Every day I go on facebook and read so many posts about paying it forward and the kindness and generous hearts of people in our community, and I am blown away at how wonderful many people can be, strangers at that!

Spotted : Tonight I actually experienced what I have been reading everyday. I took my 4 year old son out on a mommy and son date, we went to his favorite restaurant- Maria's in Amherstburg. I was so proud of my little boy, such good manners and so well behaved. We ate our dinners, and a kind gentleman that sat next to us with his family made small talk with my son, which was really nice. We finished eating, and the waitress came back a few minutes later and said our bill had been taken care of. I was in shock, and was nearly brought to tears. I cannot say that that gentleman paid our bill, but I think he did. I went to the cashier, and said I wanted to pay another couple's bill,she laughed and said wow, paying it forward fast eh? I smiled and said, how can I not, this has really made my night, and has put me in the Christmas spirit. So to the person ( kind gentleman I think), thank you, your generosity has lifted my Christmas spirit, and made me realize there are wonderful people all around. Merry Christmas,

The delighted mom and son
