That boy will remember his neighbor and those good times for the rest of his life. Back in the late 60s, when I was 3 & 4 years old, we had a neighbor who would meet me at the unused dirt road that ran between our houses. Almost every day we would walk and pick up rusty old nails that we found there while we talked and he told me stories. It was one of my favorite things to do and I looked forward to it every day. It never dawned on me how there could be so many nails in that road. It wasn't until some years later that I found out that he would go out every day before our meeting time and scatter those nails in the road. We picked up the same nails every day for two years. That was 50 years ago and I still remember how I looked forward to our daily walk and remember many of the life lessons he taught.

Growing up I lived at my neighbors place. They still are my neighbors to this day. We would go there straight after school and help with house work, watch TV, talk. My parents would have to come across everyday after work to call us back for dinner. Which a lot of the time we had already eaten by their house. We were and are so tight with our neighbors that we have a gate between yards to allow us quick access. Have a good relationship with a neighbor is a priceless bond.

Love this story. The neighbor just stepped and help this little man take care of the yard and his heart. Thanks for sharing heartwarming video. That neighbor will probably be a lifetime friend of the family.

I loved doing landscaping with my dad when I was little. Made me feel like I was all grown up.

Such a sweet story. Thank you Dean for stepping in and bringing joy to this little guy’s life! And thank you for serving our troops!

Oh this just makes my heart smile after all these years. I am a proud daughter and mother of a Marine. I am also a proud wife of a Soldier. When my husband was deployed, my fatherinlaw asked for a Support your Troops magnet for his truck. He said his way of supporting the troops was doing his son's yard. He was such a sweet man. I am so thankful to all those who serve and the family and friends who support us in so many ways.💜🙏🏽🇬🇺🇺🇸
