Ms. A and her daughters handed the pre-prepared letter and a bag of snacks to the flight attendants when boarding the plane. Then, the flight attendants came to their seats before takeoff with a gift package containing a reply letter and candies. Ms. A confessed, "The flight attendant’s eyes were teary when handing over the reply and gifts," and "I was choked up too, and I thought about how much more the flight attendants must have felt."

Ms. A also revealed the reply letter she received from the flight attendants. Written on a memo pad bearing the logo of a domestic low-cost carrier (LCC), the letter read, "Thank you for the gift from our young guest. Your beautiful heart truly moved the aunts and uncles. We will enjoy the snacks. This is a small gift from the aunts and uncles. We hope you have a happy trip with your family and that next year is filled only with joyful days." The letter included smiling faces and heart shapes scattered throughout, and at the end, a four-leaf clover symbolizing good luck was drawn as well.
