Doorbell Cam Captures Toddler Hugging Pizza Delivery Man Who Unexpectedly Lost His Own Daughter
West Warwick, Rhode Island. Lindsey Sheely is a mom living in Rhode Island who ordered pizza for her family one Saturday night.
She never expected such a normal weekend activity to have such an impact.
A man named Ryan Catterson delivered the pizza to their door, and as he went to leave, Lindsey’s 2-year-old son Cohen went running after him.
Ryan stopped at the end of their porch as Cohen reached up to give him a big hug.
It turns out, Ryan unexpectedly lost his 16-year-old daughter, and Cohen’s hug meant the world to him.
Lindsey shared the touching video captured by her doorbell camera on Facebook, along with this:
“Last night when we got our pizza (and ranch) delivered, Cohen ran out to hug the delivery guy and tried to give him a kiss, too!”
“We thought it was so sweet and funny, then realized that our doorbell might have caught the interaction on camera, and it did!!”

“Even better, is that I posted this to my IG stories last night and somehow, it found it’s way to the man who delivered our pizza!”
“Thank you, Ryan, for being so sweet with our little guy!”
Lindsey then added that she was able to connect with Ryan after someone showed him the video that she had shared on social media, and he reached out to her.
Ryan then told Lindsey that he lost his daughter not long before he met Cohen, and that hug really just meant the world to him.
“I believe in divine appointments and know that Ryan was the one to deliver our pizza for a reason,” Lindsey explained.
