“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 she 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 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 doesn’t matter to a lot of people. It really doesn’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!
Update: 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!”
This is her post after finding out I posted this picture for her:
‘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 Jesus in all this & know His love is beyond measure and that is how I want to love and life my life. I’m not worthy but He sure is!’ -Angela
