Mason would grin proudly, as though being the son of a pilot made him part of some very special club.
Despite all his excitement, however, Mason had never actually been a passenger on a flight piloted by his own father. He had seen pictures of airplanes, visited airports, and listened to countless stories about flying, but he had never experienced the thrill of knowing that his dad was sitting in the cockpit, guiding the very aircraft carrying him through the sky.
That was something Mason dreamed about constantly.
And one Saturday morning, I decided it was finally time to make that dream come true.
I had no idea that our little surprise would turn into one of the most unforgettable moments of our lives.
