There are lots of big stories in the news today I'd give anything to forget. And there's one that's not in the news that I'd never want to.
Here. Let this kid make your day.

The world is still full of 9-year-old kids with big dreams. And big people who give a rip about 9- year-old kids. It just doesn't feel like it.
This is as good a time as any for me to remind you that you probably know people doing good things for other people. Tell me.

I saw this early this morning and have been thinking about it since. Such a great story.
This thing has gone crazy viral today. Love, love, love it.
Best use of social media EVER!
Bob Collins, thank you for posting things like this! I really really love reading your articles. And I also am extremely happy when I happen to be listening to The Current when you and Mary chat. I used to have an alarm on my phone for it... I'm always missing it now!
Anyway, this story is so touching. Caine is amazing!
Such creativity, kindness and love in this story. Thank you so much for sharing it!
"I used to like Hot Wheels, when I was little."
Awesome.
Hard to write through the tears! Amazing kid, amazing dad, beautiful film. Life is good. Thank you.
