'He's a great kid and you're a lucky mom. I appreciate the $10 but it wasn't necessary. I donated it to Autism-Society.org in honor of Landon.'
Sending your child alone on a plane for the first time will send any parent’s nerves into overdrive, but, it likely feels even more terrifying. One mom decided when her son went on his first plane ride to send a note for his seat mate and what she received back from him will melt your heart.
“Today my son took his first flight to Oregon to see his dad,” mom Alexa Bjornson wrote on Facebook. “I sent Landon with a letter to give to whoever sat next to me sayingShe said she asked the stranger to please make him feel “safe and comfortable,” and sent along $10 in the note for their trouble. What she received back from the man after their plane ride is proof there are so many good people in this world.
“My name is Ben. I was Landon’s seat neighbor for his flight to Portland. He did ask if we were there yet several times but he was a great travel buddy,” he wrote to Bjornson. “We had a good time and played a few rounds of rock-paper-scissors. He’s a great kid and you’re a lucky mom. I appreciate the $10 but it wasn’t necessary.
“I am so grateful to this individual, and that there are still kind people in the world who make a difference like I try myself to do as well,” Bjornson wrote, sharing the note from Ben next to an adorable picture of the two on their flight. “Thank you so much Ben!!!!”Of course, he could have just taken the money and sat next to Landon without acknowledging him during their travels.
Bjornson tells Scary Mommy the family definitely plans on staying in touch with Ben and the pair have even planned to meet “for a date” before Landon comes home. Please, oh please, share more pictures of Landon and Ben as their friendship forms — we need more of this happy goodness in our lives.
