I was catching a later flight to St. Louis, then on to
Minnesota. A couple of seats in front and the aisle over
sat a very pretty lady. She smiled back at me, I smiled
at her noticing her pretty floral dress.
The rest of the flight was uneventful, but as I was getting
off the plane I noticed her again standing by the prompters
seeing what flight she was to take and what gate. I stood
beside her looking for my gate, and flight number.

| I commented to her that I had noticed her
on the flight to St. Louis and she had on a pretty dress.
She said "Thank you", I asked what flight she
was taking? She said to "Phoenix". I looked and
she had a two-hour layover, I also had a two and a half
hours layover and asked her if she would like to go to the
cafeteria for something to eat or drink. She said "Sure".
We introduced ourselves on the way down the ramp, and she
told me that her name was "Phyllis". I laughed
and said "my name is Phyllis also".
As we sat in the booth she began telling me that she had
been told she was dying of cancer and had less than 6 months
to live. She was on her way to visit her children and grandchildren
before she began taking treatment. She then told me that
she had never flown before and she had prayed a specific
prayer. She was afraid she would get lost at the airport
and not be able to fine her way to the gate, and didn't
know what she was going to do for the two hours she was
there. She prayed, that someone would meet her at the gate
and stay with her until she left the airport. She then asked
me "Are you an Angel God has sent"? No, I assured
her I was no angel, but did God use me to answer her prayer?
Yes.
