a simple gift

I can not believe what happened to the Prouty family this last week. We were on our way back from our awesome trip to Colorado and stopped in Kansas for a late lunch. We commented on how few Pizza Hut restaurants still exist, so decided to eat there. It was about 2:30 and there was only one other family dining; a father, mother, toddler and infant (yes, it's important). Now, I'm pretty nosey(really?Yes!) so I overheard the father ask the waitress if they had any bottled water, to which she replied they didn't. Being a mommy, I knew immediately, that a)the baby was hungry and b) they were not going to feed with water from the tap. I turned and said "I have lots of bottled water...would you like one?" Now, I'm certain that because it seemed crazy the gentleman immediately said "Oh, that's okay". I turned back to my table and I could sense that the baby was not getting less hungry and that they really needed my water more than they were letting on, so just as I turned to offer it again, I heard the father say "Maam...do you mind sharing a bottle?" I said "Sure, I'll bring you two!" and went out to get them for him. I brought them back and said "Hey, we've been there, done that, so please do not even thank me...no big deal." We chatted back and forth, found out where they were from, where they were headed. Their kids were just adorable! They got up to leave and the father went up to Jayson and said "Sir?" (I have to admit, I thought he was going to ask for money, I know....embarrassing) Jayson turned and the father (whose name we know now is Eddie) says "It was great meeting you, thank you". He then went around the table and shook all our hands. What a nice guy, we all agreed and continued eating our pizza.
Not long after they left, the waitress came over and said "Just so you know, your bill has been taken care of...he didn't want you to know while he was still here."
How cool a story is that?
