You ever want evidence that the Internet is six trillion kinds of awesome, you need look no further than this video, which is a whole lot of ladies shouting out their love and support to a dying boy who they’ve never met.

And then check out all the tweets in the #TutusForTanner Twitter stream, and watch the ongoing discussion – between people from all over, everywhere, Canada, the US, and beyond – about who’s going to be wearing tutus for Tanner and who’s auctioning stuff to raise money for Tanner and who’s put together a book for Tanner and who’s running around Central Park over and over and over again, in a tutu, for Tanner.

And let your heart swell.

(And maybe think about participating, or donating, or something. Or just hug your kids. Do that anyway.)
