Way to go Todd, way to go Todd. Best Ever God. Best Ever Todd. I'm not going to go back and tell you why we do Way to Go Todd. I'm just going to read this. It's a post on Facebook. Ready? Yeah. My first flights with an infant and a toddler started out with a little panic when we boarded the plane. My four-month-old was screaming his head off because due to a series of unexpected events, I was unable to nurse him before boarding the plane. My three-year-old, who was excited before boarding the plane, lost her nerve, began screaming and kicking. I want to get off the plane. I don't want to go. I honestly thought we'd get kicked off. So with two kids losing their minds, I was desperately trying to calm the situation. This man. and there's a picture, reached for the baby and held him while I forced the seatbelt on Caroline, got her tablet, and started a movie. Once she was settled and relatively calmed, he distracted her so I could feed Alexander. Finally, while we were taxiing, the back of the plane no longer had screams coming from it. During the flight, this man colored and watched a movie with Caroline. He engaged in conversation and showed her all the things outside. by the end of the flight he was caroline's best friend i'm not sure if he caught the kiss she landed on his shoulder while they were looking out the window amazingly we had the same connection in charlotte to wilmington a connection he navigates frequently for work he helped us get off the plane and led us to the next gate with caroline in hand if that wasn't enough he changed his seat on the next flight to sit in our row to help us this guy showed me kindness and compassion that I've never known from another person. His wife, he said, had a similar experience when their two boys were young and a stranger showed her the same kindness. I'm blown away by God's hand in this because we could have been placed next to anyone, but we were seated next to one of the nicest men I've ever met in my life. I'd like to find him. His name is Todd. Wait a minute. Flag, flag on the play. This is not the best ever, Todd. It is the original Todd. Yeah, it's the best ever. It's the original. This is the one I read to you in April of 2018, and you said, way to go, Todd. He has a son at the University of Arkansas, and he lives in this town in Kansas. If you could help share this post so that I could find him, I'd really appreciate your help. Update. I've been connected with his wife, and we are hoping we can get together soon, and then there are the pictures. Page, we'll put this on our Facebook page later. You'll finally get to see the pictures of the little kids with Todd on the plane. Jessica's the mom. And my sister was looking at Facebook yesterday. And she goes, hey, look what I just found. And she sent me the original. That's the original Todd. So way to go, Todd. We'll start that all over again. And somehow this woman found out, Jessica, found out that we do this segment based on this because she has a friend. or at least a Facebook friend who lives around here somewhere. And so she knows a little bit that we do this every day based on what happened in 2018. I would like to see now pictures of her kids grown up because the little one was three.

So that was eight years ago. Now we're going to, you know, the fourth, fifth grade or whatever we're doing. And doesn't he, when he's in their area, go see them once in a lot? I think they get together a little bit. They don't live near each other, if I recall. Yeah. But anyway, if you ever wanted to see the original Todd story, that's it. We'll share it up on our Facebook page a little bit later today. And... Start over. Here we go. That's cool, isn't it? It is 630 on WMBD. If you see your own stories out there, please get them to us.
