Hello Dun,
First of all I do hope that everything is well with the individual you spent time in the hospital with. Secondly your post here was an uplifting one.

Yes there are people that we barely know that do care about us ..ie the nurse ( I won’t call them strangers) and we care about other folk as well. Pain, suffering, joy, anguish, delight…..we all know these as a human race even with our differences. As browncoats we have been brought together by our love of the show Firefly/Serenity and we have become family. I too come here everyday and although I may not post something everyday I still hope to one day hear news and info that our extended family, the cast and crew of FF, are getting back together for more. Also I like hearing what’s going on with my browncoats friends. I’ve never felt as welcome by a group of folk as I felt the first time I signed on to the browncoat community. We keep holding and talking with one another and I feel that as Jewel expressed in an interview not long ago, there will be a SHINY day in the sun for us.

See ya, Z
btw I'm 52

*hugs*

Sounds like you've discovered the truth that a lot of us lose track of, that the government and media don't, don't want to, remind us of.

There are a lot of good folks out there, doing good,caring, lending a helping hand, sometimes just listening, one on one, not through their church or government or organization.

Doesn't mean that there isn't bad stuff out there, too, but the good outweighs the bad, most times, most places. However, nobody ever sold a newspaper or got a Neilsen rating, for reporting the majority GOOD NEWS...
