Need more people like her✨

As my son and I went on a date yesterday, the lady that was sitting next to us approached me two times.

The first approach, she said “excuse me, I think what you’re doing is cute. My son & I go on dates as well, he’s now 18 & he’s here with me. Seeing you brought me back so many memories.”

— Before continuing, yesterday when I woke up, I was very much struggling with getting out my bed, & do things throughout my house. I had a pain in my head, felt like a headache & a migraine but it wasn’t, it was more of a pain shooting through my brain. I felt the pain more on my left side, coming/going to my left eye. As the day went by I tried to go to sleep & See if my mood would improve, but it didn’t. I told myself, how much i wanted to give up, & how much i am ready to just quit! motherhood isn’t easy, & i do everything myself. as my son gets older he’s requiring a lot more things, asks a lot more questions, has concerns, wants to have siblings, wants to have a big family, wants somebody his age he can bond with & etc. Throughout the day he asked me why “dad” doesn’t do this, that & the third. **he’s supposed to see his dad every other weekend per court orders, but on “dad” weekend his grandma (dad side) is the one to pick my son up, & sometimes “dad” doesn’t come around to see him, & if he does he is only spending a few hrs or less w him. i haven’t removed him out completely because this is not what i ever wanted, nor do i want to hear in the long run oh you kept him from me/us**

Anyways, around 5-6pm something in me said get up get in the shower. I got in the shower, got us ready & left. We went to the car wash, then we went to Texas Road House.

The second approach, the lady said “I wanted to do something nice, as God has spoken to me. You’re doing great, you have to keep pushing. Sometimes all we need is words of encouragements.” I immediately started to cry (mind yal the restaurant was FULL). As the tears were rolling down my face, the lady says “let me give you a hug” I opened my arms & received the hug, & let some more tears come out. My son doesn’t like to see me cry he started to worry, the lady & her son told my son, “she’s ok”. She then gave me the receipt & said i’ve paid your ticket. Again, sometimes all we need is word of encouragement. i said “thank you for this, i really needed this. Thank you so much.” I was in complete shock. Before they completely walked away & left she said “God bless you all”. As they are leaving her son tells my son, “take care of your mom little man” “God bless yal” & as i hear him say that i cried some more😂😩.

Moral of my story is, be nice to people out here. We don’t know everybody stories. We don’t know what they go through. I prayed from the moment this happened to me, as soon as we got in our car, i prayed for her & her son & thanked God so much & so many times.

All we need sometimes is words of encouragement. 🩵
