Grab a tissue, this is a heartwarming story.

Heather Durgin is an Uber Eats driver who recently made a delivery to the home of Tim Wilkinson in Burleson. Mr. Wilkinson asked for her help untying the knot in the handles of the bag. He has limited mobility in his hand after suffering a stroke.

Durgin was happy to help, and as she went about her day, she couldn't stop thinking about Wilkinson's situation. She decided to return with a care package that included a red blanket and hot cocoa. Her handwritten note said she hoped to make him smile.

Mr. Wilkinson was moved to tears by her kind gesture. He had no way to reach the same driver so he reached out to Lauren Przybyl from Fox 4. The Good Day anchor posted the note on her Facebook page asking if anyone knew Heather. Her brother replied.

KDFW was able to reunite the duo, and they hugged and cried tears of joy that there are still decent people in the world. Way to go, Heather.
