Here's a look at our five favorite viral videos from Michigan in 2017:
Birthday gift from dead dad
Chandler Crow's video of her 16-year-old brother Johnny Crow getting a guitar that was handpicked by their dad was overwhelming.
Why? Because their dad, John Crow, died April 1 at the age of 49 from a heart attack in their Smiths Creek, Mich. home.
Months before, John Crow had ordered the exact model guitar his son wanted for his 16th birthday from Port Huron Music Center.
After John Crow's death, the store contacted 20-year-old Chandler Crow.
She took an emotional video of her brother getting the guitar in June. It's been viewed 13 million times on Facebook.
