A patient I've been taking care of for a month died recently. He was a 32-year-old man with end-stage colon cancer who had no close family. He didn't want to be alone in the end, so I stayed in his room until he passed away. It was one of the saddest moments of my whole life 😢

@CalvnKlein Oh my gosh. I'm really sorry, that must have been very tough. But it was really selfless and kind of you to stay. We're all very lucky to have people that would have been there for us.

Sort of I was freediving with my best friend and a storm came (we were in a lake in austria) and i came up in the right time but the lake pulled my bf down and well he died with 16 and i don't have a lot of friends he was actually my only friend i had in my county so i came into depressions but than a girl came and helped me.. So we were a couple for a while and not even a week ago she cheated on me, so well .. My life is kinda hart now 😓

A stranger, well, technically not a stranger. Last year, I was in NYC with one of my friends. The place is full of homeless people, if you don't already know.

We were walking down a street when we saw a group of boys a few years younger than us huddling around something.

Now, this is usually the part where you keep walking but since I had my pocketknife with me I decided to check it out.

As we approached, we saw that the boys were not just staring, but they were punching and kicking at something.

When we finally reached the middle of boys, we saw that they were beating an older homeless man and his dog

I read it silently and then almost broke into tears. It said "Please help. I'm trying to find a good home for this little pooch. She's kept me safe all of these years and now I want to return the favor. She deserves better than a life on the streets."

But what we received from the man was: "If she kept that old guy safe for as many years as it looks like, then she deserves better than a shelter. I'll do my best to get her to a vet, and it would be an honor for me to foster this love until I can find her something better."
