Some folks usually post those Nicholas Sparks type of stories on facebook which I don't read (I think they're trying too hard! Honest!). One of my girls, though, doesn't usually post this stuff or even links in her page so it got me curious when I found one on my newsfeed. I read it and was so touched by it that I wanted to share it here. Well, it's for record-keeping and for the sake of sharing as well. It's too good to keep to yourself, you know. :)
