Top Tweets of the Week: Oct. 13-19

By Meredith Hirt February 6, 2015

Tweets may be limited to 140 characters, but a picture is worth 1,000 words.

Up ahead: some very awww-worthy photos, plus a few tweets sans-picture that still manage to be adorable, even within 140 characters.

Jack was out sick almost the entire week, so his classmates made him thoughtful get well cards. Based on the artwork, it looks like we have a diehard Jets fan. A photo posted by Jen Rabulan-Bertram (@jenrab) onOct 10, 2014 at 1:09pm PDT
