I was soaking up some sun in central park when I saw this couple struggling to take a picture together on their cell phone. They asked a passing girl to take it for them, but unsatisfied with it, they continued to try on their own. 

I scooted over to them and asked if they’d like some help. Happily, they passed me their old flip phone, explained how to take the picture, and posed. They explained to me that they were trying to take a good photo for their wedding invitations. I was taken aback.

Instantly I gave them back their phone and walked over to get my camera. I told them I’d give them a little photo-shoot with my camera and email them the pictures that night. 

The looks on their faces are the reason I love photography so much. The adorable couple thanked me countless times and gave me hugs before saying goodbye. That night when I emailed them the photos, they wrote me the nicest email response and invited me to their wedding.

My happiness in life always comes from moments like this. 

This melts my heart! ^_^

OH MY GOD APPARENTLY TAKING AN ARROW TO THE KNEE WAS AN OLD NORDIC SLANG FOR GETTING MARRIED 

I THOUGHT THAT ALL THOSE GUYS IN SKYRIM HAD LITERALLY BEEN SHOT IN THEIR KNEES WITH ARROWS BUT I GUESS NOT

And at that moment, the foundation of that entire meme became something like this:

8-years ago, CHP Officer Kevin Briggs talked this young man out of jumping off the Golden Gate Bridge. 

That young man’s name is Kevin Berthia. 
Today he is 30 years old and married with 2 children. 
This week he presented Officer Briggs with an award on behalf of the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention. 

The story of how Officer Briggs talked Kevin down is remarkable. 

As you can see in the picture, Kevin is literally one step away from jumping to his death. But for more than hour, the officer listened to Kevin pour his heart out about his troubles and told him, “I know you think things are bad, but they can get better.”

Kevin says, “Officer Briggs never made me feel guilty for the situation I was in. He made feel like, I understand why you are here, but there are alternatives”

Kevin is just one of countless lives Briggs has saved over his 23 year career.

Briggs, who was promoted to Sergeant five years ago, is humble about what he does. He says, ”they make the decision, when they step back over that rail it takes a tremendous amount of courage”

I salute Sergeant Briggs!
