I read the most inspirational post on Facebook last week. In a nutshell the gentleman who posted indicated he was riding the bus on his usual day to day routine, but this day he sat next to a lady( a perfect stranger) who he cried and comforted. The woman was on her way to the hospital to visit her son who was seriously injured, however she was notified in transit of his passing. She and this gentleman where comforting and crying together the entire way to her stop in front of the hospital ….what an amazing story of humanity! It still gives me goose bumps… I am amazed at the compassion of this man to console a perfect stranger on what must have been the absolute worst moment of her life!

 

I strive to be a good person: caring and compassionate, but I am not sure if I could have done what this man did. I was humbled to read this post and to know this man…is only 17 years old. He is an amazing individual and when I grow up, I want to be just like him! I share this message with you, to inspire you…and encourage you, as I was both inspired and encouraged.
