It doesn't only happen in movies...

Last night my friends and I went out to The Cheesecake Factory to celebrate a birthday. We had a great time talking and laughing like girls do and the dinner ended with all the servers singing Happy Birthday to my friend. When we got the $91 bill we began figuring out to split it up. Just as had put all our cash together, the waiter came over and said, "You're bill has been taken care, you don't owe anything for dinner." We were so confused and started asking who had paid for it, but the waiter only said that it was someone sitting close by. Later we found out that it was the gentleman sitting with his wife at the table next to ours. None of us knew him or had even seen him before and we have no idea why he was so generous to us. I mean how could he know that we were all poor wives of students out splurging for a friend's birthday? Amidst all the rudeness and unkindness that I encounter day to day, it's so wonderful to be reminded that good-hearted, generous people still exist. I can't wait to one day pass that kindness on to someone else.
