BLOOMINGTON, ILLINOIS -- She’s in daycare and he drives a garbage truck but the two have a very special bond.
Meet Brooklyn and her favorite new buddy these days, Delvar. Their friendship started out with Brooklyn waving to Delvar from the window of her home every Thursday. Then Brooklyn’s mom said she wanted to stand in the driveway to wave at Delvar. She also said, if they missed waving to him they would drive around the neighborhood to greet him from the car.
But this week, Brooklyn wanted to do something special for her birthday. Brooklyn this time wanted to speak to Delvar and give him one of her birthday cupcakes! Delvar was overjoyed and couldn’t wait to meet Brooklyn face to face.
Brooklyn’s mom posted the story to the city of Bloomington, Illinois Facebook page. Brooklyn always looks forward to Delvar honking the horn and waving to her. Delvar even talked about how much he also looks forward to seeing them together every Thursday. They used to call Delvar the 'smiley garbage man' until they found out his name!
