@cbssundaymorning: If you pass by four-year-old Roman Butzlaff's house in Concord, N.C., he will surely greet you with a wave and a "hey." But what began as a friendly gesture became a bond that drew together his neighborhood. Steve Hartman reports on the "family" that Roman built one wave at a time. #goodnews #northcarolina #Wave #neighborhood

A lot of these neighbors are older. The elderly also suffer from loneliness. There’s a lot of research that’s been done that shows how beneficial putting older adults and young children together can be.
