This isn’t about a letter to Santa, but the results were almost the same. It seems that a boy in Pennsylvania wrote a letter to a local sheriff asking for assistance to go hunting. His letter ended up on the desk of a sheriff of a county of the same name in South Carolina. Read the fun details in this heartwarming story from Herald Online.

The little boy stood 4 feet 8 inches tall, 95 pounds if you count the brand new heavy hunting camouflage clothes. Beside him stood a man 6 feet 4 inches tall, 275 pounds. The man wore a gun and carried another. The boy wore a smile wide as his face. They stood in deep woods, about 20 miles south of Chester nowhere near anywhere Monday afternoon. The kid was 600 miles from home after his first-ever plane ride and standing with a guy who looks different and was a stranger until a few hours before.

“Big A,” said the kid named Alex Collins, pointing a finger at the big man. “I’m Little A. We’re going hunting.”

Big A, real name Alex Underwood, title Sheriff of Chester County, S.C. — not Pennsylvania, but on this day it did not matter — put his big arm around Little A.

“You got it, Little A,” said Big A.

Alex and his mom, a single parent, dropped off hand-written letters to the Chester County, Pa. sheriff three weeks ago after seeing a Facebook post talking about the sheriff hosting kids for hunting and fishing.
