this summer i was reading two newspapers a day. i'd get up, make breakfast for my mom and we'd read the newspapers for a few hours. so one day i come across this little side article buried on the second page of the Southtown. the title intrigues me and i read it. takes maybe 30 seconds. there are horrible things that happen every day, like the link in my last post. and there are amazing displays of love, of sacrifice that we nearly always miss out on. i didn't miss out on this one and neither should you. i'll do my best to recreate it as it was in the paper.

Bee sting victim: 'I love you'
SUNIZONA, Ariz. ---
A woman was stung at least 80
times by a swarm of bees and
told her boyfriend she loved
him just before she died.

Cheryl McClain and Ted
Richard were attacked on
Tuesday while moving items
into a storage shed behind
their home. They sprayed
themselves with water and
tore at their clothes, Richard
said from his hospital bed.

Finally, he said, McClain
looked at him and said, "I
love you, Ted."

"I love you, too, Cheryl. It'll
be OK, Cheryl," he answered
as she collapsed.
