Amazing Acts of Love

Few high school leavers make it past the hat toss at graduation. However, Taylor Morris and Danielle Kelly have made it through so much more. The Iowa natives stayed together and, in 2007, Morris enlisted as an explosive ordnance disposal technician in the Navy.
After years of training, Morris was assigned to Explosive Ordnance Disposal Unit 12 and the couple moved to Virginia Beach. While Morris, a Petty Officer 2nd Class, was deployed to Afghanistan, the couple talked about their future plans. But then Morris stepped on an improvised explosive device, losing both legs above the knee, his left arm, and right hand. However, that tragic incident has done nothing to stifle the couple's relationship.
Their story of love has crossed the globe. Twenty-two photos of Morris and Kelly were posted on BuzzFeed, a collection house of viral content on the web, under the headline "A love story in 22 pictures." As of Sept. 20, the story had more than 2.6 million views.
Tim Dodd, the professional photographer (and Morris' longtime friend) who took many of the photos in the post, said the sailor is happy that his story is reaching so many people.


Donald Featherstone, an artist, is most famous for inventing the plastic pink flamingo lawn ornament. However, people who know him and his wife Nancy well think of them as an incredibly close and romantic couple. For the past 35 years, they've worn matching outfits everywhere they go.

 Love is not only about couples but also about friendship, we've included this last story. In Hebei, China, a 16-year-old teenager named Lui Shi Ching has carried his friend to school on a daily basis for the last eight years. His friend, Lu Shao, has a congenital disorder which makes it difficult for him to walk. Eight years ago on a rainy day, Lu shao was stuck at school when his mom didn't come to pick him up. Lui Shi Ching, who was smaller than Lu Shao, decided to help and carried him home. Since then, he has carried Lu Shao to and from school and even to restrooms. 
Lui Shi Ching didn't brag about his good deeds too much; his parents didn't even find out until four years after he first helped his friend. Lu Shao mentioned in his diary that Lui Shi Ching's help has lifted a dark cloud in his life and let sunshine into.
