Holy Molly..such a piece of art!
You are an artist by nature, or at least this is what I feel now after reading your story which could easily be transposed into a book or even a movie.
The way you write and share every single detail makes me have all the scene in my mind and it really moves me. From what I understood from your story, the lady wanted to remember you about your mother and to be honest I've always believed in reincarnation so if this would happen to me I would surely take it as a sign from her.
But as I've never traveled by plain, I would also prefer not to have such an experience from the very first time haha. Great job, you artist! ♥️
