Sons have a certain way of pleasantly surprising their mothers.
When Tommy, a high school senior, asked his mom to stop the car as they were driving home she was immediately frightened. She told WTVR:
“I got scared and asked ‘what’s wrong?’”
That’s when she received a totally unexpected response:
“There’s an older man with a walker shoveling snow — I’ll help him out,” he explained.
So, he hopped out of the car and asked the man for a shovel. According to Tommy, the gentleman looked relieved when he offered to help, as the snow was deep and difficult to shovel.

It took Tommy nearly 15 minutes to get the driveway shoveled, and all the while his mama was beaming with pride. She recalled:
“I was so proud I started to cry.”
The man was incredibly thankful for Tommy’s act of kindness: “God bless you,” he said. “The world needs more people like you.”
