On Saturday, Grady (my 3 year old) and I went to the pool. Unfortunately, we got some yucky weather and decided to try to sit it out under the pavilion. There was another Mother/Son team there next to us. The little boy got a pack of skittles out of the vending machine. So, of course Grady wanted some. I explained to him that Mommy didn't have anymore change becau...se she gave it all to him to have THREE GUMBALLS 5 MINUTES BEFORE GETTING TO THE POOL (haha) He got a little butt hurt, but surprisingly didn't pitch a fit. All of a sudden, the little boy brought Grady $1.25....it's a good thing I had on sunglasses because my eyes filled up with tears. I looked at the mom and said "Thank you SO much. That is so sweet of you, but you really shouldn't have". She said, "trust me, I understand how it is with kids".
Simple acts of kindness warm my heart and make me want to Pay it Forward.
I never thought $1.25 would make me SO happy and have Faith in this World we live in.
Thank you to the lady with the awesome accent and fabulous haircut. You put a huge smile on this Momma's face..and yummy treats in my son's belly.
