14 Tiny Love Stories to Make You Smile
As we celebrate love this month, here are some tiny love stories that made us smile,
I hope this works for you too... love love love.
I hope this works for you too... love love love.
1. Today, my 75-year-old grandpa who has been blind from cataracts
for almost 15 years said to me, “Your grandma is just the most beautiful thing,
isn’t she?” I paused for a second and said, “Yes she is. I bet you miss seeing
that beauty on a daily basis.” “Sweety,” my grandpa said, “I still see her
beauty every day. In fact, I see it more now than I used to when we were
young.”
2. Today, I walked my daughter down the aisle. Ten years ago I pulled
a 14 year old boy out of his mom’s fire-engulfed SUV after a serious accident.
Doctors initially said he would 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 and smile widely, standing on his own two feet
at the altar as he placed a ring on my daughter’s finger.
3. Today, I walked up to the door of my office (I’m a florist) at 7AM
to find a uniformed Army soldier standing out front waiting. He was on his way
to the airport to go to Afghanistan for a year. He said, “I usually bring home
a bouquet of flowers for my wife every Friday and I don’t want to let her down
when I’m away.” He then placed an order for 52 Friday afternoon deliveries of
flowers to his wife’s office and asked me to schedule one for each week until
he returns. I gave him a 50% discount because it made my day to see something
so sweet.
4. Today, I told my 18 year old grandson that nobody asked me to prom
when I was in high school, so I didn’t attend. He showed up at my house this
evening dressed in a tuxedo and took me as his date to his prom.
5. Today, when she woke up from an eleven month coma, she kissed me
andsaid, “Thank you for being here, and telling me those beautiful stories, and
never giving up on me… And yes, I will marry you.”
6. Today, I was sitting on a park bench eating a sandwich for lunch
when an elderly couple pulled their car up under a nearby oak tree. They rolled
down the windows and turned up some jazz music on the radio. Then the man got
out of the car, walked around to the passenger side, opened the door for the
woman, took her hand and helped her out of her seat, guided her about ten feet
away from the car, and they slow danced for the next half hour under the oak
tree.
7. Today, I operated on a little girl. She needed O- blood. We didn’t
have any, but her twin brother has O- blood. I explained to him that it was a
matter of life and death. He sat quietly for a moment, and then said goodbye to
his parents. I didn’t think anything of it until after we took his blood and he
asked, “So when will I die?” He thought he was giving his life for hers.
Thankfully, they’ll both be fine.
8. Today, my dad is the best dad I could ask for. He’s a loving
husband to my mom (always making her laugh), he’s been to every one of my
soccer games since I was 5 (I’m 17 now), and he provides for our family as a
construction foreman. This morning when I was searching through my dad’s
toolbox for a pliers, I found a dirty folded up paper at the bottom. It was an
old journal entry in my dad’s 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 criminal record
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 I don’t know how he did it, but he did it.
9. 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? You haven’t met every mom in the whole entire world.” My son
squeezed me tighter and said, “Yes I have. You are my world.”
10. Today, I have an elderly patient who is suffering from a severe
case of Alzheimer’s. He can rarely remember his own name, and he often forgets
where he is and what he said just a few minutes beforehand. But by the stretch
of some miracle (perhaps the miracle of love), he remembers who is wife is
every morning when she shows up to spend a few hours with him. He usually
greets her by saying, “Hello my beautiful Kate.”
11. Today, my 21 year old Labrador can barely stand up, can’t see,
can’t hear, and doesn’t have enough strength to bark. But it doesn’t stop her
from wagging her tail a mile a minute every single time I walk into the room.
12. Today is our 10th anniversary, but since my husband and I are both
recently unemployed we agreed not to get each other any gifts. When I woke up
this morning, my husband was already up. I walked downstairs to find beautiful
wild flowers brilliantly arranged all over the house. There must be 400 flowers
total and he didn’t spend a dime.
13. Today, my high school boyfriend, who I thought I’d never see
again, showed me the pictures of the two of us he kept in his Army helmet while
he was overseas for the last 8 years.
14. Today, my 88-year-old grandmother and her 17 year old cat are both
blind. My grandmother’s guide dog leads my grandmother around the house, which
is normal. But lately, he’s been guiding her cat around the house too. When her
cat meows, he walks up and rubs against her, and then she follows directly
behind him to her food, to the litter box, to the other end of the house for a
nap, etc.
