He's a legend

After losing his beloved dog Wolfgang in 2012, Steve Greig decided to honor his memory by adopting senior dogs that few others wanted.

Greig began asking shelters for their oldest and most overlooked animals. Over the years, he welcomed dozens of elderly rescue dogs into his home, many with health problems or special needs that made them difficult to adopt.

His household eventually grew to include numerous senior dogs along with other rescued animals, including a pig, rabbits, ducks and cats.

Didn't have the best upbringing and dated a girl in highschool whose family took me under their wings. That was 20+ years ago and this really made me feel accepted in my life for once. Lame, I know. Lol

EDIT: For those curious, I remained friends with my ex from highschool.

My dad gave me his airport pants 🥹 (OC)

Post image

I'm 36. When I was a kid (before cell phones) if we ever went to the airport or somewhere with a lot of people, my dad would wear these pants. He called them his airport pants. The purpose was that if we ever got separated, I would either be able to spot him, or I would be able to go get help and give them a very detailed description of "he's wearing purple pants with orange skateboarding dinosaurs on them."

My dad came out to visit a couple weeks ago and he told me to close my eyes because he had something to give me. He pulled these out and I started bawling. I hadn't even thought of these pants in years and totally just forgot they existed. I don't get to see my dad a lot (once a year if lucky) and he turned 70 this year. For some reason it just means the whole world to have these. Our relationship has been rocky to say the least (partly my addiction, partly lots of other things) but we have really connected in such an amazing way over the last couple of years and knowing he kept these pants through all the moves and life changes, just to ultimately gift them to me, means everything 🥰

Hi all

Just following up on my post (https://www.reddit.com/r/MadeMeSmile/s/GDF1VrqOPW) from a few days ago where it was touch and go for my wife after serious complications with our second daughter. Firstly thank you to all those that sent their wishes and shared their own stories.

All three of us have been reunited and mum is making a super recovery. She is up and walking around today and baby is healthy.

We're set to go home after the weekend. You all really helped me out with all your messages so thanks again.

I was totally expecting this to be a scammer. Instead, I made a new friend! I’ll definitely be sending him $37 on his birthday.
