This story touched me and I wanted to share it with you. Thank you GYA Today for spreading the word about this special boy. “What good deed did you do today?” What a great question for a parent to ask their children!

    How touching! Thank you so much for sharing this! And yes, I love the idea of asking your children what good deeds they’ve done each day – what a great way to start the habit of giving and gratitude early!
