#287; to rid yourself of vanities and just go with the seasons

In the hospital, I passed Cynthia's room, a baby girl with cancer.
Due to her family living far away and having no car, she's spent most of the past year getting treatment alone in the hospital. Tonight, I passed her room and her dad lay in her bed rocking her to sleep. He walked across town just to kiss her goodnight.

4 years ago my best friend died due to gang violence.
He wasn't part of a gang; I was. He saved my life. At his funeral his mother came up to me. Rather then blaming me, she told me she thought I had a lot of potential. I now live a violence free life and I'm in college.
My best friend Carlito GMH
I met a 16 year old genius who was in medical school, studying to be a pediatric neurosurgeon.
He put every dollar he made at his job into a retirement fund. Why? He wanted to be able to retire at age 30, so that he could spend the rest of his life performing brain surgeries for free.
His philanthropy GMH.
About a year ago,I had a party at my house.
I was a little nervous about having people come over because my younger brother has autism and bipolar mania.
When my little brother wanted to come in to tell my friends about Pokemon,all the others told him to leave. Then my best friend stood up and took him to another room to talk about Pokemon. She GMH.
