5 Y.O. Girl Sends An Adorable Letter To Her 93 Y.O. Neighbor Asking If He’s OK, He Replies
Paradoxical as it sounds, it sometimes appears that social distancing is bringing people together. No matter how often we read about the society that has become divisive, we also have seen more than enough examples of quarantine bringing out the best in people. You’re about to read one such heartwarming example below.
This week, 22-year-old teacher Louisa May shared a tweet in which she says that her grandfather, who is 93 years old and therefore in isolation, received the most heartwarming and beautiful letter from his young neighbor. The writer, a 5-year-old girl living nearby, appeared to be deeply concerned about the elderly neighbor’s wellbeing. Both the letter and the reply from the neighbor has gone viral, with over 140k people liking the tweet and over 20k sharing it.

“My grandad is 93 and currently in isolation of course-but is in very good health-and he has received the most beautiful letter from his 5-year-old neighbor and he wrote back to her. Just please read, it should make you smile,” the woman who shared the letters tweeted.

“Hello, my name is Kirah,” the little girl starts off her letter. “I am 5-years-old and I have to stay at home because of the coronavirus. I just wanted to check to see if you’re ok? 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.”
Isn’t this just the cutest? The 5-year-old kid not only showed concern for the elderly neighbor, but she also drew him a rainbow to remind him that he’s not alone! Now that’s the kind of letters we’d all want in our postbox.
People loved the response from the self-isolating 93-year-old as well

“Hello Kirah, I was so pleased to receive your message asking about my well being, and I am pleased to say I am keeping well so far,” the 93-year-old neighbor replies. “Like you, I am in isolation, so it was so nice to hear of your concern for me. My name is Ron and I am 93-years-old, 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. I would like to thank you again for writing to me and hope you will be able to be out of isolation soon.”
Here’s what people on Twitter thought

The letter shared by Wayne reads:
“Dear Ali and Wayne,
Thank you for your offer of help – it is most kind of you. I am well supplied with food, (enough for a siege!) and don’t expect to need topping up for quite a long time. I am staying indoors all the time for the moment because that is what we old people have been told to do (I’m 93), and otherwise we’re only a nuisance to everyone else.
Would it be possible when/if you go shopping, to get me some milk? In normal times, I use a lot and I’ve almost run out. I don’t know what’s available in the shops now, and if milk is off the shelves now, of course I can do without.
I hope you are keeping well in these anxious times.”

When I went to get groceries yesterday, I saw a drawing of a rainbow put behind a window of house. Maybe it's not the same house but it made me smile. God bless her she's just five but she's already more generous than people older than her.
We all use to have a children’s heart, but life broke it so many times we forgot how to be kind. If we all could have a child’s heart, we would change the world.
For those questioning the ability of a 5 year old to write this letter, I politely disagree. I have a 5 year old and she writes almost exactly like this. Many preschoolers learn handwriting skills in their 4 year old class. In fact our littlest has better handwriting than her older siblings. The parents probably helped her spell the words. As for the article... it was so sweet! I’m glad neighbors of all ages are coming together to support each other. ❤️
My former boss has twin boys that she home schooled. Both of them were reading and writing at a fourth grade level before they were five. They are now nine..have mastered chess to the point where they are beating people online that are in their 20's, and are spending most of this lockdown reading novels and doing science research projects. All it takes is time and dedicated parenting.

This should have many more upvote, I'm still trying to swallow the lump in my throat and hold the tears in so that I don't upset the dog.. 👩🎤🐕🙏😢🌹💜
For those questioning whether or not at 5 year old is capable of printing so well, I totally believe it. I live in North America now, but my kids were born in the UK and the education system there is no joke! Preschool is funded, so most kids go to preschool where the learning begins. The expectations for kids is very high and they go hard-core teaching from day 1. Homework for 4 year olds! My son, who couldn't read when he started school in September could read books before his 5th birthday in May. He could write sentences before the end of the school year. In Year 1 (which is the 2nd year of school, 5 year olds), he could read a book and write a couple of sentences about it. By Christmas, he could write a letter to his Grandmother in Canada. This little girl is so sweet and I'm so glad she was able to bring some joy during such a difficult time.
My middle son spelled Australia correctly when he was in kindergarten. He could and did read simple books easily. Just be you have a hard time spelling your own name, don't project your own inadequacies onto some 5 year old. I wouldn't doubt her parents helped, but why do you have to be such a tool and try to s**t on a wonderful story?
