I saw a couple come out of the house and wave a signal at the bus. A moment later, I saw a little boy, about two years old come out of the house.  If I remember correctly, he had a blue backpack. He came down the stairs carefully, and a young boy came off the bus.  The little boy greeted him, and grabbed him by the hand.  They walked up the stairs together.


      I think I will tell the patents how it warmed my heart. And ask what time this happens each day, so I can stop by and just watch. I don’t want pictures of video. I hate when people set up things like that to get attention online. However, I won’t tell them how much I squealed while watching, The person on my phone call can attest to that. 


     There’s still so much beauty in this world!!
