Another Side of Compassion

You want stories from the road? You’ve got ‘em! In this touching episode, Marcus and The Hotness tell about a recent early morning flight and some excited passengers at the gate. Tears fall when Marvelyne overhears the bond these passengers share and immediately regrets her annoyance when she wanted to rest. The two remind us that we never really know what others are going through (or what they have gone through.)
