October 3, 2017Woman From Las Vegas Asks Mike Rowe To Give A ‘Comforting Word,’ And He Delivers
October 3, 2017Yesterday was a difficult day for everyone.
It seemed like the horrific news just kept pouring in…
In a phone call with my mother, I completely broke down:
“People are awful. Humanity is awful. There’s so many truly sick, horrific people out there… and it seems like there’s more of them every day.
Where is the good in the world?”
She reminded me that there’s good everywhere. Good people with good hearts… they’re all around us…. we just have to be willing to see them.
I woke up today determined to see them. Here’s a good place to start:
Tom McIntosh was one of the more than 500 concertgoers hospitalized Sunday night after Stephen Paddock, a 64-year-old Mesquite, Nev., resident, opened fire on a crowd of more than 22,000 people from the 32nd floor of the Mandalay Bay Hotel and Casino.
James Lawson, a total stranger with Army Reserves EMT training, told NBC’s the “Today Show” he found McIntosh “actively bleeding” in the back of a pick up truck, applied a tourniquet and accompanied him to the hospital.
McIntosh was surprised by Lawson’s presence and the pair shared a tearful embrace as soon as Lawson appeared. McIntosh thanked Lawson profusely, prompting a casual response from Lawson, who said simply “of course.”
There are good people in the world. Let’s celebrate that.
