As she broke down in the middle of the airport, God sent two strangers to comfort her. Social media is typically a place where kindness, civility, and common courtesy go out of the window. Not only that, but users on Facebook, TikTok, and Instagram can waste time endlessly scrolling through posts and videos.<\/p>\n<p>However, those platforms are also used for good at times. One young woman, Kyndra Smith, has experienced some of that kindness from social media users. In a video posted on YouTube, Smith explained how she received a painful phone call while making her way through the Denver airport. Hospital officials called her right before she was about to board a plane to see her sick mother.<\/p>\n<p>They informed Smith that CPR had been performed on her mother for 10 minutes, but there was no possibility that her mom would make it. She made the gut-wrenching decision to let her mother pass away because she didn&#8217;t want to prolong her mother&#8217;s suffering. In the middle of the airport, Smith lost it, falling to her knees and started sobbing uncontrollably. Many walked past Smith, not caring enough to stop and see what was wrong.<\/p>\n<p><iframe title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/_46lhYIfDog?si=1QFJP2i1z5DzFFyZ\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Then, something unexpected happened. Two strangers, a mother and a daughter, stopped, hugged Smith, and started praying over her. She said, &#8220;And this lady came over, and she just hugged me from above, kind of bent down, and she started praying over me.&#8221; Smith admits that while she did say &#8220;thank you&#8221; at the airport, she was more concerned about getting to her mother&#8217;s hospital room at the time. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@dr.kyndrasmith\/video\/7204512905293925678\">Now, she&#8217;s reached out to TikTok users<\/a> to help reconnect with that woman and her daughter to thank them properly.<\/p>\n<p>Over 1 million people have now watched the video of Kyndra Smith asking for help finding those special people. TikTok users started sharing similar experiences with Smith, which brought her to tears. &#8220;I would just love more than anything to get to tell them, &#8216;Thank you.'&#8221; Kyndra said. &#8220;And kind of tell them how big of a difference they made in that moment for me.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kyndra Smith was preparing to board her flight when she got a phone call delivering heartbreaking news.
