16 People Who Became Heroes With Their Acts Of Kindness

5: 2 years ago, I found out that my father wasn’t my biological father. This news came as a shock to me, as my dad and I are very close. I was also a little hurt that my younger sisters are his biological children. But I’m not.

To calm me down, Dad invited me for a conversation, “Alina, when I met your mother, she was already pregnant with you. Or rather, she found out about it after 3 of our dates. Your mom honestly told me everything. She suggested I leave, because I was only 20 years old and the prospect of becoming a father scared me. Especially since your mom and I weren’t even in a relationship yet.

And then, as I was about to say goodbye forever, I saw your mom holding a picture. I asked what it was. And it was your first ‘picture.’ Or rather, an ultrasound scan. I asked to see it, and she didn’t refuse.

As soon as I saw you, I knew you were mine. And I didn’t leave. I wanted to stay so badly. And you’re my girl, my own daughter. And don’t you ever doubt that. Otherwise, if I haven’t managed to assure you of my love in all these years, I’ve lived my life in vain.”

6: I tipped a waitress $50 for a $20 meal because her other table was treating her so badly that she was crying in the back.

7: My older sister used to tell everyone as a kid that she would only marry a guy who had a full collection of hippos from Kinder Surprise. It’s been about 20 years since then, and the childhood promise has, of course, lost its relevance. Recently, her childhood friend unexpectedly proposed to her, who had long been in love with her, but didn’t dare to confess to her.
