Realy i like this true relation ship God has given.Jesus was love.Brought love to the world which is the booster for human life.

Please stop posting this… it was probably an online hook up and she catfished him!🙄

Who cares?

They are family now❤️

It’s just those hateful Trumpers at it again. I can’t think of a nicer venue for our President’s daughter to have her wedding!

I love this story so much! There is no coincidences with God! They were placed in each other’s path! I have made friends, randomly, with many over the years that have made lasting friendships.

So sweet

If he is 20, he would be 13-14 then. He can’t be a senior at 13-14😐

Every year with this story...

❤️

That is so sweet!!🤗💙

This will always be my favorite holiday story!!

I love this story. So much that it’s become my Thanksgiving tradition to revisit it and give thanks that people are good and all want the same things in life.

It was cute the first time it was reported. Now it’s just weird! You’re making her out to be a MILF! Maybe GMILF!

DAMN it's been 7 yrs already time really fly's or should I say spin's they said the earth 🌍 is spinning faster than ever but it's not effecting the time 🤷

Please keep the tradition alive.

Regardless of how it started, the thing is this wasn’t a fluke. They came in each other’s life for things they both needed. A representation of human kindness.

Every time I see this story it makes me smile. It shows human kindness and how a simple 'mistake ' can lead to a beautiful addition to one's family. Happy Thanksgiving

Love knows.

We need more stories like this in our lives. Bless them and may they have a great Thanksgiving

Enjoy your Thanksgiving today and the years to coming.

I share their story every year because it's a little drop of wholesome in this cruel world💗I wish there were more stories like this
