When you work hard to achieve your dreams, it’s natural to want to show off your new career skills to the people who helped get you there. Anselm Winston of Miami, Florida, has been a commercial airline pilot for 10 years now, yet he never had a chance to fly with his father on board until “the stars aligned” recently. To celebrate, Anselm welcomed his dad with a very special announcement.
Standing in front of a crowded cabin of passengers, Anselm told everyone there was a VIP guest among them. He gave a brief recap of how his father started out in Kingston, Jamaica, and wound up living in Georgia.
He then struggled to hold back his emotions as he described how proud he was to finally have his father with him in the air. Later, Anselm even got to show him around the plane’s cockpit!
“Dad, I’m thankful, I’m blessed, and I hope I’ve made both you and Mom proud. I hope you enjoyed the ride,” the pilot wrote on Instagram.
We have no doubt that Anselm’s dad is endlessly proud of him! Watch the special announcement in the videos below, and don’t forget to share this touching moment.
