WOW, something amazing just happened to me and I have to share it with everyone. American Airlines started a new rule where you have to pay to bring a carry-on bag on the plane. It’s silly, but that’s not the main point.
I packed all my stuff into one bag. They measured it and said it was just a little too big. They said I had to pay $50, but only by credit card, no cash. I just got back from Europe, and all my cards were being declined because my bank didn’t know I was home.
They told me I would miss my flight and had to go back to the ticket counter to pay. I was upset and begging after a long day of traveling. Then a man came over and asked, “How much is it?” When they said $50, he said, “I got it.”
I was shocked and told him not to worry. But he gave his card to the lady, and the airline workers were quiet, surprised by how kind he was. They charged the card, and he told me to have a great flight.
I was crying as I wrote this and got on the plane. This man was like an angel. I tried to pay him back when I saw him in first class, but he shook his head and told me to help someone else someday.
My heart feels so full. There are good people in the world. Be that good person for someone else, because after this, I will for sure be.
Update: It was NFL player Jermaine Gresham.
