A heartfelt letter written in Braille
was the beginning of a beautiful friendship

February 1st 2019

This is what America use to be and should be after 'trump'!

When I talk

 "The good old ways (days)"

this is what it should be!

Not bigotry, white supremacist, race, region, sex or anything else, 

it should be humans helping and sharing with humans!  

Officer Chris Linsenbigler 

Is an old white police officer.

Mo Gaba is a black teenager.

Mo Gaba’s school friends 

and 

teachers are a melting pot of

 ‘good People’!

Mo Gaba and Officer Chris Linsenbigler met in Mo's classroom in Linthicum Heights, Md., earlier this year. Since then, they have become inseparable best friends.

Mo lost his vision as an infant during his first battle against cancer.

Since then he has beaten back cancer two more times.

Through it all, he has not let the disease get him down.

Now cancer free, and with Linsenbigler by his side, he can continue to live his childhood out to the fullest.

BALTIMORE 

A blind elementary school student who's overcome many obstacles in his short life has received a diploma in Maryland. 

CBS Baltimore reports

Mo Gaba is not just any fifth grader at George Cromwell Elementary School.

 He's had help from friends, teachers and technology to battle several bouts of cancer, which left him blind as a baby.  

"I can't thank the teachers enough for what they've been doing," 

he said.

"I just don't want to leave." 

The cancer came back when he was 6 years old, and it recently reappeared in his bones.

But his spirit and laugh are infectious.

"I'm the one that cries all the time,"

Gaba's mother said.

"His spirit just keeps me going." 

Gaba has learned to read braille, walk with a cane, complete math assignments and maneuver his great helper, Mo-bot the Robot, which allowed him to virtually attend classes from the hospital. 

Now, he'll take his infectious laugh to middle school with full confidence from all of his friends.
