A kind Florida man who learned his neighbor was going to be deployed, agreed to mow the family’s yard during his absence. But to the surprise of the military man’s wife, he showed up early, allowing the doting dad precious extra time with his children.

Aliette, 41, who lives with her husband and their two daughters in central Florida, approached their neighbor, Steve, ahead of the deployment, knowing her husband was worried about the upkeep of the yard.
