Awww that's so cute! I know a couple who started going out in primary school and now they're in their 30's and married with two kids!

…that’s such a sweetheart thing to do……and you’re so right, those completely unexpected gestures/acts of kindness are something that stay with us forever if we’ve ever experienced them ourselves….…maybe one day he’ll do something similar for someone else…pay it forward, as they say….…

…the weird …(…and wonderful……)…thing…when you’ve worked at the same school for many years/decades…?……is when those past children become the parents themselves and it’s then their children that you’re working with……
