I've known about FML (FMyLife.com) since my senior year of high school. I also stumbled across LGMH (Love Gives Me Hope), and now GMH (GivesMeHope.com). But today GMH is what has me writing today. It's depressing to admit that I'm surprised that people still act out in random acts of kindness. That some people still have it in them, after everything that goes on.
Do I think these people are crazy? Not in the least. THEY Give Me Hope.
But a fair warning, GivesMeHope.com will make you cry at LEAST once.
I've been sharing random posts on Facebook most of the day.
And so now I write this blog because of these posts.
Many of them are children saying and/or doing things that make everything better for someone.
A few of them, children go up to someone in uniform who is going to or returning home from the Military.
A few of the stories that choked me up:
"At work, I was ringing up a soldier that had just returned from Iraq. A man with his small son stepped into line behind him.
I While the soldier was getting out his wallet, the man stepped forward and paid for the soldier's items. Then told his son that's what heroes look like.
Great fathers GMH"
"I was at the airport and soldiers were boarding a plane to Iraq.
A little boy, about five, went up to one of the men and said, "When you're over seas, can you tell my mom I love her?
She's in the army like you, but daddy said she's not coming home, so can you tell her for me?"
His love GMH"

Now I've never had the courage to go up to someone in Military uniform and shake their hand and say 'ThankYou". But these men and women have the courage to go out and fight for their country, when I can't overcome a simple case of stage fright?
