Uber driver shares touching moment with grieving passenger
A young Uber driver has shared the emotional interaction he had with a grieving mother.
James Bade, a 23-year-old from Sydney, shares clips from his best Uber driving moments on his TikTok, capturing honest moments with his passengers.
Bade's latest video has moved his followers to tears, as he drove around an older couple who broke down in tears at the end of their journey.
James captioned his video, "This job makes me cry sometimes,” as the video shows the elderly woman telling James, “You know what? Look after yourself.”
Her voice broke as she said, "You're a champion."
The couple then left the car, before the woman began tapping frantically on James' window as he winds it down.
“I lost my son last year,” she tells him through tears.
“And you remind me so much of my son.”
Bade unbuckles his seatbelt and hugs the woman through the window as she cries.
The woman, still sobbing, holds Mr Bade for a moment, telling him to “take care”.
“The world will take you wherever you want to go,” she tells him.
The comments section was flooded with emotional messages, showing that the interaction obviously touched his followers.
“You can tell she has so much love and nowhere for it to go,” one wrote.
“Actually crying … how lovely,” said another.
Another added, “This is just beautiful … you can just tell in her voice that she needed that so much.”
Sadly, not every one of James' passengers are as lovely, as he recently made headlines after a rude passenger talked down to him over his career choice and high school exam results.
