It's the 3rd year in a row; parents of Daniel Nicastro would send out invitations to his classmates for his birthday party. Yet, they were already ready for the outcome because as usual nobody RSVP'd
This is a touching story from Today. Daniel Nicastro is a boy with autism. Social interaction is usually hard for kids like him, although in reality kids on the autism spectrum, want to be around people that they can call friends.
What his parents did in order to compensate for the loss of RSVP is they hand delivered an invitation to their local police department in North Port, Florida as Daniel consideres them be his super heroes.
They explained to them that the family is planning on a birthday bash for Daniel as he is turning 8 soon and that it would be such a great surprise if they could should the invited classmates will not come.
To Daniel's surprise, they sure did! More than half a dozen cars lined up in the Nicastro drive way and the police officers went to attend the birthday. After Daniel was able to warm up, he greeted everyone. He didn't even notice that his classmates weren't even there anymore.
Seven officers gave him a gifts. There were loose leafs and hard bound Marvel comics and a Marvel Avenger wristwatch. Daniel's face lit up, he's never been so happy.
According to Daniel's mom, they weren't really expecting anything. She added that she would already have been thankful of one or two officers would show up. This was one big surprise that no words could express on how grateful she was for all those police officers that showed up for Daniel's party.
As for Sgt. Paul Neugebauer, he and the other officers just wanted to simply stop by to make Daniel's birthday. To them it wasn't such a big deal, but to the boy it made his birthday extra special.
