Some pizza marketing stuff about getting people to tell share why they deserve a free pizza elicited this post:

"Im disabled and it would be a nice treat for my husband as hes my carer"

Sometimes it only takes few words to show you what the real point to life is, and it's not marketing.

Just a few words to make you feel human again, to make you hope someone you've never met is happy, to cheer them on. To feel incredibly lucky yourself.

To imagine how much these two people love each other, it makes you feel good about people and the bravery and quiet joy that's found in the way people navigate their daily lives.  Or that's how it makes me feel anyway. Isn't love and companionship brilliant?

As you may have guessed, I'm feeling a little emotional today. My family is 400 miles away and I miss them.
