Default Beautiful article in the WJS...

Yes, the Wall Street Journal. Not normally the first place I'd think of for articles that make me cry...

Set a tissue or two aside before you start reading it.

Reminded me of how much support an online community can offer people.

beautiful, thanks for sharing it. Reminds me that every day is a gift and I should treat it as such. I'm sure the people in my office would thank you if they could, for making me a softer, nicer person today

That was very touching... I recently got back in touch with my birth mother who is dying of lung cancer after I found out she had the disease when I did a Google search on her (I've done that about once a year for a decade) and found that she had posted on a cancer survivor message board. The internet is an amazing creation - my birth mother said she kept track of my life the last several years by Googling me to see what I've been up to (my employers web sites have made tracking me rather easy).
