As a frequent flyer it is easy for me to arrive at an airport, plug in my headphones, and do my best to disconnect from the mind-numbing busyness going on around me. But this flight was different.
While waiting for a flight from Chicago, IL to Canton, OH, I noticed an older lady being dropped off near the gate via a wheelchair and left to sit alone. As the call to board began, I could tell she was struggling to find her way to the plane. I removed my headphones and offered to help her to the gate. She told me she was blind, took my arm, and together we slowly made our way.
