It could have been more descriptive, but I'd say it's pretty low on the scale of headline obnoxiousness. And the story is well-written, detailed and touching, I thought.

I think we've jumped the shark. You're pleased that you got a TL;DR for a non-clickbait, well written article, just because you despise blatant clickbait headlines?

With a story like this, a barebones explanation loses something - there's a reason all those other words are there (to convey feeling or emotion, to place you in the context of the story, etc).
