Aunt Embarrassed When Nephew Crawls Onto Stranger’s Arms But Woman’s Reaction Goes Viral

There’s no denying children have pure hearts – and they’re often drawn to adults who have the same type of kindness in their own. Such was the case when little Isaiah and his Aunt Star were at a high school football game this week. During a lull in the game, Isaiah spotted a friendly looking woman and took action..

Now the stranger’s heartwarming reaction to the toddler is going viral for all the right reasons. We’re just glad Star had her camera ready and wanted to share her nephew’s sweet moment with all of us…

In her now-viral Facebook post, Star shared what happened on the bleachers that evening and how shocked she was by it:

“I don’t know who this lady is, but if you know her, tell
her she’s awesome. Isaiah walked up to this lady at our last home game
two weeks ago. He sat on her lap and they were talking like they knew
each other. It lasted no more than 20 mins.

However, she left right after halftime to meet up with her little
girl. Fast forward to tonight… not long after we sat down at the game
Isaiah spotted her. She waved at him and he made his way up to her. I
thought their interaction would be the same as last time but I was
wrong…”

“Isaiah walked right up to her smiling, crawled in her
lap and laid his head down on her shoulder. She welcomed him with open
arms. This lady patted and rocked Isaiah to sleep like he had given
birth to him. It was the sweetest! We asked her if she wanted us to get
him but she kept telling us she (and he) was fine!

Isaiah and this lady have NEVER met before other than those 20 mins
at a game 2 weeks ago. I told her tonight that I am so sorry and I don’t
know why he keeps bothering her. She replied he’s no bother and to not
say that again. She said he was her new friend. She then went on to say
she only has one child who is 15, and moments like this are priceless!

With all of the racial tension that’s going on, I’m glad to see the
pictures like these because it goes to show color don’t matter to a lot
of people. It really don’t!

Arguing over stuff as such makes us miss the simple pleasures in
life. I hate I didn’t get her name but I will next game because I’m sure
Isaiah will make his way back to her. I love her and don’t know her!”

Star’s post quickly gained attention online – and people from all corners of the country began scouring the Internet to find the unidentified woman. Once the sweet stranger was identified, Star added her post to thank her personally.

“We found out who she is. Her name is Mrs. Angela. She’s
such a sweet lady, y’all! It’s awesome how God connects people together
for whatever reason!”

To make things even better, Angela wanted to thank the one being who was responsible for her big heart.

“To God be all praise, glory, and honor! I have been
overwhelmed with emotions today as I have read the post Star
Balloon-Bradley shared. I am humbled by the kind words everyone has
spoken. Isaiah is absolutely adorable! I pray people will [think of]
Jesus in all this & know His love is beyond measure & that is
how I want to love & live my life. I’m not worthy but He sure is!”

In just a few days, Star’s post has more nearly 1 million likes and more than 310,000 shares. Obviously, everyone loved seeing a total stranger open her heart to this adorable little boy.

Angela didn’t have to talk to Isaiah – let alone cuddle him on her lap. Thanks to God’s love, she was able to show that same sense of caring toward the sleepy little one. Additionally, Star’s message was important; no matter our backgrounds, orientations, or beliefs, we can all find a way to love and understand each other!
