(2022·山西测试)In Los Angeles, UPS driver Hector Vesco noticed that while he did his normal route, there was one kid, Langston Walbuck, who looked sad because he never got a delivery. Once Hector understood why Langston looked upset, he decided to put together a package and deliver it to Langston himself.
A father of two himself, he knew that he would have to check in with Langston's parents before proceeding. Using a blank UPS slip, Hector wrote out a note reading, “Hi, this is Hector, your UPS driver. I've seen your son plenty of times on the balcony and he seems very sad that he doesn't get any packages. When he asked me if I had any packages for him, I told him, “Don't worry. Maybe next time. So, anyway, I've bought something and put it in a box. Just wanted to know his name.” Hector also shared his number so that the parents could contact him directly.
After getting all the information he needed from Langston's mom, Brooke, Hector showed up the next day and surprised a very excited Langston with the delivery.
Of course, the gesture of delivering the parcel was nice enough as is, but it turns out what was inside made it even better! When Langston opened up the box, he found a collection of toy cars and a bunch of candy, as well. It doesn't get much better than that for a little boy.
After the delivery was made, Langston's mother, Brooke, sent a followup text to thank Hector again for his kindness. In Hector's message back to Brooke, he mentioned that Langston helped him remember how many kids, along with his, had to live through the COVID19 pandemic. “Our kids are our world and the future,” he said, and finished off with, “Your UPS driver just wanted to show some love.”
