I met my new friend Todd today.
He’s 46 but blessed with the childlike wonder of a 6 yr old.
It was his first airplane ride to meet his brother in FLL for some special Doctors. He was carried on to to the plane and he was terrified.
Said good & loud,
“I’ll probably throw up!”
The man between us got up & moved. LOL.
I talked him through the take off & landing.
I was blessed as he just said over and over
“OH WOW!! OH WOW!!
…as we disappeared into the clouds!
And when the the stewardess told him the Coke was FREE…he said he was going to tell his friends all about this trip!!
I saw people around us smiling as Todd checked out every inch of the plane while saying
“I’ve only seen an airplane on t.v. I never thought I’d be inside of one!!
We were the last two off the plane as I was by the window and he waited for his wheelchair & assistants. But just as I was about to leave, he shouted
“MS. SUE…I’LL NEVER FORGET YOU FOR HELPING ME THROUGH THIS!! I’LL THINK ABOUT YOU THE REST OF MY LIFE AND TELL MY FRIENDS HOW NICE YOU ARE!”
— feeling joyful

A great feel good and grin for the morning.

What a beautiful story. I can’t recall the author at the moment, but this reminds of a poem I know:
In summer I am very glad
we children are so small
For we can see a thousand things
that men can’t see at all
If only there were more “adults” in this world “blessed with the childlike wonder of a 6 yr old”…I’m sure this would be a much more peaceful & loving world that we live in.

When I think about how easy it is to be nice to others, I wonder why we do not do it more often.
