pbslingerA friend wasn't able to give out Halloween candy this year
Normally she's quite involved in Halloween, but she was too involved in her Marine Veteran father's funeral this weekend to give out candy. She put a note on the door saying she couldn't due to a family funeral, and some kids left candy packages forming a happy face with a glow stick for a smile, and another forming a heart. She ate the candy while crying the whole time.

scot818I hate to hear about her loss but it sounds like there are some really good kids out there. It's good to hear about kids with parents who taught them to be considerate of others and putting someone else first.
That's a cool story I'll share with the wife.

SigSauerP226This is the second uplifting Halloween story regarding youth that has made me happy and just a little more optimistic about our future. Very nice to hear this.

Elk HunterYes, we do have a lot of truly great kids in this country!! Hopefully, in the near future the number of them will only increase by a couple magnitudes!!
We seldom get any Trick or Treaters here because the house is so far from the street, and we have no lights on the driveway.
