The message praised the Good Morning America star and revealed that she had inspired them to pursue a career in meteorology and that they were currently in their second year at college to realize that ambition. The message also thanked Ginger for her openness in dealing with her mental health struggles and how that inspired the sender when they were facing their own struggles and feeling like a "burden".

The message will no doubt come as a joy to the popular star who had to defend herself last week after she shared a candid photo of her son on a plane.
"Dude next to me on the flight insisted both armrests were his… if he weren't so cute I would have pushed back," she joked in the caption and it appears some of her followers took the comment seriously.

Some took issue with the snap and suggested Ginger should have corrected her son and explained both armrests weren't his. Other followers then rushed in to defend the star.
"That's love, giving up your armrest!!!" one teased and: "He's so adorable," added another.
