Joe Duggar just might be the sweetest young man in the 19 Kids and Counting family.

Despite being away in college, he took the time to remember his grandmother, mother and nine sisters in Springdale, Arkansas during Valentines day. Each one received a rose and a hand-written note, the Duggar Family Blog shared.

In a blog post entitled "The Thoughtful Joe Duggar," the family raved about Joe's efforts and thoughtfulness: "How sweet is that? Given that Joe has nine sisters, sending a flower and a note to each one is a pretty big undertaking!"

Their fans seem to agree and think that Joe did a great job surprising his family members.

"The Duggars have sure raised their kids to be respectful and caring. Very nice of Joe to think of his Grandma, Mom, and sisters," someone commented on the blog post.

"Love to see a brother being so sweet to think of his sisters we need more kindness like this in the world!" another one said.

Joe is currently studying in Crown Bible College in Knoxville, Tennessee, which is 10 hours away from his home in Arkansas, but only 30 minutes from where the Bates live in Rocky Top, Tennessee. Joe's decision to move for college only fuelled rumours that he might be dating Tori Bates, who is only a year younger than him.

This is also the first time the Duggar family allowed one of their kids to move away for college, signalling that Jim Bob and Michelle are loosening their hold on the kids.

During Joe's 20th birthday, the family greeted him on Facebook: "Joseph turned 20 on the 20th! He is such a great, diligent young man. He typically gets up early at 5 am and prays and studies his Bible for over an hour. He loves teaching and discipling young men, encouraging them to make wise choices in their lives. God is going to use Joseph in a mighty way to share His love and Bible principles to today's world! We are very pleased with his choices so far. We love you, son."
