Editor: To celebrate my mother’s 100th birthday last week, my brother and I took her out to dinner as one more way to mark the occasion.
At the Flourishing Chinese Restaurant, the staff quickly realized this was a landmark event.
They, along with the patrons, offered their hearty congratulations and seemed happy to share in our celebrations.
Later, when we asked for the bill, we were told the diners who had been seated behind us had paid for our dinner.
What a delightful and unexpected gift.
We don’t know the names of these thoughtful people but would like to offer our sincere thanks for such a generous and special ending to a very wonderful day.
