A mother wrote a cordial message to a mysterious man who helped her and her granddaughter on a flight from Orlando to Philadelphia last week. Kelsey Zwick said that she and her daughter, who were born prematurely and in need of an oxygen machine, were on their way to Children's Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) when the stranger instantly warmed her hearts.
"To the man in 2D, Zwarte Zwick on Facebook, hoping the mystery the man would see," I do not know you, but I think you saw us somewhere. I pushed a stroller, had a diaper bag on my arm and also wondered an oxygen machine for my daughter. "
Zwick's 1[ads1]1-year-old daughter, Lucy, is actually a twin. Her girls were born almost 11 weeks early and Lucy spent 100 days in NICU while her sister lived for 86 days, Zwick told WTXF TV. Lucy now has chronic lung disease and was on his way to CHOP for treatment.

Zwick wrote that while traveling to the hospital, she and her daughter had smile on their faces because they were going to see their "friends" at CHOP.
"We boarded the plane, got cozy in the window seat and made jokes for those around us to have to sit by my roping but happy baby, "Zwick replied." The flight crew came over and told me you were expecting to change seats, "Zwick replied." You gave up your comfortable first class seat to us. "
When the flight director told Zwick what the man wanted To do to help, she was overcome by emotion.

Zwick wrote the Facebook post to say" not just for the seat itself, but to notice, "she wrote. The man saw them and realized that things were not simple. And instead of just turning around, he decided to get up and help.
She thanked the anonymous pilot "to decide that you wanted to show a random act of kindness toward the United States. It reminded me how much good it is in this world." Zwick said she said she can not wait to tell her daughter about this day when she's old enough to understand.
"Meanwhile," she wrote, "we will pay it forwards."
