A kid I never met taught me something important today

My sister is a nurse at a St Jude's outpatient clinic. She posted this on Facebook:

..... after sticking the port of a little boy getting chemo today, I sent him to the treasure box to pick out a toy for himself. When he came back I noticed he was carrying a little beaded bracelet. He then walked over to me and said "Miss Kim, I decided to get this for you instead."

Wow. What an amazing kid. If he can be so great, I can try to be a better person.

Thats just awesome. Its really sad the things we complain about. Because usually there is someone right next door that has it so much worse. Thats a really cool story.

You don't know what I go through, I was forced to buy used games at Gamestop, you know how embarrassing that is?!?!!

Seriously though, that's an awesome story, wish that little man the best.

Children have an innate ability to care about other's feelings before their own... it's truly a shame that they grow out of that.

Yep. Children are truly honest with their feelings and thoughts. They are capable of amazing gestures of kindness (like we see here). But, they are brutally honest at other times.

It is truly gut wrenching to see and hear what these children go through at St Judes. Their strength and courage is amazing to me.

St Judes is my favorite charity.....and the one I give a lot to. The work they do for kids is incredible. I have known two families that needed their services. One of them lost their 9 month old to cancer....while the other has a 9 yo in remission. St Judes was a God Send to the families.

      PFF Best Rookies so far: Two Panthers

      By mav1234 · Posted

      Saw this show up in my new feed. Nice to see a couple of our rookies making it into the top 5 so far, even if it is a pff measure... From https://www.pff.com/news/nfl-top-15-rookies-week-9-2025 ... 4. TE Mitchell Evans, Carolina Panthers (78.7) Evans struggled in the Panthers’ tight win over the Packers, finishing with a 41.8 PFF overall grade — third worst among tight ends this week. He was not targeted in the game and played only one snap in pass protection. He did log 15 run-blocking snaps, and although he earned a 68.9 PFF run-blocking grade in zone looks (seven snaps), his 39.0 mark in gap schemes (second worst for the week) dragged him down to a 46.6 PFF run-blocking grade overall — sixth worst for the week. Despite seeing zero targets over his past two games, Evans still leads the Carolina tight end group with a 74.3 PFF receiving grade. He has caught all nine of his targets for 90 yards, six first downs and two touchdowns. Evans also leads the Panthers’ tight end group in PFF run-blocking grade (72.2). He has recorded a 20.5% positive play rate across 175 snaps.  5. WR Tetairoa McMillan, Carolina Panthers (78.6) McMillan had a better day against the Packers, recording four catches for 46 yards. Most of that production came in the first quarter via two 16-yard catches — one of which he snatched from Carrington Valentine’s hands, who was in perfect position to break up the pass. McMillan accounted for three first downs on the day, although Green Bay was able to limit his impact after the catch, holding him to 0.8 yards after the catch per reception. McMillan now has 41 catches for 558 yards — a top-15 mark. He is also tied for second with 19 explosive gains of 15-plus yards. Three of McMillan’s catches against the Packers came between the numbers, bringing him to 22 for 318 yards and 19 first downs (tied for second most) this season. He owns a 26.1% threat rate and a 76.6 PFF receiving grade between the numbers. He also ranks in the top 10 in explosive gains (10) and yards after the catch per reception (5.5) within that area of the field.
