Sometimes it seems like people today have become so hardened that they’re no longer capable of expressing true feelings. But in reality, love is everywhere around us — all you need to do is look around! For example, you may see an elderly couple supporting each other on the bus in order not to fall down, or a loving woman meeting her upset husband after work. Touching stories like these and many others are featured in this heartwarming article.

Bright Side has collected 9 of the most touching stories from Overheard and Chamber #6. After reading them, there is a good chance your mood will be lifted causing you to hug your loved ones or call a friend that you haven’t spoken to in a while.

“I live with my mom and have a boyfriend. We were getting ready for a wedding when my mom suddenly got ill. She was fired from work and the money flow to our family reduced drastically. On top of that, we started to spend a lot of money on medicine. One day, I cried about it on my boyfriend’s shoulder only to have him leave suddenly. I assumed that he decided to leave me having known about my problem. But after one week he came back with a thick envelope saying, ’Get yourself whatever you need and don’t be upset anymore.’ Turns out, he sold his car to help us.”

“We have been married for 8 years and my husband hardly ever says he loves me. He prefers to express his feelings with actions such as cooking a nice dinner or doing homework with our son. Yesterday he managed to surprise me completely: he put my home dress on a warmer so that I could change out of my cold outside clothes into a warm dress when I came home. I don’t care about flowers and loud words, love is about actions.”
