For all the sweet things you come across on the internet or IRL that both warms your heart and makes you either d'awww or blubber like a baby.
I'll start with the old staples of this type of thread:
Give Me Hope
Love Gives Me Hope
Real-Life examples of Crowning Moments of Heartwarming
And then add some others:

The description for this other strip during the climax:
This character came far and away from any original plans I had for him. Initially Mars was a one-shot jerk who would insult Noah's fashion sense and pay at the hands of a woman's closet scorned.
But the strip had other plans.
Mars became the one truly positive force in Noah's life. While the rest of the world passively/ actively questions or condemns Noah, Mars embraces unconditionally. That is why, out of all the characters
It had to be him.

There was a girl I knew at school, let's call her Anna, who was born with some kind of skeletal or muscular problem. I think is was cerebral palsy. Anyway, it was severe enough that when she was born, the doctors said she'd never be able to walk. And for years, she didn't. (I think she also had some kind of learning disability, because she was a year or two older than everyone else in our grade.) Then when we were in eighth grade, she went on the advanced performing arts tour to Anaheim for a festival. In that festival, her group, which included her younger sister Natalie, competed and took first place in their category.
They were the advanced dance team.
But wait, there's more! You see, none of us at school aside from Natalie knew that she hadn't been able to walk when she was younger. Then came the awards ceremony. You see, for this festival, we would get some instruction at a university on the first day of the tour, compete on the second, and then go to Disneyland all day on the third until the awards ceremony at 10:00-ish, which was held in the park. So about an hour and a half or two hours after the ceremony had started, when we'd watched the fireworks show and seen the opening performance and everyone knew what awards their group had won, the host announced that they had one more award left to give.
The "Spirit of Anaheim" award was given to two students at the festival, a male and a female, who were recommended for it by their teachers for doing a great amount of things that you wouldn't expect for someone their age to do. The first student they called up was a guy from some high school we'd never heard of. He'd done ridiculous amounts of charity work, gotten incredible grades, was devoted to band, cured cancer, heal cripples, let the blind see, planned to purge our sins from this Earth, all that stuff. He took his award, went back to his class, and the host went on to tell us the story of the next student.
The story of Anna. How she couldn't walk for years. How she participated in a dance that Friday. Then he called out her name, and she walked to the stage.
That's not the real heartwarming part, to me.
To me, the heartwarming bit is the memory of our entire advanced performing arts department--150 bored, sunburned, cold, exhausted, usually apathetic teenagers--leaping to our feet, clapping, and chanting her name the whole time she was getting the award. I know that doesn't sound like much if you think about it, but it was nearly midnight, and we were teenagers who'd been up since 6 AM. Emphasis on the teenagers part.
tl;dr: No tl;dr for you, read it yourself.
