It is hard being a mom – balancing so many things that you feel like you barely have any time for yourself! Kesha Bernard, a professional photographer, was taking a vacation (without her two children) and was sitting on an airplane a few rows behind another mother that had her three kids with her.
The youngest child was just an infant, and as you may expect, the infant started to fuss. The flight had been delayed, and everyone was on edge. Kesha wasn’t about to let this mom struggle – she knew what it is like and stepped up to help! This photo shows Kesha holding the stranger’s infant, and it was shared almost 90,000 times and earned 173,000 reactions once it was posted.
In her post, Kesha said she had decided to help the mother because it was the decent thing to do.
Can you imagine how much misery Kesha was able to avoid by doing something nice for a fellow mom?
It is easy to sit there and complain to a mother who is struggling to control three small children – but it takes something special to step up and offer her help.
Kesha’s bottom line was that being nice is a lot better than complaining and mumbling.
What did the rude passengers expect the mother to do? Sprout another arm or split into two people? Come on!
Helping one another is how we should all behave. Don’t be a rude person, be a decent person. You never know – you could be the person who needs help one day.
Share away, people.
