There is a series on NPR from StoryCorps called "Recording America". I heard a particularly inspiring segment of this series last Thursday just before going into work. I meant to post this sooner, but kept forgetting to look it up. Anyways, it's called A Victim Treats His Mugger RightThat link will take you to the recording...it's only a little over three minutes guys, so check it out. If you'd rather read it, go here!
We need more stories like this one in the news.

What a fantastic story.
What strikes me is the kid saying he didn't believe anybody actually behaved that way. That just means no one has ever shown kindness to him. Can you imagine?
kitkat,
I know! That's what amazed me too. It's heartbreaking to think that someone was not taught or shown something like kindness or love.
That is a great story. I can't believe he got his wallet back and then that the boy gave him his knife! What an example of someone who's lost hope in all people - I can't imagine feeling that way so severely.
That reminds me of something Dad did and said. It's not as dramatic but, related in theme. I'll have to remember to post it on my next blog...
