GWINNETT COUNTY, Ga. — One University of North Georgia student tweeted an adorable video in hopes of making everyone’s day, but she never imagined the response she’d receive.
Jessica Evans, 21, tells Channel 2’s Kimberly Richardson she was sitting in her room on Monday and started to feel sad, realizing she wouldn’t be able to meet her brother at the bus stop anymore.
Her brother, David, 15, just started high school at Brookwood High School.

“I started looking at videos from the past year from when I surprised him by coming home or getting him off the bus or picking him up from school,” Evans said.
Feeling bummed, that’s when Evans says she decided to put all of them together and tweet it out, explaining that all of her friends from home and from college love seeing pictures and videos of her little brother.
