A news story I read about a kid who regularly got bullied at school and was worried that he wouldn't have any guests to his birthday party. Sadly, that actually happened when none of his classmates even accepted an invitation.
But when a local police officer saw how sad the boy was about nobody attending his birthday, he decided to throw the kid a HUGE surprise party of his own awaiting him as soon as he got off the school bus.
The party had gifts, a Krispy Kreme donut cake, and even a singing quartet in honor of his birthday. The kid was so happy and called it "the best birthday party ever,".
In a world full of news headlines about school shootings, racial hate crimes, offensive Trump tweets, pointless celebrity controversies over age old tweets that were in bad taste, sexual harassment lawsuits, terrorist attacks, and natural disasters. I found it very refreshing to see a genuinely positive and happy news story on the front page for a change. I don't even know that police officer personally and I can safely say that he's one cool guy. Anybody who would stand up for a bullied child like that and give him the amazing birthday celebration he deserves is a great guy as far as I'm concerned.
