We weren't ready for this on a Sunday.

This video from an episode of First Dates UK has been viewed almost five million times (at the time of writing), and we can see exactly why it has proved such a hit with viewers. A widower speaks about his life so far on the date where he reveals that lost his wife seven years ago, after she contracted dementia at a young age. Not only this, but he lost his son to a sudden brain haemorrhage. But it's his attitude towards life despite all his hardships that is truly inspiring, and we admire his positivity and outlook. The post has received over 68k reactions and 35k shares, and his struck a chord with a great number of people.
