Settling In
Jacob settled into the seat beside me, his shoulders finally relaxing after all the excitement. “Mom, that was… wow,” he said, his eyes wide with amazement. “It sure was, sweetheart,” I replied, gently ruffling his hair. I watched as the tension melted away, leaving him both curious and content, perfectly at ease in his chair. What began as an ordinary flight had transformed into an adventure—unexpected, exhilarating, and full of new experiences.

Flight Takes Off
With every seat filled and the tension finally dissolved, the plane began its steady taxi down the runway. Moments later, we climbed into the sky, ascending smoothly to our cruising altitude. The chaos of the past hour already felt like a distant memory. The cabin settled into a gentle rhythm—soft conversations mingling with the occasional sound of quiet snores. I exhaled deeply, a blend of relief and fatigue washing over me, grateful to finally be en route. Air travel has a way of reminding us that life’s journeys are often as unpredictable as they are inevitable.
