Dear stranger...
I'm not sure who you are and honestly I've forgotten what you look like, but I remember your words. I remember your encouragement.
I was sitting in a Northwest Airlines plane headed back to Canada after a wonderful visit with my boyfriend. I was crying in the seat wondering when we'd see each other again and wondering what our future would look like.
You. When most people turn away from those who are crying or stressed, you turned to me and let me talk about my grief. You listened like a friend and not like a grown up... you listened, patted my hand and gave me sweet words of encouragement.
Thank you. Thank you for taking the time to talk to me. Thank you for turning towards me and comforting me... a stranger.
Your kindness touched my heart then and it still does now... 14 years later.
Renee
