I have been graced with too many kind people in my life. I missed my first flight home by a couple of minutes. The next one wasn't going to be until tomorrow and I wouldn't get home until 11:54 PM, meaning I would miss my homecoming talk and my family Christmas party.
So I panicked and I cried in the airport and it was a whole ordeal. But one of my Aunts stepped in and offered to buy me a ticket for another airline that would get me a flight home that night.
Derity had already driven all the way back to the airport by the time we got this figured out and I was in her car squeezing my eyes shut to try and get out all my tears and complaining that I had a migraine. We looped back around and she dropped me back off at the airport and I said, "Bye, I'm going to go chill in the airport for a couple of hours."
I had just gotten my ticket when I saw a charging station and my phone was nearly dead so I figured I would stop there to charge it since I still had such a long while until my flight. About an hour later Derity calls me and says, "Where are you in the airport?" I tell her where and ask why.
"I brought you some ibuprofen for your migraine. I'm going to come give it to you. I'm already parked and everything." So I was like, wow. That is literally so sweet. Like just to bring me ibuprofen. That's such a little thing and my head doesn't hurt so bad anymore so I feel kind of bad but wow what a sweetheart.
About five minutes later she walks past me not with ibuprofen but with Vince. She literally drove back to Chandler, picked him up, and brought him to the airport so we could say goodbye again cause she knew how much that would mean to me. So I got to hug him goodbye again and suddenly I was really grateful I'd missed my flight and all too thankful for these friends of mine.
