Lindsey Sheely from West Warwick, Rhode Island saw this power at work with her two-year-old son, Cohen. On what was another normal day for them, when they ordered food from their favorite restaurant, Wicked Good Pizza, Cohen ran after the delivery guy and said “Bye-bye!” before inviting him for a hug. The sweet interaction was caught by their doorbell camera and Lindsey shared the clip on social media. Little did they know, the delivery guy, Ryan Catterson, had just lost his 16-year-old daughter, Alyssa, and needed a hug more than ever. When Ryan saw the video online, he reached out to Lindsey to ask if he could share it on his Facebook page. Lindsey then discovered a GoFundMe page for Alyssa's funeral expenses on Ryan's profile and was moved by his story. After realizing the impact of Cohen's hug on Ryan, Lindsey updated her post to include a link to Ryan's GoFundMe page. She believes that this experience was a "little blessing from God" and that Ryan was the one to deliver their pizza for a reason. Ryan couldn't agree more and believes that the hug was like a message from his daughter or the universe telling him that everything happens for a reason. This heartwarming story shows that even the simplest gesture from a child can touch someone's life in ways we may never know. It's also a reminder to check on your loved ones and never ignore mental health problems. We never know what someone else is going through, so it's important to be kind and show compassion whenever we can. In the end, Ryan was beyond thankful for that sweet little hug from Cohen, and we can all learn from this beautiful moment.

It's none other than Sir Rod Stewart! The legendary singer-songwriter has recently taken up a new task - repairing potholes on the rural road of his neighborhood. In a heartfelt video he shared on Instagram, Sir Rod is seen donning a neon vest and reflectors while holding a shovel. His mission was to fill the potholes on the road to improve the safety of drivers and pedestrians. The road has been in terrible condition for years, with potholes filled with water that make the road constantly wet and muddy. Sir Rod shared his unpleasant experience of driving on the road and how many people had damaged their cars. He even saw an ambulance blow out a tire because of the potholes! While some people were skeptical of Sir Rod's actions, most agreed that it was a much-needed effort that prompted immediate action from local authorities. The Essex County Council warned that public works should be done by professionals, but they also said they would be happy to meet with the singer to discuss the issue. It's clear that something needs to be done, as residents like Dominic Zarian have had to spend about $150 on car repairs due to the poor condition of the road. But it's heartwarming to see someone like Sir Rod take matters into his own hands and try to make a difference in his community. Let's hope that this inspires more people to take action when they see something that needs to be done. It may not be easy, but as Sir Rod has shown us, a little effort can go a long way.
