An Amazon delivery woman says a little prayer
then crosses herself before heading back to her van.
The kind gesture was recorded
on homeowner Raquel and Derek Pearson's doorbell cam
in Idaho.
And when I noticed she was praying,
I was really taken aback and I choked up.
Their eight-month-old son, Lucas,
has a congenital heart defect
making him high-risk for COVID-19.
They're doing everything to minimize his risk,
including ordering online all the special supplies he needs.
To thank their delivery drivers,
they posted this note on their door.
"We have an infant with medical needs
"and online deliveries are essential to his health.
"You are helping keep our son alive and well."
Monica Salinas was delivering an Amazon package
when she saw the message.
That's the kinda stuff that makes my heart cry
and I felt the need to pray.
What did the note say that touched you?
The food that we are delivering
saves this baby everyday.
So what was Monica praying for
underneath the mask?
God, Heavenly Father, please protect this family.
Help them get through another day.
Please don't let them go without
and Baby just grow up to be strong.
And then I just said, "Amen,"
and I blessed myself and got on my way.
It's just emotional to see somebody, a stranger,
take the time out of their day
and send positive energy our way.
Monica, who's also a musician,
had one more surprise for the Pearsons,
in the form of a song for Baby Lucas.
