I love how she was like "I hope I don't misspell anything."

[pameladavis]

I love the way she is looking at him and smiling even though he can't see it

"A beautiful reminder, in this time of too much awfulness..."

2018, let me introduce you to 2020.

"He was lonely, and just wanted to talk." That genuinely crushed my soul. The dude has never had a conversation with someone. He has never had that opportunity. This man and this girl are national treasures.

He's deaf and blind who lived this long while I'm out here complaining about life. I need to get a grip.

*It's not weird, Clara, it's good*

I can't even imagine how proud this girls parents must be of her.

No, Clara, that's not something "anyone" would have done. On that flight, you were apparently the "only" one who had both the skills and the desire to help that stranger! Good for you.

She was raised wonderfully. Kudos to her parents.

This is why I think teaching ASL in school is just as important as any other language taught!

[YanoshSquarepants]

Can't imagine how terrifying the world must be if you're blind and deaf, let alone being on am airplane

[DavidH-spwz]

Proud air force veteran, we could use more kind people like this young lady who showed some love to this struggling man who needed some love. Amen😊😊😊😊

*"It's not weird, Clara, it's good."* - Dumbledore assured in a calm, normal tone of voice.

[clararuth]

when he said "its not weird CLARA, its good" i felt slighty threatened lmao

[karlsangree]

She said, "Doing something like that is what anyone would have done." No sweetheart, it's not... and that's the problem. Bless you child... you are a kind and gentle soul.

Kids who turned out like Clara are the biggest hope for this crazy world. She was meant to be on that flight.

The photo of her looking at him should be on a stamp, so everyone sees what true kindness looks like.

[meganh]

I wonder how hard it is to travel alone while blind and deaf.
Glad she was on that flight to talk to him

[flyingrobins]

kudos to the flight attendant who made the announcement and asked for help instead of just ignoring his needs which they could have easily done

[DavosSeaworth]

The world is a better place because of human beings like her.
