The ADORABLE Reason A Little Girl Gave A Police Officer Her Elmo

I think it’s so sad that our society is turning against those who swear to serve and protect us.

Hating cops has become a “trendy” thing.

You know. Because they’re all racists, or whatnot.

It’s complete and utter CRAP… but it’s the narrative.

Which is why I LOVE sharing stories like these with you all.

A little girl gave a police officer her Elmo doll… and the reason why is legitimately heart-melting.

According to this:

Gabby Yesis, three, of Blasdell, New York, was setting up for the village garage sale last week with her mother, Eileen ORourk Yesis, 36, when Gabby saw a police officer and decided she wanted to give him her stuffed Elmo.

Eileen told Love What Matters: ‘While setting up for the village garage sale on Saturday (June 9), I set out a stuffed Elmo doll among the items to sell. As I continued to get things ready, Gabby, stood on the grass yelling, “Yard sale, yard sale!” She was very frustrated that people did not immediately show up to buy our items.’

Gabby is a little hustler. I LOVE it.

‘I noticed a Blasdell police officer a few houses down and told her maybe the policeman will stop and see us. Gabby looked up at me and said, “I am going to give him my Elmo.” I asked her why and she explained, “The policeman works all alone. He needs a friend.'”

CAN YOU EVEN?

Eileen told Gabby that she could give the officer her stuffed Elmo if she wanted to so the pair waited on the sidewalk but unfortunately, he drove by.

Her mother said that was all she talked about for the rest of the day and when she tried to put her to bed, she told Eileen she was sad the policeman was still all alone. So the two decided to watch for the him the next day but once again, they didn’t see him.

‘We did not see the Blasdell police officer on Sunday,’ Eileen said. ‘So again, when I put her to bed Sunday night, she insisted Elmo had to go to the police officer. I told her we would look for him Monday after school. So Monday, we took Elmo, a red line flag for the fire company, and a blue line flag for the police department and we went driving.’

Gabby and her mom gave the red line flag to the fire department who let her sit in the fire truck and gave her some treats.

But the real treat came when Gabby and her mom found the police officer and Gabby was able to finally give him her stuffed Elmo.

We found the police officer and asked if we could have a moment of his time,’ Eileen said. ‘Gabby looked at him and raised her arms to give him the Elmo and said, “I want you to have my Elmo so you don’t work alone.”‘

HOOORAAYYYYYY

Her mother added that the officer was surprised by the kind gesture and asked Gabby multiple times if she was sure she wanted him to have her stuffed Elmo.

Gabby, of course, was sure about her sweet and thoughtful gift, which also included the blue line flag, and to thank her, the police officer gave her a high-five.

My favorite part is the police officer’s response!

The Blasdell police posted on its Facebook page to thank Gabby. The post said: ‘Blasdell Police and Fire Departments thank Gabby, a three-year-old village resident who gave the thin blue and red line flags and Elmo to the departments. We thank Gabby and her family for the support and nice gesture.’

A police officer also came to Gabby’s house on Tuesday to personally thank her for the stuffed Elmo doll, who took a cruise with a police officer to the local Tim Hortons, but the only person that was home was Eileen’s teenage daughter

OBVIOUSLY, Elmo enjoyed the donut run:

But on June 13, Eileen received a call from the police department asking if Gabby would be offended if they returned Elmo who was now infull police uniform and had a certificate from police training.

OMG YOU GUYS I LOVE THIS SO HARD!!!!

So, later that evening, the officer that Gabby gave Elmo to came to her house with the Mayor of Blasdell, Rob Hefner, and both of them thanked Gabby for being so kind to the police department.

‘They gave her Officer Elmo, the certificate, and some balloons,’ her mother said. ‘She was so excited. They stayed and visited for quite a while, posing for pictures, and watching her play in the yard.’

‘The officer explained to my husband, Mike, and I that he was so thankful to be the one that Gabby gave the Elmo to and after we left, he immediately started to reach out to other people in the department letting them know what she did.’

And Eileen posted a sweet message on Facebook to thank the officers who took time out of their days to bring Gabby back her Elmo.

‘A huge thank you on behalf of our family to the Blasdell Police Department and the Mayor of Blasdell for taking time out of their evening tonight to bring Gabby back the Elmo she gifted them,’ she wrote on Facebook.

‘Elmo has completed Police Academy and is now in full uniform! The Officer explained Elmo wanted to come home to keep Gabby safe and watch over her. Thank you Officers for all you do. Stay safe.’

Officer Elmo is now back in Gabby’s room on her book shelf. After the encounter with the officers, Gabby has said she wants to be a police officer when she’s older.

LOVE LOVE LOVE!
