Today is my birthday… and I’m spending it here, in the cockpit of a plane.
I am a pilot. It’s more than a job — it’s who I am.
My life has been dedicated to the skies, to every flight, to the thousands of passengers I’ve carried: children returning home, couples reuniting, dreams taking off.
But today, a thought struck me: when this plane lands, no one will be waiting for me at the gate. I have no wife, no children. My family lives in the clouds — in the memories of every journey and every soul I’ve transported.
So tonight, all I have is this uniform, this sky… and maybe, if you don’t mind, your blessing.
Because sometimes, a simple “happy birthday” can mean more than any destination. ❤️✈️
