A series of photos showing a woman comforting a little boy at a football game have gone viral and are warming up the hearts of millions of people on social media. Little Isiah, who was at a high school game in Georgia, seemed to have made a connection with the woman he’d never met before and, clearly, the feeling was mutual.

Isiah's aunt, Star Balloon-Bradley, was initially worried her nephew was disturbing the woman when she saw him walk up to her and start talking during a football game. She says the pair happily chatted for 20 minutes before parting ways, as per reports by UNILAD.

Two weeks later, the boy spotted the woman at another game and went straight to her. His aunt was amazed when she saw Isiah crawled in her lap and rested his head on her shoulder. She said that it felt like the two have known each other for a long time. She asked the woman if her nephew was bothering her but the woman replied that he wasn't and added that she was enjoying his company as much as he was her's.

Star then shared her incredible story on her Facebook account. Here's what she said: "I don’t know who this lady is but, if you know her, tell her she’s awesome. Isaiah walked up to this lady at our last home game two weeks ago. He sat on her lap and they were talking like they knew each other. It lasted no more than 20 mins. [sic]"
