A traveler shared a “touching” story of a “kind and patient” couple who played and painted with an unaccompanied minor on a flight, leaving thousands “raised”
“Anyone could have sat next to her, in fact many people avoid her and her boundless energy while boarding,” he wrote.
“But in the end, the couple you see in the photo occupied the two seats to her right.”
Josh said the pair would have realized they wouldn’t have a “relaxing flight” as the girl started talking “within minutes” but seemed unconcerned and “just got on with it.”
“While drinks were being served, the couple didn’t even get a chance to express their requests as they were cut off by the young girl who said, ‘I’ll have water with a straw and so will they, so we can paint!’ ,’ Josh said.
And they just rolled with it. Within minutes, the young girl had pulled out her Hello Kitty paint sheets, and the pair followed her instructions for the next hour.”
