Do you have a favorite story that has stuck with you?

I think this is a really interesting site and I continually read it,
I suppose the most recent that resonated with me was the story of the gentleman that lost his wife after 63 years or so, and he stated that the definition of love is elusive and that he misses the interconnectedness of his life with his wife.. so touching and he really was able to convey what I think love is and reminded me to be mindful of it and not take it for granted -
I liked all the stories from refugees that he did a few months back. I think they provided a lot of valuable perspective and gave a human face to the refugee crisis that was not always treated very kindly. Also, someone I went to school with was his guide in another country (where she lives), which I didn't even know until he posted a picture and story from her. So that was fun to see pop up in my newsfeed

I feel like almost all the stories resonate with me in some way or another. I've loved the series about refugees, the one from Iran last year and the current one on incarcerated inmates in the north east. I think it's really important we put faces and real stories on stereotypes and myths about cultures, religions and groups of people - even if the people who need the most to see that "all Muslims", "all people in jail", "all Middle-Easterners" are not like X stereotype probably are not readying HONY.

I kind of love them all. Recent stand outs were refugees and I like the prison one now. I have two friends that were Humans of New York!

I love HoNY!
I remember the woman working to end brick kiln slavery in Pakistan, the scientist from Syria, the boy in NYC writing a book, and of course I
micro fashion!
Really interested in the prison series now. The woman talking about her daughter broke my heart.
