Rideshare services are everywhere, including Down Under. After a recent ridesharing journey in Australia, this elderly couple and their young driver shared a touching moment. This brief encounter shows us that, even in a pouring rainstorm, there is time for kind words and a little love!
The dash video begins when the passengers arrive at their destination. The man shakes the driver’s hand and begins getting out. The woman takes the driver’s hand and tells him to look after himself before exiting the car. While the gentleman remains on the passenger side, we hear a tapping and see a shadow at the driver’s side window.
The driver rolls down his window to see the older woman beside him, standing in the rain. She quickly tells him that he reminds her of their son, who passed away just a year ago. The driver melts, uttering a simple, “Awwww” before he asks the woman if she would like a hug. She leans in, saying she does need a hug. The two hug through the window, and she kisses the young man on the cheek.
She told him again to take care of himself, then offered a bit of sage advice. “The world will take you wherever you want to go.” Melting again, the driver replies, “Oh, that’s so sweet.”
No matter how bad the world seems, there are random moments like this that remind us that we have reason to celebrate. This tender exchange portrays the caring demeanor of the driver. The elderly couple, having suffered the tragic loss of a son, received a reminder of his life. If only the whole world could be this lovely!
