A Kindness I Will Never Forget tells the story of a young woman with a 2-year-old and a newborn, who suddenly becomes widowed at age 33. She explains the shock of coming home and finding her husband collapsed on her kitchen floor, of trying to save him, and of the futility of explaining his death to her young son. She details how she navigated her way from deep sorrow and shock, to once again beginning to live life with joy and celebration. She remembers all of the small acts of kindness shown to her along the way; and how they lifted her up and inspired her to keep going, and to try to find a new way of living for herself and for her children. She discovers just how much determination she has within to survive her tragedy, and to find a way to move forward in the way her husband would have wanted.

I just can't believe the love this world truly has when all we see is hate. This is so uplifting.” —Shelsea Where do you go when you want to feel inspired? When you want to forget about the divisiveness and the anger? For over five million people, that place is Love What Matters, a digital platform dedicated to finding and sharing the daily moments of kindness, compassion, and love that so often go overlooked. This curated collection of powerful stories features first person accounts and photographs that perfectly capture each moment: A husband learning he’s about to be a dad. A new mom embracing her body. A cashier inadvertently teaching a young girl a lesson about patience. A bagel from a stranger that saved a homeless man’s life. From long overdue adoptions to military heroes returning home; from a fireman’s touching 9/11 tribute to what an old dinner plate found at a bake sale can teach us all about life—these are the moments that matter. They are genuine. Authentic. Raw. And they are perfect in their imperfection—just like all of us. You will no doubt experience goosebumps and tears, but this mosaic of life’s moments will leave you with something even more profound: a reminder that, in the end, love always wins. “This really is the best page on Facebook. It renews your love of humanity. There are still good people. We need more reports of acts of kindness.” —Johnny
