My daughters and I were in Applebee’s where we noticed a table with 3 moms and their young kids. The kids were upset because they were hungry and the mom’s were pretty stressed as well. I stopped and asked if everything was alright and found out they were all single moms, one who had 5 kids and was recently widowed. Being a single mom at one time we connected immediately. Before leaving I realized that I had 3 gift cards to Caribou that were purchased earlier for an office party. I took the cards out and gave them to the moms.
A few weeks later while at the mall, one of the ladies approached me She said that she had been looking and asking everywhere to try and find me so she could thank me and tell me how much it meant to them. We exchanged phone numbers and are now connected on Facebook.
