First Bike and Some Books
Reddit user ReadontheCrapper might not have gotten the chance to ride their own bike or read some amazing book titles had it not been for their beloved garbage collector who scoured the trash to find some interesting goodies for them.
“Grew up a small town so everyone knew everyone. Our garbage man (Lee) would regularly cull out items for us because he knew my dad would tinker on them. Lee gave me my first bike, which only needed to be painted, and so so many books.
He passed a few years ago. When I saw the notice I called up my sister and we had a bit of a nostalgic cry about what a nice man he was to us kids.”
