Dear Sarah, the waitress at the local diner,
I wanted to take a moment to express my gratitude for your kind words during our recent visit. When you approached my table and said, “I saw you breastfeeding your baby, and I just want to commend you for being so brave. Thank you for breastfeeding in public,” you truly touched my heart.
You may not have realized that we had traveled 40 miles to reach the nearest grocery store, making this monthly shopping trip a significant event for our family. Our baby hadn’t nursed since we left home that morning, and I was feeling stressed and overwhelmed by the long day and the interactions with some of the other shoppers. Your warm smile and attentive service were exactly what I needed.
As you cleared our plates and handed me the check, you took a moment to share your thoughts on the importance of breastfeeding in public. Your perspective—especially at such a young age—was refreshing. It was a stark contrast to the harsh demeanor I encountered earlier that day with another customer, who responded to my smile with a curt remark. I expected rudeness from a younger generation, yet you emerged as a beacon of kindness and understanding.
Your words reminded me that there is still hope in humanity, and they lifted my spirits in a way you might not fully appreciate. I left the diner feeling grateful, not only for your excellent service but also for the affirmation you provided.
So, thank you, Sarah, for your encouragement and support. You may not have children of your own yet, but your compassion and maturity are commendable. You brightened my day and reaffirmed my belief in the goodness of people.
Warmly,
Your appreciative customer, Emma
