Have I misplaced my faith in humanity? Maybe not.

Tabitha Mullings her lost hands, legs to illness, then lost pros­theses to thief — [PDF]

A Brooklyn single mom fell suddenly ill last year, damaging all four limbs and her eyesight. And then in the spring, a heartless thief stole her pros­thetic hands from her car. Despite all of this, she lives her life and has a fiancé.

A deeply touching story that evoked an actual emotional reaction from me when I read it. The mere fact that this woman carries on with her daily living is quite some­thing. And then I read about Mr. Davis who gives her his uncon­di­tional love. Indeed there are good men out there who are capable of great compassion, a deep and caring love. This is where I damn nearly start tearing up. Mr. Davis, I raise my glass to you: cheers for being one of the few good men left on this earth. It’s always encour­aging to see some semblance of goodness in people.

See, I’m not a miserable prick looking for excuses to be a miserable prick.
