Acts Of Kindness: 2 Little Boys Meet At LI Beach, Forge Friendship
Patch is introducing a new feature focusing on the little acts of kindness that make life extraordinary.
WADING RIVER, NY — Sometimes, it's the little things.
Recently, a message on social media served as a sweet reminder that summer time is magical, especially if you're a little kid at the beach.
A local Wading River mother, Jennifer Rocca, wrote a message on a Facebook page: "I don't know if the mom is on this page," she said. Rocca explained that her son Landon, 9, had played with a little boy, Hudson, at the Wading River Beach on July 4.

"i believe he was 3 years old, based on his adorable Spiderman T-shirt," she wrote. "I just wanted to let you know, Landon hasn't stopped talking about him. Landon wishes he had a little brother. (Sorry, kid, that ship has sailed)," she laughed.
She added: "I just wanted to let you know he had such a great time with your sweet boy. Landon just about melted when Hudson would grab his hand and say, 'Come on, friend.'"
