Xylene dropped him off at the airport and told him she was going to Albuquerque. To the dad’s surprise, she was the co-pilot of his flight.
The dad, who wasn’t expecting to see her on the same flight, was shocked to hear her voice when she came to welcome the passengers on board.
He raised his head up and couldn’t believe it was her daughter.
“What are you doing here? You tricked me,” he said to Xylene.

She took a moment to introduce him to the other passengers and expressed her gratitude to him for his hard work and unwavering support.
Xylene said she wouldn’t have come that far without him. The proud father stood up and took pictures of the beautiful moment and then hugged his daughter.
She said she hopes he enjoys the flight as much as she enjoys having him onboard.
“My Dad came to the United States as an 🇹🇹 immigrant with dreams of becoming a neurosurgeon. He worked incredibly hard, earning his bachelor’s degree and attended medical school. Unfortunately, due to financial difficulties, he couldn’t complete his lifelong dream.
“When I began my career, I faced similar financial challenges. No loan provider would accept me, and I started to lose hope of becoming a pilot. This broke my dad’s heart, seeing me struggle just as he did.
“Despite not being able to pay my way through school, my dad went to great lengths to find a solution. I thought he was crazy, but he was really just crazy for me, willing to do whatever it took to help me achieve my dreams.
“Then, a miracle happened. After endlessly trying, my dad was finally approved to be my co-signer. I want to introduce you all to my reason. I love you Dad,” Xylene added in the video caption.
