What gets Monica out of bed each day is the chance to live her best life with her family.
A doting grandmother took her grandson on a special date, which he once claimed to be the "best day of his life." After circumstances forced him to move away, they lost touch and only saw each other again after fifteen years, hoping it wasn't too late to make up for the lost time.
An orphan decided to visit his foster family ten years after moving out in order to thank them for all they've done for him. When he arrived in front of their dilapidated house, he asked what had happened and how it ended up that way.
Children made fun of a poorly dressed girl they'd ride the school bus with, teasing her that she stunk. One day, they were surprised to see her on TV, which changed how they saw her entirely.
A mom and her three children ended up lost after taking the wrong bus route. She realized she couldn't buy her children food, until a low voice stepped in to give her much-needed assistance.
