Tiny Love Stories to Make You Smile

Here's a selection of 60 tiny love stories recently submitted to our
sister site, Makes Me Think , thatnot only made us think, but warmed
our hearts and made us smile too. We hope they do the same for you.
1. Today, my 75-year-old grandpa who has been blind from cataracts
foralmost 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 seeher beauty every day. In fact, I see it more
now than I used to when we were young."MMT
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 thehospital. Then
she started going on her own. Today, seeing himdefy the odds and
smilewidely, standing on his own two feet at the altar as he placed a
ring on my daughter's finger MMT.
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 bringhome a bouquet of flowers for my wife every Friday and I
don'twant 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 untilhe returns. I gave him
a50% discount because it made my day to see something so sweet. MMT
4. Today, I told my 18 yearold 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. MMT
5. Today, when she woke up from an eleven month coma, she kissedme and
said, "Thank you for being here, andtelling me those beautiful
stories, and never giving up on me… And yes, I will marry you." MMT
6. Today, I was sitting on a park bench eating a sandwich for lunch
when an elderly couplepulled 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, openedthe 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. MMT
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
itwas a matter of life anddeath. He sat quietly fora moment, and then
said goodbye to his parents. I didn't think anything of it until after
we took his bloodand he asked, "So when will I die?" He thought he was
giving his life for hers. Thankfully, they'll both be fine. MMT
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'sbeen to every one of my
soccer games since Iwas 5 (I'm 17 now), andhe provides for our family
as a constructionforeman. 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 littlegirl. I will be the dad I never
had." And I don't know how he did it, but he did it. MMT
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'tmet every mom in the whole entire world."
My son squeezed me tighter and said, "Yes I have. You are my world."
MMT
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 saidjust 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 tospend a few
hours with him. He usually greets her by saying, "Hello my beautiful
Kate." MMT
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 intothe room. MMT
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. MMT
13. Today, my high schoolboyfriend, who I thought I'd never see again,
showed me thepictures of the two of us he kept in his Army helmet
while he was overseas for the last 8 years. MMT
14. Today, my 88-year-oldgrandmother 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'sbeen 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. MMT
15. Today, I watched in horror through the kitchen window as
my2-year-old slipped andfell head first into the pool. But before I
could get to her, our Labrador Retriever, Rex, jumped in after her,
grabbed her by her shirt collar and pulled her to the shallow steps
where she could stand. MMT
16. Today, my older brother has donated bone marrow 16 timesto help
treat my cancer. He communicates directlywith my doctor and does it
without me even asking or knowing when he hasan 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."
MMT
17. 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. I'llpick up one from the florist at the corner down here.
It'll only take a second." "What's so special about today that you
have to buy her flowers?" I asked. "There's nothing specifically
special about today," my grandfather said. "Every day is special. Your
grandmother loves flowers. They put a smile on her face." MMT
18. Today, I re-read the suicide letter I wrote on the afternoon of
September 2nd 1996 about two minutes before my girlfriend showed up at
my doorand told me, "I'm pregnant." Suddenly I felt I had a reason to
live. Today she's my wife. We've been happily married for 14years. And
my daughter, who is almost 15 now, has two younger brothers.I re-read
my suicide letter from time to time as a reminder to be thankful – I
am thankful I got a second chance at life and love. MMT
19. Today, and every day for the last two months since I returned to
school with burn scars on my face after being hospitalized for nearlya
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. I haveno clue who is
gettingto school early and leaving me these roses. I've even arrived
early myself a few times to try to figure it out, but each time the
rose was already there. MMT
20. Today was the 10 yearanniversary of my dad's passing. When I was a
kid he used to hum a short melody tome as I was going to sleep. When I
was 18, as he rested in his hospital bed fighting cancer, the roles
were reversed and I hummed the melody to him. I haven't heard that
melody since, until last night. My fiancé and I were turned on our
sides looking at each other in bed when he started humming it to me.
His mom used to hum it to him when he was a kid. MMT
21. Today, a woman who must have her voicebox removed due to cancer is
enrolled in my sign language class. Her husband, four children, two
sisters, brother, mother, father, and twelve close friends are also
enrolled in the same class so they can communicate with herafter she
loses her ability to speak aloud. MMT
22. Today, my 11-year-oldson speaks fluent sign language because his
best friend, Josh, who he grew up with from the time he was an infant,
is deaf. Seeing their genuine friendship evolve and grow over the
years MMT.
23. Today, due to Alzheimer's and dementia, my grandfather usually
can't 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
she's fully supportive of his condition. In fact, she plays a game
every day in which she tries to get my grandfather to ask herto
re-marry him before dinnertime. She hasn't failed yet. MMT
24. Today, my dad passed away from natural causes at the age of 92. I
found his body resting peacefully in the recliner in his bedroom. In
his lap, facing upright, were three framed 8×10 photographs of my mom
who passed away about 10 years ago. She was the love of his life, and
apparently the last thing he wanted to see before he passed. MMT
25. Today, I am the proud mom of a blind 17-year-old boy. Although my
son was born without his sense of sight, it hasn't stopped him from
being a straight A student, a guitarist (whose band just surpassed
25,000 downloads of their first album), and a loving boyfriend to his
long-term girlfriend, Valerie. Justtoday, his younger sister asked him
what he likes about Valerie, and he said, "Everything. She's
beautiful." MMT
26. Today, I waited on an elderly couple. The way they looked at each
other… you could see they were inlove. 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 shotat love." MMT
27. Today, my father found my little sister alive, chained up in a
barn. She was abducted near Mexico City almost 5 months ago.
Authorities stopped actively searching for her a few weeks later. My
mom and I laid her soul to rest. We had a funeral for her last month.
All of our family and friends attended the ceremony except my father.
Instead he kept looking for her. He said he "loved her too much to
give up." And she's back home now because he neverdid. MMT
28. 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 other's
hand in the hallways. Despite threats and vandalized 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
MMT.
29. Today, my sister and I were in a bad car accident. My sister is
Mrs. Popular at school – she knows everyone.I'm a bit of an introvert
– I hang-out with the same 2 girls all the time. My sister immediately
posted a comment on Facebookabout our accident. And while all her
friends were commenting, my 2 friends showed up independently at the
scene of the accident before the paramedicsarrived. MMT
30. Today, my fiancé returned home from his last tour of duty
overseas. Yesterday hewas just my boyfriend,or so I thought. Almosta
year ago, he mailed me a package. He told me I wasn't allowed toopen
it until he got home in two weeks. But then his tour got extended for
another 11 months. Today, when he got home, hetold me to open the
package, and just as I pulled the ring out of the box, he got down on
one knee. MMT
31. Today, my 12-year-oldson, Sean, and I stopped by the nursing home
together for the first time in several months. Usually I comealone see
my mother who's suffering from Alzheimer's. When we walked into the
lobby,the nurse said, "Hi, Sean!" and then buzzed us in. "How does she
know your name?" I asked. "Oh, I swing by here on my walk home from
school all the time to say hi to Grandma," Sean said. I had no idea.
MMT
32. Today, I found an old hand written note my mom wrote when she was
a senior in high school. On it is a list of qualities she hoped she
would someday find in a boyfriend. The list is basically an exact
description of my dad, who she didn't meet until she was 27. MMT
33. Today, I've been chemistry lab partnerswith one of the most
beautiful (and popular) girls at our school since the beginning of the
school year. And although I never would have had the courage to talk
to her otherwise, she's totally down to earth and sweet. We spend our
time in the lab chatting, laughing, and getting A's (she's smart too),
and just recently we started talking a little bit outside of class
too. Last week when I heard that she didn't have a date to our
homecoming dance, I desperately wanted toask her, but chickenedout
every time I was about to. Then this afternoon, at lunchtime, she ran
up to me and formally asked me to ask her tothe dance. So I did, and
she kissed me on the cheek and said, "Yes!" MMT
34. Today, on our 10th anniversary, she handed me a suicide note she
wrote when she was 22, on the exact day we met. Andshe said, "For all
these years I didn't want you to know how foolish and unstable I was
back when we met. But even though you didn't know, you saved me. Thank
you."MMT
35. Today, my grandpa keeps an old, candid photo on his nightstand of
my grandma and him laughing together at some party in the 1960's. My
grandma passed away from cancer in 1999 when I was 7. This evening
when I was at his house, my grandpa caught me staring at the photo. He
walked up, hugged me from behind and said, "Remember, just because
something doesn't last forever, doesn't mean it wasn'tworth your
while." MMT
36. Today, I sat down with my two daughters, ages 4 and 6, to explain
to them that we have to move out of our 4 bedroom house and into a 2
bedroom apartment for awhile until I can find another job that pays
well. My daughters looked at each other for a moment and then my
youngest daughter turned to me and asked, "Are we all moving into the
apartment together?" "Yes," I replied. "Oh, sono big deal then," she
said. MMT
37. Today, I met the prettiest woman on a plane. Assuming I wouldn't
see her again after we made our connections, I toldher how pretty I
thought she was. She gave me the most sincere smile and said,"Nobody
has said that to me in 10 years." It turns out we're both in our
mid-30's, never married, no kids, and we live about 5 miles away from
each other.We have a date set fornext Saturday after we return home.
MMT
38. Today, I'm a mother of2 and a grandmother of 4. At 17 I got
pregnant with twins. When my boyfriend and friends found out I wasn't
going to abort them, they turned a cold shoulderto me. But I pressed
forward, worked full-time while attending school, graduated high
schooland college, and met aguy in one of my classes who has loved my
children like his own for the last 50 years. MMT
39. Today, on my 29th birthday, I returned home from my 4th and final
tour of duty overseas. The little girlwho lives next door tomy parents
(who isn't so little any more - she's 22 now) met me at the airport
with a long stemmed rose, a bottle of my favorite vodka, and then
askedme out on a date. MMT
40. Today, my daughter accepted her boyfriend's marriage proposal. He
is 3 years older 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, my husband insisted they
break-up. They maintained a friendship, but went on to date other
people. Now at the ages of 24 and 27, I'venever seen two people more
in love. MMT
41. Today, after I heard that my mom stayed home from work with the
flu, I stopped by Wal-Mart on my way home from school to pick her up
some canned soup. I ran into my dad who was already in the check-out
line. He had 5 cansof soup, NyQuil, tissues, tampons, 4 romantic
comedy DVDsand a bouquet of flowers. My dad makesme smile and MMT.
42. Today, I was sitting ona hotel balcony watching 2 lovers in the
distance walk along the beach. Fromtheir body language, Icould tell
they were laughing and enjoying each other's company. As they got
closer, I realized they were my parents. My parents almost got
divorced 8 years ago. MMT
43. Today, I'm only 17, butI've been with my boyfriend, Jake, for 3
years, and last night was the first time we spent the night together.
We've never'done it,' and we didn't last night either. Instead, we
baked cookies, watched two comedies, laughed, played Xbox and fell
asleep in each other's arms. Despite the warnings from my parents,
he's been nothing but a gentleman and a best friend. MMT
44. Today, when I tapped the side of my wheelchair and told my
husband, "You're the only reason I wantto be free from this
contraption," he kissed me on my forehead and said, "Honey, I don't
even see that thing." MMT

early 90's and marriedfor 72 years, both diedof natural causes
approximately one hour apart from each other. MMT

he immediately gave me a huge hug and said, "I'm sorry, Jason. I love
you." MMT
47. Today, my autistic little sister spoke her first word at the age
of 6 – my name. MMT
48. Today, at the age of 72, nearly 15 years after my grandfather
passed away, my grandmother remarried. And since I'm only 17, I've
never seen her so happy in all my life. It's inspiring to see two
people so in love at their age. MMT it's never too late.
49. Today, at a jazz club inSan Francisco I saw a man and woman
enjoying a drink together. The womanwas a dwarf and the man must have
been 6feet tall. Later in the evening they went out onto the dance
floor. The man got down on his knees so they could slow
dancetogether. They danced the rest of the night. MMT
50. Today, as I was sleeping, I woke up tomy daughter calling my name.
I was sleeping in a sofa chair in her hospital room. I opened my eyes
to her beautiful smile. My daughter has been in a coma for 98 days.
MMT
51. Today, exactly 10 years ago almost to the minute, I stopped at an
intersection and a car rear ended me. The driver was a student at UF,
just like me. He was cordial and apologetic. As we waited for the cops
and the tow truck we chatted and started laughing together about all
sorts of stuff.We exchanged numbers and the rest is history. We just
celebrated our 8th wedding anniversary. MMT
52. Today, I was working in a coffee shop when2 gay men walked in
holding hands. As youmight expect, heads started turning. Then a
young girl at the table next to me askedher mom why 2 men were holding
hands. Her mom replied, "Because they love each other." MMT
53. Today, after 2 years ofseparation, my ex-wife and I resolvedour
differences and met for dinner. We laughed and chatted for almost 4
hours. Then just before she left, she handed me a large envelope. In

a post-it note on the envelope that said, "Letters I was toostubborn
to send." MMT
54. Today, I was in an accident that left me with a gash on my
forehead. The doctorswrapped a bandage around my head and said I have

he insisted that he didn't want me to feel alone.MMT

best friendlives 2000 miles away and called to comfort me. While on

replied. And then he rang my doorbell. MMT
