What a sweet man!!! Wish there were more people like him around!!

I’m literally crying. He was so happy to see her again 😅 it’s so rare to see such genuine happiness.

Publix has always had the best customer service and this guys energy is awesome!!! 🎉❤

I love it when he said “ she is in my heart”. ❤❤❤

I wish the whole world was like this

He’s Haitian and mama is the most endearing word an adult can say in creative to a little girl or baby 🥹

We need more stories like this…

All the things we have in common kindness is a part of that... I freaking love it.

My grandpa used to work at a Target forever and as he got older he couldn't do as much and he was ready to retire. But they convinced him to just be there and be the greeter because he was that beloved

Kudos to the parents for raising this child love unconditionally. That little girl doesn't see Gilbert as anything but the nice gentleman at the grocery store that's her high five friend. Think she'll be an awesome adult like her parents when she grows up.

This is very heartwarming and I hope that young girl never loses that loving spirit.

That was awesome! We need more of this in our world. Love, respect, kindness and friendship..😊

What a beautiful connection between a child and an adult from different backgrounds. He is sincere when he said Fiona is his heart, simply because ♥️👍🏾

I love this ❤! I used to be an angry person now as I've gotten older I've gotten emotional every time I see kindness!! It's easy to do and it goes a VERY LONG WAYS I PROMISE

Hate, indifference, apathy, and intolerance is TAUGHT and LEARNED. It is not innate. 🦋

The way she looks at her friend. She just loves him so much. Bless your hearts. And I mean that in the best Southern Way!

Well, I didn't expect to cry, but here I am trying to explain to my confused boyfriend about these two beautiful souls that met at Publix. When he asked, "Do you remember me?" and she most assuredly did ...I lost it. We need more Mr. High Five's and Fiona's in this world.

His energy is gift, bless him. ❤

With our country in such chaos, it's so refreshing to know there is human kindness to be found in America.

His genuine friendliness is something to celebrate, if only more people became like him " world would be sunny everyday"

Oh my tickly, warmy, fuzzy, love beams!!! How sweet. My god we need more of that in this big, sorry...yet amazing world.

A very nice story that needs to be replayed more that anything else

Amazing.. This man is adorable ❤

I love this story! We truly DO have more in common if we allow love to lead the way.

That is so adorable! If everyone would treat each other like that, this world would be a better place. Love, Family & Friends are priceless.❣️

Publix has always had amazing employees. I know several who watched my kids grow up and were always so excited to see them. I miss Publix after moving.

Fiiiioooooonnnnnaaa!!!!! His heart is glad 😀

its crazy we have garbage celebrity stories, or just celebrities in general. like wtf this is crazy beautiful. THE LOVE. ugh man.. as a nanny i love kids with all my heart and its just beautoful to see how love effects everyone

Sweet little girl and a very kind fellow 💕 helping a little girl and her family find a high 5 friend. This is wonderful.

That's compassion, love and caring! Love to see how love and compassion in young today!

Such a good hearted man ain't no race involved just a good hearted man being a wonderful person. God bless him!!!

I love these kinds of stories of kindness in humanity 😊😊😊 Gilnet is amazing & Fiona is amazing & her parents are amazing for allowing her that social interaction & teaching her how to be an outgoing, open-minded young lady. This interaction with Mr. high-five will indeed shape her perspective on how she relates to others in her future. I'm so happy for all of them. Little things like this can and will affect the world 🌎 ❤🙏🏾

I have that spirit too.. just run out of the blue and hug me I thank God for giving me wisdom and understanding people don't care about anything but themselves but kids are different..

Congrats to this young lady parents❤

He’s amazing ❤ Publix hires the best people I swear

We can all learn a lesson from this story. Live, love, laugh and be kind.❤

Love stories like this

Wicked nice person to do this for this little girl. Such an awesome story more people need to be like this.

aww this is so sweet

One thing my mum always told me during my teen years, LOVE WINS. It takes too much energy to brew hate in your heart but Love is so EASY to Carry. We need more of this typa News

I have that energy. Some kids use to just walk away from the mom and dad to hug me. ❤❤❤❤ they can see energy I guess.

She is so happy like she met an old friend.

We will never have to worry about her being racist! This is what life is about!

This is how the world should be ....KINDNESS TO EACH OTHER ❤

He's that type of person that lights things up whenever he walks into.

I love these stories. I recently bumped into this girl at this pharmacy in my neighborhood and asked her about this other girl, a coworker and best friend of hers whom I haven't seen for a while. Her response didn't just made my day, it made my year. She says: "I got a message from your daughter; you're gonna be a grandpa". Turns out that girl, who is someone that stole my heart since the first day I met her and that I love dearly and consider my daughter, recently found out she's pregnant with her second child. To anybody else looking from the outside in she's a pharmacy employee and I just another one of her customers but to me she's my daughter and that’s why I felt so happy and fortunate when I got that message from her best friend.

Wow unconditional love !!

Beautiful Family and that man is a gentleman‼️ God Bless all of them 🙏🏼

Me and you are ones to change bad to good or good to bad. Every child is born innocent angel like until adults starts to put toxic to there system. May God grant us the opportunity to grab love and support each other as human not otherwise

Wow so lovely from high fives to great big hugs. A friendship that will never end

I love ppl like him.. One act of random kindness, can change the day and life for ppl...

What a heartfelt story ❤ why can't our world be like this with everyone

What a Wonderful man ..

This man is so freaking awesome! God bless you, Mr. High Five, you rock!

See how innocent children are, they do not see color.❤❤

The BEAUTIFUL feelings in your heart when you have BEAUTIFUL SPIRITS in your life! BLESSED!🤗💝🤗🤲🏽🤲🏾🤲🏽🫶🏾🫶🏽🫶🏾🙌🏾🙌🏽🙌🏾👏🏽👏🏾👏🏽🇯🇲🇬🇧🇯🇲

Wow black brother here that smile on the little girl is something else god bless her and this man

Priceless!!!, what a wonderful friendship, there would be many, many, more friendships like this if it was allowed to happen, adults did not interfere.

What a beautiful relationship of love and kindness to the max ❤

More people like the both of these sweethearts

Beautiful!

Absolutely amazing beautiful and heartwarming story

Aww..man! Who's cutting up onions?? I'm crying!❤❤

So beautiful God bless them both🙏🏾

Heartwarming Story. Still many great people who care for others no matter the Race. God Bless this man & young girl.

What’s unlikely about it? Two human beings forming a normal friendship and it’s considered “unlikely”??

Such a sweet man 🎉🎉

This is amazing

She has very good parents. A few parents would have stopped her already. Kids know who has a good heart. I have as a black man this experience almost every time I walk into the grocery store little, mostly white girls would rush towards me to the almost bewilderment of their moms. I have absolutely no clue what they see in me that draws them to me.

Gives me chills so precious

Kindness is everything !!

We need this so much right now especially.

Humans are not born with hate or thinking they are superior because of the color of skin/religion. We learn what our parents teach us. It warms my heart to see how a child interacts with others. Her parents are doing a wonderful job.

Love, kindness ❤

He is a wonderful person❤

Beautiful friendship I love so much we all need too love one's another.

This is how it should be in this world!!! So sweet❤

I love seeing these two reunited

Beautiful story!

Thank you for this😊

It warms your heart

That’s so sweet 🥰

Humanity at its very best ❤✌🏼

Beautiful story ❤

I smile sooo much watching this 😊beautiful story

I love this so much!! ❤

Just beautiful 🥲🙏🏽🤍

What a heartwarming story!

This is how is should have started 400 years ago. They living amongst us and being friends even though we are different. But it started with colour coding and slavery and atrocities and is deeply rooted today. Good for those parents who don't teach their children colour but see people for who we are. And find a common ground. I grew up never knowing colour but that different hair means different race. I never knew Caucasians was better than me or Indian was the middle colour and black was at the bottom. I had to travel to see how different the world is and how black skin is treated differently. Well for me, I still do good to those who hates me. At the end of the day I am worthy in God's eyes so no colour cannot stand up to me. Nice child and nice man hope the continue on their journey.

Why I smile in front of my screen lol

This made me smile because African people really have this kind of heart where it's genuine they are very kind people

great story. more like this please.

So sweet 🥰

A great story and one that we can all learn from !

They will be BFF. Of this I am sure. Oh, and family too. God bless them both. ❤🙏

Heart Warming, Heartfelt

How could you not ❤ him!

That's love Bro 💯🙏

Love this ❤

What a beautiful man!
