Love thy neighbor ... no matter what

This story proves that people are amazing.  This man let a stranger lean on him in his time of need.  I am so touched. 
Even more impressive, another rider "asked the man if he wanted [them] to wake the kid up, but he shook his head and responded, 'He must have had a long day, let him sleep. We've all been there, right?'"

Make someone's dreams come true

When the community sees an opportunity to make the world a brighter and happier place for a sick little boy, my heart sings.  Check this story out about how the city of San Fransisco is going to turn itself into Gotham.  As in Batman's Gotham.  The city is going to let this little boy feel like he's Batman himself. 

"On November 15, the Bay Area Make-A-Wish Foundation is turning San Francisco into Gotham City, and when trouble strikes that morning, the city’s police chief will call upon Miles -- aka Batkid -- to leap into action for a day of noble crime-fighting around town.
His first act of duty will be rescuing a damsel in distress from the cable car tracks in Nob Hill, followed by arresting the Puzzler for robbing a downtown vault. Miles will then refuel at Burger Bar directly above Union Square, but mid-lunch, he’ll get a call from the police chief directing him to look out the window. He’ll see a group of volunteers crying out for his help to save San Francisco Giants mascot, Lou Seal, who’s been kidnapped by Mr. Penguin in a convertible getaway car.
In a wild chase, Miles will free Lou Seal at AT&T Park and head to City Hall, where Mayor Ed Lee will thank him for his heroism and hand him the key to the city. Hundreds of adoring San Franciscans will be there to cheer -- and most likely hold back tears."
