Neighbor subs in to help soldier's son with yardwork

[@SgtJoeSmith]

I can't watch a Steve Hartman story without crying

[@aintdatsomeshit682]

This is like my 4th vid with him and my eyes are swollen

[@MuchLoveMa]

I'm gonna sue him for emotional distress...as a tear runs down my face.

[@chunkyloverMC]

its like the onion truck follows him.

[@KoolKukumber]

Same

[@jadesalmon207]

Joe Smith me either

[@okaforchinyerematthew1937]

This man prove that two people come together to give birth to human person but society help to shape him or her positively. Job well done sir.

[@deborahnorman3027]

It takes a village

[@chonladapyvrkc8308]

"Sometimes yardwork grows a lot more than grasses." Good put.

[@BubbaBellin]

"We always talk about supporting our troops, for most of us its a statement that begins and ends at our bumper sticker" That's the truest statement I've heard today.

[@kristiedarling4888]

The picture at the end of both of them is just pure joy on their faces. My heart smiled at this story. What a great guy!

[@mattsievert4057]

Vvvb. Bihb. N8 uh. I j j i

[@Kit91875]

I agree it’s great. Wish I had a father figure like that.

[@caitlinmyriah7657]

Same! That picture made my heart swell with happiness!! 💜

[@buntings]

What a patriot. What words can describe a neighbor looking after a soldier's son and keeping their home looking beautiful and the same time?

[@Brian-uy2tj]

My situation was different growing up. My dad just didn't give a damn and my parents divorced. I had a friend whose father was more of a father to me than my dad every was and I still think of him often. It is important for any kid to have someone in their life who cares about them and is there for them. Even if their father is away serving and still loves his son.

[@tamatoa8261]

A boy that loves doing yard work is worth his weight in gold. 🤙

[@caitlinmyriah7657]

Times 10! 😍💜

[@vanguardcommander4560]

He said he likes to watch his smile while he is returning favor to soldier who keeps them safe 🙏🙏

[@ritadoe1286]

What an awesome gentleman that neighbor is - the world would be a better place, good on you Dean. 🇬🇧

[@rainforme1850]

That man is contributing so much to that boys life that there is no way to say thank you. I love that little boy’s laugh and the man smile. You cannot get more pure

[@dakshiboy6188]

What I want to see is the dads reaction to this video and how he feels when he get back from military

[@elizabethsohler6516]

I suspect he is a decent guy, which means he'll be nothing but grateful.

[@billduplessis5810]

Not only a good neighbor, but a great man🇺🇸

[@BellaWorldAni]

What a great neighbor!!! Wow.

[@BrandyD1777]

I just said it elsewhere....my feed is filled with pure HUMANITY today. Thank you. These communities do exist, the epitome of "streets made of gold."

[@draco4540]

and 5= years later (especially as an older adult), that kid will remember and appreciate the neighbor a whole lot more for his kindness.

[@rachelw821]

AW! Well who wouldn't love to get that little knock???

[@Lilliecwalinski16]

That's what you call a real, soldier's neighbor!!

[@ourfatherswar3464]

Wow!!!! To come back from a hard day at work and still find the time to share with someone else almost every single day wow amazing story

[@TheNamesRyan]

[@laurapeltier158]

What an amazing human being. I know that you know what your time means to this little boy.

[@richjustrich8043]

You’re a good man/neighbor. This kid will grow up to be a good man himself. It takes a village to raise a kid!

[@WadicaWalker]

[@pabloemilioescobargaviria9930]

And that folks is how hank hill grew up kid loves yard work

[@Sasskitten]

Dang that is awesome. I remember times going out and helping my mom with the yard then when the day came that she passed the lawn mowing on to me I thought "Man she said she would never allow anyone to touch her mower." Not even my older brother got to touch it. Sadly she has passed on now. I wish that kid was my neighbor. I could use the motivation.

[@joaquindr6171]

Thank you ... God bless u troops

[@jaimebaird5699]

This is so sweet. I was a single mom to my son. I went out and did our yard work with him.

[@lailasonlineagain8839]

I love this we need more men role models that are present and a good role model for kids especially in a generation where everyone’s inside on their iPad or phone.

[@CallMeSmiel]
