Any parent with a shy child knows how difficult it can be for them to talk to an adult, even their own aunts and uncles, which is why one mom was stunned when her painfully shy three-year-old asked if he could hug a complete stranger.
While eating a meal with his mom at McDonald’s, three-year-old Tyler Hubbard spotted a police officer parking his motorcycle outside and told his mom, Jamie Hubbard, he wanted a ride. When Fort Worth Police Officer Anthony Colter walked in to wait out a rain storm, Jamie told him what her son had said.
“I don’t think my boss would appreciate me taking you out,” Colter told the child. Even though he couldn’t take him on a motorcycle ride, Tyler was still awe-struck by the officer and a few minutes later, got up from his seat and timidly walked over to Colter’s table. “He wants to give you a hug,” Jamie told the officer as she filmed the sweet moment.
Seconds later, Tyler summoned enough courage and threw his arms around the officer’s neck and gave him a big bear hug before walking back to his mom. “It meant the world,” Colter said. “I was humbled and honored because we see a lot of bad stuff. But to see him so sincere, such a kind, thoughtful gesture — it made a wonderful day.”
“It was sweet,” Jamie said. “It was so fast, but it was so big for him because he’s a shy little kid.”
