This happened maybe ten years ago.

I (16F at the time) went to accompany my dad to his wedding out of the country. Complicated story, but I was to go with him to be his witness (turned out I was too young, but that's not relevant).

We went by plane and I was pretty nervous since I'd never flew before. My dad can be.. kind of a jokster, and found it hilarious to tell me stories when the turbulence got bad to scare me.

That was until a voice over the intercom told us we couldn't land at our destination. I don't remember why, but we spend hours flying to another airport to land there.

Now the scare of the flying itself was over, but me and my dad were going to miss our ride and would not be able to go where we were staying the night.

We spend the rest of the flight trying to figure out what to do, and I got quite emotional about the prospects of it.

Whilst exiting the plane, this older lady walked up to us, she looked like a put together business lady and her English was quite good. She offered for us to come stay with her.

She was picked up at the airport and we went with her, they had a pullout couch I shared with my dad, and they gave us breakfast in the morning.

I don't even remember her name, but I do remember the smell of their home.

I don't think she'll ever see this post, but i will forever remember her act of kindness.
