A boy celebrating his seventh birthday was given a wholesome surprise, as he walked down the street to discover his neighbors had written well-wishes all down the sidewalk. Step by step, a stunned Jayden Kim came across birthday message after birthday message, initially meeting the first note with confusion, then skepticism, then delight. The idea was thought up by Jayden's mom Eunice and his dad, Samuel, who live in Cerritos, California. It was during the early stages of the pandemic, and to stop the family from having "cabin fever," Eunice and Samuel would take their kids for a walk around the block. With Jayden's birthday coming up, Eunice knew how heartbroken he was that he couldn't spend it with his friends. And so, on one of their daily walks, Eunice dropped of a piece of chalk and a note to each neighbor, asking if they would kindly leave a birthday message on the sidewalk on the day of his birthday.
