Peter was 70 and painfully alone. His days revolved around a rented room, a rocking chair, and an annual bus trip to visit his late wife\u2019s grave with a single white rose.<\/p>\n
On one snowy journey, the bus stopped during a storm. Inside, chaos erupted\u2014the driver was throwing out a young mother and her baby for not having a ticket. The wind howled, the baby shivered, and no one stepped in.<\/p>\n
