Struggling Mom on Flight Gets Unexpected Help from Stranger
Flying alone with my two-month-old son was tough—he cried nonstop, and I felt overwhelmed. The man next to me looked annoyed, and I feared he’d say something harsh.
Then, unexpectedly, he said, “Give me the baby. You try to get some sleep.”
He turned out to be a pediatrician and a dad of two. Holding my son, he calmed him instantly, letting me rest for the first time that day.
Before we landed, he told me, “You’re a very strong mother. Never doubt that.”
That simple kindness meant the world to me.
