The request started here. The response was overwhelming:

StoryCorp has been conducting interviews with thousands of people since 2003, collecting oral histories that they later animate. Today, they bring us three stories from veterans in honor of Veteran's Day. See them here, but be sure to pack some tissues. And a warning for language and adult content in some of these.

Choo choo, all aboard the feels train! You may want to have an onion standing by, in case you need an excuse for the water leaking from your face.

Never before has a bunch of skeletons been so heartwarming.

A new ad from the Ad Council shows people of all different ages, genders, races, sexualities, ethnicities, disabilities and religions coming together behind a digital screen.

The viewers only see their skeletons at first kissing, dancing and hugging with Mary Lambert’s “She Keeps Me Warm” playing in the background, until the real people step out to reveal themselves.

The spot is part of their “Love Has No Labels” campaign, and it already has over 1.5 million views since it was released on Tuesday. It was shot on Valentine’s Day of this year.

From the Ad Council:

Subconscious prejudice—called “implicit bias”—has profound implications for how we view and interact with others who are different from us. It can hinder a person’s ability to find a job, secure a loan, rent an apartment, or get a fair trial, perpetuating disparities in American society. The Love Has No Labels campaign challenges us to open our eyes to our bias and prejudice and work to stop it in ourselves, our friends, our families, and our colleagues.

You will cry. So be prepared.

Amy Palmer uploaded a photo of her husband Andre fast asleep under their 20-month-old baby's crib at York Hospital Pediatrics in Pennsylvania and the internet fell in love.

The small hospital room included a crib and a sleeper chair. Amy was asleep in the chair when her husband entered the room, so he curled up on the floor. No blanket, no problem.

Their son has recovered and his back at home with his loving family.

This could have been up there with Rudy 😢

Patrick Stewart dropped in to Dragon Con to surprise this little Trekkie whose Make-a-Wish was to meet the Star Trek captain. Dawn Garrigus is eleven years old and living with mitochondrial disease, but more importantly, she's got great taste in science fiction. Patrick Stewart and the Make a Wish Foundation of Georgia made it possible for the pair to meet at Dragon Con where they shared this adorable hug.

WARNING: Bring a handkerchief. Things might get a little misty in here.

From the Youtube description:

Our daughter, Bailey, had complete paralysis from the waist down for 11 days with no explanation as to why. This video is of one of her favorite nurses coming onto her shift and not knowing that Bailey had started walking this day.

Seven year old Padawan Colin Gilpatrick wrote a letter to George Lucas after discovering that Jedi could not get married:



Lucasfilm responded with a grab bag of goodies and an a-okay for Colin to wed.  



It's too cute, I can't handle it!




Colin's got a few good years to train in the force before setttling down, but it's nice to know he's got the official Lucasfilm blessing when the time comes.  

Bring a tissue before you read this one:

We found out that she was his sweetheart, his wife who passed away 5 years ago. They met at 17 but the war had kept them apart. He had searched for her for 10 years and one day as he was telling his barber the story, the barber calls his daughter in and it ends up being her. They were married instantly and it lasted for 55 years until she passed. He takes her photo everywhere. On one side of the laminated photo it's him and her sitting on a couch together and on the back it has a photo of him and her side by side when they were young. Goes to show you true love does exist.

Rebecca Lyn shared a photo of her 18-year-old cousin Hallee to Facebook on Tuesday, June 7th and the internet has responded.
