A promise kept at the piano, and a boy found safe

I keep coming back to people who just turn up and do the thing they said they'd do, and today had a few of those so I wanted them all in one place. Bit of music, bit of school, and one rescue that had me holding my breath.

Bonnie Fay is 84 and plays piano, and she first came to Bryn Mawr Village nursing home in Pennsylvania as a patient after Guillain-Barré syndrome, a rare disorder, left her paralyzed. She promised she'd come back and play for the rehab patients and she kept her word. "I came here as a patient, and now I can give something back," she said, which is just lovely, giving joy back to the place that gave her health back.

In March 2020 COVID lockdowns shut schools all over the world, and that included the schools at Tongogara Refugee Camp in Zimbabwe. Prince Bashangezi took a personal loss and turned it into peer tutoring for refugee students. Taking something that hard and making it into a way of helping other kids keep learning is the kind of thing I'd like to see a lot more of.

Six-year-old Roman Heilman, a boy with autism, had been missing for 3 days in Kentucky, and then Jacob Mullins, from a local horse trailriding group, spotted him. "He just walked right out of the bushes onto a horse trail," he said. One person called it nothing short of a miracle and honestly I'm not going to argue, three days is a long time and he walked out of those bushes and was found!
