Godfrey Cuotto, a 21-year-old student in Hamilton, Ontario, was making his way home on a packed bus.
Robert, whose family later revealed that he has cerebral palsy and is deaf, asked Mr Cuotto to shake his hand.
Initially, Mr. Cuotto feared that he was being pranked, but soon realized Robert “just needed comfort.”
During the 30-minute bus journey the pair shared, Mr. Cuotto obliged as Robert held and kissed his hand, and hugged and leaned against him.
“Sometimes you just have to be selfless and put someone else’s needs above yours,” said Mr. Cuotto.
He said that his mother taught him how to treat others, and said he was “raised by a queen.”
If you have children, please tell them this story. One of the principal responsibilities of parenting is to teach the importance of compassion!
