Reader Comments, Part 3
Even more of the many, many comments we have received
in response to HeroicStories:
- "I signed up for your service the other day on a whim. I am so very glad
that I did. I am going through a dreadful time right now, and fear that I will lose
my mother any day. Your stories have served to be so uplifting and encouraging to
me that I am finding, somehow, the strength and inspiration to 'keep my chin up,'
as my mother has always urged me." --Bethey, Texas
- "Nothing, nothing at all has touched me the way HeroicStories has. A number
of your subscribers are due to the fact I sent Heroic Story #3 to every single name
on my address book with the strong advice they subscribe as I was so sold on the
concept. A good many have written back to thank me for pushing them. Thanks for
reaffirming my belief in mankind several times a week. We need this." --Alan,
North Carolina
- "I have been receiving HeroicStories for quite a long time and wanted to let
you know they fill my heart with gratefulness for these people. Working with law
enforcement has sometimes jaded my outlook when dealing with felons. Yours is what
I need to keep my perspective on real life. Thank you." --Walt, Ohio
- "HeroicStories is a *very* powerful force in many people's lives. I'm sure
of this, though no one's ever told me directly. All I can guarantee is that it is a
*very* powerful force in *my* life. I didn't realize how much until today. The last
few weeks have been an almost unbearable emotional toll; each day I feel worse than
the last. A terrible cyclone ravaged India on Oct. 29th. My father was in that
area; I still haven't been able to contact him, though communications to his city
are back up. For the last several hours I have been struggling to maintain
self-control. I saw a new message from HS, and I pounced upon it. It lessened the
stress. It weakened the pain. It did not make anything go away, though I would bow
before you if it could. HS doesn't fix everything, but it has made my day more
tolerable. It has done so continually for the last few weeks. For that you have my
eternal gratitude. Thank you. More than you can ever know, I thank you. Be you
forever well, sir." --Bibek, Iowa (who wrote later to say, "He called! He
and his wife are fine.... I was starting to get a little worried there.")
- "I have been receiving HeroicStories since #1. I subscribe to a number of
newsletters but none can hold a candle to HeroicStories. I am usually moved to
reflect on my own behavior to see if I can live up to what these heroes are doing,
and I find myself wanting. However, the struggle is worth the effort!"
--Gary, Washington
- "I've forwarded [sample stories] to 50 friends. Of particular note should be
that I forwarded it to a couple of school teachers. You may care to suggest that
your readers introduce educators they know to HeroicStories. The stories should be
required reading in our classrooms." --Scott, California
- "When people think of news they think of who has been killed, maimed, or put
in jail. Yours is my kind of news. Personal, uplifting, inspiring. Those are the
kinds of things I like to hear about. I quit watching the news on TV years ago
because it depressed and scared me too much." --Mary, Texas
- "Often, I have wondered how to get the masses together on any one subject
and you surely have 'hit the nail on the head'. HeroicStories has been an uplift
for me since I discovered it." --Rodney, Washington
- "Just a quick note to say thank you for the work you do and the fact that my
day is not complete without it. We all choose our response to what happens daily in
our lives -- it is the perspective we have that determines our response. Your
stories help keep the perspective in line." --Raymond, Alberta, Canada
- "I am a missionary from Antananarivo, Madagascar. I got onto [a] message
board, made an announcement that I was looking for positive, motivational
newsletters. The secretary for a teacher's union gave me your newsletter as one of
those positive things I wanted. Yours was the best. Thanks -- I nearly cry from joy
every time I read 'HS'." --Roger, Madagascar
- "About two years ago when my grandson was 3, he started asking me to tell
him stories. He just loved hearing stories about anything. Well, at first it was
easy, retelling lots of children's stories and personal stories and then just plain
making up stories about superheros, etc. But then I hit a brick wall, running out
of stories. Lo and behold along, came your HeroicStories. I read every one of them
to my grandson and granddaughter. They love it, as well as myself. These are
terrific stories for young developing kids. It instills a sense of goodness and
kindness in them that overshadows the likes of superman and Goldilocks. Thanks."
--Christopher, Virginia
- "This semester, I was in a literature discussion course which focused on the
idea of the hero of ancient times versus the hero of today. Some people said there
were no more heroes, and I was quick to point out HeroicStories. I forwarded that
day's story to my professor, who was happy to know that someone still believed in
modern-day heroes." --Carrie, Indiana
- "I have been disabled with a degenerative disease for several years now. A
few years ago I moved to the Pacific Northwest, 1000 miles away from my family to a
small town on the coast. To say I was lonely would be an understatement. I bought a
computer a few months ago and I subscribed to a lot of free services. But this one
brings tears to my eyes and a smile to my face. It keeps me in contact with the
world and lets me know that good people still exist. Sometimes I save up the
stories for when I am in a lot of pain and then I read them. It is better than any
pain medication. Thank you so much!!!" --Chris, Oregon
