Brooklyn Andracke is a big fan of her garbage man, who always honks the trucks horn and waves. Delvar Dopson is essentially her hero. He is our favorite awesome smiley garbage man, her mother, Traci Andracke, [said]. Brooklyns fascination with Dopson started because his truck would drive by their house, [and she] noticed Dopson driving the massive vehicle. It became all about him after that, Andracke said. It wasnt the garbage truck anymore, but it was the garbage man that she wanted to see. When Brooklyn turned 3, the tot decided she wanted to share part of her big day with him. She patiently waited outside her home until Dopson pulled onto their street. When Andracke motioned for Dopson to stop the garbage truck, Brooklyn presented him with one of her birthday cupcakes. Dopson was instantly speechless, Andracke said. I explained to him that he makes our day every Thursday, she added. After he left ... Brooklyn was unusually quiet. I asked her if she was okay, and she said, Mommy, Im so happy. The following week, Dopson returned for his refuse-collecting round and gave Brooklyn a belated birthday present: toys from her favorite movie, Frozen. In return, Brooklyn made him a thank you note, which hes since displayed with pride in his truck. Id love for people to remember that a small gesture - a honk, wave, smile - doesnt take much effort. Just do it, the mom told HuffPost. You never know who is on the receiving end of that smile and how it can really brighten their day.
