The kindness of strangers

[indigo_rose99]

I lost my phone in my local airport.

My panic attack went through full visualization of trying to navigate a strange city with no GPS or paper directions. Much less, how to connect to everyone outside of the hotel? But mostly being lost.

I was going to charge it before getting onto the plane. But when I tried to pull it out of my pocket, it wasn't there. I remember using it in my seat, just before the bathroom. .... Nothing at the chair.

In the busy women's bathroom, I asked a stranger to call me. I picked poorly, but another woman volunteered.

And my watch started vibrating. "I'm in range!" But still had no clue where to look. 

That was when another stranger stepped out of a stall and said "Someone's phone is ringing!" She was holding my phone.

I'm now weak with post-panic.

Ugh! Glad there was a happy ending!

I'm glad that you remembered before getting on the flight. I'm glad that you could retrace your steps. I'm incredibly glad and relieved that two strangers were able to work to return your phone to you.

I hope your flight is entirely event-less now.
