This is so moving, I'm glad you've shared it. I wish the mainstream media could give a little nudge to this site, this is humane news coverage.

Brilliant and moving.

These made me cry at work. Despite that, they're absolutely beautiful and touching even though they make me realize that no matter how far we think we've come, it just takes one day to tear it all apart.
