Photos of a young boy being cuddled by a stranger he wanted to befriend at a football game are warming hearts across America.  

Isaiah was attending a high school football game in Georgia when he spotted a woman he had never seen before and immediately sat on her lap.

Star Balloon-Bradley, the boy's aunt, was worried that he was annoying the woman, but instead she happily chatted with him for 20 minutes.

'They were talking like they knew each other,' Balloon-Bradley wrote on Facebook.

Star Balloon-Bradley, the boy's aunt, was worried that he was annoying the woman - she revealed in a Facebook post - but instead she talked to Isaiah as if they were old friends 

At halftime the woman, who has been identified only as Mrs Angela, had to leave to meet up with her 15-year-old daughter. 

But it wouldn't be the last time she and Isaiah would cross paths.

Two weeks later Isaiah spotted Mrs Angela yet again and she immediately waved to him. 

'I thought their interaction would be the same as last time but I was wrong,' Balloon-Bradley wrote. 

'Isaiah walked right up to her smiling, crawled in her lap, and laid his head down on her shoulder. She welcomed him with open arms.' 

When Balloon-Bradley apologized to the woman, Mrs Angela said that Isaiah was her 'new friend' and that 'moments like this are priceless' 

'This lady patted and rocked Isaiah to sleep like she had given birth to him.' 

Balloon-Bradley said she kept asking Mrs Angela if she wanted them to take Isaiah, but the woman told her they were both fine.

'Isaiah and this lady had NEVER met before, other than those 20 minutes at a game two weeks ago,' she wrote. 'It was the sweetest!'

Balloon-Bradley said she went up to Mrs Angela after the game and apologized, telling her she had no idea why Isaiah 'keeps bothering her'. 

'She replied he's no bother and to not say that again,' Balloon-Bradley recalled. 'She said he was her new friend.' 

Balloon-Bradley said she hopes the pictures will show that 'color don't matter to a lot of people'. Isaiah is pictured here with his mother Thameka Miller

Mrs Angela also told Balloon-Bradley that she only had one child, now 15, and that 'moments like this are priceless'. 

'With all of the racial tension that's going on, I'm glad to see pictures like these because it goes to show color don't matter to a lot of people,' Balloon-Bradley wrote.

'Arguing over stuff as such makes us miss the simple pleasures in life. I love her and I don't know her! #LoveTriumphs.'

Balloon-Bradley posted pictures of Mrs Angela cuddling Isaiah on Facebook, where they have since been shared more than 300,000 times. 

Miller (pictured with Isaiah) also said her heart was 'truly overwhelmed' by the outpouring of love for the photos

Mrs Angela also saw her post and said it 'overwhelmed' her with emotions. 

'I am humbled by the kind words everyone has spoken,' she wrote. 'Isaiah is absolutely adorable!'  

Thameka Miller, Isaiah's mother, also said her heart was 'truly overwhelmed' by the outpouring of love for the photos. 

'Isaiah has such a pure heart and he has a gift of discernment even at his young age,' she wrote. 'This truly brings tears to my eyes!'
