10 heart-warming little love stories to make you smile

Here are 10 real-life love stories. Each one of them, we think,

encapsulates something about all of humanity. They're filled with so

much feeling that they have the power to inspire and touch each and

every one of us.

We hope you read these and always remember that if you haven't found

them yet, your true love is out there waiting for you as well.

Today, my seventy-five-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."

Today, I walked my daughter down the aisle. Ten years ago I pulled a

fourteen-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.

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.

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.

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 up on me... And yes, I will marry you."

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.

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.

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 five (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.

Today, my eight-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."

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."
