HERE ARE SOME OF THE BEST SHORT AND TRUE STORIES GLEANED FROM 'THE DAILY HEADLINE' :

Today, my seventy-five-year-old grandpa who has been blind from cataracts for the past 15 years, said to me : "Your grandma is just the most beautiful thing, isn't she?" I paused for a second and said "Yes, she is. I bet you miss seeing that beauty on a daily basis." "Sweety", my grandpa said, "I see her beauty every day. In fact I see it more now than I used to when we were young."

Today I walked my daughter down the aisle. Ten years ago I pulled a fourteen-year-old boy out of his mom's fire-engulfed SUV after a serious accident. Doctors initially said he would never walk again. My daughter came with me several times to visit him at the hospital. Then she started going on her own. Today, seeing him defy the odds and smiling widely, standing on his own two feet at the altar as he placed a ring on my daughter's finger.

Today, I walked up to the door of my office (I am a florist) at 7 AM to find a uniformed soldier waiting. He was on his way to go to Afghanistan for a year. He said "I usually bring home a bouquet of flowers for my wife every Friday and I don't want to let her down when I'm away." He then placed an order for 52 Friday afternoon deliveries of flowers to his wife's office and asked me to schedule one for each week till he returns. I gave him a 50% discount because it made my day to see something so sweet. next day delivery prom dresses

Today, I told my 18-year-old grandson that nobody asked me to prom when I was in High School, so I didn't attend. He showed up at my house this evening dressed in a tuxedo and took me as his date to his prom.

Today, when she woke up from an eleven month coma, she kissed me and said, "Thank you for being here, and telling me those beautiful stories, and never giving up on me... and yes, I will marry you."

Today, I was sitting on a park bench eating a sandwich for lunch when an elderly couple pulled their car up under a nearby oak tree. They rolled down their windows and turned up some jazz music on the radio.Then the man got out of the car, walked around to the passenger side, opened the door for the woman, took her hand and helped her out of her seat, guided her about ten feet away from the car, and they slow danced for the next half hour under the oak tree.

Today I operated on a little girl. She needed O-blood. We didn't have any, but her twin brother has O-blood. I explained to him that it was a matter of life or death for his little sister. He sat quietly for a moment, and then said goodbye to his parents.I didn't think anything of it until after we took his blood and he asked, "So when will I die?" He thought he was giving his life for hers. Thankfully they'll both be fine.
