You made me cry with that one Graeme, but the tears were worth it. What a lovely but sad story for exactly the reasons you mention.

My BFF just told me her son has joined his school's GSA this year.  He was inspired to do so because of people like Brian Justin Crum on "America's Got Talent".  He hasn't always been understanding of LGBT people, so this is a great step forward for him.

I hope this link works.  The story I wanted to share is about the elderly lady who got to ride a horse one last time.  I don't know what language they're speaking, but the look on her face speaks for itself.  I'm still crying.
