Four-year-old boy teaches his neighbors to love

Knowledge

Roman Butzlaff was a heartbroken little boy. His parents had split up, and his dad moved out of state. But one day, a spark was lit in this little boy’s heart, and he shared it with his neighbors. 

Standing in his front yard, waving and saying “Hey” to passersby brought him newfound joy and opened up his entire neighborhood to meeting, enjoying, and caring for one another. This charming little guy gave them a lesson in how easy it is to give love and get love.

I, too, grabbed a kleenex as I watched it. Such a young boy taught us what love can do to heal and bring people together. I'm happy you liked it too.

"If the world were like this child, what an awesome, awesome place it would be." The sentiment of one of Roman's neighborhood grandmothers couldn't be more spot on.

I know we're all hoping that this boy's open-heartedness and courage stay with him and grow as he does.

Thank you for sharing.

Yes, all the neighbors gained as much as Roman did. They found kindness and caring from neighbors they once barely knew. Roman built a community of love. Thanks for your comment.
