I'm SOBBING 🥹

His aunt posted online just hoping someone would recognize the woman and tell her how special that moment was.

During a home football game in September 2018, four-year-old Isaiah was at the stadium with his mom Thameka and his aunt Star, watching the players the way he always did. At some point during the game, Isaiah spotted a woman sitting in the stands he'd never met before, walked straight over to her, and climbed onto her lap like they'd known each other for years.

The woman spent the next 20 minutes talking and interacting with him before she had to leave at halftime. Star figured it was a sweet, one-time thing and mostly forgot about it as the days passed.

Two weeks later, the family returned to the stadium for another home game. Isaiah spotted the same woman again. She waved. He made his way straight over to her.

"I thought their interaction would be the same as last time, but I was wrong," Star wrote on Facebook afterward. This time, Isaiah climbed into her lap and fell asleep as she gently rocked him. His family, worried he might be bothering her, offered to take him back. She insisted he was no trouble at all.

Star posted about the encounter online, not knowing the woman's name, hoping someone might recognize her. "I don't know who this lady is but if you know her tell her she's awesome," she wrote. The post was eventually identified as a woman named Angela, and it spread widely, shared more than 300,000 times.

Star described the whole thing simply: a stranger who showed up twice, and a four-year-old who somehow already knew exactly who she was.

Hello pet parents!! I am a house call dog groomer. I currently have openings for grooming or even just for nail trims and dremeling.

I bring all necessary grooming supplies directly to your home and I can groom out of your bathroom, or a garage. Any small space with adequate lighting, a sink or tub and an electrical outlet.

Save yourself a trip to the groomers, and that will save you on gas and wear and tear on your vehicle. And also is less stressful for your pet .

I've been a groomer since 1996. I can happily provide plenty of references.

Here I am sharing a few of my recent dog grooms and the first one is one that has been groomed in a garage.
