The 'most beautiful thing on the internet' is this boy hugging strangers after his parents say it's time to leave
One little boy is melting hearts all across Twitter after a video of him hugging strangers goodbye at an outdoor concert on Sunday went viral.
Jude Safsy reached internet fame after one Twitter user posted footage of the young boy surprising a number of concertgoers with hugs after his parents told him that it was time for them to leave. And although his mom, Stephanie Safsy, initially made an attempt to peel her son from the arms of an unsuspecting recipient, it’s evident that Jude’s embraces were well received.
His parents told him "it’s time to go bye-bye", so he gave every stranger a hug.
My heart 😭

In fact, Jude’s kindness became contagious by the end of the video, when another little kid came up behind him to be the first to actually initiate a hug — a moment that’s possibly too cute to handle.
The last hug ?😭
Did you all survive this? Because I'm barely breathing.😭😭
So innocent. So cute. Pure love. pic.twitter.com/HIhW78GttA

That one had me, alone in my apartment, hands in the air- cheering, with tears in my eyes! My heart exploded and went everywhere!
I REALLY needed this today! Thank you.

Wish I was there. Could use a baby hug. Loved that no one turned him away. I guess we could all use a baby hug 🤗

In response to other users’ praise of the boy’s parents, the initial poster included more information about Stephanie and her husband, Nick Safsy, as well as some adorable photos of the family.
His name is Jude. Son of Nick Sasfy and his beautiful wife. I salute them both.
The last hug was the purest of them all. My heart wasn't ready ??😭

Stephanie Safsy didn’t immediately reply to Yahoo Lifestyle’s request for comment. But it’s safe to say that she and Nick must be proud of their little boy.
