“Flight Angel” is a term I’ve never heard until this story, but it’s very fitting:
Recently a 96-year-old woman was very nervous on a flight as she was flying alone and doing it for the first time in 15 years.
Lucky for her, she was seated next to a young man who comforted her by holding her hand during takeoff and even gently hugged her when she became nervous during turbulence – describing to her what was happening and calming her.
His compassion didn’t end there though, as upon landing he insisted on holding her bag, helping her into a wheelchair and staying with her until her daughter arrived to pick her up from airport.
I wouldn’t be telling you about this if it wasn’t caught by passengers and one in particular who was moved to tears by the kindness shown by the young man.
Megan Ashley posted multiple pics and told her version of the what she witnessed in a Facebook post that has since gone viral:
