The weirdest "thank you" I've ever received (it happened at 30,000 feet) Red-eye flight to Boston. I'm in seat 32B. The one that doesn't recline next to the bathroom. I'm wearing my DearPersonCo hoodie because it's cozy and flights are freezing. About an hour in, flight attendant taps my shoulder. "Ma'am, would you please come with me?" I'm thinking I'm in trouble. Did I accidentally take someone's seat? Is my bag too big? She walks me to first class. Points to seat 2A. "This gentleman would like to speak with you." Guy in a full suit, working on a laptop. He goes: "I walked past you during boarding. Read the message on your hoodie." "Dear person behind me, the world is a better place with you in it." He paused. "My daughter's been struggling. I've been so focused on work I haven't been present. Your hoodie reminded me what matters." Then he says: "I'd like to swap seats with you for the rest of the flight. You should be comfortable while wearing a message like that." I tried to say no. He insisted. We swapped. I spent the rest of the flight in first class because of a simple hoodie. Before we landed, he showed me his phone. He'd sent her a message: "I'm sorry I haven't been there. I love you. Call me when you wake up." But here's what got me thinking. What if I wore something else that day? What if he never looked up from his laptop? What if his daughter never got that message? That was eight months ago. Since then, it's happened three more times. A barista at Starbucks. Wrote "thank you" on my cup and said she'd been having the worst week. A woman at Target. Tapped my shoulder in the checkout line. She just said "thank you for wearing that" and walked away. A man at my son's soccer game. Walked up to me after and said, "I needed to see that today. More than you know." Different people. Different places. Same thing. And here's why I'm telling you this. I didn't have to say anything. I didn't have to do anything. I just wore it. DearPersonCo was founded after the co-founder lost her sister to su!cide. Every sale supports mental health nonprofits. I bought mine because I liked the message. I didn't know it would actually help someone. You never know who's behind you. You never know who needs to see it. Check it out at DearPersonCo while they're still in stock. Wear it. You might save someone's day. https://dearpersonco.store/products/the-dear-person-hoodie
