Worker Who Lost His Two Daughters Stops To Sing For Two Girls On Their Graduation Day

Bruce Johnson, a sanitation worker who lost his two daughters made graduation day a little special during lockdown for these two girls.

While most of the world is on lockdown, people have been trying to spread positivity as best as they can, despite the limitations of our daily lives. Incredible gestures of kindness and appreciation have been witnessed all around the world.

Extraordinary gestures have been trumped by the mundane, but no less significant, acts of many everyday heroes and good samaritans. For example, who could forget the state trooper who gifted N95 protective masks to a doctor instead of giving her a speeding ticket?


And in a time where people are losing loved ones or struggling with illness, we can easily forget to celebrate happy moments, like graduating. But Bruce Johnson, a sanitation truck worker did not pass an opportunity to make two girls feel special on their graduation day.
