Life is a series of ups and downs. It is never fully fair to anyone. Everyone has their own demons to wrestle and everyone has their own battles to fight. Breaking down with tears often helps to purge out the most negative of emotions from your heart.

These stirring pictures will get you to trust humanity again, and we all know that’s a great thing.
