When someone goes extra mile to satisfy you, the tears just burst open?
20 Remarkable People Who Gave 101% for Someone Else

Some people put their whole hearts into serving others, even if they don’t get paid for it. They go above and beyond to make sure everyone is treated with the care and respect they deserve. And sometimes they do it in a way that’s fun too, like the principal who dressed up as Batman and went up on the roof to greet kids in the morning, or the grandad who built a backyard roller coaster for his grandkids.
