Angels in disguise




This morning Brittan and I went to enjoy a breakfast together. We sat down, and since we are there regularly, the waitresses came over and made their usual 'fuss' over her. Then, they went on with their work. Well....Brittan immediately looked over and started 'talking' to the lady at the next table. I thought, "Ohh man, I hate it when she does that. I don't want people feeling 'obligated' to talk to her." But she was nice and paid plenty of attention to Brittan. Before she left, she came over and asked if she could sit with us for a minute. And so she did. She sat and talked to Brittan as if she knew every word she was saying, and told me that she had a 1 yr old grandson. Whenever she'd get up to leave, Brittan would fuss, and the lady would turn around and come back. Finally, before she was 'really' ready to leave, she reached down and gave Brittan a $5 bill. She said to have a merry christmas, and went on her way. I just thought that was such a nice gesture. She has no idea how much money we have for christmas. That could've been the only gift Brittan got. I appreciate people like that. So God bless the angel we met this morning.
