Drenched from the freezing rain, a young pregnant woman stood shivering at a dark, empty bus stop, clutching her belly. She felt completely alone after her husband packed his bags and abandoned her the moment he found out about the baby. Just as she began to lose hope, a young teenage boy walked up, took off his own jacket, and placed it over her head to shield her from the storm. “You shouldn’t be out here alone,” he said softly. When she tearfully explained her heartbreaking situation, the boy looked at her with immense maturity and said, “Let me walk you home. You shouldn’t carry this burden by yourself.” She asked him why he was being so kind to a complete stranger. What she didn’t know was that the boy’s own mother had been abandoned in the exact same way years ago, and he had promised himself he would never let another mother suffer alone.
