And nice of Pizza Hut to share with her the way they did.

Thanks for the story!

[font color="navy" face="Verdana"]I love these stories!

If everyone who was in a financial position to do things like this actually did them, randomly, even just once or twice a year, all our lives would be so much more beautiful.

*brushing away a little tear...*

I get so frustrated with all the parents who don't seem to want to parent their children in public but either ignore them or fear being seen as the bad dad/mom. It seems rather recent to see children running and screaming in restaurants and stores, destroying things and running amok. It always seems like the calm children are the most secure and happy and is a reflection of great parenting. When I see it, I'm going to do just like Jake and maybe leave a little gift and a note. Parenting is very hard and good ones should get all the praise in the world.

My kids grew into wonderful, responsible, good-hearted adults, but we had our moments.

You're right. What an inspiration. I'm going to be on the lookout and give a hand where I can.

People are struggling so much financially that picking up the tab for a pizza dinner that probably cost around $25 can bring tears to someone's eyes. That is just so sad and puts another layer of stress on people.

I am so, so glad you shared this story that will touch a lot of hearts.

Very inspiring!
