'I think this is a reminder that there are still nice people out there,' the new dad, who had flown from Afghanistan to make the birth, says.
A National Guard sergeant traveled across the world for the birth of his son, but if it weren’t for a stranger’s “big heart,” he wouldn’t have made it after local flights were canceled because of bad weather.
“We were on the runway and they pulled the plane back due to a maintenance issue. It was delayed an hour, then an hour and a half, and then at 4:30 p.m., they finally canceled the flight,” Craven tells Yahoo Lifestyle. “Because of the storm, all the car rental places were sold out, so there was no other transport.”
“Charlene said, ‘I have to be in West Virginia anyway, no matter the weather,’ and offered to drive me in her car,” he recounts. He adds that the only payment Charlene wanted for her good deed was pictures of the baby once he got back.
