A Random Act Of Kindness

I just have to blog about this, as it has often been said that there isn't enough of kindness and people don't take the time out to help or recognize one another.

I went to dinner tonight to the local Chinese restaurant I have been going to for years and behind me was a Mother with her 7, yes I said 7, adopted disabled children. The children ranged in disablilities and ages from 5-14 and everything from being blind to emotional disorders. This family does come in regularly and usually Dad is with them too but tonight he wasn't able to be there for whatever reason. As usual they had their dinner and although you knew there were children there, they were really well behaved and certainly you would never know there were 7. The woman who works there had filled me in as to what was about to unfold which is why I'm able to share this tonight :wub:

At the next table there was another Mom with a little girl and as they ate their dinner and you could see that she was impressed watching the table with all the children. When she was done with her meal she went over to the other Mom and told her I want you to know that there should be more people in this world like you, you are a wonderful person and have a beautiful family B) . She then proceeded to leave to pay her check and told them she wanted to pay for the other family's dinner too :P , and she did. She told them not to say anything to her till she was done with her meal but she just was so in awe with them she needed to do something.

When they were done with the meal Vicki was wrapping up the remainder of their food to take home, she shared that the check had been taken care of already. I thought the woman was going to cry as she couldn't believe that a total stranger would do that for her. It's nice to know that there are people out there like this, I thought this was so heartfelt that I needed to share it. Thanks for letting me :yeahrite:

Susan, thanks for sharing...it's nice to hear such positive stories because I work in the Children and Family Services field and it's heartbreaking to see so many in foster care.
