Toddler Rushes To Hug Pizza Delivery Man Not Realizing He Just Lost His Daughter
How could this little boy sense how much this pizza delivery man needed kindness?
Pizza delivery man Ryan Catterson was delivering pizza to a family in West Warwick, Rhode Island not realizing he was the one who was about to get the best delivery of all.
WLNE reports Lindsey Sheely shared an adorable video clip captured on her Ring doorbell camera.
It shows her little boy running out to insist on giving Catterson a hug after he delivers his family’s pizza.
Sheely posted it on Instagram thinking it was a cute moment to share.
It was only after posting the video that Sheely learned the real story behind the story.
That Catterson’s 16-year-old daughter had recently passed away unexpectedly.
That he was really hurting.
That he needed something, anything to get him through his evening.
That hug was everything.
Out of the arms of babes.
A reminder.
“After losing my daughter this past week, it touched me because it was like she was there,” Ryan Catterson said. “It really just meant a lot to me.”

That we never really know what anyone is going through.
That a hug,
A simple act of kindness can change someone’s day.
Maybe even save a life.
Catterson told WLNE, “After losing my daughter this past week, it touched me because it was like she was there,” Ryan Catterson said. “It really just meant a lot to me.”
