4-Year-Old Boy’s Love Letter To Girl He Has Crush On Will Melt Your Heart


A 4-year-old boy’s love letter to a girl he’s known two years is touching, and has gone viral because of its sincerity and honesty. Young Bennet Skinner of Portland, Oregon, felt compelled to write out his feelings for a girl he goes to school with named Baily. In the sweet note, he compares to her a “ladybug” or a “horse,” which in his eyes are quite beautiful creatures.

Buzzfeed first reported on the letter after it was posted on Reddit last week. The little boy, who’s had cancer since he was 6-months-old, got the idea of writing a note to a girl he’s fond of after he saw his mother, Jennifer Skinner, writing an email to a friend. When Bennet’s mother asked who he’d like to write a letter to, he said, “Baily, of course.” She sat down and typed the letter for Baily that Bennet dictated word-for-word, according to the report.

The 4-year-old boy’s love letter to his crush is heartfelt and innocent. It’s seen below.

Baily,

Will you please come to my house? Let’s play together. I think you are pretty like a horse or a ladybug. I’m not sure which. You should come to my house and eat cheeses with me. I love you and I lost a tooth last night. I think I would like to do a magic trick for you and then let you watch me battle robots.

Love,

Bennet

Bennet’s mom adds that he’s always talking about Baily and her “yellow hair.” He’s excited about his upcoming fifth birthday party that will have a knights and princesses theme. Baily will attend as a princess and that’s making Bennet ecstatic, Jennifer says.

Jennifer shares that her son enjoys different things. He’s also the first student to lose a tooth in his class.

“He loves ‘cheeses,’ battling a box robot I made him, and he did just lose a tooth and since he was the first in his class to do so, what little girl wouldn’t be impressed?”

The 4-year-old’s mother says Baily is a little awkward, and she’s not sure what to think of Bennet. Jennifer thinks her son “overwhelms” her a bit.

Bennet’s mother admits the letter going viral is a great distraction from the cancer treatments he’s received. He goes in for one last oncology appointment soon. Jennifer says her 4-year-old boy’s love letter to the girl he has a crush on is well-received because it’s so honest.
