Several weeks ago, I was contacted by Crista who had recently lost a treasured friend. She told me how amazing her friend was and how she’d found love late in life with her best friend Chris. K.B. and Chris had only been married a short time when K.B. passed away, but the thing that he…
. I am a 21 year old mother and I have an 18 month old son and a 4 year old stepson with one on the way. I work a part-time minimum wage job and my fiance is a contractor who is out of work from time to time, especially during winter and holidays. So…
. On New Year’s Day in 2011, I stopped in at a Catholic church in San Antonio. I was just sitting in a pew reflecting on who I am and what I believe, when I saw a young man walk up the main aisle and take his place in an empty pew nearer to the…
. Just before Christmas, my husband and I had a rare child free RDO. We were getting a Boost Juice before heading to the movies and there was a disabled person and his carer in line behind us. The young man tapped me on the shoulder and I turned around, realised what had happened and…

. We woke up this morning with the sound of rain bashing on our windows, none the less my son Shrihan was ready for a day of school. He seemed extra chirpy today so I knew it would be a good day! We catch the bus to school and get dropped off at a shopping…
. I went to the service station to put a little petrol in my car. At the next pump was a rundown car. In the front passenger seat was a woman, in the back, a young boy – probably the son of the woman and the man who stood at her open window abusing her….

.One day me and my brother went out to eat something late at night around 1 am to a restaurant. After we were done eating, we went to a mini market where all the small shops like pharmacies, small burger spots for all the poor people usually remain open through whole night. My brother went…
. An act of kindness I did today was that I went back to a restaurant that I visited on 1/31 and left a note and envelope with a large tip in the envelope for my server. When I was reconciling my bills this weekend, I realized that I completely miscalculated the tip on the…
. On Saturday the 25th of Jan (2014), I was in the office asking the supervisor for a job and while waiting, I spotted I bible which I grabbed and flicked through. Drop off the barbecue request for tomorrow (Australia Day) to the kitchen at camp, the supervisor said, passing me a piece of paper….
