Beautiful article. I'm glad to hear that your baby was okay. My wife and I lost our baby last year at 40w5d gestation. It has shattered our world, but it is good to know that there are people in our world that truly care of others.

This reminds me of ~10 years ago at an airport where there was a McDonalds ministore and this was when the stupid ordering kiosks were first being tried out. This old man (late 70s?) was trying to order at the counter, and the young man behind the counter said he was sorry that he couldn't help him. After a brief exchange, the man became frustrated because he wanted to eat and not use the kiosk. The young man was frustrated because he didn't even have a register at the counter to take an order. The old man eventually just left in frustration after the young guy offered to help him order at the kiosk. Such a stupid and frustrating situation was created by someone that likely won't have to be on either end of this unnecessary interaction. I think about this often.
