This is a whole story contained in one little note, and it's about so much more than a free lunch. This is what a couple, who'd gone to lunch with their one-year old child, found waiting for them when they asked for the check.
Buying a meal for a pair of young parents is a great thing to do for anyone, at any time, but it's the story behind it that really melted our heart. The couple who paid the bill were once young parents themselves, and someone once did this for them. It's a gesture of kindness from years before which has now been paid forward, and you can bet your bottom dollar that the recipients on this occasion will pay it forward again years from now. The note about their parenting skills is touching, too - it says "I see you. I know what you're going through, and you're doing just fine".
