    35 Tiny Love Stories to Make You Smile

    1. Today, I walked my daughter down the aisle. Ten years ago I pulled a 14 year old boy

    out of his moms fire-engulfed SUV after a serious accident. Doctors initially said hewould never walk again. My daughter came with me several times to visit him at the

    hospital. Then she started going on her own. Today, seeing him defy the odds andsmile widely, standing on his own two feet at the altar as he placed a ring on mydaughters finger

    2. Today, I walked up to the door of my office (Im a florist) at 7AM to find a

    uniformed Army soldier standing out front waiting. He was on his way to the airportto go to Afghanistan for a year. He said, I usually bring home a bouquet of flowers

    for my wife every Friday and I dont want to let her down when Im away. He then

    placed an order for 52 Friday afternoon deliveries of flowers to his wifes office and

    asked me to schedule one for each week until he returns. I gave him a 50% discountbecause it made my day to see something so sweet.

    3. Today, I told my 18 year old grandson that nobody asked me to prom when I was in

    high school, so I didnt attend. He showed up at my house this evening dressed in atuxedo and took me as his date to his prom.

    4. Today, when she woke up from an eleven month coma, she kissed me and said,

    Thank you for being here, and telling me those beautiful stories, and never giving upon me And yes, I will marry you.

    5. Today, my dad is the best dad I could ask for. Hes a loving husband to my mom

    (always making her laugh), hes been to every one of my soccer games since I was 5

    (Im 17 now), and he provides for our family as a construction foreman. This morningwhen I was searching through my dads toolbox for a pliers, I found a dirty folded up

    paper at the bottom. It was an old journal entry in my dads handwriting dated exactly

    one month before the day I was born. It reads, I am eighteen years old, an alcoholic

    who is failing out of college, a past cutter, and a child abuse victim with a criminalrecord of auto theft. And next month, teen father will be added to the list. But I

    swear I will make things right for my little girl. I will be the dad I never had. And Idont know how he did it, but he did it.

    6. Today, my 8-year-old son hugged me and said, You are the best mom in the whole

    entire world! I smiled and sarcastically replied, How do you know that? Youhavent met every mom in the whole entire world. My son squeezed me tighter and

    said, Yes I have. You are my world.

    7. Today, my high school boyfriend, who I thought Id never see again, showed me the

    pictures of the two of us he kept in his Army helmet while he was overseas for thelast 8 years.

    8. Today, my older brother has donated bone marrow 16 times to help treat my cancer.He communicates directly with my doctor and does it without me even asking orknowing when he has an appointment. And today my doctor informed me that the

    treatment appears to be working. Cancer cells have been drastically reduced in the

    last few months.9. Today, I was driving home with my grandfather when he suddenly made a u-turn and

    said, I forgot to get your grandmother a bouquet of flowers. Ill pick up one from the

    florist at the corner down here. Itll only take a second. Whats so special about

    today that you have to buy her flowers? I asked. Theres nothing specifically

    special about today, my grandfather said. Every day is special. Your grandmother

    loves flowers. They put a smile on her face.10. Today, and every day for the last two months since I returned to school with burn

    scars on my face after being hospitalized for nearly a month for injuries I sustained in

    a house fire, a red rose was taped to my locker when I got to school in the morning. Ihave no clue who is getting to school early and leaving me these roses. Ive even

    arrived early myself a few times to try to figure it out, but each time the rose was

    already there.11. Today, due to Alzheimers and dementia, my grandfather usually cant remember

    who my grandmother is when he wakes up in the morning. It bothered my

    grandmother a year ago when it first happened, but now shes fully supportive of his

    condition. In fact, she plays a game every day in which she tries to get my grandfatherto ask her to re-marry him before dinnertime. She hasnt failed yet.

    12. Today, I waited on an elderly couple. The way they looked at each other you could

    see they were in love. When the husband mentioned that they were celebrating their

    anniversary, I smiled and said, Let me guess. You two have been together forever.They laughed and the wife said, Actually, no, today is our 5 year anniversary. We

    both outlived our spouses and then life blessed us with one more shot at love.13. Today, there are two senior boys at my school who have an openly gay relationship.

    They have experienced verbal humiliation on a daily basis for the last two years, yet

    they continue to hold each others hand in the hallways. Despite threats andvandalized lockers, they showed up to prom this evening wearing matching tuxedos.

    Seeing them on the dance floor, smiling from ear to ear in spite of all the haters .

    14. Today, my sister and I were in a bad car accident. My sister is Mrs. Popular at school

    she knows everyone. Im a bit of an introvert I hang-out with the same 2 girls allthe time. My sister immediately posted a comment on Facebook about our accident.

    And while all her friends were commenting, my 2 friends showed up independently at

    the scene of the accident before the paramedics arrived.15. Today, on our 10th anniversary, she handed me a suicide note she wrote when she

    was 22, on the exact day we met. And she said, For all these years I didnt want you

    to know how foolish and unstable I was back when we met. But even though youdidnt know, you saved me. Thank you.

    16. Today, Im a mother of 2 and a grandmother of 4. At 17 I got pregnant with twins.

    When my boyfriend and friends found out I wasnt going to abort them, they turned a

    cold shoulder to me. But I pressed forward, worked full-time while attending school,graduated high school and college, and met a guy in one of my classes who has loved

    my children like his own for the last 50 years. MMT

    favorite vodka, and then asked me out on a date.

    than her. They started dating when she was 14 and he was 17. I never liked the age

    difference when they were kids. When he turned 18 a week before she turned 15, myhusband insisted they break-up. They maintained a friendship, but went on to date

    other people. Now at the ages of 24 and 27, Ive never seen two people more in love.

    19. Today, after I heard that my mom stayed home from work with the flu, I stopped byWal-Mart on my way home from school to pick her up some canned soup. I ran into

    tissues, tampons, 4 romantic comedy DVDs and a bouquet of flowers. My dad makesme smile and .

    20. Today, I was sitting on a hotel balcony watching 2 lovers in the distance walk along

    each others company. As they got closer, I realized they were my parents. Myparents almost got divorced 8 years ago.

    21. Today, Im only 17, but Ive been with my boyfriend, Jake, for 3 years, and last night

    was the first time we spent the night together. Weve never done it, and we didnt

    last night either. Instead, we baked cookies, watched two comedies, laughed, playedXbox and fell asleep in each others arms. Despite the warnings from my parents,

    hes been nothing but a gentleman and a best friend. MMT22. Today, when I tapped the side of my wheelchair and told my husband, Youre the

    grandmother remarried. And since Im only 17, Ive never seen her so happy in all

    my life. Its inspiring to see two people so in love at their age. MMT its never toolate.

    27. Today, at a jazz club in San Francisco I saw a man and woman enjoying a drink

    together. The woman was a dwarf and the man must have been 6 feet tall. Later in

    laughing together about all sorts of stuff. We exchanged numbers and the rest is

    history. We just celebrated our 8th wedding anniversary. MMT
