She prayed for all those who are willing to do something big for their parents but do not have the means, saying God will bless them accordingly.

Man flew his father for the first time

Meanwhile, Legit.ng earlier reported that as the doors to an aircraft shut and passengers got into the mood for the flight from Charleston to Miami, 34-year-old pilot Anselm Winston stood up to make an important announcement.

Looking at the curious passengers, Winston informed them that onboard the aircraft was a VIP who needed to be recognised.

He said:

“So a little bit about this VIP, he hails from Kingston, Jamaica, born in the small town of Portmore, Jamaica. And that VIP that I’m talking about is my father."
