This has got to be the sweetest story I've heard of in a long time. We could all learn a lot from this little guy. Please watch the video - he's adorable.

ANCHORAGE – Indicative of the season, a Christmas tree proudly sits in the living room at the McClung residence.

Bundles of socks, a pile of coats and blankets, hats and other gifts sit under the tree.

Patrick, the oldest of Destinee McClung’s two young sons, proudly claims none of these gifts as his own; they’re presents for the community’s homeless population to have.

“It’s for all the people, and they don’t have homes,” the 3-year-old explained. “And they’re very cold.”

2. That kid is showing more compassion at three than the entire GOP

presidential field will show in their collective lifetimes.

3. For the love of God, woman ...

... will you please put a "three-tissue alert" in the header?

Fifteen seconds in, I had to pause and get the Kleenex.










Make that a "four tissue alert" ...

6. I know, Nance.

He got me choked up, too, especially when he was in tears about the cardboard.

But doesn't it kind of restore a little faith in humanity? His mother has definitely done something right.

7. Oh, yeah ...

... definitely a "good for the soul" story.

It was the part about the train set that made me grab that third tissue ...
