Love Gives Me Hope
These are just a few of the LGMH entries that moved me or actually made me a bit teary-eyed. Beautiful!
Two months ago, my best friend died in a fire.
I was told that he would've made it out alive, except he ran back to try save his two-year-old half-sister. They found him holding her, she died in his arms while he was trying to protect her from the flames.
A brother's LGMH
My boyfriend was eager to meet my Mom, despite my various protests.
I pulled into the parking lot of the cemetery where she's buried, expecting him to completely freak out. When we approached her grave, he sat down, said hello, and talked with her for an hour about how lucky he was to have me. LGMH
My grandpa is 85 years old.
Today, I just found out that ever since his wife, his true love, had died, he put roses on her grave every Sunday. The drive is 2 hours away from where he lives. She was 29 when she died.
This devotion GMH.
I am a third grade teacher.
Most kids come in with notes or messages written by their mothers in their lunch sacks. One little girl's dad left, and her mother abuses drugs. But her 12 year old brother never fails to write "I love you" on her brown paper bag.
He GMH.
My father never wanted children, and my conception was an "accident."
On the morning of his sextuple bypass open-heart surgery, he gently woke me up and whispered, "I need you to know that you are the best thing that has ever happened to me," as tears ran down his face.
His love for the daughter he never wanted GMH.
