Dear Sir,
I hope this message finds you well. I want to extend my sincere apologies if my behavior seemed intrusive during our encounter at the grocery store. I was observing you and your daughter while I stood with my partner in line behind you.
As the queue progressed, I noticed your daughter, who appeared a bit large for sitting in the shopping cart. I observed her chewing on the seat belt, which, I must admit, was quite unappealing. It caught my attention that she remained silent, relying on your gentle touches to communicate her needs. These details resonated with me, reminding me of my son, Leo, who had similar habits.
I leaned over to my partner and asked, “Do you think that little girl can speak?” I was torn between my curiosity and the fear of appearing odd. My partner encouraged me to approach you, which took all the courage I could muster.
As you were about to leave, I gathered my thoughts and approached you near the exit, nervously asking, “Excuse me, could I inquire whether your daughter speaks?” You seemed taken aback, and I regretted my directness, but my interest was genuine.
“No, she doesn’t talk. Why do you ask?” you responded.
In a flurry of words, I shared that your daughter reminded me of my late son, who passed away earlier this year. I realize now that it was probably inappropriate to bring that up, but when I’m anxious, I struggle to articulate my thoughts succinctly. I mentioned that my partner and I have been donating tablets to nonverbal children to assist in communication.
You informed me that your daughter uses a similar device at school and home, utilizing the same application we employed with Leo. Despite the somber topic, you were gracious and empathetic, frequently apologizing for my loss, which I appreciated even though it was a difficult subject to broach.
I also noted that your daughter was trying to hit me during our conversation, an indication of her frustration. Your composure in handling the situation was commendable, as I’m sure your partner would have advised caution in talking to a stranger.
Thank you for allowing me to engage in a conversation about your daughter and for sharing her diagnosis with me, even though I found it challenging to spell. Your willingness to bring her out to the grocery store this weekend helped mend a part of my heart. It’s moments like these that allow me to reflect on Leo and to assist other nonverbal children, even if you didn’t require my tablets.
With sincere gratitude from your admirer in the grocery store,
Jessica
