It only took minutes for the airport to respond on Twitter, asking Madi about her mom's flight and launching what it called #MadisMomSaga.
Within minutes, a team from the airport surprised Sheila at her gate with a special goody bag and video from her daughter.
The man who presented the gifts to Sheila read her Madi's tweet, which brought tears to her eyes. The video he played for Sheila, recorded by Madi and members of the Disney program she's now a part of, brought even more.
