Hat Did Not Go Unnoticed

Last Tuesday (July 12th) my ex took the kids to see the new Transformers movie in Sackville. With time to kill before the show, my boys decided to run into a sporting goods store. While there the younger of the two (11 yrs) decided he wanted to purchase a ballcap. However, when the cashier rang it through, he found out he did not have enough money on his debit card. The man standing behind him in line BOUGHT him the hat!

I just wanted to give a public shout out and THANK YOU to that gentleman. I have no idea who you were, and most likely will never know, but in case you see this, I wanted you to know that his mother (me) was SHOCKED that you did that. Pleasantly so, of course. You made a little boy VERY happy that day. Although, had I been there… I wouldn’t have let you.

Thank you, sir. I appreciate your kindness towards my son. And he thanks you for the hat. —Hat Mom
