“Just wanted to share this really sweet moment I had this morning.
Today was the first time I went out for breakfast alone with my 8 week old son; I had just received my breakfast and hot chocolate when Jaxon started crying wanting his booby, so of course, I fed him, after a few minutes, this older lady walked up to me, I was scared, thinking she was gonna tell me to put my boob away. Instead, she started cutting up my breakfast for me and said: “what a good mama you are; we can’t have your food getting cold, can we.”
I honestly could have cried😍😢 loveliest lady EVER!!”
Sharing with Metro, the young mother said that in that moment she could not hold back her tears because she was emotional.
‘I couldn’t thank her enough, I was so surprised and in complete awe of her. I forgot to ask her name, I just thanked her over and over again… she just walked off like it was nothing.”
Briar really hopes that through the thousands of shares her post has been receiving, she will find the woman to show her just how far spread her good deed has gone.
