Today, after a 72 hour shift at the fire station, a woman ran up to me at the grocery store and gave me a hug. When I tensed up, she realized I didn’t recognize her. She let go with tears of joy in her eyes and the most sincere smile and said, “On 9-11-2001, you carried me out of the World Trade Center.” MMT

Today on the way to the airport I told my mom if I ever saw someone in the armed services in a restaurant I would buy their meal. I’m sitting in a restaurant at the airport right now and my mom pointed to a solider sitting two tables down. He doesn't know it yet, but I just bought him his lunch. MMT

Today, I was in my car at a red light on my way to drop my 7-year-old daughter off at school when a homeless man walked up to my car holding a sign that read, “I’m Hungry. Please help me.” I was about to start driving again when my daughter rolled down the back window and handed him her bagged lunch. MMT

Today, you would have been twenty, but I didn't listen to you ten years ago when you told me you were depressed. I didn't think someone your age could be depressed. But you proved me wrong and now you're gone. Your death always MMT.

Today, a man pulled up to the drive thru window and insisted on paying for the woman’s meal behind him. When I asked him why, he said, “I can see her in my review mirror and she’s crying. If I can put even the slightest smile on her face for a split second, I consider it money well spent.” MMT

Today, I dressed up as Santa Claus for a Santa Claus themed pub crawl in Chicago. All the kids we passed on the street loved the costumes. A little girl came up to me at one point and said, “Santa, do you grant wishes?” I said, “Yes.” She grinned and said, “I wish I didn’t have AIDS anymore.” MMT
