Kids Write Positive Chalk Messages On Sidewalk For Elderly Passerby

An elderly man has gone viral after he was caught on video writing wholesome chalk messages to a group of neighborhood children. Hope Breter, 26, from Orlando, Florida, couldn't believe her eyes when she looked out of her window and saw a man by the name of Bill leaving a message for her kids – Bentley, 5, Porter, 3, and Scout, 17 months. Most days, Hope's children write chalk messages on the sidewalk outside their home, such as "Be Kind" and "Have A Good Day." Then, one day, as the kids were inside and winding down for the night, Hope noticed her neighbor, Ms. Virginia, and her friend Bill stop to admire the drawings. Bill then picked up a piece of chalk and wrote next to the uplifting messages, "Bill was here." After the initial message was left, on April 19, the children decided they wanted to write Bill a message back, and so they etched "Hi Bill, we love you!" onto the sidewalk the following day. It had rained that day, Hope said, and so she wasn't sure if Ms. Virginia and Bill would come past for their evening walk. But, sure enough, the pair came past later on, and Bill, clearly moved by the gesture, stopped to take a photo of the Breter children's loving message.
