If you remember your first-ever day of school, you\u2019ll likely remember the feelings of worry and stress.<\/p>\n
Of course, not every child experiences these emotions, but it\u2019s fair to say a good many are nervous ahead of independently leaving home and taking a leap into the unknown.<\/p>\n
One little boy, named Axel, certainly was. He was struggling with the idea of being apart from his mother, Amy Johnson, despite her reassurances that everything would be okay.<\/p>\n
The bus driver, Isabel Lane, noticed Axel\u2019s apprehension almost immediately when she pulled up to collect him.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe was all smiles when he saw me around the corner,\u201d Isabel said. \u201cAnd then I started to slow down. And that\u2019s when you could see his face kind of start to change.\u201d<\/p>\n
Amy lifted Axel up and placed him on the nearest bus seat. Then she tried to take her son\u2019s photo so that they\u2019d have a memento for the future.<\/p>\n
Only, that would prove harder than imagined. No sooner had Amy began to walk away than did Axel start grabbing for her. It was then that bus driver Isabel did something truly wonderful: she reached her hand behind her and held Axel\u2019s hand.<\/p>\n
Through that comforting gesture, Amy was able to get the snap she needed. She uploaded it to Facebook, where it proved to be a popular hit with others.<\/p>\n
The local police department even shared the image, praising Isabel for helping Amy during a difficult time.<\/p>\n
\u201cI didn\u2019t think it was like that big of a deal personally. I guess this is something that I would do,\u201d Isabel later said.<\/p>\n
As per reports, Isabel\u2019s small act of comfort turned out to be precisely what Axel needed. The 10-year-old\u2019s attitude was different the next day \u2013 he waited at the stop on his own and said hello to Isabel before hopping onboard.<\/p>\n
Way to go, Isabel! I\u2019m sure Amy is extremely thankful for what you did for her son.<\/p>\n
