Kindness and disinterested deeds have become so rare today that each of them causes a public outcry. A touching incident occurred at McDonald's. Mother and her son ordered breakfast, but when they went to the window to pay, they found that their bill had already been paid. This was not just a pleasant surprise. A touching, kind gesture showed both that you need to cherish every moment that they can spend together so far.
Background
Last Sunday, Heidi Gofort and her son ordered a burrito for breakfast. They were in a car, there was a lot to do, so I had to save time. A surprise awaited them when paying the bill. The waiter simply handed them a paid check, on which was a small note. “My son is in the Air Force. I can’t buy him breakfast, so let me pay yours. Have a nice day!"
A gift from a stranger
They were both a little puzzled by the situation. First, Heidi re-read the note several times and asked the waiter if there was any mistake. Perhaps the gift in the form of a free breakfast was not for them. But the employee only confirmed that an unknown woman volunteered to pay their bill.
Heidi did not know this woman, but was touched by her gesture. She thought she would feel when her son would have to go to work or leave for work. Therefore, she decided to share the good deed of a stranger on Facebook.
Touching gesture
Heidi later recalled that what had happened touched her. She felt the longing of an unknown woman for her son. How did she need to throw out somewhere her care that she decided to make such a gift to strangers.
On his blog, Heidi notes that she is praying for her son so he soon returns home. He was lucky to have such a loving mother. And of course, she did not escape the thought of a possible separation from her child. He is growing, and every day he has more and more things to do.
Answer from a stranger
A message in which Heidi so colorfully described a simple but humane act by an unknown woman found his addressee. Karin Sherm Hill, who gave them a gift that Sunday, saw him and answered in private messages. She wrote that she did it with pleasure, but did not advertise the act, so as not to embarrass them and not cause a desire to refuse.
Karin shared her joy. Her son had only 17 days left until the end of basic military training, and soon they will see each other at graduation.
Public opinion
The blog has gathered a lot of comments. Many wrote that they cried like children, because the love of her son inspired this woman to do good deeds. Although Carin did not save the world, she made the two people morning a little better. And people, reading these lines, begin to wonder: what can they do to decorate the lives of loved ones or not really people.
The post touched several other parents and close military men who joined the comments under the post. They wrote that the act itself is simple and understandable, but at the same time priceless. By this, Karin reminded everyone that there are good people in the world.
Instead of a conclusion
This story in itself is simple and unpretentious, but it touches on many complex topics. Parenting is not an easy task, because they need to be given much more than survival lessons in the modern world. It is necessary to teach them attentive and respectful attitude to elders, to parents who give them all the time and effort, and then until the last day with excitement follow each step in their big adult life.
Finally, this action teaches you to start small. If you want to make the world a kinder place, you do not need to wait for incredible opportunities that will allow you to turn it over.It is enough to do what is in your power, and this will launch a wave of good further.
