These Were the 13 Most Heartbreaking Headlines of 2015

It's atypical for a photo on Santa's lap to be heartbreaking, but this one tore us apart. In a post to Facebook, "Santa" wrote about a man who waited in his line with a photo of his son who had passed away the year before: "'I have a request,' he said, turning around this picture frame. He took a moment. . . . Without anyone saying anything, he handed me the frame and I placed it on my knee. I didn't ask any questions, but I am guessing that this is his first photo with Santa. The camera snap was the only sound I could hear through the entire mall." Santa urges everyone reading the tearful post to "Pray for the brokenhearted. Smile at people. Just be kind. Love one another."
