My big business trip to Los Angeles was going to be just another day until the pilot gave me a mysterious request leaving me questioning everything I knew about my past. The truth he shared would alter my future in ways I never imagined.
My flight was supposed to be a smooth one, but what happened during that two-hour journey changed my life forever. But before I tell you about it, let me share why I had to reach LA that day.
So, I am an architect at a well-known construction firm, and this is my dream job. Let me tell you, it wasn’t good luck that brought me here. It was my hard work and all those sleepless nights I spent in college upgrading my skills and learning new concepts.
In recent times, my boss gave me an opportunity to present a big project to some of our top investors in Los Angeles.It was a HUGE thing because it could lead to a long-awaited promotion, so I happily accepted the opportunity.
Frankly speaking, I felt so grateful because it was also a chance to make my mom, Melissa, proud. She’s my best friend, and that’s mainly because she has raised me as a single parent. She told me my father passed away before I was born, but she never stopped me from chasing my dreams. Mom’s always been there to support me, and I love her for that.
So, when I told her about the meeting in LA, she hugged me and said, “Go get ’em, sweetie! I’ll be praying for you.”
Soon I found myself comfortably seated on the plane, ready to take off. The flight attendants were all so welcoming, and I lucked out with an empty seat next to me!
The plane began to ascend and I couldn’t help but feel excited. I was well-prepared for my presentation, hoping the investors would like it.
A few minutes after the flight took off, a friendly-looking flight attendant named Bethany approached me with a tray of drinks.
