Take A Look At 40 Of The Most Wholesome Secrets People Revealed In This Online Group

I've been saving up money for my parents retirement since I was 16. We lost almost everything in the 08' crash including their savings accounts, their jobs, and our home, but they've tried their hardest to not let it impact my and my brother's lives.

It's not a lot right now, but it's the least I can do.

I secretly drop pennies. For many years, my Uncle used to bend down and pick up every penny he came across, which was maddening to my Aunt who was worried the neighbors would see him and assume they were poor, needing every penny the could find. They used to tease each other about it.

My Uncle got cancer and passed away after a very long struggle. After the funeral we were walking to the car and my Aunt saw a penny, and said, "Oh John is thinking of me. He left this penny for me today." So whenever I am around my Aunt, I purposely drop pennies on the ground for her to find. I haven't been caught yet, and I hope I never do.

Without revealing too much information, my previous job had a major perk: a lottery system in which the winners got to accompany a group to various locations in the world for a hybrid vacation/work trip.

I won the lottery one year and was selected to go to Istanbul.

I heard a coworker talking to her spouse on the phone about how bummed she was she did not get it (she was selected as my backup, but did not know who she was backing up). She had hoped to visit a long lost family member. She is a quiet, sweet, helpful person. Very behind the scenes, rather underappreciated.

I gave up my spot due to a "prior commitment". She got to go instead. I had a great time looking at her pictures.

I'm probably late so this'll get buried, but when I'm in the car with my military-hardened dad, he will occasionally go on long rants about how much he loves, respects, and appreciates my mom for everything she does, and he'll start saying these things completely unprompted and out of the blue, and my mom has no idea.

I've started recording these with my phone without him knowing, and plan to throw them all together into one big file and play it for them on one of their anniversaries.

I've had my cat for 18 years. I've had my husband for 3 years. He always wanted a cat and never had one.

Their love is strong and true, but obviously the cat is slightly more attached to/familiar with me.

My husband loves that cat so much, and gets a little bit of a thrill out of the idea that the cat loves us equally even though I had a 15 year head start.

What my husband doesn't know is that I sometimes intentionally annoy the cat so that he will go snuggle with my husband instead, because it is so damn cute how giddy my husband gets about it.

My best friend's mom passed away from cancer 4 years ago on Easter Sunday. She was like a second mom to me. She was very religious and always dreamed of going to Jerusalem.

When she passed away, my best friend became reckless and would try to drown his feelings in booze and cover up the dark with the bright lights of clubs and women. This went on for a couple years.

Eventually, my best friend hit beyond rock bottom to where he was living in his car with only a backpack of clothes and his mom's ashes. I let him stay with me and he turned it around. He stopped going to bars. He started caring again. He started saving money. He decided he would spread his mom's ashes in Jerusalem.

Well, he got into a car accident last month and totaled his car. Not his fault. Someone plowed through a red light. Medical bills and attorneys fees drained his savings. But it's okay. He told me how there was a bank error and someone deposited $3000.00 into his bank account. He's all set to be in Jerusalem around Easter and my Hawaii trip was postponed.

Me and my friends once bought a valentine for a boy who wasn't very popular in our class. We didn't put our names on it, but he was so happy to have received one, he kept turning it over and over in his hands all day.

Not about me, but it's a secret that nobody knows except me. My dad walked out on me when I was 14, but he kept in touch with my older brother. He bought my older brother a car, a $3,000 DSLR camera (when they were a new thing), took him on trips, etc. He hasn't said a word to me since I was 14, though. It's f***** up. Anyway, when I turned 16 my grandfather went out and bought me a car. He'd have me over a couple weekends every month to help him around the house, help work on the boats with him, etc. At the time I thought he just needed help. I thought my problems with my dad were my fault for misbehaving for something, and that nobody in my family knew about them except me and my mom. The older I get, the more I realize my mom must have gone to him over the way my father was treating me, and he stepped in to help raise me. He was the best man I ever knew.

I'm taking my science geek housemate to Switzerland to go to CERN at the weekend.

I've tricked him into taking Friday and Monday off work, stolen his passport, slowly been stealing his clothes from him when he's hung them up to dry.

I'm an expert packer so I've fit all we need for the weekend in one backpack so it won't look unusual when we leave for our 'day out at the beach' on Friday.

I was ill for a while and he was practically my nurse so I owe him. I LOVE surprises.

When I was 17 years old my BFF and I decided to take the snowmobiles out for a ride in the blizzard. We thought it would be amazing to hit some fresh forming powder and drifts. The visibility was low so we stuck to the main roads.

We ended up on a desolate road with two homes and acres and acres of farm land. As we got close to the homes we noticed some lights and went over to see what was going on. It turned out that the old couple living there had ventured out to the store to get food in case they got snowed in. They made the long drive and everything went fine (they had to have hit several drifts that were 1-4 feet tall). Things only went wrong when they slowed down to turn into the drive. They didn't dare leave their car out because they feared a snow plow would hit it. My friend and I in full snow gear, helmets and face masks dug the car out and shoveled the driveway and made sure they got the car in the garage.

I thought that was the end of the story. I didn't even mention anything to my parents. Lo and behold the next day at church this couple was there. Our church gives time for the congregation to get up and talk about their beliefs/faith building stories. Sure enough the old man gets up and starts telling about their trip to the store last night. He talked about getting stuck and worrying he would never get his car unstuck and destroyed by a snow plow. He then said two angles appeared, barely spoke, unstuck his car and disappeared as quickly as they arrived. He said that he had been pleading with the Lord for some help but figured it could never arrive because no one ever travels the road. My mom looked at me and knew it was me. She didn't say anything, I didn't say anything.

On my dog's 10th birthday, I anonymously donated $1000 to the shelter where I got him from. I didn't tell anyone because I didn't want to cheapen it. Frankly I wish I could have donated more; he's my best friend and he walked me down the aisle at my wedding. He loves unconditionally and drools uncontrollably.

I'm a male ER nurse, with tattoos, muscles, and gruff voice. The L&D nurses sometimes send for me to calm down babies that cry a lot because I'm so good at it. My friends in my band, nor the guys that I box with know that.

I'm ten years older than my youngest brother but we've always been close.

When he was 5 he decided to test out whether or not Santa was real so he told our parents that he wanted Lego's for Christmas when really he wanted a giant teddy bear from a store we go to a lot. (The only reason I knew about his test is because I overheard him talking to his friend when I was babysitting the two of them)

The bear was pretty pricey for a 15 year old without a regular allowance or a job that wasn't babysitting but I got the money together and on Christmas day that giant teddy bear was sitting next to the tree with a tag that said 'from santa ' on it. He was soooo happy :)

He 14 now and still has that giant Teddy bear.

When I see two girls walking by and one is clearly more beautiful than the other I keep the eye contact with the less attractive one and smile. In school I was not very attractive, not very athletic and not very popular. There was a company of popular girls and a couple of them would always say hi to me, although they were not friends with me, congratulate me on my birthday, invite me to events. These little gestures can mean a world to people with low self esteem. Those small tokens of attention from those girls inspired me to get my s*** together in college, do sports, socialize more, pay attention to details, and not be an a******.

An old lady was buying food for her pets, but she was about 7 bucks short and started sorting out what she could keep so that she could feed her pets and lower her bill. I knew the cashier and said put it all on my bill. The old lady started to cry, the cashier started to cry. Later the cashier told me the ladies husband is bed ridden and that little bit of help was probably a miracle to her.

I'm taking my daughters to McDonalds and the movies after school today.

They have no idea.

They think we're going home to do spring cleaning (which I already did).

I can hardly contain myself, I'm so excited.

When I was a kid I used to always twist the quarter machines on the way into stores just in case. Got lucky a couple of times and a few free toys. Now that I'm grown if I'm leaving a store with them I like to drop change into them if I have it and leave them half twisted.

A friend of mine has problems with paying his bills. His parents don't support him that much and he can't get a good student loan because of stupid regulations. He often containers food at a local super market and then invites me to dinner and to hang out. He is about to get his bachelor degree, and has to be in lab almost all day, thus he cannot work more than a few hours a week. I sometimes leave behind 5-20€ randomly lying around in his room to support him. He wouldn't take the money if I gave it to him directly.

I leave quarters/dimes in gumball and prize machines at the grocery store in memory of my little girl. Only once have I managed to see a kid find the money and he was Christmas morning levels of excited about his good fortune. I bawled like a baby the whole way home.

Saw a man in a wheelchair sitting in the rain. Asked if he needed help and he did. Pushed him to his destination, about a twenty minute walk.

Went home late and got scolded by parents who didn't believe me.

I guess it's a secret that it's true!
