Let’s enjoy some Feel Good Friday stories for the week…
1. A car caught fire in Tennessee the other day. Luckily, the couple driving it were both okay, and one other thing survived: An engagement ring the guy recently bought for his girlfriend. So he pulled it out and proposed right there on the side of the road.
2. A woman in Canada named Gerda Cole had to give her baby up for adoption 80 years ago, but just got to meet her for the first time on her 98th birthday. The daughter’s name is Sonya, and she lives in England. Sonya’s son was the one who found Gerda, and he came along for the trip. So Gerda got to meet her grandson too.
3. Wiley College in east Texas had its graduation ceremony last Saturday. And near the end, the school’s president announced that every graduate’s student loans had been PAID OFF. An anonymous donor put up about $300,000 to make it happen.
4. Someone in England adopted a stray Boston terrier that no one else wanted because it had weird eyes due to a rare genetic condition. But now she’s a star after winning a competition to be featured on the Lost & Grounded brewery’s beer cans. The brewery is in Bristol, England.
5. A woman in Rhode Island went into premature labor, and a cop named Connor Doyle delivered the baby. She didn’t even know she was pregnant, and was only six-and-a-half months along. But because of Connor, the baby’s expected to make it.
6. A musician in Canada named George Linton just got some well-deserved attention for something he’s been doing for three decades. He’s 96 years old. And for 30 years, he’s been playing guitar and singing for hospital patients to cheer them up.
7. A half-drunk 19-year-old girl in Scotland recently spotted a 71-year-old lady wandering around after missing a bus home late at night. So she invited her in and let her sleep there. Now they’re best friends and talk every day.
8. Back in the ’70s, a couple who owned a restaurant in Ontario used to let people trade stuff for food instead of paying. And now a painting they once got for a grilled cheese sandwich is expected to sell at auction for $27,000.
