Earlier this week, numerous outlets revealed that the person who snapped the photo — Natasha Crittenden Wilson — was a stranger to the two people in the photo. Here’s what happened. Subsequently, Wilson — who is a mother of seven — appeared on Good Morning America and said “he went over and picked up the sleeping baby and sat and hummed to him and rocked him until he was called back to his room. This was something I had never witnessed in my life.” In both her Facebook post and on Good Morning America, Wilson commented that the fact that the man was white and the mother was black gave her “hope.” Having children is still a rallying point for human beings everywhere. The mother in question, Jade West, and the older man who rocked her baby, Joe Hale, aren’t giving a ton of interviews. Which is even better. Little small moments of kindness happen between people everywhere, every day, proving, that despite how hard life can seem, there are in fact, days worth living for.
