An open
letter written by a mother of an autistic three-year-old to the kind
stranger that sat next to them on long flight, going viral.
36-year
old Shanell Mouland of Quispamsis says when a businessman sat next to
her daughter on the plane she was nervous about how he would react, but
was pleasantly surprised when the man put away his papers and started
talking and playing with Kate. Mouland tells Tide News the man gave her
entire family a peaceful flight.
With the
post garnering attention from the Huffington Post and the New York
Daily News, Mouland says she's proud her letter is reaching so many
people.
Mouland
tells us she and the man have been in contact since the flight from
Orlando, and she describes him as modest, and not looking for any
recognition. You can read Mouland's post, which has 62,000 likes on
