When this 96-year-old woman expressed her anxiety over flying, the young man sitting next to her stepped up to be her “flight angel”.

An airline passenger was left “sobbing with happy tears” after she witnessed a man’s compassion towards a frightened elderly woman on their flight.

Megan Ashley had been flying from San Diego to Nashville last month when she overheard a 96-year-old woman saying that she was anxious because she had not flown in 15 years.

When the plane began to take off, the elderly woman asked the young man sitting next to her if she could hold his hand.

“She asked for this man’s hand during takeoff and then hugged him again when experiencing turbulence,” says Ashley. “This gentleman I should say, gladly took her hand, let her hold onto him, calmed her by talking to her and explaining everything that was happening … he helped her stand up to go to the restroom and watched her carefully walk down the aisle.

Sgt. Seth Craven, 26, had flown to Philadelphia from Afghanistan on August 5 in preparation for his wife Julie's scheduled cesarean section on August 9 in Charleston, West Virginia, Craven told INSIDER.



He intended to catch a connecting flight to West Virginia on August 7, but his flight was canceled. He rescheduled his trip so that he would fly out the next day, August 8, but that flight was canceled, too.
Craven said that all the car rental places were sold out due to the storm, leaving him stranded.
Just when he thought he was out of luck, Craven was approached by Charlene Vickers, a programs director for AmeriHealth Caritas Partnership, who was at the airport and offered to help according to WV Metro News. Vickers and her colleagues were headed to Charleston for an event on Friday and she had an extra seat in her car.
"I'm getting to West Virginia tonight, come hell or high water. So are you willing to join this crazy party of ours?" she recalled telling Craven, according to WV Metro News.

Giovanni Hamilton has a very rare condition, Schwartz-Jampel Syndrome, and the type he has is the first case ever documented. He's had 12 surgeries but has kept a positive outlook on life.

Friday at Eagles camp, the 11-year-old met his hero.

When Wentz went over to sign autographs after practice, Giovanni was moved to tears.

Giovanni's mother was also crying.

"It was what got us through, just the possibility of today," said mom Shannon Algarin. "When the moment actually happened, it was like, 'Wow. This is worth everything we've gone through this year'."

Algarin said her son had a whole speech planned. Giovanni wanted to tell Carson — who has come back from many injuries of his own — that he was going to be like that, too.

But when the moment came, all Giovanni could say through his tears was: "You're my hero."
