This is the kind of emotionally-stirring post, centered on courage and selflessness in the face of true tragedy that has the ability to reawaken an idle faith in humanity. Seriously. It doesn't get much more powerful than this. As for the nurse, it sounds like she's since discovered word of this post, thanks to social media doing some good in the world; and she's connected with the brother who left the post on Facebook.

It ain't all about Fails here. Sometimes we need to mix in some of the good feels, to carry you through the day's series of fails and struggles. If your Sunday is at all hurting for some good feels, you have found a list that might be able to lift you out of the pit of despair. And if this list left you wanting more, check out another batch of wholesome goodness from Imgur's Champion of Good Feels, Mr Puckett, over here!
Marshall the Cat is here to be your champion of easy-smiling, positivity. Has a long week got you down in the dumps, and feeling in need of silly, wholesome goodness. Then this woman's interaction with her office's neighbor's cat will paint a smile on your face. For all we know, 2019 could be Marshall's here. And we are all for adding fuel to the fire of his viral moment.
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.
Monday's hurt, and sometimes more than others, but THIS time it doesn't have to. Sit back and lose your tired ass coming off the weekend, in a nice and welcomed break of uplifting wholesomeness. Sometimes we need a quick recess from the fails ourselves.
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 girl's Tumblr post about how her originally fearful stance on love evolved into something of an acceptance for the way things can be, when it comes to love. Whether you believe it's a choice or an emotion, is up to you.
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.

You might find yourself surprised to realize that this video comes to you in HD. Any Dragonball Z fan is bound to appreciate the wave of nostalgia, that'll wash over you in this video.
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.
