Gee it looks like the back corner of my work shed.
The Green Mile I can't remember how many times I watched it but it always draws me to it, even though I know what is coming scene after scene.Before the world knew him as Oscar-nominated John Coffey… before his tears and gentle strength lit up the screen… Michael Clarke Duncan was digging trenches on the streets of Chicago.
Towering at 6’5″, he possessed the build of a warrior and the heart of a poet. By day he dug, by night he stood guard at nightclubs—protecting VIPs with quiet resolve. Yet behind that formidable frame was a man battling shyness, fueled by one constant encouragement from his single mother:
“Your size is a gift… but your tenderness is your true power.”
View attachment 203337 His big break came when Bruce Willis spotted a single, unguarded tear during an audition. In that moment of raw honesty, Michael became the unforgettable John Coffey in The Green Mile. He wept on screen not because he was acting, but because he remembered every doubt, every judgment, every whispered “too big,” “too gentle.”
View attachment 203338 Inspiring facts you might not know:
• After his breakthrough, Michael used his earnings to fund scholarships for underprivileged kids in Chicago.
• He lent his booming voice to cartoons and video games—proving that even giants can be storytellers of joy.
• Despite Hollywood’s glitz, he stayed grounded: volunteering at local shelters and always making time for a friendly chat with fans.
• He overcame a childhood stutter, turning his voice into one of cinema’s most memorable baritones.
“Strength isn’t always about striking back. Sometimes it’s about standing tall… and listening with your heart.”
When Michael passed in 2012, we didn’t just lose a giant. We lost a gentle soul who taught us that real power comes not from muscle, but from mercy—and that the biggest hearts often beat within the strongest bodies.

When Noah was born, doctors told his young father, Ben, who had Down syndrome, that he wouldn’t be able to raise a child.
That he wouldn’t understand feeding schedules.
That he wouldn’t know how to comfort a crying baby.
That he wouldn’t be enough.
But Ben didn’t listen.
He held his newborn close, kissed his forehead, and whispered,
“I may not know everything… but I know how to love you.”
And love him he did.
Ben fed him with shaking hands, learned lullabies by humming, and rocked him every night until the sun rose. He worked part-time folding napkins at a local diner — saving every penny for Noah’s future.
There were stares. Whispers.
Other parents asked, “Is he… the father?”
Ben would just smile and nod proudly.
“He’s my son. My best friend.”
Noah grew. Ben aged.
Years passed like pages in a quiet book.
Noah became a man. Strong, kind, successful. People would say,
“You turned out so well.”
He’d reply,
“Because I was raised by someone who only saw the world with love.”
As Ben got older, his memory began to fade. He’d forget where he put things. Then names. Then Noah’s.
And one day, he looked into Noah’s eyes and asked,
“Are you my friend?”
Noah held his hand and whispered,
“I’m your boy. The one you raised. The one you gave everything to.”
Now, Noah feeds him. Helps him walk. Hums lullabies when Ben can’t sleep.
He’s not just caring for his father.
He’s repaying the man who raised him… twice.
And when they take pictures now, Noah smiles wide.
Because the world sees an old man with Down syndrome and his adult son.
But he sees his hero.
His teacher.
His heart.
