That’s more than a chin wipe.

It’s compassion within minutes of meeting a child. Here’s what happened…

A week before their first Football game each fall, Iowa State hosts Victory Day. Kids with special needs get a special day with the team, in the locker room and on the field. They try on helmets, sprint out of the tunnel and score a touchdown.

But the huge athletes focused on the upcoming season? I think they love it even more. This picture is proof.

Mandy Cosper sent it to me and writes, “Hi! I saw you at ISU Victory Day and wanted to share a picture of my son with football player Funto Akinshilo. C**t has a neurological disorder that causes him to drool a lot. I was getting ready to take a picture of the two of them, and Funto stopped me, because he noticed C**t had some drool on his chin. He wiped his chin, and it was one of the sweetest moments I’ve ever experienced in my life.”

A father said to his daughter, 'You graduated with honors, here's a car I bought some time ago. But before I give it to you, take it to the used parking lot in the center, say you wanted to sell it, and see how much it offers you. ”
The daughter went to the used parking lot, went back to her father, and said, "They offered me $ 1,000 because it looks very worn."
The father said, "Pawn it."
The daughter went to the pawnshop, went back to her father, and said, "The pawnshop offered $ 100 because it's a very old car."
The father asked his daughter to go to an auto club and show them the car"
The daughter took the car to the auto club, came back, and told her father: - Check the comments 👇👇👇

Cancer is bad... it's really bad. Not too long ago, Jillian, who is only 25, was diagnosed with Stage 2 breast cancer. And, obviously, that was devastating for her. All those upcoming treatments were going to be extremely rough on her, and she wanted to let her boyfriend, Max, know that. And, in doing so, she also wanted to let him know that she would completely understand if he wanted to move on with his life without her. But for Max, there simply was no other option; he was going to stick with her through everything. And he was in for quite a bit. Jillian had surgery and 16 chemotherapy treatments. Max didn't budge; he was right there with her every step of the way. But Max was not only with her. He would constantly give her words of encouragement, and he would always let her know just how beautiful she was. And often he would take her out to the movies to get her mind off of things. And, after all of it, though it might be so daunting for many, Max and Jillian's relationship became so much stronger. And then, almost before they knew it, Jillian was having her very last chemo treatment, a very special day. Now would be that next stage for Jillian... the healing. But just after that final treatment, Jillian got a very unexpected surprise, which would make it an even more special day. Max got down on one knee and proposed to her. And she said yes. It was a wonderful moment. When a woman named Lauren, who owns a wedding planning company, heard about Max and Jillian, she donated her services to the couple. Lauren does this once a year to a deserving couple, and she felt Max and Jillian were definitely a deserving couple. It's certain to be a day to be remembered

"Very, very proud of you, Julie Evans Schaferling. Today she met the man that died.
At 0300am on a Saturday morning coming home from work, Julie drove up on a car wreck on FM1488 where a single vehicle left the road, struck a pole and partially ejected the driver.
She told the 911 dispatcher exactly where the accident was and maintained her calm as she informed them that the male was trapped in the vehicle, sending additional rescue equipment.
Magnolia Fire, Montgomery County Sheriff, and MCHD responded.
Julie stayed with him until they arrived. Many of the responders recognized her and began treating him based on her assessment.
They intubated him through the windshield as the fire department cut the vehicle away from him.
She never left his side. When she got home and told the story, I was proud of her for doing what she could on that dark road in the middle of the night, but we both knew from many, many similar calls, that chances were not good at all and we left it at that.
The only update she got from the EMS crews in the days that followed was that he lost pulses 3 times during transport.
Anyone who has worked in trauma for any length of time will tell you, the chances of survival, much less any meaningful recovery from that condition are next to 0%.
He had broken bones in his face, arms and legs, multiple broken ribs, a collapsed lung, a lacerated liver, and major blood loss.
Fast forward 2 months, and she gets a friend request on facebook. Today, she got to meet him."

In her own words;
Judi Dench
"Don’t prioritise your looks my friend, as they won’t last the journey.
Your sense of humor though, will only get better with age.
Your intuition will grow and expand like a majestic cloak of wisdom.
Your ability to choose your battles, will be fine-tuned to perfection.
Your capacity for stillness, for living in the moment, will blossom.
Your desire to live each and every moment will transcend all other wants.
Your instinct for knowing what (and who) is worth your time, will grow and flourish like ivy on a castle wall.
Don’t prioritise your looks my friend,
they will change forevermore, that pursuit is one of much sadness and disappointment.
Prioritise the uniqueness that make you you, and the invisible magnet that draws in other like-minded souls to dance in your orbit.
These are the things which will only get better."

So I’m in recovery in the methadone clinic, I’ve been sober since March from fentanyl, crack, and Xanax and would use basically anything I could get my hands on. I was with my boyfriend for 7 years on December 31, but he sadly passed away on November 28 from relapsing once. He was clean since April. We decided to get clean because we found out I was pregnant on my 21st birthday. He passed when our son was only a little over a month old, he is almost 3 months now. I guess I am writing this because I have no one to talk about my use or our past and I feel like it’s eating me away. He was all ive known I was 14 and he was 16 when we first started dating, we were inseparable, we were each others halves. It’s been so hard to stay sober this is the hardest thing I’ve ever had to go through in my life, like how am I supposed to explain this to my son when he gets older? He was an amazing father and loved being a dad so much, he loved him more than anything. I know I have to stay sober for my son because cps is involved, this is just the hardest thing I’ve ever had to do in my life. This is the only picture we got together with our son. Sorry for typing all this just I feel like I needed to get this out somehow, I have no one I can talk to about this that actually understands what I’m going through

Monday, April 2 I was informed by family members that my father's health took a nosedive and that he wasn't expected to live more than a couple days, and that I needed to come home asap.

I talked to my leadership that night, and the next day, was able to take emergency leave and fly out.

I was scheduled for 4 flights that would get me home around midnight. My first flight took off late, causing me to miss my next flight. I was freaking out, but the flight attendant told me there was one more flight going to where I needed to be.

Before I boarded my second flight, a man came up to me because I had Shiva (shes my service dog) and showed me pictures of his Malinois. He told me he served in the National Guard and that he grew up around the same place I did. Before this flight landed, I found out my last flight home was cancelled.

As I'm getting off the plane (it's about 930pm) I'm texting and talking on the phone with my family trying to figure out how to get home that night. Then 2 flight attendants approach me saying they were able to get me a flight that leaves at 1130pm. While the flight attendants are telling me this, my family is telling me they'll drive 5 hrs to come get me.

Then, the man I met before boarding my second flight came up to me while he was on the phone. He told me he was arranging for a professional driving company to drive me from the airport straight to my house, all at his expense. I was apprehensive at first, but he showed the receipts to the flight attendants and when the driver arrived, he sent them a picture of the car, the license plate and the driver. Before I left, he said all he wanted in return was for me to let him know I made it home. The driver drove me from Chicago Airport, almost 5 hrs to my front door. I got home about 3am Wednesday April 4. I was able to get the man's name and he had already given me his number. And I was informed about how much it cost him, which wasn't a small amount.

Thanks to this man's selflessness, I was able to make it home and say goodbye to my father before he passed a day later on the morning of April 5.

There really are good people in this world, and I will never be able to thank him enough for what he did. But I hope that one day I will be able to pay it forward to someone in need like it was done for me."

"A couple of days ago I was standing in line at the bank. A young girl (college age) was behind me with a Mason jar 1/3 filled with coins. I commented to her that she was supposed to wait until it was completely filled before cashing it in. She said that she didn't have any money in her account and that she had to cash it in now (it probably totaled $5.00). I remembered being a poor college student myself 30 years ago at BYU. So, when I got to the teller, I told her to withdraw $50 from my account and when the girl came up for her transaction, to see to it that my $50 was deposited into her account with her coins. The teller asked me, "Why? Do you know her?". I replied that I did not but that it seemed to me she needed the money more than I did and I was just "Paying It Forward". The teller told me that was one of the nicest things she had ever seen. I left feeling good. And, I secretly asked my Heavenly Father to bless both the young lady and myself because I have bills too.
Tonight, at the end of my work week, my last customer was the answer to my silent prayer. Their dinner check was only $49 but they tipped me $50...the same amount that I had given to the young lady earlier this week! They tipped me not the usual 18% - 20% but a full 100%! Someone "paid it forward" back to me! Karma! I felt blessed! Remember, "Paying it forward" will eventually come back to you! Everyone have an awesome week ahead!"

A mom will text her twenty-year-old child,
letting him know it's going to rain and not to forget an umbrella.⁣
⁣
She calls to see how the first day of school separation went for her grandkids and if her daughter made it to the car before tears streamed down her face.⁣
⁣
She watches her daughter's baby,
so she can shower and take care of her postpartum body.⁣
⁣
She texts her forty-year-old son,
making sure he’s home safe from a wedding because knowing that is still the only way she can sleep well.⁣
⁣
She buys her thirty-four-year-old daughter Wetzel’s Pretzels when she goes to the mall,
because she knows how much her daughter loves them.⁣
⁣
And no,
she no longer needs to do these things,⁣ but she does them anyway.⁣
⁣
Because a mother always wants to make life easier for her kids when she can⁣,
even when they’re capable,
responsible humans and can do all the things for themselves.⁣
⁣
And she always wants to know they’re safe.⁣
⁣
Because mothering doesn’t stop when her kids turn eighteen,
move far away,
or have their own kids.⁣

RULES TO TEACH YOUR DAUGHTER
1. Make your bed every day, even if it’s right before you get in it.
2. Don’t wear holey underwear…in case you’re in an accident and they cut your clothes off.
3. Travel light through life. Keep only what you need.
4. It’s okay to cry when you’re hurt. It’s also okay to smash (some) things; but, wash your face, clean your mess, and get up off the floor when you’re done. You don’t belong down there.
5. If you’re going to curse, be clever. If you’re going to curse in public, know your audience.
6. Seek out the people and places that resonate with your soul.
7. Just because you can, doesn’t mean you should.
8. 5-second rule. It’s just dirt. There are worse things in a fast food cheeseburger.
9. Happiness is not a permanent state. Wholeness is. Don’t confuse these.
10. If you’re staying more than one night, unpack your bag.
11. Never walk through an alley alone.
12. Be less sugar, more spice, and only as nice as you’re able to without compromising yourself.
13. Can’t is a cop-out.
14. Hold your heroes to a high standard. Be your own hero.
15. If you can’t smile with your eyes, don’t smile. Insincerity is nothing to aspire to.
16. Never lie to yourself.
17. Your body, your rules.
18. If you have an opinion, you better know why.
19. Practice your passions.
20. Ask for what you want. The worst thing they can say is no.

22. Stay as sweet as you are.
23. Fall in love often. Particularly with ideas, art, music, literature, food, and far-off places.
24. Fall hard and forever in love with nothing but yourself.
25. Say Please, Thank You, and Pardon Me, whenever the situation warrants it.
26. Reserve “I’m sorry” for when you truly are.
27. Naps are for grown-ups, too.
28. Question everything, except your own intuition.
29. You have enough. You are enough.
30. You are amazing! Don’t let anyone ever make you feel you are not. If someone does….walk away. You deserve better.
31. No matter where you are, you can always come home.
32. Be happy and remember your roots, family is EVERYTHING.
33. Say what you mean and mean what you say.
34. No one will ever love you more than I do.
35. Be kind; treat others how you would like them to treat you.
36. If in doubt, remember whose daughter you are and straighten your crown

"During pregnancy, some baby cells migrate into the mother's bloodstream and then return to the child. It's called "mother-fetal microchimerism."

For 41 weeks, the cells mix and circulate back and forth, and, after the baby is born, many of these cells remain in the mother’s body, leaving a permanent imprint in the tissues, bones, brain and skin of the baby to mother, and they often remain there for decades.
Every other child a mother has will leave a similar imprint on her body.

Even if a pregnancy doesn’t end, or if you have an abortion, these cells still migrate into the bloodstream.

Research has shown that if a mother’s heart is injured, fetal cells will rush to the injury site, and transform into different types of cells that specialize in repairing the heart.

The child helps the mother repair, while the mother builds the child.

This is often the reason why some diseases fade away during pregnancy.

It's amazing how the mother's body protects the baby at all costs, and the baby protects and rebuilds the mother in return, so they can safely develop and survive.

Let's think about pregnancy cravings for a moment. What did the mother need, that the child make her wish?

The studies also showed the presence of fetal cells in her mother's brain 18 years after birth.
How wonderful is this?"

"Two months ago I adopted this girl. Her name was Vitória, but I was not a big fan of that name...I wrote down three name options on three pieces of paper, I put the cookies on it and she chose Greta Maria.
We don't know how old she is for sure (we think she's 2), she spent her life tied up, sleeping on concrete. She had never taken a bath, she stank so much that even a flea wouldn't talk to her. She didn't even know what the sun looked like.
Today Greta Maria is Universal. Photo of the proud smiles of those who managed to climb alone on the puff to take in the sun."

Take time to read. Whenever I read this poem, I fall in love with it:
Forget Me Not
"When I'm dead and long gone,
Think of me, forget me not."
She said this to her new boyfriend.
Hoping for good time till the end.
He laughed and he smiled,
Nodding his head all the while.
"When I'm dead and long gone,
Sing for me, forget me not."
She spoke this to her fiance.
Wishing for luck to come their way.
He nodded his head and kissed her lips,
Loving each and every moment like this.
"When I'm dead and long gone,
Laugh with me, forget me not."
She whispered this to the new father,
Watching him hold their new little daughter.
With tear of joy in his chocolate brown eyes,
He kissed her soundly, smiling bright.
"When I'm dead and long gone,
Dance for me, forget me not."
She said to him, both old in age,
Celebrating their grandson's birthday today.
He took her lovingly into his arms,
Humming whilst keeping her safe and warm.
"When I'm dead and long gone,
Always remember, forget me not."
She said to him, lying sick in bed,
A heavy fever upon her head.
He laid down beside her, holding her hand,
Praying for a healing touch to land.
But, on that Sunday, in late May,
She was there... lying as if in sleep.
He stood there, caressing her cheek in dismay,
Wanting her back in his arms, gentle and sweet.
And, knowing she wouldn't come back, he knelt down,
His head positioned in a bow...
"You may be dead and soon to be long gone,
But I'll see you there, I've forgotten you not."
Since those words, the years have flown by,
The sun and clouds still grace the sky.
In the field of lilacs, where they buried her,
Another stone sits beside the other.
Linked by a chain made of flowers,
Those that were picked by their daughter,
A single verse stands out as if on an alter...
"When I'm dead and long gone,
Think of me, forget me not."
To this day, the words shine in the sun.
Glittering rapidly as though the couple were having fun.
You'll notice something else if you look.
Pretty little flowers kept within the nook.
There are no lilies or roses in this spot...
No...
the chain that ties time are forget me nots. ❤

A man finds a goose that was shaking with cold stuck to a pole in Montana. As he got closer he realized, wrapped up in her wings, was a tiny puppy she was shielding from the freezing temperatures. We have so much to learn from the animals. Beautiful. (Both the goose and the puppy have recovered, were adopted together, and are doing well.)

"You work 8 hours to live 4 hours.

You work 6 days to enjoy 1 days.

You work 8 hours to eat in 15 minutes.

You work 8 hours of sleep 5 hours. You work all year just to take a week or two vacation.

You work all your life to retire in old age. And contemplate only your last breaths. Eventually you realize that life is nothing but a parody of yourself practicing your own oblivion.

We have become so accustomed to material and social slavery that we no longer see the chains.."

Life is a short journey, live it!

Alzheimer's when she was 57. As she slowly declined my Dad told us he wanted to take care of her like she took care of us. He kept her in their home as long as he possibly could. He would get maybe 2-3 hours of sleep at night making sure she was okay, changing bed sheets, changing her clothes, washing her and he never complained. When my mom was moved to a full time care facility his devotion never ceased. He visited her everyday. He continued to care for her even with the nurses around. He helped lift her, feed her, wash her, paid close attention to every detail of her care. For ten years he did this. No complaints. No resentment. He was gentle, loving and devoted. My mother passed away March 22, 2016. My Dad was by her side. I am humbled and in awe of what I witnessed. He is a truly special person and I'm so lucky to call him Dad.

Great advice from Liam Neeson!
"They say the hardest thing in the world is losing someone you love. Someone you grew old with and watched grow everyday. Someone who showed you how to love. It's the worst thing to ever happen to anyone. My wife died unexpectedly. She brought me so much joy. She was my everything. Those 16 years of being her husband taught me how to love unconditionally. We have to stop and be thankful for our spouses. Because, life is very short. Spend time with your spouses. Treat them well. Because, one day, when you look up from your phone, they won't be there anymore. What I truly learned most of all is, live and love everyday like it's your last. Because, one day, it will be. Take chances and go live life. Tell the ones you love, that you love them everyday. Don't take any moment for granted. Life is worth living.”

My daughter Bekah passed away 1 year ago from an unexpected asthma attack causing her to go into cardiac arrest.

She was alone in her apartment when it happened and dialed 911 herself.

They were quickly able to reach her and bring back a pulse but she coded a second time in the ambulance.

After 9 days in the ICU she was totally unresponsive to any stimuli and they called a time of death although she was still “alive”.

She was an organ donor and helped to save 5 people. A friend of mine had a vivid dream of my daughter in where my daughter walked in the room looking very much alive.

He shouted to me “Bekah is alive” She looked at him and said “no, I’m here to give my heart.” She then walked up to a child and handed her heart to her.

My daughters heart did go to a child, a 12 yr old. I’ve struggled with the what if’s and feeling guilty that she was alone when she passed. I worry that she was scared or that she felt pain.

Hearing some of the stories on this group help to give me hope that she’s at peace and maybe she did choose to give of herself to help others.

I ask God daily to please give me a million signs of her presence until it’s my time to see her beautiful face once again. Bekah’s mom ~ forever 22 🦋

“Y'all. This gentleman right here is Barry. He paid for my groceries when I realized I left my wallet in Emmy's diaper bag. The cashier had finished ringing everything up and gave me my total. After I couldn't find my wallet, the cashier and bagger graciously offered to suspend my order and put all my perishable items in a cooler so I could run home to get my wallet. I explained I live 20+ minutes away and by the time my kids and I would make it back an hour will have passed. It was already 7:00 and we still needed to eat dinner. I succumbed to the fact I would have to put an order in online and pick it up the following day. Trust me, I realize there are people with actual problems in this world, but at that moment, I felt completely defeated. My husband had just left for Texas and would be gone for two weeks and there was still so much to do at home. My son, who just got done helping me put everything on the conveyor belt kept asking what was wrong. In my frustration and anger (toward myself) I said through clenched teeth ‘I don't have my wallet; we have to leave’. Now comes the good part. In steps Barry asking, ‘How much is it?’ I profusely refuse, but Barry's persistent so I tell him my total. He hands his card to the cashier and looks at me and says ‘I've been there before. I understand. My wife recently died and if she were here, she'd want me to help you. So, I'm doing it for her, too.’ It might have been weird asking to take a picture, but he was my saving grace this evening. He's a reminder that there's plenty of good out there.”

The night before Thank giving, I was walking through our basement with an armload of firewood when I saw something that I could not quite believe. It was confusing and heartrending at the same time. A small mouse was sitting upright in the middle of our basement. It was hunched over, hanging its head with its eyes closed, and this may sound crazy, but it looked sad and completely defeated.
I approached it slowly, hoping that it was just fast asleep, drunk on whatever food it had managed to scrounge from our cellar. Sadly, that was not the case. As I reached out a hand to let it know that I was close, it lifted its head, looked up at me sideways, and slumped, hanging its head and closing its eyes again. It made no attempt to move. It was vulnerable and helpless.
As I gently picked it up, it did not protest - it assumed the same position. It looked up at me once, dropped its head to its chest again and closed its eyes. Within a few minutes it was asleep in my hand.
Close inspection revealed an injured rear leg that the mouse was dragging behind it. We consulted with a wildlife rehabilitator who was at capacity but offered valuable advice. She said it was likely nerve damage and suggested a week of cage rest to see if the injury would resolve on its own. So we spent the holiday weekend creating a habitat for and feeding our new guest. And we are seeing significant progress already.
Our guest will be with us for a few more days, until it is strong enough to be integrated with a colony - at that time, we'll bring it to our dear friend Ellen Jareckie, a wildlife rehabilitator and the artist behind House Mouse Designs. She will keep the mouse through the winter and release it when it is stronger, in early spring.
I think it would be safe to assume that many who read this will believe that I am nuts for spending days trying to rehabilitate a mouse, and I understand. But seeing a small, helpless creature in a vulnerable state broke my heart. I had to do something.

"Today I went out for lunch and I saw this elder lady coming from afar so I waited to hold the door for her, she was very thankful and sweet.
She then told the waitress, "table for one", so I waited and hesitated but then I walked over and said, "I'm eating by myself too, would you like to have lunch together?" She was ecstatic! Come to find out she spent the last decade living with her mom who recently passed away and her aunt who recently was put into a nursing home, so she has been having a hard time being alone. We had a wonderful talk, and she just kept smiling and saying thank you for listening to me, which made me smile too! 🙂
By far the best decision I've made all year!!! Her name is Delores, and we will be having lunch every Thursday from now on." ❤

"On Friday I did an activity with my 5th graders where they wrote a short blurb entitled.
"I wish my teacher would know..."
These are just a few that stuck out to me:
Kid 1: I wish my teacher would know; my dad is in jail, and I haven't seen him in years.
Kid 2: I wish my teacher would know, I don't always eat dinner because my mom works and I don't know how to work the stove.
Kid 3: I wish my teacher would know; my sister sleeps in the same bed as me, and sometimes she wets the bed, and that's why I smell funny.
Kid 4: I wish my teacher would know that I don't always have sneakers for gym class because my brothers and I share one pair.
Kid 5: I wish my teacher knew I like coming to school because it's quiet here, unlike my house with all the yelling.
✨We spend so much time talking and judging what we think we know... we need to ask more questions and spend more time listening. We also need to shift our mindset and see things from other people's perspective. Give more than we get. Live to serve and to help make a difference in others' lives.
Let's leave this life a little better than we found it. 💕

"This is my wife taking a nap. In an hour she will wake up, put on her scrubs, and get ready for work.
The tools and items she needs to perform her job will be gathered and checked meticulously - her hair and makeup will be done quickly. She will complain that she looks awful. I will disagree, emphatically, and get her a cup of coffee.
She will sit on the couch with her legs crossed under her and try to drink it while happily playing with the toddler that's crawling all over her.
She will occasionally stare off blankly as we talk; silently steeling herself for the coming shift. She thinks I don't notice.
She will kiss the baby, she will kiss me and she will leave to go take care of people that are having the worst day of their entire lives. Car wrecks, gunshot wounds, explosions, burns, and breaks - professionals, poor, pastors, addicts, and prostitutes - mothers, fathers, sons, daughters, and families - it doesn't matter who you are or what happened to you.
She will take care of you.
