A woman’s TikTok video is capturing attention after she tried to find the family of a man who sat next to her on an international flight.
Kimberley Hill said she was traveling from Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, to Indianapolis, Indiana, when she sat down next to a kind man.
Hill told Fox News Digital via email that the man, named Pat, deserved attention after he spent the majority of the flight “raving” about his family.

“I flew American Airlines and found my seat first, and then he was one of the last ones to board. I am a solo traveler, so I’ve become a social butterfly with people on airplanes every time I travel,” Hill said.

She added, “The flight attendant had asked me to put up my bag and rather than me trying to get out into the aisle, he was already on the aisle seat, so he offered to put it in the overhead bin for me.”
From there, Hill said, the two began talking since the flight had been delayed.

Hill said, “What stood out the most to me, about the way he was talking about his family, was the genuine love that was pouring out for all of them.”
The encounter appeared to stick with Hill, who then made a TikTok video to try and get in contact with Pat and his family the following day.

“If your name is Tanya and you have a husband named Pat from Waco, Texas… I just want you to know that your husband loves you so much,” she said in the TikTok video, adding, “He could not stop raving about you and your children.”
“He’s one of the good ones.”

Hill told Fox News Digital that she felt the need to post the TikTok video because she had “seen so many people making videos where they caught someone’s husband cheating on them” and felt that “someone like Pat deserved more attention than the cheaters.”
Hill said that at the end of the flight, Pat got up, shook her hand and told her to have a good life.
“He could not stop raving about you and your children.”

She said, “Sometimes you can just feel someone’s aura in the nature of how good they really are. I think his character truly showed what a good man he was, and I just wanted the world to see that he was a good one.”
