A little girl got to meet her favourite binman and it was absolutely precious

THEY SAY YOU should never meet your heroes, but we think this little girl might disagree.
Brooklyn Andracke, a three-year-old from Bloomington, Illinois, worships her local binman. So much so that Thursday is her favourite day of the week.
In a note written to the City of Bloomington Facebook page, her mother said that Brooklyn waves from the window at the binman every Thursday without fail and he in turn beeps his horn at her.
And a few weeks ago, Brooklyn finally got to meet her hero.
One morning, Brooklyn and her mother stood on the street corner with a leftover cupcake from her birthday, and called on the binman to stop and come over.

“Brooklyn was instantly speechless as she handed him the cupcake. I explained to him that he makes our day every Thursday, and we really appreciate the honking and waving, and how special of a day it is for us,” she wrote.

And it only got better from there.
Look at her little face!
D’aw.

The story has since been liked over 18,000 times on Facebook while the binman has since been identified as Delvar Deshawn Dopson.
And the story doesn’t end there — last week, Dopson surprised little Brooklyn with loads of Frozen goodies.
Take a bow, Delvar.
