We need some uplifting things to boost our moods; sometimes they might be some good stories or just dogs. Here are 40 uplifting things that lift you up.
Here is our previous ‘uplifting things’ post.
1. Don’t Really Have Anyone To Celebrate With, So I Thought I’d Share With You Guys. I’m One Year Sober
2. I Just Moved Into My First Very Own Place And Am Living 100% Independently
3. For Those Who Step Up
My parents split when I was in first grade. My mom met my step-dad, mark, when I was in second grade. We moved in with him by the time I was in 3rd we moved in to his house. He treated my siblings and I as his own since day 1. He even would watch Gilmore Girls with me and my sister every afternoon. After my mom died when I was 16, Mark didn’t make us go live with our biological dad. He continued raising us as his own. He started out as my mom’s boyfriend and became my dad, my best friend, my go-to for advice.
Mark ended up working 3 jobs while having heart failure, asthma, and diabetes. He did everything he could to provide for my sister and I. He passed away 6 days before I graduated college in 2016. It’s been a few years but I still have trouble on Father’s Day. He could have ditched us when our mom died and we didn’t have enough income. But he didn’t. He was there fighting to put food on the table. Happy Father’s Day for all of the fathers who fight for their children.
