A pair of dresses was returned to a mother who needed them for her son's wedding.
Judy Ulberg works for a bridal company in New York City.
She was lucky enough to have "Blake and Company" let her borrow two dresses for her son's wedding.
Ulberg thought her luck ran out as she was headed home on the Long Island Rail Road with some extra baggage.
"I was getting off at Lynbrook and I got a phone call from work, and I left the bag on the train," Ulberg says.
The bag had both dresses, and Ulberg searched for the train in East Rockaway, but the dresses weren't there.
The next day, she was at Bridal Reflections for her daughter and the owner heard her telling the story.
That owner of Bridal Reflections saw a post on social media that connected Ulberg with LIRR conductor Christina King.
King and Ulberg were able to meet up and her dresses were returned.
"She was my lucky star that day," Ulberg says. King says there's a lot of negativity these days so it felt good to do something for somebody.
