Bryce Gruber Beautiful. This is the proof that kindness and dignity pay greater dividends than any other investment in the world. 414 . Harvey Petito you were the grandchild they needed 17K . Amanda LynchThat you used your HONY moment to honor them speaks volumes about the family and grandparent role they helped to create through you. This is beautiful. 2K . Top FanDajana FabjanovichThere is nothing quite like compassion and empathy to bring people together! As a child of immigrant parents, this story touched me deeply. 1.4K . Robin DavidsonThis is the “real” America. Welcoming and loving and accepting. They loved you like their own and honored your journey, and you honored them with your love and affection. They obviously cherished and respected you and your mother. America is better for all of you. 3K . Dea EmSadly, I think the family missed out on the value of the Timblins and that’s why they couldn’t understand why they were so important to this young woman. 4.5K Hot roder’s prayer poster

Mangeni JohnMy parents were not refugees but we grew up living on the streets of Uganda here in Africa,we could only have meals on lucky days but we used to sleep hungry, today together with friends I look and feed orphans and less fortunate kids so they don’t live my past life !! Glory be to God 356 . Melissa BerrettaThey had a kid. They had you. Families aren’t made by shared genes; they are made by love, care, devotion. 90 . Laura O’Brien SmithThat’s because you weren’t “the helper’s kid” you were their extra kid. My mom’s housekeeper and dear friend brought her kids along to work for years and years, and she and my father truly loved them and treasured them and supported them. My dad even bought the eldest her letter jacket! Our dear friend continues to this day to help my mother– it is now caregiving and companionship as opposed to much housekeeping. But the kitchen ALWAYS looks amazing when she heads home in the afternoons. 49 Hot roder’s prayer poster

Tường ViThis story is a reminder of how lonely our elderly can be. The girl was a part of the couple’s world but no one at the funeral knows about her. Either the couple did not tell them or no one rang the couple to check on them.1K . Veronica Andreassen BarkerSee, this is the America I want to have. There are glimpses of it like your story and so I’m left with a glimmer of hope. Tangible communal support for families with kids rather than “you chose to have kids, so”; Companionship and dignity for older adults; Support for immigrants; and loving kindness. So much loving kindness.2.5K . Tricia RansomYou were their child. Families aren’t always created by blood ties. Love is stronger. 1.4K . Mazvita GerryThey were your adopted grandparents in America they loved you with all their being. You showed that love back to them 335 . Maggie GarlandMy parents were also refugees from Vietnam. When I hear about my mom speak about the large family who sponsored her, her face lights up with gratitude. She had a peaceful place to rest at night and a people to cheer her on. Having lost her parents at a young age, she remembers those family dinners fondly. This really spoke to me. Thank you!164
