Last night it was still light out when I returned home from work. My new neighbors and his son were in their favorite place, outside in the yard, playing baseball. The young boy always reports to me how many "home runs" he hits and I always clap and cheer for him.

These guys are special. Where you see one of them, the other is not far away. The dad is always talking with the child face to face, focusing on the child… not talking on a cellphone or walking ahead of the boy so that he has to run to keep up with him. This guy is really great. It warms my heart to see a father and son enjoying each other's company like they do.

As they were returning to their upstairs apartment, I asked the dad if his son had a bike. The boy was far ahead and couldn't hear us. He said no. I wasted no time trekking to the store and I was beside myself with excitement as I picked up a new bike in a style that most kids like. I loaded the bike into my car carefully and off I went.

At home, I took out the bike and carried it upstairs to their apartment and left it outside the door. Not an easy task for a 50-year-old woman! About five minutes later, they were at my door, with the boy dancing up and down with excitement. I told the dad that I needed to get rid of a bike that I was storing for a friend, and he was happy to take it from me. Now the two of them have another activity they can do together.

I told the dad how proud I was of him for valuing quality time with his son. It's something the boy will remember throughout his life. For me, it's one of life's pleasure to see them together.
