Well, that was, what I'm guessing may be, the first of many inaccurate first impressions I'll have this trip. The crying little girl was laid down in the seat, set up with a pillow and blanket, and has not woken up once. We are 1 hour out of Amsterdam. The mom, rushed to sit down before the plane took off, got her daughter situated, got some luggage rearranged, then finally settled in herself. Not long after she relaxed (looking tense and upset the whole time) she began crying :( She cried on and off throughout the flight. Quietly and to herself, but still so upset. I am a terrible person! I was all selfish about not wanting them to sit by me and they proved me wrong by being silent and having more to worry about than a dumb seat. I was never able to ask the mom what was wrong. The time never felt right. But I prayed for her and her situation, and hope she will be comforted and it will work out.
The sun is rising outside, although I can't see it because most people have their windows closed. Breakfast was just served. It will be interesting to go into one of the most basic living environments I've experienced in my life right after being in one of the most plush situations. I think it is raining in Amsterdam, but I'll put my rain jacket on and be ready to go!
I watched the movie “About Time” on the flight earlier and it was SO GOOD!! I really want to watch it with Connor <3 it reminds me of him in some ways.
I'll try to get a picture with my flight neighbor. Talk after Amsterdam!
