I don't see a thread for uplifting and heartening stories so I'll start one with this article.

Alabama / Trenton McKinley, 13 :)
http://www.foxnews.com/health/2018/05/0 ... rgans.html
.. A day before doctors were going to take Trenton off of life support, the 13-year-old began showing signs of brain activity and movement. Trenton began breathing on his own and woke up speaking full sentences in late March, his mother wrote on a Facebook fundraising page.

Trenton still has a long road to recovery and suffers nerve pain and daily seizures. He has had three brain surgeries and will have another procedure to reconnect the missing piece of his skull.

Trenton said he believes he went to heaven before he came back to life.

"I was in an open field walking straight,” Trenton recalled.
“There's no other explanation but God. There's no other way. Even doctors said it."
over years, some in my family, and some friends, have experienced doctor-defying recoveries,
unexpected recoveries their doctors also attributed to God. :)

Young people winning and losing gracefully and with maturity. It gives this old codger hope for the future generations of this tired old world.
After her defeat, she was swarmed by dozens of current and former spellers who wished her well, smiling throughout.

"She was just as graceful as she could be," bee program manager Corrie Loeffler said.

Her close friend, Jashun Paluru of West Lafayette, Indiana, finished fourth, spelling with flair and spending most of his time in between words chatting animatedly with Naysa.

Karthik, for his part, took no pleasure in vanquishing a familiar foe.

"I wouldn't say it was revenge," he said. "We weren't against each other. We were against the dictionary."

Try hard not to offend. Try harder not to be offended.
I think I am funnier than I really am.
