If you read the news regularly, you might believe the world is a divisive and hateful place. Although this might be true in some cases, it doesn’t represent the majority of those that inhabit this planet. People will often go out of their way to support others — even if it’s as simple as holding somebody’s hand. A viral photo is evidence of this.
Before his first day at kindergarten, Axel Johnson waited for the bus with his mother, Amy. However, as soon as the big, yellow vehicle arrived, the boy suddenly became anxious. With tears streaming down his face, he boarded and took a seat.
Amy did not want to part with her son while he was crying. Fortunately, she did not have to worry about him for very long. The bus driver, Isabel Lane, immediately reached her arm back from the driver’s seat so she could hold Axel’s hand. Touched by the gesture, Amy snapped a photo of the tear-jerking moment.
According to GoodNewsNetwork, Lane spent the rest of the bus ride chatting with Axel and offering him encouragement for the day ahead. By the time they arrived at school, he had stopped crying. Furthermore, Axel has been excited to ride the bus every day since.
To honor the hard-working teachers, bus drivers, custodians, administration, food service staff, and paraprofessionals who keep the school district running, the WEAU wrote about Lane’s good deed on Facebook.
Lane has brushed off the praise, claiming she was just doing her job. Nonetheless, she hopes the good deed inspires other people to comfort someone who may need a shoulder to cry on.
