Sometimes all the medicine you need is a hug from a good friend. When 3-year-old Makai Simmons got back to his pre-school after a traumatic week in the Bahamas and weathering Hurricane Dorian, his friends were more than happy to greet him with open arms.
Makai's mom, Tekara Capron, says her son was a mess following the hurricane. "He thought Dorian was a monster," she tells Today.com.
So, when Simmons returned to school a Learning City Academy in Pembroke Pines, Florida, his classmates were thrilled to see him, and knew just how to make him feel better. The video has been seen over 20,000 times.
My heart. Today was my son's first day back to school in the USA after experiencing Hurricane Dorian in Freeport. The love he received from his friends as soon as he walked into class was so touching. *For licensing/commercial usage, please contact licensing@rumble.com*

And as it turns out Makai deserves a little extra love for his open heart and bravery. His mother writes in one Instagram post that following the storm, her son put on his life vest, and offered to "go save the children in the water."
