50 People Are Sharing The Most Wholesome Things They Have Seen

I read a story once about a woman who's father had died before her wedding and his organs were donated. The man who received his heart walked her down the aisle.

It was bedtime so everyone was in their rooms but I was getting water in the kitchen. As i leave and go to the hallway where my room and the other 2 rooms for my brothers, I see my dog leave my room, poke his head into my brother's room and then my other brothers room.

He was totally doing a headcount. It makes sense bc we're a pretty big family in a big house. What makes it better is that my dog is no bigger than a beagle, but he still feels like the protector.

I work with a lot of kids, about fourty. We have one kiddo who has horrible trauma, and is hard to understand a lot of the times.

I love my job more than I can explain, and I treat the kids as my own, including calling them, honey, or sweetheart. The kiddo who isn't able to talk much and struggles to be understood started calling me honey and refuses to be called anything else other than honey when I talk to him.

When I call him his name he always says to me "ME HONEY, YOU HONEY" which melts my heart. Especially knowing he never has had anyone who made him feel special or safe, the fact that he clings to this makes me so happy.

At a concert I saw a buddy walking with his friend who was blind and also somewhat physically disabled. I overheard him telling his blind friend “oh man I was so smashed last night! I couldn’t walk or see nothin. Thank god for you and your cane. You were steering us everywhere like a champ I would have been helpless without you!”. It was really so heart warming and you could see how much it meant to his friend to be told how he was the helper, not the person being helped. I’m assuming he was being a little hyperbolic, but the amount of joy I saw brought to his friends face from his kind words was so heartwarming.

I have bipolar disorder. Sometimes it can get scary. One day, I flew into a rage over nothing. I was SCREAMING as loud as I could and punching pillows (I'm responsible!) and my dog (who is NOT a trained therapy dog) came over to me with his head bent low, laid in my lap, and kissed me until I calmed down. He is my angel.

I was called at work by my wife, she asked me to go as fast as possible to my mother's house where she usually has lunch since it was near her University; but wouldn't tell me why. I get on the first of the two buses I had to take to get there. While worrying and travelling, my aunt called me and told me my mother had suddenly passed away; my wife couldn't find the words to tell me earlier. Me, a fat bearded man broke down crying, and an older woman worriedly asked me what was wrong. In between sobs I told her, and she insisted I take the money she was offering to me and take a cab there. I will probably never meet that woman again; but the kindness she did to me will never be forgotten

I teach high school English. I had two students who always worked together - one is black & one is Hispanic. My Hispanic student would always struggle understanding word connotation, and one day she got really defeated about it. At once, my other student touched her arm & said, “Listen, this is your second language. You’re going a great job. I am really proud of you.” It took a lot out of me not to cry right then.

My last week of high school, our lunch lady gave out small gifts to some of the seniors. Just the kids that took the time to chat with her that she got to know more personally. I received a sketchbook with a sweet good luck note in it. I was always in art club and was going to school for fine arts. So she took the time to get all of us a gift that was specific to us... This lady saw hundreds of kids a day and still took the effort to get to know us.

One of the kids in my class was talking to one of our new kids. It came up in conversation that the new kids shoes didn't fit and made his feet hurt. The boys also realized that they wear the same size shoes. The next day the OG kiddo comes in with a pair of Jordans he never wears for the new kid to have and a note from his mom saying it was ok. It was one of the most precious things I've ever seen.

My mom is a piano teacher and was shopping in a music store. A 10-year-old kid came in wanting to buy his first musical instrument, particularly a ukulele, so the clerk showed him some where the entry level was about $65. He ran back outside to his mom waiting in the car, then came back in and asked "What is the cheapest musical instrument you have?" and the clerk started showing him a $3 kazoo.

Overhearing this made my mom sad, so she went over and asked the kid if he really wanted a ukulele and would promise to practice and learn it. Hooked him up with the instrument, a beginner book, picks, etc. When she left the store the kid and his mom both waited to give her a hug

I was working at a school just down the road from my 9-year-old daughter's school. Everyday she walked from my school to hers, having to cross the street on her way. I could watch her out the window for most of her walk and she always stopped and chatted with the old man who was the crossing guard. She is such a friendly kid!

One day, it was time for her to walk over to school when it started pouring outside. I hadn't anticipated the rain so I had no umbrella for her and felt terrible. We zipped up her coat and put up her hood, hoping she wouldn't arrive at school soaking wet. When she got to the crossing guard, I watched him hand her his own umbrella and send her on her way. What a kind man! On her way back after school she brought it back to him. The next day we made him some brownies.

I used to work as a dishwasher at a retirement home and every Sunday no matter how much snow was on the ground, how hot it was, or how busy he was this sweet old man would go outside and refill his wife's birdfeeder so she could watch them from the window of their room

I was in the local supermarket doing my shopping. I was pushing my cart in the frozen food section when i came across a young woman in her 20s, I'm estimating. Her little girl (i think around 2 years old) was sitting in the cart she was pushing. She was beautifully cooing to her little girl, "i love you. I love you", among other sweet things and sounds.

Now, i never "met" this young lady. I never talked to her. Just watched her treat her daughter very sweetly with all the love in the world. It was the most nicest thing to see and experience because my own upbringing was a living hell. My parents broke up when i was young, around 5-6 years old. Mother got custody of us kids and she was a mentally ill, abusive, psychotic monster. I never knew a scene like that in my own life. All i got from my mother is daily yelling, screaming, cursing, nagging, and hitting. On more than one occasion she told me to my face how she wished I was never born.

I just knew, with a kind, loving mother like that in her life, that little girl was going to grow up into a nice, normal, happy human being. Having a mother like that makes all the difference in the world.

I gifted a used electric wheelchair to a family who couldn't afford one. The kid, maybe 14 years old, was kinda grumpy looking when he arrived, didn't say much. Once we got him in the chair and he was zooming around he was all smiles; his mother was also super happy. I heard the next day he told his sister to clear off the driveway so he could practice with it, and by the weekend he had gone to a fair.

I forgot a plate for the waffle I was making in the machine at college and I went sprinting across the dining commons to get one because the timer was about to go off and I ran straight toward the plates and this guy was standing there and his immediate gut reaction was to open his arms and hug me. I have no idea who he was and the waffle didn’t burn.

I was on what I call a rumpled suit flight. One of those flights on a Friday at 6 from NY to DC where most of the flight consists of business people in suits drinking $14 double whiskeys. A fellow rumpled suit sat across the aisle from me next to a mother and her kid. When she could the kid brought down her tray table and a coloring book and started coloring. I didn't hear what was said but at some point the kid handed the rumpled suit a coloring book and they spent the remainder of the flight coloring and chatting. I was kinda like, "I want to color too."

A father leaving a restaurant with his two daughters. They walked out the door and the girls headed right while he headed left. He called them back by saying, 'Car is over here, butterflies!'

Just before they get into the car one girl complained how bright the sun was and he said, without missing a beat, "Just like your futures!"

One time while on a bus in Mozambique a mom was breastfeeding her baby and while she fed her the baby held up a cookie in her tiny hand and pressed it to her mother’s lips. The baby was feeding her mom while her mom fed her.

I'm from Europe and did a semester abroad in the states. Last month of the semester my girlfriend and I traveled the west coast. LA, San Francisco, grand canyon.... Before we went back to San Diego we went to Las Vegas a couple nights. We had our pillows, sheets and stuff back from the apartment in our car in case we needed to sleep in it. Last day we went to the famous Las Vegas sign to take a picture and there were a couple homeless people sitting around. We decided to ask one of them if he wants our pillows and sheets. He was very happy and we threw in a couple of snacks. Cookies and Soda. When we went back to the car and drove past him we saw him sitting with another homeless person sharing the snacks :) I don't know why, but seeing him - who doesn't have much - sitting there and enjoying and sharing this with his bud made us happy. I think my girlfriend nearly cried.

I often think back about it and hope we made his and his buddies day a bit better.

I saw a police officer stop traffic to help a turtle safely cross a very busy intersection. He stopped his car, picked up the turtle and moved it to a marsh on the other side of the 4 lane intersection.
