The photo below went from a cute moment to my favorite moment of the day.
Sleeping child on father's shoulder at the end of a long day (almost 3 hours by then). How sweet.
I mentioned that to the woman next to me, and she told me, it isn't that man's child. The mother had carried the child for hours, and she was exhausted. The man, a complete stranger, volunteered to take over. The woman isn't in the photo. She's a few steps behind, clearly fatigued, grateful for the man's kindness.
The positive symbolism of this moment works on so many levels.
