“Today, I met an angel.
You came into the Denny’s where I work in Utah. You asked me, ‘Can I have a waitress who is a single mother?’ I thought that was a strange request, but I seated you in Crystal’s section.
You stayed there for two hours, just quietly watching people. During that time, seven different families came in to eat—and you paid every one of their bills. All together, you spent over $1,000 on complete strangers.
I finally asked you, ‘Why did you do that?’
You simply replied, ‘Family is everything… I’ve lost all mine.’
When you said that, I looked into your eyes and saw so much pain. It made me tear up, and I walked away quickly because I didn’t want you to see me cry. As soon as I got to the back, I broke down in tears.
I want you to know something: the waitress you specifically asked for—Crystal—is a single mother who had been living in a shelter with her son until she could save enough for a place to live. Your bill was only $21.34, but you left her a $1,500 tip. Because of that tip, she will move into her new place next week. Because of you, seven families ate for free. And Crystal told us that the night before, she prayed for a miracle… and then God sent you.
You left before any of us could say thank you. I hope somehow you see this message. You are truly an amazing person, and you touched all of our hearts.
Thank you.”
