This reminds me of Ben and Sara, the couple I worked with way back the, the couple who are the subject of my new book, the couple who inspired me to laugh in the face of devastation and be inspired as long as my heart beats and my lungs will with oxygen. This is a two minute and forty-two second video that will forever live in your heart. One act of kindness, one moment of deep inspiration, one thing seen through the eyes of a child exploring the miracles that abound, and our lives are never the same. I love Huntie, who I am reblogging from. If you stop by and meet her, you’ll love her as well.

It does remind me of Ben & Sara. I love that guy. What an inspiration.
That was my first thought. These situations, these incredible people… you just don’t forget them. ❤
I saw this on Chasing Rabbit Holes as well.
I know, I saw your comment. I had emotions all over the place. Amazing love, amazing couple, so inspirational. ❤
Truly. ❤ ❤
❤ ❤
Dear Paulette, thank you for the reblog. When I see acts like this, I want to send it forward so that others catch fire and act on their love. By the time I came to say thank you, the review of His Name was Ben was posted on top. I read it and marveled at the story and your strength to tackle such difficult, painful and exalting stories. We owe you a debt. xxoo Huntie
Aww, Huntie, you’re so sweet! Thank you. Your wanting to share and pass along kindness shows your big beautiful heart, why I’m so grateful for our cyber friendship that feels like we’ve met and had a zillion cups of coffee together. Big hug to you! ❤
You mean we haven’t? Oh dear. 🙂 ❤
Okay, you’re right, I take it back. We’re probably sisters separated at birth, lol. ❤ a zillion cups of coffee… no wonder I'm so hyper. 😉
What truly amazing and selfless people this couple are and what they are doing. The video made my heart sing for them, thank you for sharing it here Paulette.
In the spirit of Huntie, who posted it, who has the “want to share kindness fever” I couldn’t resist. It’s a joy to share these kind of things with my great cyber family. This one is exceptional and so rare. Big hug to you, Barb. ❤
I wonder how many of this awesome men still exist? I know I have one of them. Inspiring video

For my money, I think there are a whole lot of these kinds of beautiful men, and women who’d do the same in reverse, given the opportunity to shine in the light of love. This one is exceptional though. I’m so happy to hear you have one of them. Wow, lovely, and lucky for him as well! ❤
Gee I wrote a comment on somebody’s blog. Haven’t the time to go back and see whose.This is quite the video and everyone who is in dire straits health wise needs a partner such as this man. Very inspirational.
It does get confusing with reblogs where we post what. I understand. This man is a role model supreme and bless his sweet heart for what he’s doing, for his wife, and the rest of us. ❤
This is the first I’ve heard of this… and it won’t be forgotten. What amazing people we connect with via the blogging community. I am quite removed from social media and I prefer it that way… but when I see something along the nature of this video, I feel a connectedness with like-minded people, and I feel hope for that kind of love and compassion in the world. Thank you for sharing this. It was simply beautiful.
I know what you mean about social media which can pull our heart away from relating with life. And I also agree this one was exceptional and hope generating. I fell in love with this couple. Big hug to you. ❤
Great people
They sure are, Lou. ❤
