Charlotte said "My father had not seen his Army buddy, Ken, in 58 years and our family arranged a surprise visit. Incidentally, Dad's nickname in the Army was "Tex" and no one else has ever called him that."
That's some pretty powerful stuff right there.
Belted this one out from his old and tired and war-hardened soul!

But now, look at him: back on top, and showing the rest of the world that you can in fact rise above your darkest days. Some inspiring work from a true legend of the game right here.
An inspiring tale of kindness in turmoil. This woman's life was struck by a tragic and terrifying disaster. Then, on her birthday of all days a brave stranger stepped up to make her special day worth smiling over. This is just the kind of story that restores our faith in humanity (temporarily).

Sounds like a lot of relationships ended up falling apart after people listened to this guy's rant. Hopefully this doesn't stir up anything at home for you!
Twitter's on a well-warranted Feels Trip right now. Thanks Toy Story 4. How about a kind warning next time? Apparently you can add the The Beach Boys love song, "God Only Knows" cue into just about anything, and emotions, weeping, tears, will arise. The reactions from Twitter users who are deep in their feels is entertaining at least.
Years after this ex-competitive swimmer enduring the excruciating trials of a vaccine that "in many ways destroyed their life", they've spoken out on Twitter, to argue for vaccines. NOT the twist you'd expect amidst the swarms of anti-vaxxer threads we see storm social media, so regularly. But in this case, we have something refreshingly different. It's powerful and full of pain, and maybe moving enough to encourage anti-vaxxers to assess their stance with a newfound critical gaze.
This woman's Twitter thread shows us that you don't need any art skills to drive home a relatable point about how grief can touch all our lives at some point; and how you can deal with it, when it does. Her explanation made waves in the Twitterverse, and touched a lot of people. Not surprised!
Life hits hard, and we all can find ourselves in need of help, amidst the chaos it throws our way. These grateful, humble people shared some of their experiences when the struggle was real, but the kindness and generosity of strangers pushed them through to the other side. You might even find yourself pleasantly encouraged for the potential in humanity to achieve some kindhearted good!

Justas Gedvilas, in the YouTube comments section for this video said it right: for having skin as delicate as a butterfly wing, the kid is tough as steel. Seriously. What a little badass! He's incredibly well spoken, and is a bright and courageous example of the amazing power of one's will, in the face of stunning adversity, and challenges. We've seen this kind of VR chat format video before, when a kid was describing what it's like living with ADHD; and we loved it! Check that one out here, if you're curious.
This young woman was paralyzed by despair when her dad passed away. She couldn't find it in herself to unpack her things, and settle into what she'd planned on as her new home. That's when her friends intervened before she had to do something like ask for help. They took it on themselves to help push her forwards, and the loving act that ensued is captured in this Twitter thread that will take you to the Feels Factory.
