The one that almost got away….

Mike was a nice man. I stole his seat. Good reason for that. I almost missed my flight because the stupid sign said “Miami”. Come to find out, when I looked up and saw no one around me, I asked. The flight attendant opened the locked door, walked me down and on to the plane putting me in the wrong seat.

Mid flight, when I woke up, Mike was sitting next to me. We started chatting. He lives in Tallahassee and was traveling to Massachusetts to see his mom. His wife couldn’t come because she had a court date in regards to the drunk driver who came into their 23 year old daughters lane, killing her. It had been two years. It has been hard on his family. He has an older son and a younger son. His daughter was working at UPS when she passed. She worked in shipping and could stack the boxes quicker and better than most. Must of gotten that from her mom because, according to Mike, his wife can stack firewood better and faster than him!

He was worried about missing his connecting flight so he departed quickly when we landed.

Now we wait for the next lucky contestant.
