A photo that’s gone viral of a little boy sitting in a near-stranger’s lap has warmed the heart of the Internet.<\/p>\n

Isaiah Miller is “a typical four-year-old who loves PJ Mask,” his mom Thameka Miller told “Good Morning America.”<\/p>\n

But maybe he’s just a little sweeter.<\/p>\n

His aunt, Star Balloon-Bradley, snapped a photo of him sitting in a woman’s lap at a Lowndes Vikings baseball game in Valdosta, <\/p>\n

Georgia, giving the then-unknown woman a hug and resting his head on her shoulder. <\/p>\n

She rocked him to sleep.<\/p>\n

Two weeks earlier, his aunt posted online, little Isaiah had met this woman and chatted her up for about 20 minutes. <\/p>\n

He spotted her again at the game the night the photo was snapped.<\/p>\n

“Isaiah walked right up to her smiling, crawled in her lap and laid his head down on her shoulder,” Star Balloon-Bradley wrote.<\/p>\n

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!!<\/p>\n

“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!!<\/p>\n

“We asked her if she wanted us to get him but she kept telling us she (and he) was fine!!,” Balloon-Bradley continued in the post.<\/p>\n

“Isaiah and this lady ha[d] NEVER met before other than those 20 mins at a game 2 weeks ago,” she wrote. <\/p>\n

“I told her tonight that I am so sorry and I don\u2019t know why he keeps bothering her. <\/p>\n

She replied he\u2019s no bother and to not say that again. <\/p>\n

She said he was her new friend. <\/p>\n

She then went on to say she only has one child who is 15 and moments like this are priceless!!!”<\/p>\n

The post went viral and the woman in the photo was located. <\/p>\n

She’s known as Mrs. Angela to the family.<\/p>\n

“Isaiah can come across shy at first, but some people he immediately warms up to, and Mrs. <\/p>\n

Angela During is one of those persons,” his mom told “GMA.”<\/p>\n

“He can discern if a person needs a hug, and he loves elderly people.”<\/p>\n

The post has been shared 330k times.<\/p>\n

Miller thinks she knows why.<\/p>\n

“I think with the racial tension that has manifested lately this story helps to restore hope in humanity and it shows the power of love. <\/p>\n

Also the innocence of a child and how love has no color boundaries.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
