She was afraid that he died. Oh that made me cry. Lord more years for this man.
So precoius
Certainly my wish
Cherry Lin, it made me sad 😢😢that she was afraid he had died. Love 😍makes the world go round. This just made my day!!
Omg that made me cry too
Same
Norah's mom deserves as much credit as Norah, if not more. She's obviously done a wonderful job raising Norah, plus recognized their connection and allowed their beautiful friendship to blossom!! ❤️❤️❤️
yes yes yes yes.... Ruby, u are right...
Mom is awesome... love Nora
@@JustMe-jr4ok 💜💕💜💖💖💖
Right! I believe her parents are also wonderful people
Well said..!!
This is such a beautiful love story!
Little angel: *_"He's sweet!, like a peppermint.."_*
*_"oo... peppermint.."_*
@Ultronix Extreme Lol! Too adorable! I love it! What a precious darling. She and her mother are blessings from God, in a vicious world. ❤😊🙏
yes i luv pepper mint
She still visits him with her three year old sister and their mom has become good friends with him
Thank you for the update, I was going to write asking the producers to give us an update, at least once a year.
More regular updates plzzzz
Thanks for the update💞
Oh, Thank You! :)
I hope she gets to spend more time with him cause u know time is running out for him
She was worried that he did not answer the door immediately. This is so pure. May God give them a lot more years together. It is so healing to this once lonely man. Thanks to the mom for en
encouraging the friendship
I hope this adds years on him. 😁
Amen 😪
Amen
Peace on Earth, Good Will towards man...
@Ester Nakale Amen. ❤😭🙏
His wife came back for another hug.
I agree!
You never know
Uhm no, just don't seem like it, it's more like she's an Angel and was placed in his life by God for moments like this, now he's not alone anymore, God Bless them always
@cubomania3 it was spirits.
@@priscillalander5193 The bible says we are Saint's with free will just like Angel's.
“What’s it feel like to be loved that much?”
“I think you can see.”
Oh god my heart
TO: EVERYONE
Please keep in mind that just one word, one smile, one hug can literally change a person's minute, day, week or life. Say Hi to a stranger on behalf of those you love.
Copy that!👍
That is so true
Andy Miller I do, and you are so right!😭
Right on Andy. And hi to you.
Exactly
She’s a little angel sent to console him. And yes I’m crying.
Carmen Alberto same here
Carmen Alberto every time I watch this video I end up crying like a baby
@@gabatar5961 , it's ok
I'd be lying if I said this story didn't bring a tear to my eye... And I'm a 42 year old man!!!
Me too lol God bless
I'm crying. The mom is so nice to share her daughter.
She has a golden heart, just like her daughter. Love them ❤️
Girley Borer I agree
You are right but this a 2-way street the lil one is benefiting greatly from his affection as well.
2:48 pretty sure that’s her drawings on his fridge 😭😭
Joe Mane you have good eye .
@ Sar moon Night I agree. I didn't catch it either.
😭😭
Awwww!
R.I.P to Dan Petterson. I'm sure he was grateful for the 4 years of friendship that little Norah gave him after his wife died. I'm sure Nora will remember Dan as she grows up in her life as well.
I didn't know he had passed. I'm sure that this little girl gave him the confidence to move on.
that little girl's mom is awesome too .
right
If her mom has done well in raising her daughter well...hit the button.....
He was depressed for 6 months not knowing his wife was preparing his angel 😇🙌
😍😍😍😍
@I8thumper Atleast he was in good spirit. RIP
God this hit me in the feels.Not in a bad way but it a wholesome way I teared up.
Never a truer statement! What a sweet way to word it !! This whole story made me cry like a little baby !! RIH MR. DAN !!!
Indeed ❤️
Mary sent this little angel to watch over him and protect him when she couldn’t.. life is still beautiful . Thank you and bless y’all
which mary???
His wife.....
aww im pretty sure my mom made me but WhO kNOwS
She gave him a new purpose. This is so beautiful. She will grow into a wonderful, compassionate young lady.
God knew he needed that first hug.
Yes, he did!
"Hi old person, it's my birthday!" I dont know why, but this made me laugh. What a sweet story.
Steve Hartman doesn't get enough credit. He is perhaps my favorite journalist/reporter. He does stories that really gets me crying.
Before Hartman, it was Charles Kuralt who did these CBS human-interest, feel good stories.
He was quite a bit better at it with his homespun demeanor and folksy charm.
Well 6ft 7 in builder from Glasgow Scotland in my office crying don't tell anyone
I seen initial video of first meeting and watched a 100 times minimally. You should watch it. It struck a cord with me and I'm 6'4 but it shows you have compassion and tears flow normally because you have a heart and love what you see, sometimes things in life are unexplainable but u just embrace and cherish it.
That's so sweet ..💜💜
Big softie. ;D
I won't tell on you if you don't tell on me. 😊
Robert Connor i know right? This is hope pure hope! Hugs from mexico
Dear CBS - please keep publishing stories like these. There is enough negativity in the news. Sweetness and optimism are sorely needed and wanted in the world. People crave these kinds of stories!
Even if you dont believe in God. This man lost his wife was so heartbroken but then met this girl. And showed this world sth they have never seen before ♡ pure love of an innocent soul and a sad old soul.
I can't imagine what she's been through when he passed away.😪
I was thinking just that 😭
Please keep updating. It's so hearwarming.
It’s been a year I think we deserve the update now 😩
Yes, please
@beth s so good to hear this
He passed away feb 11th 2020 :(
Just proves loneliness is a bigger slow killer than anything else
Susie English you have no idea.....i don't have a wife or children and i am battling depression but i have an 8 year old niece and when i see her i feel like Dan does, i hug her, i kiss her we sit and talk for hours she's good therapy for me......we all need love......good on Nora and Dan i hope they have many happy years together.
@@shamramnarine132 you are not alone..its gonna be alright
@@shamramnarine132 i don't have a husband or children but luckily i don't feel loneliness. I am just settled in myself
@@shamramnarine132 I understand how depression is. Deep dark depression. I sympathize with you. I try to be grateful for the good days. Sending hugs to you💕
You have that right Susie. Didn't think at 42 life would be so empty and with no one to share it with but maybe it's better past so-called friends and girl friends have only spit on me or belittled me. Life who knew
Mr. Dan passed away February 2020, R.I.P. kind soul.
butler thorne where is the link?
@@deeatl1 He died 02/10/20. His obituary may be in the "Augusta Chronicle" newspaper online. A story on WRDW tv station ran an update ( 02/11/20) that showed them visiting on 02/09/20. That video may also be on their website.
😭🥰🙏🏼
Daniel Ray Peterson
Augusta, GA- Dr. Daniel Ray Peterson entered into eternal rest on February 10, 2020. Born in Eli, NE, Dr. Peterson lived the last twenty years of his life in the Augusta area.
He was a beloved and exceptional mathematics professor and administrator at several colleges. He was a proud veteran of the United States Air Force. He was a pilot and loved flying and he also loved to garden.
Dr. Peterson was preceded in death by his parents Lawrence Peterson and Rachel Garner Peterson and his wives Mary Parker Peterson and Norma Jean Peterson. He is survived by his sons Keith Peterson of California, Gary Peterson of Florida (Chrissy); his daughters Kerri Thole of California (Ken), Julie Surles of Georgia, Janie Ross of Georgia (Brent), Stephanie Bailey of South Carolina (Wayne); 12 grandchildren; 8 great-grandchildren; one brother; two sisters and dear friend Norah Wood.
In the first interview Dan said he was just waiting for his death...but then comes this little angel. I think the first hug and their friendship extended his life.
That is so sweet. Every time I see these two together I cry. It is so special. I am 77 and my husband is 81 we have grandchildren we hardly see. They definitely don't seem to love us like this little girl loves her friend. I blame that on the parents who havent instilled in their children what it means to old people to see their family.
Love you Mrs. Carol😊
Carol Thomas ❤️❤️❤️❤️🤗
I love you ❤
They love you!!!!! Sending love to you from me and my family
Love you too Mrs. Carol Thomas
After seeing the original story, I was wondering how they were doing. Thanks for the update
...yeah me too. this should be turn into a movie
@I8thumper oh no!! mr. dan passed away?! this is one news that i dont want to hear😢...how was she taking it now that mr. dan is gone....please tell me more about it. i am really sad to hear that mr. dan is gone😢
@I8thumper ...did norah was able to spend time with mr. dan before he passed away? how was she taking it? oh man im really sad right now....
I'm getting older. It's not fun to be alone as we age. I'm blessed, i have a husband and family. Please find someone that needs your company.
Her mom is just as compassionate as her daughter 💕
hats off to her mom ❤
Edit : Whenever I Feel Low, I Come Here To Watch This Video 🙏
Adeeb . Very true. Parents make a big difference in a child upbringing. This child is truly a loving spirit that i bet was brought up in a loving and giving family. Our sad generation and society teach us to be wear of strangers for they could harm us. And I get it. I have two little ones who I protect from harm but we forget that the elderly just as much as children need compassion, love, patience and attention. This a very sweet story . 😊
Her mom is also spending her time to take her daughter to him
Absolutely true. I have watched this dozens of time & will continue to watch it. One of the best stories ever.
Kind of feels like his wife had something to do with sending him a precious little angel!!
How sad that strangers love him and come to visit him every weekend while his children and grandchildren don't
And you know that he does have children and grandchildren?
goddy5890 He has his own grandchildren, it was mentioned by the reporter in a previous vid
Well they are certainly not strangers anymore
Western culture for you.
@msinvincible. Before you judge his children or grandchildren. You don’t know their own situations either. Maybe they live far away. Maybe they have issues in their lives just as he did. The only fact that mattered is that he was well loved with his remaining life by this family and this little girl. That’s all that mattered.
This an example that our old generations shouldn’t be left like this.
I agree!! I find it very sad that so many clicked like and love to so many posts, but yours only has 35!!! I am 71 and I feel as you do. I would love to know love and attention like what they had!!❤😢❤
his wife did this
bettybundgaard I agree totally. This is so precious
bettybundgaard absolutley it cant be coincidence at all
Dats wat im sayin
could be.
Yes.. she sent an angel to him🙂
This is why it is so important to cultivate our children's awareness of their environment. And teach them to invest in others. To think outside of themselves and to work to help others. Teaching our children to build community and respect for others. It's good for them and it's good for the ones that they impact. Having healthy boundaries is also important, but clearly getting them to focus past themselves is a win-win.
Dachdog Do you have children? I work with children & have a BA in child & family development and you said this perfectly! This is part of what we always discuss in my cfd classes. Hah
Dachdog Healthy boundaries 😏
hehehehehe
Very precise
Teach the Bible
We you my friend.
Xx
"Sweet like a peppermint" is going to be my new mood for the rest of my life. This video is amazing.
“He’s sweet like a peppermint!” Awwww!! ❤️
I seem to be having some kind of allergic reaction that is making my eyes water A LOT and want to hug someone.
Lorraine Williams Me Too... Maybe is something in the air!! 😭😅😂
Lorraine Williams lol. Sending you a 🤗 😊
I think it's a virus spread through the Internet...I'm experiencing the same symptoms. 😂😂
For all you 👼 out there🤗🤗🤗🤗
I think its contagious!
So happy the mother is supportive of this ❤️ She’s teaching her child to be selfless and she’s helping this man increase his longevity ❤️
Marissa Rashid Not only increasing his longevity, but giving that longevity meaning, happiness, companionship, purpose, and love. ❤️ Without the latter, his (Increased) time has little meaning or worth. This mother embodies parenting - and humanity -done right.
"He's sweet like a peppermint. Ooooh... peppermint." I giggled
This reminds me of when I was a kid I used to hang out with a old man he was like family to me I even called him BOBO, man I loved him soo much but you know time comes he died when I was 6 RIP bobo rip
This was hard to watch but well worth the tears. I love their bond and the smile on his face and the look in his eyes when she's around reminds me of MY grandpa whom I lost in 2004. I do hope you continue to give updates as I know this is one of Steve Hartman's fave stories as well.
Cassie Sincere condolences on the loss of your Grandfather. I bet he is proud of the woman you have become and just how closely you have kept him in your heart. I'm glad this story brought you fond memories.
Wow! Thank you! Didn't expect such a nice and sweet message from a total stranger. I Was having a pretty "craptastic" day but that comment just turned my whole day around - thank you again!
Cassie You're welcome. There are thoughtful people out here in RUclips land. Some of us, I'm sure, would be honored to experience your "craptastic" (made me chuckle) day. Smile. The fact that I was able to turn your frown upside down made it all worth the while. It brought me the joy I much needed today. Always remember there is someone in this world who cares for you...even if it is a perfect stranger.
Cassie So wonderful to see...123
lol I know right such a blessing
Omgaaaaa her crying cause he didn’t open the door fast enough....😭😭😭😭😭I wasn’t ready!!!! 🙌🏽😍🤗🙏🏽
So Sad to see that Mr Dan is no more....May His Soul Rest in Peace
Just heard from Nora’s mom’s Facebook page , that Mr. Dan passed away on Monday. Only a day after having pancakes with Nora.
Seriously??? OMG that's terrible!!
RIP Mr. Dan
if she cried when he didnt answer the door quick enough, then i can only imagine her reaction when he finally kicks the bucket.
I read from the comments from the other video that he passed away just this february. So sad but at least he was happy
@@leluthor5357 wow i didn't know he passed
Devastated surely, but if she doesn't already then time will come for her to realize how much she meant the world to him for 4 long and happy years
There's a video of her crying at his funeral
Just IMAGINE if she would have been on a CELLPHONE and COMPLETELY overlooked him. This story is just ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL!!!!
C J Angie's prob old, give her a break. her sentiment was correct though: it's iPads/tablets today's toddlers are glued to.
Idk I'm young, and I think it's pretty obvious the negative impact of entertaining toddlers/ children 24/7 with screens. It messes with creativity, independent thought, internal awareness, situational awarwness, social development, and learning patience and appropriate behavior.
@@lightyears2go wow, way to insult someone. Nice👌
Aubree W old is an insult? sheesh, guess it's true everyone's a snowflake these days. 👌
@C J I see it all the time in the grocery store...unfortunately. Parents give them the phone rather than teach them how to behave in public and interact with people. Thank God this was not the case here.
This is just the sweetest thing. Mom you raised a great daughter. More of this world needs people like her.
Why am I watching this before I have to leave the house, my eyes getting all puffy now.. What a beautiful friendship they had and Norah is such a special girl. May you rest in peace Dan.
His wife's soul/spirit lives in this little girl ❤️
I'm pretty sure she's actually her own person. You don't need to be the ghost of someones dead wife in order to be kind and loving towards them.
That ending got me
She's too pure for this world 👼
Little kids and animals 'feel' character. They know good people.
This wee angel's tears made me well up because she thought something happened to her best friend when he didn't answer the door quickly. That is a TRUE friendship.
I can't imagine her reaction when Dan passes away but I do hope he gets to live more years.
Her heart will break but we will be there to pray for her and her family and pour all that love back onto them.
He is No more....
“Hi old person”. The pure of the a child
One of the most beautiful testimonies to humanity I’ve ever seen
What a great story! How sweet the mother let this special friendship blossom😊
I cannot even express the joy this brings me. It reminds me of the special bond my own little girls have with my 97 year old grandmother, whom they call grandma great.
"Grandma Great" I just love that Amy!! Awww
Grandma Great is definitely in the top 5 cutest things I've ever heard..
Mr. Dan died yesterday. My heart so much for Norah.
Oh really? RIP Dan
So sweet, she's in angel sent from heaven.😥
God is good! 💙
Sweet like a peppermint. Lol. She so sweet
This is the sweetest thing I've ever seen. That's definitely God's work. The first video was so cute. This one brung on tears. I hope he's around for quite some time.
Man u see how u never no what ppl are going through be nice
That last bit with them hugging had me hiding a tear as I’m in the lounge with my men. I hope she knows not everyone lives forever. ❤️
Never hide a tear. 😢
My heart is so full just watching this I cry happy tears every time. Sweetest thing I have ever seen 😍😢
Tori Crabtree sweeter than you? 😂
She is already a special person but will grow up to be an even more special person who deserves to be lifted up to the next level through her life.
John, fantastic 👌👌👌👌👌 words for that little girl.
And he's gonna watch over her like a hawk for eternity. ❤️
What a wonderful little girl and her mum deserves so much respect for letting this amazing friendship start and grow. ❤️
Hello Margaret
How are you doing today?
I pray one day nobody will ever have to ask "how does it feel to be that loved", but instead we'll all truly know. Amen.
Beautiful just beautiful❣ Nora's mum deserves credit for raising such a gorgeous little kind soul.
SHES A ANGEL
what a precious sweetheart!!
My God you can tell that Norah was genuinely concerned when he didn't answer, and his response 😭 I love that her Mom allows her to still visit. Mom's heart is just as beautiful as her sweet daughter.
Hello Andrea
How are you doing today?
What a beautiful little girl...full of compassion and love! Dan is such a kind and gentle soul. So glad they have an enduring friendship. 💜
Stupid onions! What a blessing. Thank-you for teaching your child love and respect.
Yah,onions again
They'll be best friends forever God works in mysterious ways a connection forever just soooo sweet they've been tight every since and he's no child molester so don't say that
Believe me, she already knows more of him, then he has told her. She feels his grieve and amazing how she cares about him. She is already a 'grown young emotional balanced women', in a little package 🙏
This little girl is the sweetest thing I've ever seen. I'm glad she has brought a lot of happiness to this man. We need more kids like this in this world.
Nothing but God's love and we all could learn from these two!
My heart just burst!! Such a sweet story! God works in mysterious ways!!
Just an update from Norah's mom Mr. Dan had passed away this Feb 10, 2020 😭😭
I can't stop crying...good job parents
Hello Dear
How are you doing today?
Old souls...🤗🤗
Ever see the movie I Origins? This made me think of that.
Shes an angel
So happy to see an update on Norah and Dan. Such a beautiful story. Little Norah has changed Dan's life, so wonderful to see.
you can't ever replicate this kind of love. this is the most real, purest and truest form of love that could ever be shared between people and i'd be blessed to even receive a fraction of that love from somebody some day.
Lucky grumpy old man. Hope you two have more years together.
I am so glad her mom takes her to see him. Most elderly live a life alone specially those who never had children. ❤️ god bless their relationship for many more years!!
My heart is soooo full right now. God bless this child, her mother, and this loving man ❤
It's going to be so heartbreaking when he dies 😭
Just saw an update. He has passed
She is an angel of God in human flesh sent to cheer that man up and brighten his days. I needed this story because I have been in a funk lately and this cheered me up too.
Melissa Walker Sending you love to uplift your spirit! Always remember that somebody in this big old world cares for you and is thinking of you.
That is to sweet, their greeting was amazing & how they became friends is just priceless the little girl put a smile on a lonely man's face & now he looks forward to see this ADORABLE little girl be blessed in JESUS NAME both of u. 😎😇.
Amen, praise Jesus.
In his darkest hour, Dan was sent an angel dressed as Nora. I think it's Dan's wife telling him it's ok to love again and now he does. What a story.
People just want someone to love and be loved back, unconditionally. Someone to share things with. Beautiful man, I love how he laughs with so much joy and tears in his eyes. Rest in peace Dan🕊️
I watched their first encounter. I cried. Now 2 years down the line I watch them again and am still crying. Such a pure and beautiful Love story. This is how we r to love one another with no hidden motives.
OMG...I'm sobbing SO HARD over here...You would think I'm at a funeral...This is nothing GOD'S WORK... #😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭....This is THE SWEETEST /LOVING STORY I'VE EVER HEARD IN MY ENTIRE LIFE. LIike seriously ppl my eyes are red...I'm blowing my nose🤧, it's bad...I believe in MIRACLES and ANGELS..AND THEY'RE IT!
London Mccray same 😭😭
London Mccray DITTO!!!
God is so good love y’all
I’ve watched this video so many times and yet I still cry every single time. It warms my heart to know that this special kind of love is what keeps him happy:) This little girl is giving out huge love out of her tiny body and it is amazing!!!
i cannot even imagine how this little girl is feeling right now.. rest in peace sweet mr. Dan..
