Thank you again Steve, CBS and all of the kind, selfless people in the world! I once saw a sign that read, "The world is filled with kind people. If you cannot find one, Be one." 😊

@orchidorio 9 месяцев назад

I have been a downstairs resident and the noise can be booming. When I saw these kids running around like kids I loved them! I would like to think that I would do the same for someone.

@carolwilliams8840 8 месяцев назад

I know what you mean. Sometimes it initially feels bothersome. Then I remember all the children who are being abused or suffering in some way and I'm ok with the sound of children having fun just being children. I even smile to myself.

@dorthymcbride3384 9 месяцев назад

If i was his neighbor, i would babysit gladly! Ask folks to be your village and god bless you all! Mele kalikimaka family!🙏🌟👏

@kaciousrobinson440 8 месяцев назад

When he said, “I can’t do it like her” broke my heart! Means he trying and trying hard but think it’s never enough. He’s grieving while staying strong

😭 what a wonderful man to dig deeper and take the time to get to know his “neighbor”.. he could have raised sand and been oh so ugly and rude about the noise like so many unfortunately do today, but I believe that his kindness and compassion has gifted him a lifelong friend and brother (with a few little nieces/nephews) 😉💜 God bless them both!
