Listen to the songs. I can sing the first, but admit to singing and crying with the second.

Such poignant storytelling. But you don’t know what happened to the baby or the mother. Maybe the grandmother, or someone else, came along soon after you and scooped the pair up and took them home. It was so kind of you to leave them groceries.

I like the idea that the Gogo showed up and took them home.

I don't think you need to consider whether you did the right thing for this child... a heart, a tad of kindness, whether a toddler, adult, the elderly, folks on the street, you acknowledged another human with kindness, and that is good!

You did the kind thing, Bex. Hopefully that baby girl has a better life now, and is a better mother.
