One of the graduates, Francei Brown, plans to attend Morehouse College in Atlanta in the fall. His father, who for years cobbled together part-time jobs fixing cars and doing plumbing and roofing, even in the worst weather, was resolute about college for his son.
‘He said, ‘I want you to have a job where, if it’s cold outside, you’ll be warm inside,’’ Mr. Brown said.

Heartwarming Tearjerker of the Day: Four-year-old comic book fan Anthony Smith is deaf in his right ear and has hearing damage in his left. He also refused to wear his hearing aid (which he calls “Blue Ear” because it is blue), because “superheroes don’t wear hearing aids.” So in a long-shot attempt to help her son, Anthony’s mom emailed Marvel for ideas.
“She didn’t know a specific person to write to here at Marvel, and even figured it might get caught in our spam filters, but she sent it in anyway, because that’s the kind of great parent Christina is,” said Marvel editor Bill Rosemann. “And it was her inspiring effort to help her son that touched so many of us here. As a fellow parent of a toddler, I can understand where she’s coming from, so I forwarded the email around the rest of Editorial, asking what we could do to help, and like when Cap yells, ‘Avengers Assemble,’ the gang leapt into action.”
Not only did Anthony receive an image of the superhero Hawkeye, who lost 80 percent of his hearing back in the ’80s and wore hearing aids — Anthony also received a drawing of a brand-new superhero: “Blue Ear.”
Now, with his hearing aid back in, Anthony is able to “fight battles and help people.” His preschool, for hearing-impaired kids, recently hosted a superhero week to inspire the students to overcome their limitations.
DON’T miss the video. It’s the best thing you’ll see all day.

My Gramita had a stroke yesterday. Luckily my aunt had the presence of mind to give her 2 asprin while waiting for the ambulance, the reversing medicine was administered within 2 hours. She is doing well, but the next 48 hours are pretty crucial.
Oddly enough, she was only speaking in English for the 1st few hours. My grandma was born and raised in Mexico and rarely speaks to any family members in English.
When Josh and I got there she said “Traviesa and her husband, I love you” she kept telling us how good we were and asking us to hold her hand and asking me to give her medicine.
We are so blessed to have her, so thankful, 94 years old and the strongest person I know.
