Isn't she lovely?

Having just finished work, I decided to throw the news on and see what I missed while slinging drinks tonight and while being heartbroken by Team Canada's loss, and saddened by another Aurora, Colorado shooting, I also find myself uplifted by a young man from Berkshire, UK, Jimmy Higham.

A 26 year old teacher and rugby coach, passed of cancer last year, and although teaching was his passion- he loved to sing. Before he died he recorded a version of Stevie Wonder's "Isn't She Lovely." His students released a copy of it, turns out no one except for a small handful of his kids knew he loved to sing, not even his parents. The campus came together and made a video using the song to play tribute to Jimmy. The kind words his students had to say about him, how kind and funny he was and how much everyone missed him warms my heart. 

For all the bad that is going on in the world it is amazing to see people come together and create such a beautiful tribute to someone who left such an extraordinary impact on his  community. 

The song is for sale on iTunes, with the proceeds going towards a bursary set up in Jimmy's name. The bursary will benefit students who are underprivileged.
