As the outbreak of the Coronavirus continues to engulf the world in a blanket of uncertainty, small acts of kindness manage to leave a mark in people’s hearts. One such act was witnessed recently when a five-year-old girl wrote a heartfelt letter to her 93-year-old neighbour, inquiring him about his health and well-being. The latter, who is in isolation, decided to reply to the little girl. The exchange between the two, shared by the man’s granddaughter on Twitter, went viral and is nothing less than heartwarming.
The Twitter user, who goes by LMS, wrote, “My Grandad is 93 and currently in isolation of course - but is in very good health - and he has received the most beautiful letter from his 5-year-old neighbor and he wrote back to her. Just please read, it should make you smile.”
The girl, Kirah, wrote to him to check if he was okay. She also drew a rainbow for him to remind him that he wasn’t alone. In response to the letter, the neighbour expressed his pleasure on receiving the letter and informed that he was doing well and would place her drawing of the rainbow on the window so that the passers-by could see it.
These letters garnered a whooping 141.6k likes and 22.8k retweets on Twitter, and people couldn’t help talking about it.
