He just could help, as he had experience, and did so. Some people even thought he was the father of the baby.
What is the one thing you are afraid to see in the airplane when you get in? There are many variants, but for many people a newborn will probably get into their top 10. When you see a couple with a small child in the boarding queue, you already know they will definitely sit next to you and the child will definitely cry during the whole flight.
So the passengers on this flight from Minneapolis to Atlanta cursed the passenger and her crying son, until this man got up and approached her.
Another passenger posted this photo on Facebook. She wrote: “When I was flying back to Georgia, this person offered this woman help out of the blue. She was pregnant, and her kid was very nervous and cried a lot. The man explained, that he also had children, so he understood everything and wanted to help, so that the woman could get some rest.
He walked up and down the aisle most of the way from Minneapolis to Atlanta, rocking someone else’s baby as if it was his own. I don’t know why I was moved to tears. Not because he was white, and the woman was black…It’s just so pleasant to see that such simple human kindness still exists around us”.
To be a hero, you don’t have to save the world. Even such a simple, unremarkable gesture can suddenly restore our faith in humanity.
