Make your story relatable. One engaging feature of a touching story is that it is relatable and readers can imagine and feel what the characters are going through, so you want to evoke an emotion many people can relate to. The situation can be vary, as the emotion is what people connect with most. This helps ensure that the maximum number of readers will really get into your touching story. Be creative and don't do something too common; nobody wants to read yet another variation of a story they've read too many times already.[2] Some examples include:
Loss of a loved one or petMarriage-related situationsA big moveFinding loveForgivenessGoing away to collegeGetting a new jobGoing on a journey of self discoveryA kind gesture met by another kind gesture
