This weekend I went to visit my son at Fort Benning with my daughter and mother. He is at basic training and it was family weekend. He loves sushi, so we found a Japanese restaurant. We probably ordered $100 worth of food and when we went to pay, the waitress said that the people at the other table had picked up or bill and they said to thank your son for his service. They were gone before I found this out, but I happened to snap a picture of my son that had one of the people in the background. I don’t know who she is, but I can tell you that it meant the world to us. We will find a way to pay it forward.
