The Reply

Just a few moments later, the flight attendant returned with the note. Janice was shocked. She didn’t think he would send it back. But little did she know she would be surprised with a reply that would make  her so happy.

However, when she opened it, she was even more surprised. Not only did he return the money, but he also took the time to write a nice reply. The reply was even more than she could have ever expected from a complete stranger.

A Different Idea

The man had a different idea in mind. If she was serious about finding a way to repay him, she could have dinner with him when the flight landed in New York. Janice never imagined something like this would happen to her.

She kept looking at the note and smiling. Was the gorgeous man asking her out? She couldn’t believe it! Before he could change his mind, she wrote back accepting the date. And there began something she was really grateful for.

Landing

When the flight landed, Janice was understandably uneasy. What had she agreed to? She was going to go on a dinner date with a wealthy man and she was wearing her dirty uniform. This made her a little conscious and uncomfortable.

She grabbed her bag and ran to the bathroom to change her clothes. Janice then met the man for dinner, and there was an instant connection. However, Janice wasn’t the only one who noticed the man’s act of kindness.

Other Passengers

Neither the man nor Janice knew that there was a lady in business class that saw the whole thing take place. She overheard the man speaking to the flight attendant and she saw the notes being passed around between the couple.

Touched by the man’s kind gesture, she wanted everyone to know about it. So, she took photos of the encounter. When they landed, she posted the photos and their story on social media. She was so happy she took this flight.

Social Media Famous

After just an hour, the couple’s story was shared over 10,000 times! People couldn’t stop commenting on the post, recognizing the man for his kindness. Many of those who responded had family or friends who served in the military. They hoped more people would act like the man.

The mysterious man was finally getting the recognition Janice hoped he would get. But neither of them knew about their story going viral. She couldn’t believe her eyes and what was happening around her but she was happy.

 

Looking to the Future

When Janice Walker arrived at the airport, the soldier had no idea the flight would end up changing her life. After risking her life to serve her country, a mysterious man finally gave her the recognition she deserved.

This small act of kindness touched her and the rest of the world. Not only that, it changed their lives and they found each other. We wish Janice and the man nothing but the best and we can’t wait to see what’s next in their love story.
