During a plane journey in USA, a pregnant woman was struggling with her 20 month old son who was upset. An unknown man sitting near the woman saw that she needed help and offered to walk up and down the aisle of the plane to soothe the young child so that Mum could get some rest.
A passenger took the photo and shared it online, saying, "This man walked the aisle most of the flight from Minneapolis to Atlanta comforting this woman's son as if he was his own. I was in tears, not because he was white and she was black but because it showed me today that there are still good people out there."
