Some of the best connections we make in life are the ones we least expect. This is a lesson that Nicola and her child recently learned. It all started with a particularly long flight from Africa to Canada. Nicola and her little one were there on a humanitarian trip. As you can imagine, a long flight like this one can be stressful. Luckily, a grandma on their flight was happy to take her little one under her wing.
