to study for midterms, I talked to him the phone for almost an hour. About half an hour after we hung up, he showed up at my door out of the blue. A teenager biking 15 km in the pouring rain at 10pm on a weeknight GMH - GivesMeHope

*** Random LoveGivesMeHope Story ***

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.
