surprise

I have no trouble admitting that I am, and always have been, a sucker for those videos of America's fighting men and women returning home to their families. The bigger the surprise to the families, the more I enjoy it.

Kristen Comer from Rockford wasn't expecting anything more from Zappos other than a pair of shoes. What she received was a whole lot more.

We've all been there at least once. You're on the road, and suddenly you need a bathroom. You can't find one anywhere along your route, and you're considering your other options (none of which are very appealing).

This mom certainly does...and then some. This was as close to a "I'm-so-happy-someone-better-call-an-ambulance" moment as you're likely to get...

Gotta throw another hat tip to our digital director, Rob Carroll, for spotting this one and passing it along to me. Quick scene setter: husband and wife have a love of photo booths. They stop at them all the time, only this time was a bit different...

You might want to make sure you're well supplied with tissues before checking this one out. From The Mighty: Sergeant Joe Johnson, from Fishers, Indiana, is a veteran who served in Afghanistan and a paraplegic, Fox 59 reported. Rec...
