A Washington state boy and the man who picks up the garbage on his block have formed an unexpected friendship. One is just learning to walk. The other has been working for decades, but they share something in common: cancer.

On most blocks, garbage day is just another chore, but at two-year-old Isaac Williams' suburban Seattle home, Wednesday mornings are not to be missed.

“He goes to the window, he waves, he wants to come outside. We love garbage trucks,” said Kelli Williams, Isaac’s mom.
