While traveling home on a Southwest Airlines flight on August 18, Tricia Belstra experienced kindness from strangers that most people can only dream of.
“I was not looking or feeling good,” she writes on Facebook. “I sat in my seat between two strangers holding a barf bag down low between my legs. One of the flight attendants looked at me and asked if I was okay. I asked for some water and another person brought it to me.”
Another young man came by, and Tricia wishes she would have gotten his name as he took drink requests. She ordered a diet coke and another glass of water before the young man leaned in and asked if Tricia was okay.
“I told him I was flying back to bury my son.”
He apologized for her loss, then handed her the drinks. Then the passenger next to Tricia offered to pour the water for her as her hands were shaking.
When the plane landed, that same woman helped Tricia remove her luggage from the overhead compartments.
