Touched By An Angel
Last night at work a girl came in and sat at the bar. She asked for a
water and a menu and eventually ordered a bacon cheeseburger which costs
roughly $12 at my restaurant. After eating for a few minutes she had
asked me for a napkin and a pen. I saw her writing on the napkin but
didn't think anything of it. When I turned around she was gone. As I
went to clear her plate I noticed that she had left a $100 bill along
with a note that read:
"Today marks my 14th day of chemo along with my 26th birthday. God's
been good to me so far, I thought I'd pass my luck on to someone else.
Have a great night!"
I have never been so touched by a complete stranger in my entire life.
About 3 months ago my own mother was diagnosed with lung cancer so this
hit very close to home. Having just completed her first 5 week cycle of
chemo I know the pain and exhaustion this young woman is feeling. On top
of the chemo, she was selfless enough on her own birthday that she gave a
complete stranger a gift.
