What we need right now is for emotions to be prodded for the right reasons. We need to feel the joy that others feel and empathize with those going through hard times. These pictures will tug on all your heart strings.
1) I Have Never Related More
How can one picture be so sweet, silly, and sad? This guy spent 42 days in a coma. When he woke up, he knew exactly what he wanted. He just couldn’t stop thinking about Taco Bell. So Taco Bell he got.
2) Thanks, Bro
This dad is so proud of his little one. He may be in NICU, but he is there for his dad just like his dad is there for him. This sweetie is a toddler now and boy would we like to see how much he has grown.
3) Waiting For Momma
This baby deer lost his mommy and he thought he found her. Thankfully, his mommy isn’t a literal shooting target. She found him shortly after this picture was taken. Bambi’s family is alive and well.
4) Nothing Can Keep Us Apart
What a little sweetheart. The dog was sad because he had to wear a cone. But his best buddy was there to make him feel all better about it. These two will be best friends forever and ever.
5) Just Three Happy Kids
These three kids finally got adopted and are more than happy to go to their new home. They are all dressed up and can hardly contain their excitement. How can you not be ecstatic for them as well?
6) Senior Care Done Right
This senior care facility does it right. They take their residents on adventures, let them “swim” in the ocean, and all sorts of fun activities. It’s not a prison, it’s a retirement home, after all.
7) Love Can Last
This man’s wife stays with him in the hospital every day while he is sick. Now that’s true love. They never tire of each other and are always there for each other. That’s the kind of love one longs for.
8) It’s A Lifestyle
This public mirror makes sure to tell everyone that they are beautiful. This sweet woman is feeling it and doesn’t feel a day over twenty-five. But I mean, she does shop at sports stores, so maybe she is twenty-five.
9) Love Of Mine
These elephants have spent their life together. Now, they enjoy their last touch before they are taken away form their homes to entertain humans. Now that’s a sad story and very reminiscent of Dumbo.
10) He Finally Held One
This Down-Syndrome man wanted nothing more than to hold a baby. But no one would ever let him. Thankfully, his sister-in-law fulfilled his dreams by letting him have some time with his niece.
11) Looks Like Fun
It looks like these two have spent decades just having a good time. That’s definitely in my relationship goals. Never stop laughing with your significant other and you’ll probably make it.
12) He Loves Tink
This kid sure does love Tinkerbell. “Unbridled joy” is what the original poster called it and I have to agree. He is so ecstatic to meet one of his idols that he can’t contain himself. What a cutie!
13) The Dog Needed It More
She didn’t steal his wheelchair, he believes she needs a wheelchair so he got her one. He takes her for walks every day in one because she can’t go herself. Now that’s sweet dedication to your pet.
14) Save Me, Doggo
Is there anything better than a lifeguard doggo? These dogs in Croatia are trained to be liefguards and are ten times better at it than most humans. Dogs are excellent swimmers, especially these guys.
15) The Best Day Of Their Life
This is the night these two got engaged and I can’t tell who is happier. The beautiful woman is the one who claimed she was so happy that her cheeks might fall off but he looks just as happy.
16) Keeping Them Interview Friendly
This young woman walks around the park and gives homeless people free haircuts. She isn’t the one who posted the picture either, it was an onlooker. She just wants to give them every opportunity possible.
17) Free Rainbows
You know what makes this girl happy? Rainbows! That’s why she colored a bunch of them and decided to give them away to strangers like they are glasses of lemonade. She must have quite a heart.
18) When You Outgrow Your Favorite
This little doggo was pretty tiny not long ago. But now he can hardly fit his snout into his old sweater. I mean, we would call it a sock, but in his world, it’s definitely a sweater or a snout-warmer.
19) America Is Great
According to the original poster, this is what makes America great. Enjoying each other’s company on the subway. Smiling at strangers. Ignoring political agendas and coming together as one.
20) More Than Meets The Eye
Most people look at this tattoo and roll their eyes. But as you can see, she has a scar from heart surgery. This 8-bit heart represents the extra life she was given. Try not to judge people before you know their story.
21) His First Snow
This is a look of pure joy and awe, a look you rarely see in adults. This is the first time this kid has ever seen snow and he can’t stop staring. He might catch a few flakes on his tongue and never forget this moment.
22) They Brought Him Back
Sorry, this one is a sad story. This dog was adopted and then brought back to the shelter shortly after. He was given hope and it was taken away. We can only hope that he was given another chance.
23) Busking On His Own
This homeless musician was busking with borrowed guitars. So an onlooker gave him one of his own. Everyone starts somewhere and this man’s start just got a whole lot easier, thanks to a kind stranger.
24) No Backstory Needed
Do we need a story here? This man is caring for sick animals and it doesn’t look like he’s in the nicest zoo in town either. He’s simply nursing this baby calf back to health because it’s the right thing to do.
25) Anyone Can Do It
He may look tough, but that’s on purpose. He’s actually been homeless and unemployed for years. This is his first day on the job and he’s totally crying on the inside. His kids are so proud!
26) He Thought He’d Be First
This brother just witnessed his little brother’s first kiss. He’s shocked, proud, and a wee bit jealous. Well, actually he’s a little young for all that, he doesn’t think much of it now does he?
27) Always Share Your Umbrella
This kid must have had good parents. He’s sharing his umbrella with a deer that’s wandering the streets. Yet another thing that Japan is doing right. Keeping the streets clean in every way.
28) He Deserves Honor
This teen is a hero. He attempted to stop a school shooter and saved the lives of many students. He was honored at graduation and there wasn’t a dry tear in the stadium. These are the real heroes.
29) Who Is Happier?
The cat loves watching everything fly by the window and the dude loves watching his cat enjoy things. Isn’t that what all animal owners love? To watch their pet having the time of their life?
30) Her Dream Came True
All this grandma wanted was to ride again. She was 102 when this picture was taken and volunteers helped her onto the horse and enjoy a trip around the stables. Did somebody call Make-A-Wish?
31) She’s Number One
This isn’t what she wanted to do on her 21st birthday, but chemo called and she answered. She admits she’s just happy that she made it to 21 and hopes to make it to 22. It was her birthday wish.
32) He Came In Last
This marine finished last just to make sure that a boy who lost his group crossed the finish line. That is quite the gesture. It’s no wonder that he’s a Seal of Honor, he’s a remarkable man.
33) She Wanted A Mommy Drink
It looks like her mommy has some rough days. What did she want for her birthday? A “mommy drink” of course. Her mommy made it happen in a kid-friendly way and she was so happy.
34) How Hong Kong Protests
I’m not sure what they were protesting but I do know that it was not done like it is in the USA. According to the original poster, this is how Hong Kong does it and it shines a light on how others do it so wrong.
35) Touch Those Paws
These two are so inseperable that when they sleep, they have at least their feet touching at all times. When kids have relationships like those, they last a lifetime. Hopefully, a long lifetime!
36) The Poor Duckie
Most people will shake their heads and walk on by. But this kind soul untangled the duck, nursed it back to health, and let it be free once again. Now that is how you show that you care.
37) Raise Each Other Up
Everyone deserves to see their favorite band. This kid couldn’t see the stage, so those around him lifted him up so he had the best seat in the house. That’s pretty cool of them if you ask me.
38) Cleaning Up The Rivers
It’s completely ridiculous that people litter without a care, knowing others will have to clean up their mess. But these volunteers do their best to think only of the wellness of us and our planet.
39) Her First Full Night
Every mom remembers their baby’s first full night of sleep. You may be up checking on them every thirty minutes, but it will be the best sleep of their life. This little girl had her first full night of sleep and you can see the joy on her face.
40) Subway Is The Bomb
The truth is, not all Subways took part in this. This sign was actually seen in Melbourne and it may have been the only Subway that participated. Maybe one day, restaurants will internationalize the movement.
41) Her First FaceTime
This grandma only thought she knew what FaceTime was. But when her grandaughter shared it with her, she was so happy that she could hardly keep it together. She could now see her family no matter where they were.
42) Look Ma, I Made It
This picture was taken in 1955 before the couple’s first date. A few years later they married and were married for 60 years before death separated them. Aren’t they the prettiest couple?
43) Bridge The Gap
An artist built a seesaw between Mexico and the United States. Kids and adults alike enjoy playing together and remembering that we’re all of one race with a heart set on the same goals.
44) Brothers Forever
This man took his disabled brother through an IronMan competition. This is them finishing. And as you can see, they’re not even last. They are brothers and will be brothers forever.
45) He Now Reigns Supreme
This many with Down Syndrome wanted to fight the champion so bad. Of course, they let him and he won with flying colors. Look at his face and tell me that he’s not a champion at heart too.
46) It’s For The Birds
I know they say not to feed the birds, but something about this one is heartwarming. This could be the bird’s only thing he eats. At least it’s bread and not something more harmful to the little guy.
47) Need A Friend?
This young man saw this older man was eating alone. When he started talking to him, the older gentleman started getting excited, so the younger man stuck around and sat with him while he ate.
48) Dressed For Success
This boy makes bowties for dogs in shelters for free so that they will take better pictures and have a better chance of getting adopted. Now that is a smart idea from a smart kid who is going to make a difference.
49) Not Your Average Photo
This wasn’t your everyday shot. This was the last night that this owner saw his dog alive. He long the battle to cancer after twelve years. Their friendship will last forever and the love will never fade.
50) Sometimes It Is A Cat
It’s not a myth. Sometimes, it’s a cat that gets left behind in a burning building. This woman was beside herself when she realized what was happening. This fireman took it upon himself to do his job right.
51) Born Free
This dog looks really excited to be out of the car and on the open sands. He loves the beach and spending time with the fam. But most of all, he loves running and making silly faces while he does so.
52) Imagine Meeting Tom Hardy
This woman was happy enough to meet Tom Hardy and didn’t ask for anything. But he paid for her groceries and helped her carry it all to the car. He didn’t ask for the photo either, he was just being cool.
53) ARK, Everyone
It might not have been much but it really is the thought that counts. Someone will look at this and think, “man, someone was thinking of me and they don’t even know me.” A little kindness goes a long way.
54) A “Ruff” Day At School
This girl had a tough day at school and she needed her dog to comfort her when she got home. The dog is always there for her and knows exactly what she’s going through. Obedience school was a pain!
55) Is She Shrinking?
It looks a lot like she’s shrinking but the dog is just growing faster than she thought he would. Must be Clifford. Lucky for him, she’s happier and happier in each picture. The two make the perfect pair.
56) Just Be Happy
This young man knows how to be happy. He has a rare condition known as Hypotrichosis. This was taken soon after he got to come home after treatment. He’s just happy to spend time with his family.
57) After So Long
It had been decades since this man had seen his Naval Commander. But he didn’t skip a beat, he gave the salute and showed him the same respect that he always had. Don’t they look happy?
