1. The kindness of strangers

“Sat next to a video game animator on a 6-hour train journey across China. He decided to keep my daughter entertained for a lot of the trip by drawing her portrait and playing with her and also had his dad take us to our hotel. A random stranger but ended up a friend.”

2. Fatherly love

“A middle school in the USA started a ’Breakfast with Dads’ program. But many dads couldn’t make it, and several students didn’t have father figures. The school posted a Facebook request for 50 volunteer fathers… and 600 fathers from all backgrounds showed up.”

3. Seeing double

“A week ago, my cat got lost. But I found it 4 days ago, and today my cat has returned too. Now I have 2 identical cats.”
