People are sharing the random things their loved ones do that make them smile and they will warm your chilly bones
Novelist Rachel Griffin asked people to share the little things their loved ones do that make them smile.
Twitter, tell me something random about a person you love that makes you smile every time you think of it.
Mine is that whenever my husband sees a dragonfly, he watches in amazement and says in a tone of respect, "they're such accomplished fliers."

And we’re very glad she did because the responses were just fantastic. Here are 20 of our favourites.

For a long time, I didn’t understand why our microwave was always stopped two seconds before the end. Then I learned that my husband didn’t want his heating up his breakfast to wake me up so he’d stop it just before it dinged.
He’s a keeper.— Amelia Brunskill (@ameliab) December 5, 2018

The humans in my life are pretty great but nothing tops the look my black cat gives me when he wants to play fetch. pic.twitter.com/vEVAG1LnEa

Mine is when my mum died 5 years ago
I woke up in the middle of the night to find my son, aged 8 sitting on my bed watching me.
I asked if he was OK & he said, “I’m staying awake in case you wake up really sad & need an emergency hug from me”

My 14yo son spontaneously tells those he loves that he loves them. Daily. His older sister…me…his dad…

When I get a text from my husband with the following emojis:
It means there’s a “kitten emergency”. Our kittens are senior cats of 14 years and the emergency is one of them needs cuddles. Then I get photos updates. I melt every time

We’ll get home late, tired and eager for bed, and I’ll be halfway to the door before I realize he’s not next to me. I’ll turn around and my husband will still be standing next to the car, just staring awestruck at the moon.

my dad hums a little song when he’s driving and is unsure about whether he’s going the right way
my husband speaks to kids in the same tone of voice & using the same vocabulary with which he would speak to an adult, like: “interesting, jack; tell me more about sponge bob”

How my husband and my sister can’t sit beside each other at family dinners because they giggle so much at their own jokes that they cry laugh. He’s 62 and she’s 60. They make me laugh and I don’t get the joke.

My husband: Whenever he thinks something is truly funny, his laugh is so surprised and full and perfect <3
My dog: Whenever we’re at the dog park and he turns around to check if I’m still there and when I am he gets SO HAPPY and bounds toward me for some pets XD
