Some stories light up your day like a child’s smile on a sunny morning, and this article about young Noah saying goodbye to his garbage man is one that’s got me all warm and fuzzy inside!

I’m just bursting with happiness thinking about this 9-year-old boy in Florida, who’s been running out every Tuesday since he was five to wave at his favorite trash collector, building a sweet friendship over years of honks and smiles.

It’s so uplifting to hear how Noah, heartbroken to learn the county was switching companies, raced inside to scribble a thank-you note, grab his old toy garbage trucks, and hand them over with a bottle of water to say thanks for all the kindness.

I love how his mom, Catherine, said it was like watching him say goodbye to a piece of his childhood—those little moments of connection really shape a kid’s heart.

The way Noah’s simple love for that big green truck turned into a bond that touched so many online makes my soul sing.

This story lifts me up because it’s a beautiful reminder that even the smallest friendships, built on waves and kindness, can leave a lasting mark on the world.
