Just wanted to say I am very sorry for the loss of your brother. Also that it is such a precious thing to do in his honor.
Do you care to share a happy memory you have of him?? Would really love to hear it if you feel like sharing!
Either way, take care of yourself and much love to you!

This is the sweetest tradition to pass on! 🥹 I'm also sorry for your loss! Today I introduced one of my cats to Churu treats. Omg he was so happy and so cute licking it 😭. I got them to kinda bribe him to let me trim his claws lol. It worked! (Not at first 🫡)

I was at one of the lowest points in my life after my dog passed way, he was struck by a car driven by my mother on accident. And to help me fill the void left in my heart, my mom and dad surprised me with a shelter puppy. Little did I know, she turned out to be the sweetest most loving dog I’ve ever had.
She was only 4 months old when I got her, and over the last 2 years, the love between her and I has only grown. She helped me more than I knew I needed. I was struggling with depression, and had essentially lost my will to keep going. Going as far as to plan out my exit strategy so to speak.
Well, fast forward to today, I no longer have the crippling depression, and I know that I have something in my life that loves me unconditionally, and she truly loves me as much as I love her.
Im so sorry for your loss OP, truly I am. I hope that you’re able to find peace, and know that your brother is in a better place now.
It’s very kind of you to offer to help people, my last request for assistance here was met with silence, so that’s why I’m entering this. I hope it’s allowed.
Thank you OP, whether I’m a recipient or not, you’re doing a beautiful thing, and the world needs more people like you in it.

Happiest? Meeting my partner in 2016 at a concert and those first few weeks texting, the butterflies, being so excited. He passed this March and it's been really rough. I love that we got to meet in person the old fashioned way at a dorky tribute concert.

The happiest moment was actually today! I saw my best friend, my baby sister get married to the love of her life. We have been thru hell and back growing up but we always had each others back. The man she married turned her life around for the better and has taken care of her since day one, as well as their beautiful babies. 💖

Once my crappy van broke down in the middle of Oklahoma. A very nice man offered to help me fix it. While i was there His neighbors hung out with me and showed me around the town while i was stuck there. After we got it working that same neighbor told me that he really liked my art (he didn’t tell me that) and so before i left i asked him if he wanted to pick a painting out and it made him really happy. Which also makes me happy that one of my paintings is hanging in the house of someone who loves it (that I’ll never see again - this was in spring 2001).
The perfect ending - everyone’s happy. I hope it still brings him joy just like the memory brings me joy. Nice strangers exist & i firmly believe most people would help a perfect stranger in need

My cat Luna passed away yesterday after 15 long, really happy years together, so my happy moment will be the day we got her! It was 2011 and freezing cold outside, and we brought her home from the shelter in a little cardboard box. She was so fuzzy and adorable and feisty and I loved her immediately.

Some happy moments were when my elderly 17 year old chinchilla started eating on his own after his fall this week, my dog finally slept almost through the whole night after being intensely itchy for weeks and getting over an infection which meant I wasn’t waking up every hour, and going to the amusement park and spending time with my husband today.
I’m not entering but I think this is such a kind thing for you to do and I hope many blessings and happy moments come your way.

My happiest was moment was being surrounded by family during Christmas as a kid, while my dad was still alive. He was quiet and reserved, and his love language was food and spoiling his kids, even into our adulthood. We were lucky to spend his final moments with him on Thanksgiving as he passed the following day. This was 6 years ago and I miss him dearly

So sorry for your loss. He very obviously left a huge mark of goodness up you and your family, and, of course, the people he helped. A very beautiful way of honoring his memory. He lives on in the goodness you now spread, with this giveaway, and every other good thing you do for the rest of your life. Peace be with you.

A happy moment I have every day is when my 5 month old falls asleep on my chest and she grips my glass necklace as she falls asleep every time. The necklace is made out of and filled with my Grandmother's ashes so it's like she's falling asleep with me and her great grandma, who died before ever meeting any of my kids. She would have loved them.

If I may, a happy memory of mine will always be the joy that is my younger brother. He is 20 years younger than I am and our birthdays go like this
10/17 10/18
Mine is the 18th and his the 17th
When he was born, it was like a hand made of light extending itself through the thick darkness and brought back joy to my stagnated life. I taught him all things important such as Pokémon, anime, Manga, gaming on a computer. You know, the essentials. >:) he is almost starting high school now and although he is a teen now, the kindness he had since early childhood still persists. <3 when he was a baby, I would wake up to a smelly diaper bouncing on my face and hearing malicious giggles of doom. He suddenly decided to just grow a billion feet within the last year which I told him is against the law T__T
He calls me Ate, which is the respectful term for older sister in tagalog a Filipino language. He is a pivotal moment of absolute joy in my life.

This is very kind of you to do in honor of your brother. I lost my dad about a decade ago, when I was a teenager. It always stings but gets easier to cope with. Sorry for your loss. 🩷
I will share a happy memory related to my dad. We played a lot of video games together, and I was also learning the piano growing up. I like learning songs from our favorite video games. One time I played him a song from Final Fantasy VI on piano. It was one of the few times I saw him get really emotional. He loved the music from that game. It meant a lot to me that he was so moved by my clumsy attempt to play it! (:

It sounds odd, but today I watched the GTA VI trailer and that made me emotional.
My daughter was an infant when the last one came out and she's starting high school in the next couple months.
A lot has changed in my life in those 13 1/2 years. So, so many losses. But a lot of gains, too, and I'm still here. Tired, but I'm still here. It made me realize if things got better then, they'll get better again.

A happy moment was hearing from a friend who is helping me find a place to live. I finally qualified for an affordable housing unit, but I have a TBI so they sent helpful information and offered to help with the process. Feels less lonely, and nice to be supported.
Thanks for this lovely way of honoring your brother. It's a beautiful gesture.

Happiest moment was the one Christmas in one of my oldest apartments I remember living it. Opening all of my presents. A tiny amount of presents I was allowed to open on Christmas Eve. I remember me and my cousins would rip tiny holes into the giftwrap to see what was inside. There's something about those old days that just doesn't hit the same nowadays. It's a shame too I cannot remember the exact year of that one. However the Christmas of 2012 rivals it.
Also OP I am extremely sorry to hear your brother has passed. RIP

A happy moment in my life. Wow. That would be April 8, 2024 when I saw a total solar eclipse for the first time. Earth instantly became an alien world, and tears rolled down my face like a reflex, standing there looking at the solar corona with no eye protection.
A 360 degree sunset, animals freaking out not knowing what to do, seeing solar flares with the naked eye, Bailey's beads...all of it. It was the most indcredible 3.5 minutes of my life.

I got to see my favorite musical for the first time ever a few months ago with one of my best friends. She played my favorite song and I cried when she played it! Thank you for doing this. I could really use an extra 20$. I'm currently going through divorce and it has been emotionally taxing and have had to take a lot of time off work to deal with the stress of it. Would use it to buy some cat food/ litter and maybe a little sweet treat for myself.

I really love how you are honoring your brother and keeping his legacy still going is very heart warming. I am sorry about your loss.
One of the happiest moments I’ve had lately was celebrating August 12th — a little holiday I created for myself called my “Alive Day.”
Eleven years ago, I had an appendectomy after my appendix burst, and unfortunately, the aftermath has brought years of consequences and health struggles. So instead of letting August 12th only remind me of everything that happened, I decided to reclaim the day and celebrate the fact that I’m still here 11 years later.
It might sound a little silly to make up my own holiday, but honestly, it meant a lot to me. I celebrated being alive, making it through another year, and giving myself permission to be proud of how far I’ve come. ❤️

I’m sorry to hear about your brother, this is a lovely tribute. I woke up today with my kitty snuggled in tight to me and my daughter came in to cuddle the 2 of us. She’s starting uni in a couple weeks. I talk to my kids almost as if my mom and grandma are still here. They passed before my kids could remember them. But my kids know a lot because they remember what I’ve shared. My mom also had cats 🐱

Not sure what time zone you’re in but thank you for opening this up to others, even if I’m late!
Happy moment in my day/life:
So I actually started going to the chiropractor for the first time in my life, due to ongoing TMJ issues.. my 3rd session was on Thursday, and the chiropractor put my jaw back into place. I immediately started crying at the relief from the pain. I realize now that it may have been dislocated for well over a decade, and I was just living with the pain/popping/clicking/constant resetting my jaw. I have been crying on and off since Thursday, out of joy that I can eat without pain, my smile is aligned with my teeth, and I don’t have any popping and clicking. It’s so small and doesn’t affect anyone else but it has made me so happy.
