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 - GivesMeHope - FML for Optimists!

*** Random LGMH Story ***

On the last day of school, one of the quietest girls in my grade approached one of the most outspoken boys.

She handed him a piece of paper and started to walk away. He stopped her and kissed her full on the lips.

We all found out later it was an amazing sketch of the boy accompanied by a note asking him out.

Her courageous love GMH
