#49 Help a Stranger in Need

So, I fly a lot for work. I got on the plan to go to Wisconsin and while walking to my own seat, I notice a young woman sitting in her own seat. I won't go into detail about why it was that I notice her, sufficed to say that she just seemed out of place. Anyway, so when the flight landed in Milwaukee I was as usual trying to get off the plane as quickly as possible. Well, this young woman was standing in the aisle trying to get her bag down and was holding another bag in her arms. So I offered to help her get the additional bag. It was really heavy and awkward and she couldn't carry both so I helped her get off the plane with both her bags. I was going to just leave her with her things at the end of the jet way but she looked horrified. She was disoriented and could not answer any question I was asking her. I cannot even imagine how this poor girl got herself on the plane in Atlanta with all this stuff. Anyway, I found an agent and got her a wheel chair and someone to help her. I am pretty sure she was just fine...she seemed to calm down a little. I just said a little prayer for her and went on to my meetings. That's it. I helped my stranger...I am sure it won't be my last time.
