A woman about 8 months pregnant got on a bus. She noticed the man opposite her was smiling at her. She immediately moved to another seat. This time the smile turned into a grin, so she moved

Feeling more at ease, the woman settled into her seat, and the two struck up a conversation. They talked about their families, their hopes and fears for the future, and the joys of impending parenthood. By the time they reached their destination, they had exchanged phone numbers and promised to keep in touch.

In the weeks that followed, the woman found herself looking forward to their conversations. The man became a source of comfort and support during her pregnancy, offering words of encouragement and reassurance when she needed them most.

When the day finally arrived for her to give birth, the man was there by her side, holding her hand and offering words of encouragement as she brought new life into the world. And when she held her newborn baby in her arms for the first time, she knew she had found a friend for life.
