A 93-year-old who lives alone has sent a handwritten thank you to a five-year-old neighbor who wrote to check in on him amid the UK lockdown. And, I'm crying.


Ron, a grandfather from the West Midlands, said he was “so pleased" to receive the correspondence from Kirah, the neighbor he'd only ever seen in passing before.

“I just wanted to check to see if you're ok?" wrote Kirah.

“I have drawn you a rainbow to remind you that you are not alone. Please write back if you can. From your neighbor at number 9."

Ron sent a response to Kirah telling her he was “keeping well so far."

“It was so nice to hear of your concern for me," he wrote.

“I was the first person to move into the crescent in 1955 and I have been here ever since."

“The situation with the coronavirus is very bad, and we must all do our very best to overcome it and hopefully come out of it in good health again."

“I thought your drawing of the rainbow was amazing and I am going to place it in my window for people to see," he continued.

“I would like to thank you again for writing to me and hope you will be able to be out of isolation soon – from Ron at number 24."

Ron's granddaughter Louisa Smith, shared photographs of the correspondence on Twitter.

Smith told the PA news agency Ron does not know Kirah's family particularly well and has only seen them in passing.

Twitter loved it.







“It was purely spontaneous," Smith said. “In the current circumstances I think that it is just wonderful to see uplifting stories like this… It's particularly lovely in an age of technology that they are handwritten letters."

“No matter the circumstance, goodwill and a kind heart will always bring generations together."

Jasmine Crockett Calls Out Trump's Hypocrisy By Pointing Out How Melania Got Her Visa

Texas Democratic Representative Jasmine Crockett pointed out President Donald Trump's hypocrisy on immigration considering how First Lady Melania Trump's pathway to citizenship was possible because she received an "Einstein visa," which is usually reserved for an individual with "some sort of significant achievement."

Speaking during a House Judiciary Committee hearing titled “Restoring Integrity and Security to the Visa Process,” Crockett noted that “the idea that Trump and my Republican colleagues want to restore integrity and security in the visa process is actually a joke," and harshly criticized the Trump administration's immigration crackdown and visa restrictions.

Hegseth, a former Fox News anchor, had criticized media outlets—including his former network—for what he described as unpatriotic reporting. Hegseth took particular aim at early intelligence assessments suggesting that President Donald Trump's bombing of Iran may not have significantly crippled Iran’s nuclear capabilities.

Fox Host Slams Dem For Dropping An F-Bomb After Praising Trump For The Same Thing Just Minutes Earlier

Trump made headlines this week after admonishing Israel and Iran for violating a ceasefire agreement he'd announced on Truth Social. Although he claimed the ceasefire had been "agreed upon," Iran fired at least six missile barrages at Israel after it was supposed to take effect.
