One Kind Person

[MartiT. 0]

I have to share this story with all of you, just because we work so hard at our job and a reward is great. Yesterday, Oct. 18th, I took 5 of my residents and my assistant to a restuarant a couple of towns away from ours. (all ladies) We were chatting and laughing and sharing stories when a gentleman approached our table, " asking who was in charge of the group?" I thought for a minute that he was going to tell us we where to loud, so I replied,"that I was in charge," This man proceeded to reach into his pocket and he pulled out a 50.00 dollar bill and stated,"put this toward your lunch tap," "My Mother is also in a nursing home and I think this is great!" We all thanked the kind man that never stated his name and before he left he came back to our table and shared his story with us. His mom was in a nursing home, he was friends with the owner, who has pasted on and he has been going there for 25 years to get his mom chicken soup that the owner kindly makes for her lunch and he goes to feed her. Telling his story he had tears in his eyes, you know what happens then, We get tears in our eyes. (THIS STORY IS GETTING TO LONG) (POINT) Kindness is still out there. I took the 50 and applied 10 dollars to each residents bill. That made them so happy. Still don't know gentleman's name but we are going to send a letter to the editor in our Daily News Paper. Thanks for listening. Marti T.
