The spontaneous gesture of a young boy on his way to school prompted a police officer to share the good deed in the hopes of locating him to say thank you.<\/p>\n
Louisville Metro Police Department officer Jan Dykes was out on patrol when a boy stopped her and asked her a question.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe stopped me and was like, \u2018Hey, before you leave, would you mind if I prayed with you for your day and my day going to school?\u201d Dykes said.<\/p>\n
The boy was near his bus stop on his way to school when he stopped the officer and made the special request.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt was great,\u201d she said, as per ABC local news station WTVM.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe said, \u2018I want to pray for this officer\u2019s safety. I made a new friend. I really hope her day goes great, and hopefully she makes a lot of lives better and going to school and meeting new people.\u2019 It was really great to think this kid had this much excitement.\u201d<\/p>\n
Dykes said she was stunned by the child\u2019s kindness and open heart. She even went back to the bus stop to try to find him at the end of the school day but didn\u2019t have any luck.<\/p>\n
\u2018It bought a lot of joy to me\u2019
\nEven though she does not know the boy\u2019s name or where he lives, she wants him to know how much his gesture meant to her.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt brought a lot of joy to me for him to want to do that for me,\u201d Dykes said.<\/p>\n
\u201cOften times people are thinking, \u2018How can you go and help them?\u2019 and it\u2019s just nice to see he wanted to do that for me. It made me happy and see someone so young and moldable being so positive and wanting to be that light.\u201d<\/p>\n
