Her Son Suddenly Asked Her To Stop The Car. What He Did Next Left Her In Tears

February 19, 2015

Teresa Adams and her son, Tommy, were driving home from the DMV.

"Tommy said 'Mamma stop the car,'" Teresa Adams recalled. "I got scared and asked, 'What's wrong?'"

"There's an older man with a walker shoveling snow... I'll help him out," Tommy said.

The high school senior exited the car and asked the man if he could take over shoveling, an offer the man gladly accepted.

 It took Tommy 15 minutes to clear the heavy snow from the man's driveway in Nottoway County, Virginia.

"I was so proud, I started to cry," Teresa said.  

She snapped a photo of her son's act of kindness and shared it on Facebook. That photo was later shared on the WTVR CBS 6 News Facebook page.
