When I first read about Hallee Sorenson's 18th birthday, it made me cry, especially seeing the picture of her sitting among those birthday balloons, all alone ): This story:

...also made me cry, but for totally the opposite reason! There are many, many beautiful people in the world. While I love the picture of Hallee smiling her huge, delighted smile, I love this one:
more... it's her holding a NASA Barbie (she's autistic, and loves dolls), sent to her by a NASA employee! How fucking gorgeous is that!? A NASA Barbie... a Barbie with brains, a Barbie in the top few percent of people, who become astronauts! Really cool (:
