He's thinking "dammitdon'tcrydon'tcrydon'tcrydon't-" and I love that

I’m not gonna lie, this made me tear up! For a middle schooler to keep all those notes really showed that she appreciated all of them at such a young age. Sometimes stepparents don’t get enough credit for stepping in but this proved to him that she loves him too! Love his reaction!!! I’m not crying, You are! 💕😭

Beautiful way to show him how much what he did meant to you. He showed you how much you mean to him.

My eyes are wet....

Very touching - what a blessing

>Sniffle!<

Any man can be a dad, it takes a real man to be a Father! Way to go!!!!

Very cool thing your stepdad did. Very cool thing you did.

It just shows that it doesnt matter who you are a little kindness/ encouragement will do in someone's life. Positive encouragement can change a life maybe even save if. No one knows what another is going through only God...but we, as people can , be life changers even if its just in how we treat one another. We don't have to agree with every thing, but its good to agree to disagree...in other words ...dont argue over something neither agrees on. God bless

That's really sweet....not all step parents are not loving.

Absolutely precious ... my girls grew up with a ‘step’ father that they loved dearly and he loved the so very much. Love is love❣️

Very nice!!

Lovely gestures

That is so unbelievably sweet and dedicated.

god I looooovve this. makes me misty about my own kids

I understand this because middle school was tough for me and I wouldn't have made it without my family. Thank You, Mama, Daddy, Kathy, and Breanna. I love you so much.

What an incredibly, wonderful daughter to love her dad so much, it brings him Happy Tears!!!!

It's in the little things we do that show how much we truly love someone

I like this because my dad is my siblings' stepdad My siblings and I are half-siblings

Very sweet!💜

Im not crying, you're crying. Shut up...

I don’t understand why giving the notes back ?

He's so proud! Way to go Leah's brother!

Remember Americans that you dont own the country, your ancestors invaded it. The vast majority of Americans are migrant of from migrants descendants.

I weep

What an amazingly accepting and supportive grandma!

Respect!

I hope this will be me and my future hubbie. Except we're both blind, and just digging random holes and planting random flowers and bushes and trees for each other in the most random-a*s places around the town/city we live in, and when someone asks "where tf did this tree come from?!?", their friend will say "Oh, that's just (*sigh*the yellow teletubby) or her husband. Must've struck again last night lmao."

What a lovely woman inside and out.

This is such an amazing authentic story.

I love hearing the stories where peoples dying wish is made true. Such an amazing gesture.

That is a sweet random act of kindness.

You are very lucky to have a landlord so kind and understanding.

That used to be my dad. Most popular kid in the neighborhood

Simple innovations go a long way... he looks genuinely happy :)

Ok..now I'm crying *sniff....

Aww that was very sweet. It breaks my heart when parents can't accept their child for who they are. Those types of people should never have kids.

Best use of a church service.

You don't deserve to call yourself a parent if you reject your own child for their sexuality!

this is so kind and thoughtful. everyone should treat the homeless this way

Toys do move!

What a classy act.

People really should look out for each other like this, especially during a time like this when people will be stuck with abusive partners or parents!

people who are kind to animals are the best people

Ok. Now I'm crying.

Beautiful!

Is aquatic biology the same as marine biology?

Can you see how beautiful, strong, and lovely you are? You persevered & brought this child into the world! How wondrous! As a mom who lost four babies to miscarriage, I understand the depth & difficulty of your experience & I celebrate your daughter's arrival into your arms! May she grace the world & may you parent her in joy.

Yes, all of the feels :)
