A Little Bit of Awesome: 3/19/2021 Edition

Irma Prevette is awesome. She turned 100 years old this week and got to have a party where she hugged her family for the first time in a year.


Rob Wilkins is a police officer, and Paige Stride is a paramedic. And they were both called to the same emergency at a restaurant in England. And they got to talking.. He wanted to ask for her number and didn’t have a chance because he got called away.
Well, in spite of that other emergency, she found him on Facebook, and they started dating soon after. And now, they’re engaged. And that’s awesome.


Nolan and Andrew are awesome. These two teenagers found a dog runninng around, clearly lost. So they figured out where the dog lived and returned it to the owner. But the owner was at work. But after waiting nearly an hour, the owner called and the dog was returned home safe and sound.
Those two are awesome.


Extra Awesome:
Comedian Mary Kelly does a great Drew Barrymore impression. In this clip, she imagines Drew meekly telling a barista she got her coffee order wrong.
