True Love Stories...
More often than not when we think of love, we're obsessed with the romantic type but another love story unfolded on Twitter.

In November 2016, dad @GrumpyCarer needed to find a discontinued @tommeetippee_UK cup for his autistic son and he turned to Twitter for help. The response was heartwarming.


 
Seven-year-old Bana al-Abed gained hundreds of thousands of Twitter followers for Tweeting from besieged eastern Aleppo. Bana’s account was set up in September 2016 and brought the world together to Tweet their support for the people of Aleppo.

 
Bana has since been safely evacuated and is using her account to remind everyone that love is greater than hate.
