His laugh is so hardy and genuine. I’m happy for him. Loneliness is truly a silent killer. This connection probably added many more years to his life.
Got my eyes teary 😢 Such a lovely story.

This is how it should be. I love this story. If you want good neighbors be a good neighbor and lead with kindness and love. That is building our communities.

That part. Thank you for this!
Thank you - for loving each other. Paul is a gem that's loaded with wisdom. I am happy for you all for finding each other!
I’m glad to see neighbors connect; no matter what the race, age, ethnicity, whatever. The world is a better place for it. I am 72 and live alone (no kids) and worry about my future when it comes to connections with others. Good people here.

@@DebOcchiuto I get it. When I was early 30s a very elderly but spunky lady rented the house next door. She had grown kids that came by occasionally but she was a people person and needed more interaction. We befriended her right away and did our best to keep her connected but she went even further; she parked a lawn chair on the grass at the edge of her front yard, very near the sidewalk. We were close to our town's little downtown shopping/dining area so there was quite a bit of foot traffic on our block. She said, I figure if I sit here and say hello as people pass by, they can't very well ignore me! LOL 😄😂 Cracked me up! She was such a pip. I liked her very much and sadly, she passed suddenly, a short 6 mos later, but I enjoyed knowing her in her last months and she DID get to know quite a few folks! RIP Ms. Jeri Brown, you were an awesome lady! So to Royal Highness and DebO, I say, put yourselves out there and make friends! I probably will in a few yrs!! Also, volunteer in dog rescues. They need helping hands of all ages; there's always something to be done. 😊😊🥰🥰

I would love a neighbour like Paul. Take care of this great elder.
The smiles on the children’s faces tells me all I need to know about their adopted Grandpa ♥️♥️♥️
Great story. It's also good for the kids to be part of multi-generational community/village. 💕
My sisters and I grew up across the street from an elderly couple whose only grandchild lived at least 200 miles a way. All of our grandparents also lived kinda far away. So we adopted them as our grandparents and they adopted us as their grandchildren. We genuinely considered them our third set grandparents and we did call them grandpa and grandma. We did a lot with them and I'm so grateful for the time we got to spend with them. Grandpa died about 10 years ago (I was only 13 but I gave a eulogy at his funeral) and Grandma died about 3 years ago. I miss them everyday!

So sorry for your losses!
God planted you there for Paul & Paul for you. What an amazing FAMILY with an awesome grandad.
This is what community is supposed to be!
God created us to love each other ❤ #just love people ❤ ♥ 💕
This is so sweet! What a beautiful family and what a beautiful relationship they have with their neighbor! I love how Mr. Paul and the kids have their picture with him…just hanging on him like he is a grandpa! I hope we all can be like that someday. They are a wonderful example! Thank-you for sharing your story!
What a blessing can't stop smiling 😁 while 😢 tearing up. God continue blessing there friendship ❤️🙏
I can't stop thinking of this story. It's beautiful. The family and their neighbor are beautiful. This is how the world should be. Neighbors looking out for neighbors.

I had two boys at different times working for me with house construction and maintaining the yard. Their family has adopted me into their family, I am 67 hard to do the yard work. The younger 18 year old boy has worked for since he was 13, he will not let me do any yard work, saying it is his responsibility and he is a very hard worker. I treat him like my son!!
This was the best story of the year. I wish we could hear more stories like this.
Love him...love this family❤❤❤
It's nice to be nice it doesn't cost you nothing!!!
I love this unique story of people treating each other like family. It's sad that the media doesn't show unique stories I think.
This is so heartwarming I'm happy to see people come together in harmony like this. We need more of this right now
This reminds me of the movie Otto played by Tom Hanks. Brings tears to my eyes. You never know what people are going through, so be kind! These neighbors needed each other❤❤❤
I love that story because it sounds like Paul might not have any relatives around, and he probably gets very lonely. This is a family for this man. They even invite him on holidays. The kids think he's Grandpa, and he loves the kids and they love him. Just a beautiful story.
This is what it’s all about right here. Loving one another. What an amazing story 🙂
Lovely people. And hope 1 day we that all people get along like these as an example. ❤🍁🍂
Always make others know they are LOVED and VALUED. Don't ever miss out! So many hearts will be warmed. Wonderful relationships with others who need family in their lives. SUCH A SWEET SWEET FEELING!
This is what a world should be like. No hatred. Just liking someone, and no over analyzing it. Just being at peace. This is a good example of what neighbourhoods should be like.
Man!! This world need to see more of this kindness and love!! It’s so rare
This is such a blessing 💞 This was how it used to be when I was growing up as a kid. These days neighbors barely even speak but we have GREAT neighbors!❤ Thank God 🙌🏽
Our elders or just people older than us is what keeps the balance ❤ we need that around us 💪🏾
This is such a beautiful friendship God bless you all Both sides bring love and joy into each others lives Much love ❤
The family has brought so much joy to Paul ,you can see it on his face ❤. God works in mysterious ways. You came along when he needed this in his life. Thank you, bless you, and your family.
Paul needs this love too ⭐️🙏🏾💛
What a beautiful story lord knows the world is suffering for LOVE ❤️ ❤ THANKS FOR SHOWING ❤❤❤❤ EVERYONE 🎉🎉🎉🎉

Change the headline: White neighbor berates new black family. Trust me, sadly, we know it would be everywhere. We might even get a few protests out of it. Drama sells but I still believe... love DOES/WILL conquer hate!
So sweet and wonderful!
This was a VERY cool report.....
This is so cute
“Love thy neighbor as yourself…”
That is so beautiful ❤
Something special about all of them.
I love her Boston accent 😊😊

This is Wonderful 👍👍,, have great neighbors is such a blessing. Much Love to the Family and Granpa Paul ❤🎉😊
This warms my heart. I wish all of us could share a story like this.

Awww, so sweet 🥰 I pray to have neighbors as kind as this family when I get there ❤
Wow beautiful story and it made me cry so much 😢😢😢😢😢 God Bless Them Always 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏 From Edinburg Texas
What a great and beautiful story.
That is good for Mr.Paul and the family.
I think your family must be lovely and that makes it easier to reflect that love back to you. I have 7 children - 6 sons- and my husband was in the military while we raised them. I knew when we moved to our new duty station, when we pulled up to the house and they started unloading all the bikes and toys that the neighbors would be nervous to see so much "stuff". I use to bake cookies and send plates regularly to the neighbors with the boys. How can you be mad when a stray ball comes into your yard when the boys are always bringing cookies to you. We have been so fortunate to ALWAYS have great neighbors. Now in retirement, we lucked into this forever home with fantastic neighbors again.
I love !😭🥰🙏🏿
I love this so much and I totally agree w/her, give your neighbors a chance. Do your best to start off the right (friendly) foot. Maybe you'll become fast friends, maybe not, but odds are better that at least you won't have negative experiences. We all have to get along when we live next to each other! Some of the best friends I've ever had were neighbors from years ago.
Beautiful 😍... love him as long as he lives..
I love her accent! Where is it from? At first I thought Brooklyn…
Paul is a sweetie ❤
GOD BLESS you guys🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾☝🏽☝🏽☝🏽
He’s amazing!!! Love them❤❤❤❤😊
