He's from Calais and his Mum posted on Facebook asking if people would send her son a card for his 30th birthday because it would cheer him up. He received cards and gifts from all over the world. |

Stories like this make me so happy! This is why I love the end of Russel Howard's Good News.. He always ends with something like this. |

why do you feel the need to post comments like this? he probably thought before he died that he wouldn't have anyone there to remember him or pay their respects to him. but because of that one person putting a appeal out that man had people there. its lovely that people will go pay respects to someone they don't even know just because no one else is there too. how would you feel if in your last days you were thinking that no one would be there to remember you? or even notice you weren't around anymore? |
