2GN2S: Feel good story.
Nine-year-old
Reese Osterberg loves baseball and, of course, collecting baseball
cards. But when the Creek Fire tore through her family's home town of
Fresno, California, they lost everything — including her beloved
100-piece baseball card collection. But fate intervened. A San Jose man
named Kevin Ashford just happened to turn on the radio when the
California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection was sharing Reese's story and asking for donations to replace her lost cards.
Ashford has been collecting all his life, and estimates his 25,000-card
motherlode is worth between $35,000 and $50,000. He was planning to
sell the collection on eBay, but when he heard Reese's story, he had a
better idea. Ashford got in touch with Reese's family, and he knew
immediately that the collection belonged with her. "When she told me
that she used to sit with her binder of baseball cards in front of the
TV watching baseball, I knew I had made the right decision," Ashford
said. "Because that's exactly what I used to do as a kid."

Such a great collage with a perfect title.
I also liked the Feel good story and the smiles for Sunday. It's so important not to forget what should be important in our life.
Have a good start into the next week-
Relief is on its way. January 20 is not so far off. Just think we have had to wait almost four years. We can wait about 70 more days. :-)
