I wanted to take a moment to express my heartfelt gratitude for your incredible support during our recent visit. When you approached me with those kind words—“I saw you breastfeeding, and I just wanted to say how proud I am of you for being so brave”—you truly made my day.
You may not have realized that we had traveled about two hours for our monthly grocery haul and that our little one hadn’t nursed since early that morning. This outing was not only about shopping; it was a special family day for my husband and our three children. Given the long trip, I was feeling a bit overwhelmed and my mood had certainly dipped because of some unfriendly encounters with other shoppers.
Yet, as soon as we entered, you greeted us with a warm smile and provided excellent service. After our meal, you came over to thank me for nursing in public, sharing your thoughts on how natural and essential it is, even if it often draws controversy. Your perspective was both refreshing and unexpected, especially coming from someone so young. It reminded me of an earlier encounter with an older gentleman who, rather than reciprocating my smile, responded with a curt remark. That interaction had left me feeling disheartened, but your words brought a different light.
As someone who is thirteen years younger than me and without children of your own, your encouragement was a powerful reminder of the empathy and understanding that exists in the world. It was a moment that lifted my spirits and restored my faith in humanity. You may not know it, but you made a significant impact on my day.
So, to the wonderful Chili’s waitress who supported my right to nurse in public—thank you for your kindness and for being a bright spot in an otherwise challenging day.
Sincerely,
Your grateful breastfeeding customer,
Dr. Emily
