Dan was browsing the aisles of a supermarket recently when a four-year-old girl he did not know suddenly spoke to him. "Hi, old person," she said, "It's my birthday today!" The child's name was Norah. Why did she speak to Dan? According to her mom, Norah is a self-proclaimed lover of old folks, for several reasons. "They walk slow like I walk slow, and they have soft skin like I have soft skin. They're all gonna' die soon, so I'm gonna' love 'em all before they die," says Norah.

After chatting a while, Norah asked Dan if they could take a picture together for her birthday. He was surprised, but agreeable. When Norah and her mom thanked Dan for taking time to talk with them, he said "No, thank YOU. This is the best day I've had in a long time." He and Norah have visited often since then, and whether he likes it or not, he's now part of the Woods family. He later admitted he had not slept normally since his wife died, but after meeting Norah, he's been sleeping very well. He believes she may have healed him through her love.
