    Norah's mom deserves as much credit as Norah, if not more. She's obviously done a wonderful job raising Norah, plus recognized their connection and allowed their beautiful friendship to blossom!! ❤️❤️❤️

    This is why it is so important to cultivate our children's awareness of their environment. And teach them to invest in others. To think outside of themselves and to work to help others. Teaching our children to build community and respect for others. It's good for them and it's good for the ones that they impact. Having healthy boundaries is also important, but clearly getting them to focus past themselves is a win-win.

Our sad generation and society teach us to be wear of strangers for they could harm us. And I get it. I have two little ones who I protect from harm but we forget that the elderly just as much as children need compassion, love, patience and attention. This a very sweet story . 😊

The only fact that mattered is that he was well loved with his remaining life by this family and this little girl. That’s all that mattered.
