This year (more than ever) it feels like we're struggling to find a smidgen of good news in a fiery garbage pit of tragedy. Every once in a while we get lucky, and today is one of those days. Over a year ago, Tumblr user gallusrostromegalus shared an incredibly wholesome (and incomplete) list of animals their grandfather brought home to their grandma during their 67 year marriage. The list is comprehensive, funny, and reminds us that kindness does exist in the world. 

It's also not the first time that gallustromegalus has gone viral for animal-related content. The hilarious antics of their parents dog, Arwen, caught the attention of many media outlets such as Buzzfeed. They're currently working on a book of family lore, but if you enjoyed this thread (and maybe the one about Arwen), consider donating to their Patreon. You'll receive more heartwarming content, and will be supporting a disabled writer who depends on their creativity to pay the bills.  

Apparently, not everyone has such an adorable sibling relationship.

All of this cuteness is too much. The internet was shook with feels when Redditor General-ColinBile posted these post-its "visited my younger cousin and noticed how his girlfriend shows love". To give context he wrote -- "They were posted on his bathroom mirror. I took them down for better picture taking... Amazingly even at his age, he's mature enough to see she's someone special." Someone special indeed.

Andy & Jaquie, one of the sweetest couples on earth, were engaged for over a year. Prior to the engagement, Jaquie suffered a traumatic accident and lost the ability to walk and made it her goal to walk down the aisle of her wedding.

Jaquie went through a year of intense physical therapy to achieve her dream. So, in front of a room filled with 200 people, she did it. The joy was absolutely breathtaking.

Along with a photographer, there was a painter there to paint the first dance.
