The idea for the blog

A few years ago, my aunt took her last trip to West Virginia. Her husband had passed a few months before, and for the first time in a long time she was traveling alone. She had to change planes in Cincinnati. She got confused by the airport (who doesn't these days). A couple who lived in Cincinnati saw her confusion and offered to walk her to her gate and saw her safely on the plane. My aunt protested, saying that she knew they had better things to do than to walk an old lady to her gate. The couple shrugged, saying that they would only have to wait for their luggage and they would rather be doing something than sit and wait. She never got their names.

Every time she tells this story, she says "There are still good people in this world." Thanks to you, couple from Cincinnati, for helping my aunt on her last trip home and for giving me the idea for this blog.

Film Geek above used the word I would have: refreshing. I love the concept. Will return.
