In the wake of human tragedy, like the recent terrorism in Paris, we are sometimes too afraid to act. However, it is the small acts of kindness and goodness, reflect the strength and hope of the human spirit. Most of us are men and women of goodwill, it is time to sound our note of brotherhood and solidarity. The trip to escort little John Marc was scheduled just two days after the terrorism in Paris. The trip was almost cancelled, but Sara Rosado, from AA Miami Flt Service, decided to escort this boy despite the fear surrounding the destination. Here is her report:.
This little boy was darling. Such a long journey for a 3-year old child, but Jean Marc had the best disposition. He never cried, or fussed. We had some time in Philadelphia and I found a little playground in the airport where he played for a little while, then we ate a late lunch at the food court and waited until it was time to board the Paris flight. We were very comfortable on the plane with an entire row to ourselves, so I made him a bed and he went to sleep the entire night on the way to Paris. I woke him up to feed him breakfast before we landed. When we arrived we were given the VIP welcome with a police escort. That made everything so much easier! I couldn’t thank the police officer enough. He even helped me by taking our carry-ons when I was pushing the stroller as we transferred between terminals at CDG. I made sure to thank him profusely on behalf of Airline Ambassadors and the Children’s agency.
Even though there was much apprehension due to the tragic events in Pa
ris, I think it was a good decision to go through with our plans. I’m glad we didn’t cancel.
