In a world focused on success and things, family is what truly matters. Family gives us love, support, and a place to belong. Today, we invite you to read real stories that show how strong family bonds are—stories that touch our hearts more than any movie could.
The Story:
My grandma passed away before Grandpa. She was only 55. He never got over it. After he passed too, we were going through his things and found an old birthday card from Grandma, written just before she died. On the back, there were 21 lines in pencil. Each year, Grandpa wrote the date of his new birthday on the back, adding a little note beside it. He wrote things like, “I miss you so much this year,” or “You would have loved the weather today.” He did this every year until his last birthday. Grandpa died when he was 80—exactly 21 years after Grandma. It broke my heart. The greatest love I’ve ever seen.
