You need some examples? Here you go:
More than 250 people have been confirmed dead after a 7.2 earthquake that rocked Eastern Turkey over the weekend.
On October 4 a Dad came home to find his 11-month old daughter missing. Authorities are still searching for Baby Lisa Irwin.
On Friday, October 14, five children and their foster dad were killed in a car accident.
Sometime on Thursday October 13 a two-year old Chinese girl named Yueyue was run over multiple times, with no one stopping to help her. She died from the injuries she sustained.
So here's a little good news.
Late yesterday afternoon, around dusk, an acquaintance of ours (Joey) posted on his facebook wall a story that was heartbreaking and at the same time, a reminder of the good in people.
Joey's mom was driving yesterday (Sunday 10/23) down a fairly busy highway around suppertime. She happened to notice a child walking, alone. So she stopped. He had only a blanket (no clothes - temps at that time here yesterday were probably between 45-50 degrees) and could only say one word, "doggie". He was able to indicate his age when asked by holding up two fingers. So she stopped, called the police and waited with him.
So while there's a whole bunch of sad, horrible stuff happening here and around the world, it's nice to be reminded that there are some good things happening, too - even in bad situations.
