    With all the sad news lately I thought I'd post this bit of good/positive news.

    http://www.aol.com/article/2015/09/30/photo-of-boys-heartwarming-gesture-towards-blind-deer-goes-vira/21242997/?ncid=txtlnkusaolp00000058&intcmp=hplnws

    Photo of boy's heartwarming gesture towards blind deer goes viral[

    Oh, deer.

    There are some seriously good people in this world. And now one boy's touching act towards an animal is going viral.

    A http://imgur.com/1SAeoTU photo shared to https://www.reddit.com/r/aww/comments/3musjd/there_is_a_blind_deer_in_our_neighborhood_and/ Reddit shows a boy leading a blind deer to a patch of grass so it can eat breakfast.

    The 10-year-old reportedly walks the blind deer from one patch of grass to another every morning before school to make sure the doe finds food.

    Reddit user https://www.reddit.com/user/bluecollarclassicist bluecollarclassicist commented that he took the photo after seeing the boy's touching gesture towards the deer. He said his wife has called the local wildlife rescue facility who made plans to bring the docile animal to a forest preserve.

    However, he noted, "I wish I could do something for the kid. He's probably going to miss her."

    The Reddit user also said that the boy showed extreme maturity when he found out about the deer's fate:



    "He just wanted her to be ok and was relieved to know she would be safe." bluecollarclassicist, Reddit User.

    He said that although the rest of the neighborhood had been caring for the doe, the boy was "by far the sweetest example of helping."

    The https://www.reddit.com/r/aww/comments/3musjd/there_is_a_blind_deer_in_our_neighborhood_and/ Reddit user said that as a gesture of goodwill, he and his wife are going to give the boy a framed photo of the deer and offer to take the 10-year-old to visit the wildlife reserve "whenever he wants to go."

    What a hero.

    I don't know what happened when I previewed it it was fine to read but after I posted it, it shows up in minlture. Is there anyway you can enlarge it like I can on this iPad? It's a story worth reading.

    I know what it means to lose a wallet and the amazing things that can happen to actually get it back. Instead of in that story 3 bucks in the wallet I had $289 cash and hadn't paid my bills yet, that was 15 years ago. I'll tell that one another time.....that's why the story above brought me to tears.

    Good suggestion - I was able to bring them up in separate windows and enlarge.

    Thank you and damn you too for making me tear up while at work!

    Ok I will, this one did it again with tears as of October 30th I became a uncle for the first time....her name is Quinn Margaret ...... ......... My sister is a breast cancer survivor, kemo etc and couldn't have a child. Advancement in medicine made it so she had her baby girl at 46. So here's the story that's somewhat similar so far....



    Watching This Man Learn His Wife Is Pregnant - After 17 Years - Will Make Your Day


    An amazing moment between http://wric.com/2015/09/29/viral-video-dinwiddie-man-breaks-down-when-he-learns-hes-going-to-be-a-dad/"]a Virginia couple is going viral, showing a husband sobbing uncontrollably at the news that his wife - after 17 years of marriage - is pregnant.

    The woman, Dana Griffin-Graves, gave the backstory http://www.buzzfeed.com/stephaniemcneal/a-dad-to-be-wept-uncontrollably-when-his-wife-told-him-she-w?utm_term=.nkXA49knn#.tlYKP7G33"]to Buzzfeed: she and her husband, Arkell, began trying to have a baby nearly two decades ago, after they got married.

    She delivered one stillborn baby at six months and suffered another four miscarriages through the years.

    The couple gradually accepted that they would not have children.

    “It just didn’t work out, so we kind of gave up,” she said.

    But recently, noticing a suspicious weight gain, she went to her doctor and found out she was unexpectedly expecting.
    She's almost five months along and is due to have a boy February 16.

    Grab some tissues and watch the video above. Dana cleverly placed the ultrasound picture next to some buns in the oven and asked Arkell to look inside.

    Also after video's over you can click on the full video story.

    musky, I saw a couple photos of Ed with the Cubs. He looked starry-eyed. Kinda sweet.

    Here in fantastic LA, it's 99 degrees.

    Ninety-fucking-nine - after 6pm - AND IT'S OCTOBER.

    Damned Indian summers (yes, I know, another Morrison reference...fits though)

    Have a drink, have a drink, I'm buying!

    Looking forward to them, gambo - along with one of he-who-is-blessed-with-lots-of-hair.

    My husband came home after his sixth long day of working, said "god, it smells so good in the hallway - like steak!" I directed him to the kitchen.

    Maybe I didn't cook it myself, but I'm one badass online orderer!
