Prayer of saint francis of assisi
Lord, make me an instrument of your peace.
Where there is hatred, let me sow love;
Where there is injury,pardon;
Where there is doubt, faith;
Where there is despair, hope;
Where there is darkness, light;
And where there is sadness, joy.
O divine master, grant that i may not so much seek
To be consoled as to console;
To be understood as to understand;
To be loved as to love.
For it is in giving that we receive;
It is in pardoning that we are pardoned;
And it is in dying that we are born to eternal life. Amen
Your story may cause another stressed parent to "think" before they act and also show others that there is no stigma attached to being human and needing help. Michael's legacy of loving compassion lives on through you, and no doubt, through that distraught mother and child. Love and peace, happydae'

In the positive, michael was a kind man to have been the first to stand up to the mother. To show her the wrong she had been doind. I'm sure that if that child could have he would have slapped his mother right back.

CJ wrote: What an awesome story. Michael's act of kindness really lives on. I am a therapist and advocate for children. This story really touched my heart. Please pray for the family of a young girl was kidnapped and murder in our town whose funeral is today and for another girl's family of whom was hit after getting off a school bus by a drunk driver and the funeral is also today.
