On a flight, I helped a nervous woman using Google Translate to order food and complete forms. We “chatted” by passing my phone back and forth, sharing smiles and stories despite the language barrier. She was from Japan, flying to meet her grandson for the first time.
After landing, I stayed with her until she reunited with her family. A week later, her grandson messaged me: “She said you were her angel.” They invited me to dinner, and we shared a beautiful evening. That small gesture on the plane became a lasting reminder that kindness needs no translation.
