Now, this is cool stuff. A guy in Japan born without arms and legs throws out the ceremonial first pitch at a baseball game. This gave me the goose bumps.

The tragedy in Japan has brought many stories, most of them heart wrenching and painful. This is a follow up on a story we brought you just the other day about a dog adrift on an island of debris. You would think that in itself would be a happy ending, the good news, it gets happier. I hope your heart smiles when you see the joyful reunion between lost dog and her human.

When bad things happen, there are usually amazing stories that follow. We saw it in person with Hurricanes Rita and Katrina in 2005 and now a story of hope adrift in the ocean off Japan. The amazing story of this unexpected survivor was documented by cameras and I must admit, it made my heart smile.
