heartwarming

A heartwarming story is one that makes you feel happy and warm inside. It's often about something nice happening.

When we say something is heartwarming, it usually means it's making us feel good or showing kindness to someone. For example, if a friend surprises their family with a big dinner after they've been working hard all week, that could be a heartwarming moment. If you see an old couple holding hands and smiling at each other, that too is often considered heartwarming. The word can also refer to something we read or watch that's very moving or makes us feel happy for someone else - like a movie where the underdog wins.
