Teen's braille promposal to blind girlfriend resurfaces, and it's still melting hearts
Schwartz told Today at the time, “It felt like the cutest thing to do. I've seen very cute promposals from upperclassmen at my school, and not to be outdone, I wanted to do something similar. I decided to write a message in braille because I felt it would be more personal.”
It wasn't even February, so she wasn't expecting what came next. Reddit
Drury, for her part, was completely surprised. “Since it's only February, I really wasn't expecting it to happen at all, which made it even better. It makes me feel so happy that someone cares about me enough to make the moment as special as possible.”
Schwartz staged the big moment during a high school play rehearsal, catching Drury completely off guard. After she enthusiastically said yes, the couple was met with cheers and applause from their classmates, making the event even more memorable. Schwartz called the moment “pretty surreal.”
The internet’s response
Unsurprisingly, the internet has embraced the video with open arms. On platforms like Reddit and Twitter, people are sharing their love for the couple’s story.
"That’s not a prom date, that’s future husband material."
— u/SirLightKnight
One user, u/SACK_HUFFER, commented, “His happy laugh made my eyes misty too, that’s the same dorky laugh my wifey knows too well 🥹.” Another, u/IAmAnObvioustrollAMA, pointed out the little details, saying, “The tiny ‘aww’ right before her laugh is what did it for me! So sweet!”
The hug came first, the 'yes' took a few moments more. Reddit

And it wasn’t just the promposal that touched hearts—people also celebrated how Schwartz accommodated Drury’s blindness in such a thoughtful way. One user, u/SirLightKnight, summed it up perfectly: “That’s not a prom date, that’s future husband material. Accommodates to her disability, does something outstandingly sweet and thoughtful in a single gesture… I’ve seen Hallmark content less romantic than this.”
Spreading positivity
In a world where news can often feel overwhelming, this simple yet powerful story is a reminder of the beauty of kindness and thoughtfulness. Schwartz’s promposal proves that it doesn’t take a grand or expensive gesture to create something meaningful—it just takes effort and heart.
As the video circulates once again, it’s a lovely reminder of how much a little creativity can mean, especially when it’s tailored to someone you care about. Whether or not you’re currently planning your own promposal, let this story be an inspiration to think outside the box—and always put thoughtfulness first.

Sisters thought they were saying goodbye—then their dad made a surprising announcement
"You forgot me"
With tears in his eyes, the father walked up to his daughters carrying a large suitcase. Then, through his sobs, he told them, "You forgot me."
Instead of letting them move across the country alone, he had packed his bags and was ready to make the drive with them. Overwhelmed, the sisters broke down in tears as he hugged them tightly and loaded his luggage into their car.
"You think you're saying goodbye, but Dad has other plans!"
— @brittneyswanzer
The video’s on-screen text summed up the moment perfectly: "When you and your sister are moving from Ohio to California and you think you’re saying ‘bye’ to your dad, but he surprises you with ‘You are missing something… me’ and ends up driving with you to help you move in."
TikTok reacts to the tearjerking moment
The emotional clip quickly went viral, touching the hearts of thousands. Parents, daughters, and sons alike flooded the comments with their own moving experiences and reactions.
One user, @gymboi89, deeply related as a fellow parent, writing:
"As a father of two daughters, I felt those emotions quickly. Lord, please keep them safe out there!"
— @gymboi89
Others shared their own memories of moving away and the emotional impact it had on their families. @arianna_luvv recalled:
"When I moved out, my dad cried like I had never seen before. My sister called me after I left & said he was outside sweeping the patio but was crying. Every time we talked, he would ask where I was."
Some users, however, responded with humor. @mollienotmolly joked, "If my dad was sobbing like this, I'd have to simply unpack the car." Meanwhile, @hannahgaston8 quipped, "Cancel everything. Nobody is moving away. We're all on our way to move in. He just gained 1000 more daughters."
"Cancel everything—Dad just gained 1000 more daughters!"
— @hannahgaston8
Another emotional response came from @inordinary_thinking23, who wished they had the same kind of parental love:
"I'd give my right kidney just to have a dad or a parent who loves me like that."

The deep bond between fathers and daughters
This heartwarming moment is just one of many that showcase the powerful connection between fathers and their daughters. Another viral video captured a similar scene when a young girl named Emily was surprised by her father on her birthday.
A florist named De Managua (@elpatrondemanagua) shared the emotional moment on TikTok. The video showed Emily being called outside her classroom, already suspecting something special was about to happen. As she stepped outside, her classmates followed, cheering as a man in a hat—De Managua—approached her with a special gift.
The surprise? A heartfelt message from her dad, Roberto, along with a bouquet of flowers. The love in her father’s gesture left Emily in tears, proving once again how deeply fathers cherish their daughters.
A reminder to cherish the moments
Whether it’s a father making a cross-country road trip or sending a heartfelt message, these small but meaningful acts remind us of the unconditional love between parents and their children. As kids grow up and chase their dreams, these emotional goodbyes can be tough—but they also prove just how strong the bond between family truly is.
For anyone who’s moved away from home, these stories are a beautiful reminder to cherish the love and support of those who raised us. And for parents watching their children spread their wings, they show that while goodbyes may be hard, love always finds a way to travel with them.
Millennials are finally saying what they wish their parents had said to them
"My parents are in no way bad people, but they get really uncomfortable with feelings of any kind…"
She added that while her parents (and those of her friends) might offer help with tasks or money, “they don’t want to talk about anything regarding feelings or mental health.” The response? A loud, collective “same.”
“They weren’t taught how to support themselves, let alone us”
Redditor veronicagh recommended the book Adult Children of Emotionally Immature Parents, saying it helped her understand common patterns. She shared a list of signs, including parents who show extreme emotions, lack empathy, manipulate, or avoid vulnerability. The pattern? It's often generational.
"You mean people can get emotional support from their parents?!?!"
— @lifeuncommon
Another user, Available-Fig8741, explained how understanding her parents’ upbringing helped her process their limitations: “They were raised by a generation where it was the rule and not an exception to do some kind of military service… They were taught to just survive.” She said therapy helped her release expectations and instead love them “how they’re capable of loving me back.”

The patterns show up early—and leave lasting marks
Many responses highlighted childhood moments that set the tone for a lifetime. Soup_stew_supremacy shared how her parents “trained” her not to cry by mocking her when she did: “To this day, I struggle to cry at all and I cannot cry in the company of other people.”
"I feel like I'm their parent most of the time."
— @foamy_da_skwirrel
Others described parental responses rooted in religion, outdated gender norms, or total emotional detachment. User Consolatio wrote that her “Super Christian” parents always turned conversations into sermons: “Jesus can fill all your holes (and yes, I wish I was exaggerating).”

Emotional maturity often skips a generation
Some pointed out that while their parents provided financial or logistical support, they couldn’t match their children’s emotional awareness. Parking_Buy_1525 explained, “I’ve never had that warm fuzzy feeling with my parents… But I learned certain things at a very young age and adjusted my expectations accordingly.”
"You can’t squeeze blood from a turnip."
— @SnoopDoggyDoggsCat
Others felt more like caretakers than children. “They expect me to support their emotions,” wrote Mehgan-Faux. One commenter described their father as someone who only respected anger as an emotion. Another shared that their mother gets defensive when they bring up health issues, making it easier just not to share anything at all.
Some are healing by seeking support elsewhere

Several commenters said they’ve found peace not by changing their parents, but by building emotional support systems outside of them. That might mean friends, therapists, or partners. One user said simply: “I don't struggle in that I just don't expect it. It's frankly easier for me to seek it elsewhere.”
In other cases, people cut ties altogether. User _PercCobain_ wrote, “I haven’t talked to or had anything to do with my parents in 8 years, they didn’t do anything for me as a kid so I have nothing to do with them now.”
Yet many commenters still expressed empathy. They acknowledged their parents likely did the best they could with the tools they had, but that didn’t stop them from working toward something better for themselves—and for their own kids.
If any of this sounds familiar, it might be worth reading Adult Children of Emotionally Immature Parents or following communities like r/raisedbynarcissists and r/emotionalneglect for solidarity and support.
Breaking the cycle starts with awareness—and for many Millennials, that work is already underway.
Manager forbids wage talk—employees hilariously post their salaries on company notice board
Image Source: Joshua Potash | Reddit
Jer, the manager at this Kentucky Planet Fitness, put up a controversial notice that read, "Attention all subordinates. Effective immediately, conversing about wages (both on duty and off duty) is strictly forbidden.” He argued wage discussions involved "private information," further stating Kentucky is an at-will employment state, adding a stern warning: “If you are overheard speaking (OR LISTENING TO!!) a conversation in which wages are discussed, you will receive disciplinary action up to and including termination."
In a brilliant act of workplace defiance, employees responded by publicly posting their wages on the same company notice board. A follow-up sign directly addressing Jer humorously read, "Yo Jer-Bear. Seeing as you’re a manager in the great illustrious [world] of Planet Fitness gym franchises, it may behoove you to become familiar with the laws pertaining to it. Sprinkling legalese and word-salad across an 8.5×11 paper you printed does not a legal doc make.”
The posted notice listed hourly wages for 12 employees, clearly indicating it's illegal for employers to prohibit wage discussions, and included helpful legal links. It humorously concluded with, "$10.50 an hour Shelly," prompting social media to applaud her courage. One Twitter user wrote, “Ah good, looks like Jer got to the 'finding out' part thanks to Shelly."
Online users also mocked Jer’s demanding tone toward staff. One joked, "Me, the most beloved and effective manager in the history of Planet Fitness, upon arriving at work: 'Good morning subordinates!'"
Other commenters shared similar experiences, including a former Planet Fitness worker who recalled: "I once worked at a 'planet fitness' and made an offhand joke about starting a union. The manager told me PF was non-union and as a result, I couldn't talk about it. I took out a pocket notebook and wrote the time date what was said and a witness. They never bothered me again."
Another user recounted challenging their employer directly when told not to discuss wages: "I said, 'That’s illegal.' He asked me to speak up, so I did. 'You can’t tell us not to discuss our wages with each other.'" When the employer insisted it was company policy, the worker shot back: "The company can’t have a policy of something that’s illegal to the whole country. Like, you can’t say ‘Feel free to murder 1 passerby on the street, it’s ok, company policy.’"
According to employment attorney Donna Ballman, "Employers hate it when employees discuss salaries because it exposes discrimination and other unfair pay practices."
Under the National Labor Relations Act (NLRA), the National Labor Relations Board emphasizes employees’ rights to discuss pay freely with coworkers. It explicitly states employers cannot legally punish or retaliate against employees for wage discussions.
