"It was the first time they met, and my daughter is usually so bubbly and outgoing and has a lot to say," said Andracke. "But as soon as he got out of his truck, she just looked at him like he was just this amazing person. She was completely speechless."

Andracke explained it was Brooklyn's birthday and she wanted to give him a cupcake for making every "garbage day" so special.

Afterward, Andracke posted on her personal Facebook page:

"Then, melt my heart, he explained that he looks forward to seeing us every Thursday as well. He said that he has a meeting every Thursday morning and always tries to get out of there in a hurry so that he can make sure to see us every week. He said he doesn't have any kids of his own, but he mentors several children and just loves them."

After he left, Andracke took her daughter to daycare.

"Brooklyn was unusually quiet in the backseat," said Andracke. "I asked her if she was OK, and she said, 'Mommy, I'm so happy.'"

Rather than the story ending there, it took on a life of its own.
