Count The Little Stuff

If you don't already know, 2016 is a leap year fraught with unsettling world events. But what most of us don't see are the little sparks of warmth and jubilation amidst the quadrillions of occurrences over the year that's about to end - billions more over the seconds you've taken to read this. A policeman stopped a black teen walking two hours daily to and from work and bought him a bicycle. A comatose 1 year-old awoke just days after doctors decided to shutdown her life support systems. An 80 year-old lost his wife to cancer, his savings to her medical bills and had to sell bags of kindling by the road for a living, until the public donated $100K to him. A Syrian refugee who's also a master tailor, risked exposure by fixing up a neighbour's wedding gown that split just minutes before her wedding. A 5 month-old baby received a new liver in the nick of time and lives.All these in 2016...and more.
