Toddler hugs pizza delivery driver, unknowingly comforts man who recently lost his teenage daughter

When you order food and see the delivery driver pull up in front of your home, you’d be lying to yourself if you said you didn’t want to hug the delivery driver. Well, maybe sometimes.

That’s what one two-year-old did when he greeted a pizza delivery driver with a hug. Little did the toddler know that the hug would have such an impact on the driver.

Recently, Lindsey Sheely and her family ordered a pizza for delivery and when the pizza came her two-year-old ran up to give the driver, Ryan Catterson, a big hug. The sweet moment was caught on the family’s doorbell camera.

Sheely initially shared the clip on social media, and it’s since gone viral. And what made this innocent moment even more special – Catterson had just lost his daughter and a hug was exactly what he needed.

“After losing my daughter this past week, it just touched me because it was like she was there, you know, and it just meant a ton to me,” he said.

His 16-year-old daughter, Alyssa, who lived in California with his ex-wife, reportedly struggled with mental health issues and unexpectedly died.

His ex-wife, Danielle McCord, was “grateful that someone saw his pain.”

“It’s so easy to miss people and their internal pain,” she said. “That even goes to our daughter, you know. We didn’t know her pain.”

Even though it was a fleeting moment, it is one Catterson will remember for a long time.

“That might have been her just looking out for me at the time,” he said. “Those words mean something, made me think, ‘Wow, maybe she’s there.’”

Alyssa’s family currently has a GoFundMe set up to raise money for funeral expenses.

This was such a sweet moment. I’m so glad this little boy ran up to Ryan and gave him a hug.
