Well, you didn't know everything when you claimed your seat, so don't be too hard on yourself. And if the stewardess* didn't mention the circumstances to you (they often know this stuff) before takeoff, the best you could have done was to offer to trade back once you figured it out.
To atone, maybe make a donation to the local pediatric cancer center? Or check with the local ACS chapter to see if they have a generic winter gift-giving holiday party for kids with cancer and their families (the one in Podunkville does), and pony up some of your ducats to buy toys for Santa/Hanukkah Harry/Solstice Person to hand out at said party.
*I know. I'm working on it.
