It sure is refreshing for a story to go viral once in a while for all the right reasons.

Like this story about an elderly man who bought a VCR on eBay. He wrote a letter to the seller expressing his gratitude because the machine brought him so much joy – and his words will bring YOU some serious joy.

The man explained that he watched videos on the VCR of his retirement party from 25 years earlier, of his wedding, and of other family events that brought back many good memories and gave him a glimpse of people who have since passed on.
