Kelsey had no clue that another passenger had taken notice of her and her daughter. But shortly after getting onto the plane, he brought her to tears.
No matter where we stand in life, most of us go through many of the same obstacles and challenges. Things like going to the store for groceries, going to work every day, or making it through the airport when we need to travel.
Even when we get through customs and are safely on the plane, the flight itself isn’t usually particularly comfortable—especially if you’re a mother with a baby.One man ended up changing a mom’s day around after he spotted her and her baby at the airport. While he could have just sat back and done nothing – he chose to make a selfless move.
The story began when Kelsey Zwick was scheduled to take a flight on American Airlines with her 11-month-old daughter.
The flight was from Orlando, Florida to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, a flight that takes about two and a half hours. Although traveling with a child that young is a challenge all in itself, it was made all the more difficult because Zwick was traveling with a big diaper bag and an oxygen machine for her daughter, who was born prematurely.
As it turns out, an act of kindness was about to make their flight that much easier!After she settled into her seat in economy, a flight attendant made her way back into the cabin up to Zwick and her daughter.
She told Zwick that there was a male passenger in first class who wondered if she and her daughter might not be more comfortable in the front of the plane? Shocked by the offer, Zwick was quickly shedding tears of gratitude!
“I’m just standing there looking at him, crying just saying, ‘thank you,’” she said. “He just quietly was smiling so big and was like, ‘you’re welcome.’”
Just like that, the two switched seats, and the rest of the flight passed without incident.
When the plane landed, Zwick wanted to speak to the kind stranger who had helped her and tried waiting for him at the gate.
Still, somehow the two missed each other while they were de-boarding the plane. As she started to leave the airport, she still felt a strong need to have a conversation with the man. To try and reach out to him more efficiently, Zwick decided to post a long message on Facebook about it.
