An act of heart


I am writing this and I can't stop crying. I've been at the hospital a few days now with my 6 month old Maryam who was with born with a few health issues and suddenly things got worse, so she's getting different tests and exams. When my husband came back to the hospital today from an outing with my 3-year old, I told him I really needed a break from the hospital to get some fresh air. I drove to a nearby restaurant and sat outside enjoying the sunset and quiet dinner. I asked for the bill and the waiter gave me this note that read: "I noticed you had a Levine Children's Hospital lanyard on. I wanted to buy you dinner because I know how hard it is to be in the hospital. I wish you well. You are in my prayers". I realized I was still wearing the ID parent badge that parents wear while in the hospital with their kids. This note had me in uncontrollable tears. It absolutely blew me away. I was trying to stay strong and this sweet and giving gesture took the emotions out of me in a second. Unfortunately, this gracious person had already left the restaurant. I wish I was able to meet her and give her a huge meaningful hug. The world has some awesome people in it. Thank you. You touched me beyond words. #LCH
