On October 28, 1994, a mother traveling with her newborn felt overwhelmed at the Hong Kong airport when she couldn't manage to retrieve her suitcase while carrying her baby. Despite her emotional state and postpartum struggles, a kind couple stepped in to assist her, showcasing the kindness of strangers. This experience served as a reminder that compassion can emerge in everyday moments, reinforcing the importance of human connection.
"When I look back on it, there must have been other people nearby who just awkwardly averted their eyes. The fact that this couple saw me and were willing to walk over and help was a real reminder that people can be lovely."
"I was really working myself into a state. Clearly, I still had some postpartum emotions going on. Looking back, I should have gone up to an airport official and asked them to help me."
