Father’s Day love doesn’t have to be reserved for the man who raised you. This story shows it can even be given to someone you meet in a grocery store—and it can transform their life.
It’s been nearly two years since people first heard about the unlikely friendship between little Norah Wood and 83-year-old Dan Peterson.
Peterson was grieving the death of his wife—and he wasn’t sure if he would emerge from his deep depression, or ever sleep through the night again.
But, then he met a 5-year-old in the grocery aisle.
