Good News Tuesday Stories: The Sweater, the Stranger, and the Backyard Full of People
Description
Uplifting news stories Canada doesn't always look like headlines. Sometimes it looks like a Vancouver man sitting across from the mother of the stranger whose liver kept him alive. Sometimes it's a sweater knitted one playoff game at a time for years, now behind glass at the Canadian Museum of History.
And sometimes a hot air balloon pilot calmly sets down 13 people in a stranger's backyard in California, everyone walks away, and the homeowner opens the sliding glass door to find a basket full of people standing on the lawn.
Three stories. All of them true. All of them worth two minutes of your day.
