Go Pittsburgh Steelers!

Go Pittsburgh Steelers!

Tuesday, March 3, 2009

I remember my first time flying. I was only 18 yrs. old and never been anywhere far from home. To go to another city was a big deal back then. But, my husband finished basic training and I wanted to join him. I was scared to death. I had my baby daughter with me which took my mind off of myself at times as you can imagine. Back then she had her own seat and I didn't even have to pay a fare for her! We were seated next to an elderly gentleman who was exactly that. He was worried about me and proceeded to tell me he had flown numerous times during his life time and I had nothing to worry about. He even talked to my daughter and tried to amuse her. My daughter was a great baby and she traveled well. I hadn't really prayed in some time but found myself praying like crazy the entire flight! (Hey, I still do that today when I fly!) I remember the stewardess brought a wings pin and gave it to my daughter. That was so cute. I must've blocked it all out since I don't remember the flight at all, unless it was just that nice man talked my ear off the entire time and took my mind off of the flight! Thank you, Lord, for him! Anyway, I've flown quite a bit since then and still don't look forward to the experience!

  2. That was my first flight, too, and I don't remember one bit of it. Whatever happened to the wings?
