Hey Do Good Crew,

Let’s talk about the people who saw us before we saw ourselves. The good ones don’t stop at the classroom door. They follow you for the rest of your life.

  • Spotlight: A Mississippi teacher spotted a former student’s good deeds going viral on Facebook. So she showed up at his barbershop unannounced to tell him, in person, how proud she was.

  • Dear David: A man in Idaho never forgot the choir director who took him in like family, and the door that stayed open his entire life.

  • The Person Who Believed In Me: Comedian Atsuko Okatsuka’s grandmother raised her, protected her, and once kidnapped her. Atsuko says she also saw something in her before she saw it in herself.

  • Goodie Bag: A couple’s 80th anniversary hits odds of 1 in 10 million. Plus, a trip to the principal’s office that had everyone in tears, for all the right reasons.

  • Beg-Knows America: A lullaby marked a death, and a birth, in the same hospital, minutes apart. Eight years later, the families it connected are still together.

Let’s get into it!

With gratitude,
David
