DUNDAS, Minn. – Erling Kindem is in his garden early. He has one final task before his 16-mile car trip.

"This was Emmett's bush," says the 89-year-old WWII veteran hunched over a tomato plant and reaching for the red fruit. "See all the 'matoes' he's going to have."

A friendship that went from backyard to viral video is about to add a new chapter.

It's been two weeks since Emmett Rychner, the 3-year-old next door, moved with his family to a house at the edge of a Rice County cornfield.

Erling tears up thinking about it. "It's kind of lonely out here sometimes you know," he says.
