Surprisingly, there is more than one type of tear, there are actually 3: basal, irritant, and emotional. The latter contains more stress hormones and natural painkillers than any other tears. Crying can help you fight bacteria, so next time someone catches you crying, just let them know you’re on a 1:1 match with a team of microorganisms.

Seeing the positive in every situation is something Bright Side believes in, and we found 15 stories that touched our hearts in all the right ways.

“Last thing my dad was able to write.”

“I’ve been traveling through the 50 states in memory of my best friend. Today I visited Alaska, completing my journey.”

“I never knew I needed a daughter until mine was born. She drew this on the white board in my office when she visited me at work.”

“My son got me this for Valentine’s Day — and it has warmed my heart.”

“Found this today and it definitely made me smile.”

“Every time my father leaves for a business trip, he leaves a note on a napkin for my mother. She pins it up until he comes home every time.”

“Good morning,
my beautiful wife
See you tomorrow
I love you”

“This stray cat I started feeding last week waits for me to come to the door.”

“I got a note from a seller on Etsy after I was their first customer! Made my whole heart smile.”

“We have one food bowl for 2 dogs. One of my dogs, Stitch, trained the other dog, Cookie, to only eat half of the food that’s in the bowl.”

“Now Stitch passed away, and it’s Cookie’s first time alone. Since Stitch is gone, I’ve been feeding Cookie less food. Before I went to bed, I wanted to check if she ate. And I did, and she still left half of her food there, so Stitch can eat.”

“Proud moment for me: My movie comes out in theaters today. I spent every day since I was 12 waiting for today.”

“My dad got me right in the feels today with a wallet.”

“To my son
Wherever your journey in life may take you
I pray that you will always be safe.
Enjoy the ride and never forget your way back home.
I can’t promise to be here for the rest of your life
but I can promise to love you for the rest of mine.
Love you.
Dad”

“My parents have passed away, and I wanted a way to include them at my commencement ceremony for my Bachelor’s Degree.”

“I uploaded cards they had each written and used my Cricut machine to put their writing on my graduation cap.”

“My son’s first time in the snow”

“I’m a big Pink Floyd fan and my son painted this for me for my birthday.”

“Instead of flowers, people bring sticks to this dog’s grave.”

Rex the dog, was the loyal friend of John E. Stow, a leading fruit merchant in the 1800s. The doggo has been keeping his owner’s guard ever since he passed away. Today, more than 100 years later, people still leave sticks for Rex, because he’s a really good boy.
