Giselle's Twitter friends were so touched by her sweet gesture.

One user commented, "Truly amazing and lovely." Another added, "Thanks for showing us what love is."

Another heartwarming moment was when a father, who had been colorblind his whole life, received a birthday gift from his children.

The kids wanted him to see the world the way normal people do, so on his 66th birthday, they decided to surprise him with a pair of EnChroma glasses.
