    9. The police officer who bought shoes for a barefoot homeless man

    View this image ›

    Jennifer Foster was visiting Times Square on Nov. 14 when she snapped the heartwarming moment. Here's her account of what happened:
    “Right when I was about to approach, one of your officers came up behind him. The officer said, ‘I have these size 12 boots for you, they are all-weather. Let’s put them on and take care of you.’ The officer squatted down on the ground and proceeded to put socks and the new boots on this man. The officer expected NOTHING in return and did not know I was watching*. I have been in law enforcement for 17 years. I was never so impressed in my life. I did not get the officer’s name. It is important, I think, for all of us to remember the real reason we are in this line of work. The reminder this officer gave to our profession in his presentation of human kindness has not been lost on myself or any of the Arizona law enforcement officials with whom this story has been shared.”

        Edited this to remove the picture of the protest. Profane signage.

              Yeah, my favorite is #19 too! And even though it got removed (sorry, mods, my bad) - the Texas A&M students blocking Westboro, and the kid saying God Hates No One, it shows what is needed to defend one another; starting from the smallest of acts.

                I'm usually not a sappy link-sharer, but I shared this list on Facebook last night. Also, cool to see my brother's high school (Dexter, MI) make an appearance.

                  That's awesome.

                  I remember my high school soccer team did something similar for one of our players with cancer; his name was Scotty. That was a good day.

                    Thank you for that post Matt, truly inspiring stuff on a really dark day. I think that deep down we all believe that people are inherently good, despite recent events.

                          Yeah, they are great - my favorite is the little girl with the cat...and the one with the little girl so excited to see her favorite rugby player. I shared these at work - and I'm glad I did here too

                            The one with the girl and her soldier was beautiful. True Love knows no end.

                              My friend linked me to a list of 21 moments that looks like it was posted five months ago. This one actually hit me harder:

                              People aren't always awful. Sometimes, they're maybe even just a little bit wonderful. Here are 21 pictures to remind you of that fact.


                              For some reason, I really liked the Sainsbury one.
