I started this series some time ago when I realized we- certainly I— sorely needed to be reminded of the bottomless amount of plain, simple goodness in this battered, bruised and damaged nation of ours. Looking back on the time I started doing these “feel good” reports, if I thought things were bad enough then, several months ago, they are exponentially worse today as we are immersed daily in more and more solid evidence that the “First Family” is actually just a latter day version of the Corleones. So, here is today’s bit of good news- trigger warning (the good kind!): you might feel a distinct sensation of your eyes watering up, and it won’t be from climate change.
"Eleven-year-old Elijah, who is battling a brain tumor, wished to have a puppy. We’re excited to share that Elijah’s wish came true this past weekend when his Wish Granters surprised him and introduced him to his new furry friend, Tucker!!"

God Bless such organizations as Make A Wish Foundation for giving children like Elijah such unalloyed, pure joy and happiness!
And may God help Elijah survive this life-thretening tumor and grant him a good and full life.
