Have you ever experienced something so touching, that it brought you to tears?

My Dad is away in Florida, and last night, I went over to his house (my childhood home) to do a bit of cleaning and sorting. He wanted me to go through the cupboards and drawers and clean and sort through the paperwork, cards, etc (he told me the types of things that he wanted me to pitch). When cleaning out the dining room hutch drawer, I found all of the sympathy cards that were sent to our family after my Mom died. Sympathy cards, donations (to the Canadian Cancer Society, and the Children’s Bridge Orphanage in China), emails from family and friends (that were printed out at the hospital where she was at), and to letters to the family from all of those who knew her and loved her. I sat for a good half hour and read through them all (there was a good stack!). It was truly touching and brought me to (happy) tears. She was loved by so many.
