Lonely Cop Helps Little Girl Decorate Her House, Learns Her Mom Is His Lost Love – Story of the Day

29-year-old Chuck had few friends, no family, and worked even during holidays. He was a cop, and one Christmas, while patrolling the neighborhood, he crossed paths with a little girl, unaware she’d reunite him with his first love…

It was a wintry day during the Christmas season. While the entire city was rushing home to spend time with their loved ones, Chuck was driving his patrol car around the neighborhood under his supervision.

Chuck was too young to be a workaholic of that sort, but the young man didn’t have any family, so he worked even during holidays. Chuck had dated a few women in the past, but nobody seemed like “THE ONE” to him, so he was single.

That day, while patrolling the neighborhood, Chuck saw a little girl struggling to decorate the huge Christmas tree on her front porch. He smiled as he saw the little human struggling with the decorations and decided to help her…

“Hello there, wonder woman, may I help you?” he asked as he parked his car outside her house and got down. “I’m a cop, and it’s my duty to help and serve people!”

“But I’m a big girl, Mr. cop!” said the girl, Alice. “You may not know it, but I help Mommy with breakfast every morning!”

“Oh my god!” gasped Chuck. “Do you? Do you really cook? I burn the toast every time!”

She laughed. “You’re so silly! Now, don’t disturb me. I have to get the tree decorated before Mommy comes home! It’s a surprise!”

“Well,” Chuck said. “How about I help you? Do you have someone else at home to help you?”

Alice shook her head. “Mommy and I live alone. Mrs. Green next door looks after me when Mommy’s not home, but she’s busy with guests, so Mommy told me to stay home and not open my door to strangers! You are a stranger, but… you’re a cop! Cops help everyone, and you can help me!”

Chuck laughed. “You’re so small, but you know so much! You’re clever, miss smarty pants!”

“Alice!” she said. “Please call me Alice!”

“Hi, Alice! I’m Chuck! So shall we get the tree ready soon?” he asked.

Chuck had never met someone like Alice. She was not even half as tall as the Christmas tree she was decorating, and she wouldn’t stop talking! A chatterbox she is, he thought and laughed while they decorated the tree together and put lights all around the house.

Chuck felt good being kind to the little girl, but more than that, he loved the experience of making Christmas preparations with someone. He had never decorated a house before for Christmas.

“So, what time does your mommy come home, Alice?” Chuck asked as they finished decorating the tree. “Here, give me the star, and I’ll put it.”
