The kids were little and we were pressed for time before an evening soccer game for #2 son. Went to the nearby Wendy's. Ordered for the family and when it came time to pay, I couldn't find a $5 bill that I had tucked into the diaper bag. Only had enough to pay for kids and hubby. So I sent my meal back. It was so embarrassing! There was a terrible line and I could feel 20 eyes burning a hole through the back of my head.

I took the food and sat down with the family and watched them eat. I got a fry or two for my trouble. I got up to take the baby (Emily) home so that I could fix myself a sandwich or something. Critter could go to the game with the boys.

Next thing I know, a cab driver rushed past me while the counter-girl said,"Ma'am? Here's your food." I was puzzled. She said that the man who just left had paid for it." I was in tears. Ironically, I could barely eat it. I was just too choked up.

I will never forget a stranger's kindness. Put my faith back in Humanity.

Peace,
Amy

I am a loyal follower of the "Pay-It-Forward" movement. I like to do nice things for people, but I don't tell anybody about it. Discretion is the better part of valor, cha cha cha.

I wish more people would catch the random acts of kindness bug. That is one pandemic that would change our world for the better.

Peace,
Amy
