Every parent has been there. You are in public and your baby is throwing a tantrum. You try everything you can think of and nothing works. Your baby just screams louder and louder and you are completely overwhelmed. We often hear of the negative comments and terrible stares these parents receive, clearly indicating that they don’t know how to parent properly. But then there are stories like this one. Where someone doesn’t criticize but just reaches out helps. Ashifa did exactly that for the Vassaur family. She literally reached out and helped, calming down little Marley Jo and giving her parents a much needed break. But more than the help was the message. A message that anyone can be the one to help if they are willing. Ashifa was just standing in the passport line like everyone else. But her action is something the Vassaur’s will never forget.
