One custodian's happy tears

Earlier this month, Francis Apraku, custodian at James Madison High School in Vienna, Virginia, was brought to his knees at an astonishing sight, courtesy of students at his school. Correspondent Steve Hartman talked with Apraku about how his heart's desire was made real.

Sweet boys to ask the question in the first place. And then to make it come true and not just say "nice dream." In the process everyone involved as well as all in the community lifted up by witnessing an act of generosity.

The true gift was kindness. The Jeep was just the 'bow' on the gift! Awesome story. We can all give kindness every day. Try it, it will come back to you ten times over and it will make the world a better place.

Another feel good story that brings you to tears at the love and generosity, and then you pause and think, “Oh. The school district doesn’t even pay this man enough to afford a vehicle.”
God bless America, indeed.
