Neighbor Asks To Hold Baby, Then Father Takes Close Look At Photo And Reveals Truth
Far too many kids are forced to grow up with a parent.
More often than not this is something we carry with us for the rest of our life. After all, our parents are the single most influential and strong forces in forming us to the adults we finally become.
This story is an inspirational piece that show us that being a parent doesn’t have anything to do with blood.
From the time Cody was a child, he knew he wanted to be a father. With no solid father figure of his own, it looked difficult finding his way to fatherhood. Then, a man named Mr Chip stepped in.
Cody didn’t speak much about his relationship with Mr. Chip for decades until a photo of the loving man and his baby boy went viral. Then, Cody decided to speak up and share why the photo was so important.
So he took to Facebook and wrote:
So a lot of people like this picture. So I wanted to take a minute to tell the story. Milton West was my childhood next door neighbor. I knew him as Mr. Chip. He retired from DOW chemical as an operator. He has always been there for me since I was two years old. Growing up without a father was always difficult for me. But the good lord surrounded me with great men, Mr.Chip was one of them. He constantly preached the value of an education, taught me how to take care of a yard, he taught me to see people for who they are not what they look like, he taught me how to treat my mother like a saint and many other life lessons. His contributions to me becoming a good son ,man and father were huge.
I am forever grateful for God putting him in my life.
So this past May my wife and I had a little boy named Bob Wayne Shugart. When Mr. Chip and his wife Shirley saw him they fell in love with him. They babysit him sometimes and we go and visit when we can. The last time we were over there Mr. Chip said he wants to be called “POP”. He says that’s his grandson. So we had to come up with a name for his wife. We decided on Lolli!!!!
So we tell Bob Wayne we are going to see Lolli Pop!!! I’m grateful that Lolli and Pop will be apart of my sons life. If he learns half the things from Mr . Chip as I did he will become a great son, man and father.
Everyday I read something negative and how race relations are worse than ever. I disagree and I hope this is a positive loving message to many people. This is just one story in little ol Victoria , Texas. I m sure there are millions of similar stories across the United States.
Since posting it again, the image has gone viral with hundreds of thousands sharing his story - and media all over the world reporting about it.
And it’s easy to see why - please help sharing this amazing story so everyone get a chance to be moved by this wonderful family!

I just want a hug from mr. chip...
Thanking the good Lord for Pop being in your life. I am also glad that you are grateful by doing this video and letting people know you are thankful. We all need more Pops.
Thank you dear Mr. Chip! There’s a place in heaven for people like you. God bless Mrs. Chip too!
What a beautiful story. There are very few people like them on Earth, they are both Angel's from heaven sent to you.
I was beginning to give up all hope in humanity. We are ONE ☝️
Thanks for this wonderful story about love between adult human beings and children! My husband was a career Army Officer and after retirement, a career business executive. As a result, our four sons and I moved around America and Europe a lot! Fortunately, there were many wonderful people who willingly stepped up to ask if they could be “grandparents” for our boys. I believe that was the best part of traveling as we became very involved with many, many loving “grandparents” for life!
That's beautiful, it brought tears to my eyes
Beautiful story of the real meaning of family. Isn't it amazing how God sends amazing and precious people into our lives that make us realize we weren't whole/complete until they were there.Thank you for sharing this precious story💞
God Bless Ms. Lolli and Mr. Chip I love you both and we have never met. Mr. Chip, you are my hero.

i wish Pops could have been my pops..my dad died from earlier injuries of a car wreck when I was 14 months old. i had a sickly grandfatherho gave me a little attention from time to time, but I've yerned for a father my whole life and at 70 i still do at times..silly I guess, but true. I'm glad this person had his Pops though. :) Thank you for posting this story...it's touched my heart.
Nowhere Mama
I felt very sad hearing your words "I've yearned for a father my whole life". It brought tears to my eyes, and reminded me of my dad who had missed his mom, all his life. My dad passed when he was 92 years old; God bless his soul!
Here's what I say never judge a book by its cover !
Until you turn a few pages and read Amen !
God bless pop what a wonderful story it put a big smile on my face
Just when I'm about to give up on man kind, I watch stories like this. Thank you so much for sharing. So many of us need this in our daily lives.

It seems there are 2 wonderful families in this video. Mr. Chip was a God send for a little boy. Boy grows up to be a good man who starts his own family. Then they come up with the best names for their friends. LolliPop is a fun name and I'll bet a fun couple. So great that Pop will be in your son's life.
What a lovely moving story. I hope Lolli and pop have many happy hours with you and your family. I am blessed to have four grand children and two 'adopted' family ones who live in Canada. Lol from the UK. Xx
What a wonderful story. More ppl should be like Mr.Chip and his willingness to take that young boy and teach him life's lessons. It doesn't matter what color they are. Love is Love is Love. LOLI Pop...That's so great
Love conquer all brother. Chip is a grandfather to your child or future children.
Haha my mom and dad are Loli & Pop too, so cute and the story brought me to tears.
Beautiful story with beautiful people.
Beautiful story, we are all God's children and should be treated the same everywhere. I just love this story, even if a robot told us.
Michele Travis hahaha I know right. I loathe the robot voice but love this story. ❤️🌈
There is no god. Grow up, and think for yourself.
hixy65 it's fine if you don't believe in God. However, you need to step back, and step down off your high horse and respect other people's beliefs.
I don't need to do anything. People with imaginary beliefs are idiots. Plus, they are exerting influence on governments throughout the world, to the detriment of all humanity!
hixy65
That is your belief, and it has nothing to do with the rest of us who do believe in our Creator. What influences are you and other atheists exerting? Actually, no one here seems to care. Try returning that same favor! People are free in this country to believe what they want and practice their spiritual beliefs or not! It's as simple as that. People are attempting to come together to enjoy an inspiring story at a time when all we hear and see is negativity about race in this country and here you are attempting to drown it out because others don't share your ideology! Actually you sound miserable. But we will all continue to enjoy this positive story and you can be miserable alone!
What a wonderful story!
My heart is full of love for you and your family. Good luck to you all.
never been to Texas,would like to someday,texans are cool,tough people,served in the marine corps with a few texans,so down to earth,love always will concur hate
Great story u r truly blessed and your child is top wish u and yours all the best God bless
How could you "dislike" this video!?!
Beautiful story. Lost my mama at a young age..daddy cared but was working all the time. Too bad I didn't know Lolli Pop too!
This is the way we are suppose to treat everyone. Because we don’t know when we might need a glass of water from someone.
Beautiful!!!!!
Thank you for sharing this. I never have understood the abject Hatred some people have for different races. If one person does something truly heinous to you, blame that person, not the whole race. I didn't realize I was brought up to not see color until my farther asked me if I made any new friends in the new school I was going to(age 6). I was So excited about it and told him yes, her name was Patty! He asked if she was black or white. I couldn't tell him. He was actually shocked. Mom said she was proud. It's those types of things that make it either hard or easy to love all people. I've been blessed and only had few encounters with outright racism. It's So ugly and just so people know it is taught, just like hatred and fear. We are not born knowing how to do that.. People put that poison in ther children. Just think what a wonderful world we would have without it.
I fully agree with you.
Verdell Shannon-Murray
So true!
This is a great way for children to have a grandparent, when the natural grandparents aren’t able to be close to them. My “adopted “ grandchildren just moved moved away
recently, so I plan to find some more. Love is colorblind! I like the nicknames you chose. Enjoy this precious angel the Lord has given you to love. He is very blessed and you will be also.
There is no god. Grow up, and think for yourself.
hixy65 - Oh just stop already.
Beautiful message. Refreshing to hear something so positive. Need more stories like this. We are all the same black and white.
Yes it is a beautiful lil message thanks for sharing .God Bless all of you'll .
Beautiful story!
What a great story! I would love to see more stories like this. We all need to learn that people are just people. It matters not what the color of their skin, we are all people and most of us are good.
This is too true about our society nowadays but people like this lift my heart.
Oh my goodness, how sweet !
In the seventies I had a great relationship with 2 vip and they are still in my heart.none of it had to do with race only love.I continue on this way today come what may.
Tears. Beautiful story.
God Bless All of them! What a beautiful family. You don't need Blood to make true love...
Such a precious picture and even more precious story. Had me crying happy tears. I always say it's a man is a father by choice not by sperm donation . these men are blessed to have each other. ❤❤❤
Awww, what a beautiful and inspiring story. Thanks for sharing
Beautiful story xx
Again, thank you for this great story of a special relationship !!
Great story.
Lolli- Pop, this whole video is so sweet.
This is an awesome story!!! Blood doesn't make a mother, father, grandparent or sibling. Ask any adopted child.
It's what you do to raise a child. I come from a blended family where I have 3 Dad's & 2 mothers.
My parents split when I was 1yr old but I saw my Father every weekend & he is my bff. My mother re-married on my 2nd birthday and David became my Dad and helped raise me. Unfortunately I He died right b4 their 10th anniv (and my 12 bday.) Today 35yrs later David's death is still hard at times because I love & miss him so. For me there is no difference between my Father and my Dad. I love them equally When I was young I always dreamed of my Father (Robert) and Dad (David) walking me down the aisle, to give me away at my wedding. Yes both ~ one on each arm. Just one problem with that, David was deceased. After David's death My mom found love again & married when I was a senior in High School. Bill became a parent and great friend. Jump ahead to my engagement and the planning of my wedding. I was very sad one of my biggest dreams would not come true. It was my mother who made the following suggestion and I was embarrassed I hadn't thought of it first. She said I could still have my Father and my "other" dad, William, walk me down the aisle. I was so happy I did that. All 4 of my parents answered when the Pastor asked "who gives this woman away..."
My Father too remarried and I love my "step" mother. I have 8 siblings because of the situation and happy to have every single one of them. I even have a lil brother 13yrs younger than me but was born on my birthday. I call him my twin. No one is "step" or "half," just a parent, brother or sister. This story of Mr. Chip warms my heart.j

Hi edagdwg thanks for sharing this story of what happens when you get a gift from God no matter the skin color love is for everyone no matter who they are 🙏 changes everything and people linda j peace ❤️💯🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🐻🐻🐻🐻🐻
When I was quite young back in Texas, my daddy had to undergo spinal surgery & back then in the late1940's that meant a body cast. My mother had to go to work & there was a young black woman working for my grandmother name Palina & she came to work for my parents to take care of the four of us children. She was firm & loving & taught me so many things about life & what was & was not important. We had been told by mother that if she had to spank us for disobeying, then we would be punished again when she got home! Palina never had to spank one of us. I am now 80 & she has gone home to be with the Lord long ago, but I can never forget the love & the things that she instilled in me. She loved each & everyone of us as if we were her own. This story brought to mind all of the values that I had learned from her & how blessed I was to have her in my life! Thank you so much for sharing this story.
Margo Haynes, What a beautiful story! I'm thankful you shared it and I feel better having heard it! God bless you! ❤
You're very welcome!♥

Margo Haynes
Ms. Haynes what a wonderful story! May the Lord bless dear Palina. Take care of yourself Ms. Haynes, and God bless ❤💙💗💚💜💛💚
Margo Haynes Wow so beautiful. Thank you for sharing and God bless you and your loving nanny. May she rest in peace.
That's so beautiful
WONDERFUL!!!!!
My parents settled in the town they did because, in 1968 it was one of the most integrated towns in the country.
My parents wanted to raise my sister and I without the idea that other races were any different. In fact by the time I even heard the term "race" as something other than a speed contest, the entire concept was absurd.
The idea that blacks are any different than whites aside for complexion is just bizarre.
So, because where you live this is true, you think it is universal? Besides, are you SURE there is no bias there?
No, I said there is no difference between black people and whites. You said I was wrong, then gave an invalid reason why. I just pointed out that your reason was wrong. You say you claim your bias, but as you don't adjust your world view to account for it, has it really been claimed?
What was the first word of your reply to me?
Danae first word in your statement was and I quote “untrue” so yeah man you’re wrong
Eric Taylor Are you the baby in the picture ?
Greatest man I have ever met is Mr. Shepherd. Gentle, loving, a good man of God. I am blessed to have known him. He is a black man who grew up in a house with dirt floors. God made him into a man of God. It is like God wanted me to know what a real man is.
Wonderful lesson!
Just Love this story....
what a lovely story god bless u all
Woo Hoo !!! This video is an inspiration and what I hope is an inspiration.
Nice story God bless all... ❤
Thank you so much for sharing. Many blessings to yall and a special blessing for lollipop.💞👪👍
At my first apartment. This was mostly a black neighborhood with some older white people here and there but my neighbor on one side was an older white lady and everyone in the neighborhood called her mama Sellers (her last name). She stands out to me because she just had tons of kids in her yard, all the time. It looked like recess all the way until night. She cooked, she baby sat and always just sat on the porch telling stories to everyone. She always had a lot of help to. A lot of the moms would go over and help her cook and clean.
I later found out that her husband had been a high ranking officer in the military (im pretty sure he was navy) and they owned several utility companies (they were loaded). They had a big house,burbs, two kids, all that.. Anyways she ended up starting a women's shelter down the street from the neighborhood where I met her and worked it herself for years. After her husband died she moved into that apartment, sold everything and started two more shelters. That was the first person I ever met that truly loved everyone.
Beautiful story.
Love, love, love this!!!!
Love has no color. It comes from the heart, which we all have.
This is the most beautiful story I’ve ever,ever heard / I love lollipop
A lovely posting.
I wish the narrator was a real man, speaking the sentences and paragraphs correctly.
This posting doesn't deserve a computer reading in a female voice.
Please amend. Thank you!
❤❤❤, my eyes teared up. Awesome story,
Ardy Burger I held out till I heard Lolli Pop.
BEAUTIFUL Story
Real 💘 knows nothing but 💘 period 😘
I had a similar experience as a small white child from a very Dysfunctional Family I was starting down the wrong road I was sent to Yvonne Davis our guidance counselor I was in the 7th grade pissed off at the world big chip on my shoulder it was 1971 first thing I did when I walked in her room was fire up a cigarette thought that would get a reaction she talked calmly and respectfully to me about not everyone gets a fair Shake for a great childhood but your life can be as beautiful as you want it to be no matter your start at that point I was ashamed of lighting the cigarette she never said a word about it just pushed a small dish towards me or I butted out that cigarette and continue to listen to her we talked for several hours I came away from her office with a whole different outlook on life she was a very beautiful light skinned black lady I didn't realize her age when I went back to see her several years later I found out she had passed away it broke my heart so every now and then I look up to heaven and I say thank you to Yvonne Davis for making such a difference in my life I raised 2 well-adjusted beautiful children and now have four grandchildren and two great-grandchildren all well-adjusted wonderful people I'd like to thank her and let her know I think about her often
Excellent story. Thank you for sharing
I am also from Victoria Texas, it does not surprise me about these people and the other people from Victoria, I have lived in Tulsa OK for the past 40 years but I will be buried in Victoria TX, because that is where I call HOME
Beautiful story! God bless all of you 😍
