Thanks to April Scott for telling me about this story.

Inside Edition covered the story, and here’s what they had to say.

“Thursdays are stinkin’ exciting for this little cutie. Brooklyn waits by the window for a special visitor who comes by every week. Delvar, the garbage collector always honks the horn and waves at her when he passes by their Indiana home in his truck. One particular Thursday was extra special because it happened to be her 3rd birthday. So she waited on the sidewalk with a cupcake in hand to give to him as he came down their street. The two met and it was the best present she could ask for.”
