Lilly, who has special needs, joined her mother at the local Giant Food store recently to get some grocery shopping done. Lilly rarely interacts with strangers while she's out, but something about the kindness of cashier Isaac Whitte struck a chord with the little girl. While Lilly and her mother were checking out, Whitte noticed that Lilly couldn't keep her eyes off the way he was bagging items. Whitte asked Lilly if she wanted to help. She enthusiastically took the job and carefully bagged each item one by one.The most touching part of the video comes when Lilly blurts out to Whitte, "I just love you."

0 Have your say With a year of global political turmoil behind us, it is not easy to look ahead and hope for anything much more upbeat in world news during the coming 12 months. Citizens of many countries across the globe are set to take to the polls to elect – or re-elect – a government or president.

World’s worst face tattoos will make you glad you never got inked above the neckline
TAT-ASTROPHIC body art around the globe reveals some unique designs, with people sporting everything from paw prints to creepy spiders - engraved on their face.
