I was on a business trip to LA, hoping to secure a promotion by presenting a project to investors.
My mom, Melissa, always supported me, telling me my dad passed before I was born. But on the flight, I met the pilot, Steve, who revealed he was my father. He explained my mom had left him to protect his dreams of becoming a pilot.
I called my mom, and she admitted she left him when she got pregnant, thinking it was best. Despite the shock, Steve helped me with my meeting, knowing the investors personally.
The meeting went well, and I got the promotion. A week later, Steve and my mom reunited, and for the first time, I felt my family was complete. A routine flight had turned into an unexpected discovery that changed everything.
