This Is What It Sounds Like When Doves Cry...

Small stories filled with hope are finally coming through and soothing people's spirits if only for a moment. I was reading an article and trying not to cry earlier this week about a boy who wasn't allowed to bring his dog Snowball. The boy cried so hard that he made himself throw up. Yesterday, I read a story that Snowball would be reunited with the little boy and I felt a little weight lift. No trememdous thing I know. People are still suffering- but in tragic situations- the only way to get through is to count the small blessings.

Another story that really affected me was this one. A group of small children were air lifted out of their apartment building. The oldest was six and he was instructed to take care of the baby and all the smaller ones. And he did and they were finally reunited with his family this week...
