Toddler Says Goodbye To His BFF, the Garbageman [Video]

Everyone looks forward to Friday because it's the start of the weekend, but two-year-old Deacon Ross of Dallas has a different reason to look forward to it. Friday is garbage collection day, and that means a visit from Deacon's friend.

The adorable toddler struck up a friendship with trash collector Oladele Olurunrinu, better known as O'Dee, and gets excited for him to come by each week. But Deacon's family is moving into a new house that's not on O'Dee's route, and that means Deacon had to say goodbye to his BFF. That sweet farewell came last Friday, and it brought Deacon's mom to tears. She says, "I think this is Deacon's first friend (where) he really understands what friendship is." So when O'Dee arrived, Deacon and his mom greeted him with a gift basket of chocolate chip cookies and the two friends hugged goodbye. O'Dee said he's going to miss Deacon too.

The reason Deacon's family is moving is because they have another child on the way and need a bigger house. Deacon already asked his mom to name the baby O'Dee.
