Their stories—both heartwarming and heartbreaking—captured the Internet’s attention in small flashes of viral fame, but their time in the spotlight taught us so much: How to go the extra mile (sometimes literally) to support our loved ones, how to pull off the perfect prank, even how to be supportive when ‘Baby Shark’ comes on for the twentieth time.
