Finally, a REALLY NICE STORY! Though kind of embarrassing for her son!
Sure, the mother might be awful, and that’s why her son ignored Mother’s Day….but these waitresses (pardon me, “people on the wait staff”) did do the right thing!
ENJOY!

https://tunnel2towers.org/The chief danger that confronts the coming century will be religion without the Holy Ghost,
Christianity without Christ, forgiveness without repentance, salvation without regeneration,
politics without God, heaven without hell.
William Booth“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.”
― William SaroyanThe inherent vice of capitalism is the unequal sharing of the blessings. The inherent blessing of socialism is the equal sharing of misery. -- Winston Churchill
Ignorance is not an opinion, liberals
I believe in Christianity as I believe the sun has risen; not only because I see it, but because by it I see everything else. C. S. Lewis
if my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land.

GeeeZ .... 
Always been difficult for me to show affection to people, with one exception.
Always called Mother on her day, and her b-day, and wrote her a lengthy narrative letter every week, snail mail ’cause she refused to own or even touch a computer.
Even have trouble hugging my own daughters. They plaster themselves onto me when they come to visit, but I’m just not a hugger.
So . . . all that said, one of my favoritest quotes is “the best gift a father can give his children is to love their mother.”
And I do that. Fundamental. Crucial. In fact, failing that, society breaks down . . . as we’re seeing today in many communities.
As my grandkritters enter the hormone maelstrom of puberty and become FAR smarter than their parents, I remind them all that they get one mother and she’ll be the greatest friend they’ll ever have in their entire lives. Treat her badly, and they go on my shi’ite list, not because those women are my daughters or my sons’ wives, but because they’re acting like rotten little ________s.

Nice story. It’s not about the mom, or the young boy, but about the charitable (loving) response of strangers.

“Random acts of kindness.” We occasionally hear of them but not often enough, do we? Bocopro, its sad you aren’t comfortable hugging, esp. your children. I would give anything to be able to hug a daughter than passed away almost 6 years ago. Or my mom and dad. Learn to do it now before its too late even if you feel a bit uncomfortable for awhile. You won’t be sorry. And you know what? You may actually get comfortable and enjoy doing it.

Bocopro….trust me, it helps daughters to be hugged. Trust me.
Mal, I agree about the hugging……I think it warms a kid’s soul. And I can’t believe it’s six years since you lost your daughter. Amazing…and so sad.
I hate to ‘go negative’ on this happy story today but couldn’t resist….

I don’t resist my daughters’ hugging; I just don’t initiate it. And I don’t find it unnatural or repulsive, just “not me.” I do NOT hug my grandsons, but my only granddaughter is a hugger, and I don’t deny her that.
Strangely, tho, I wrap my arms around my wife each morning as soon as she comes out of her room. And that DOES feel natural, and good. And I tell her she’s a good-lookin woman, even in those moments when she’s definitely NOT. (actually, that could be from my grandfather, who said a woman needs to be told that somebody loves her every day, and that she’s beautiful every now and then, ESPECIALLY if she isn’t).
Reckon it has to do with how I was brought up — distant mother, very busy grandmother, and the only kid in a houseful of adults during the war and its aftermath. Everybody had somethin to do, and it never involved touchy-feeley stuff. Good, Christian people. Just not a hugger family.

Yes, he’s relevant in many worlds. Not ours, that’s for sure.
Bocopro…I think how we’re brought up DOES affect us…in every way. My own Mom isn’t a big hugger. Frankly, I wish she had been. It matters, tho she’s a marvelous mother in so many ways.. And I TOTALLY don’t think it reflects on how we love …I agree with you.

The turd that has whined and complained that the old ghetto, he called “home” ( not since he became a zillionaire and moved in with MadMax Waters in Pacifica Heights all rich / white enclave ) a rundown filthy neighborhood…his old hood…was being gentrified and rebuilt from the ashes of the last section 8 dwellers, by too many whites!

And even the very conservative TV show LAST MAN STANDING, a very popular show that was cancelled by ABC until Roseanne’s pro-Trump first show did so well, might be sold to FOX but IS being resurrected. After all, if you must resurrect something, it had better be by a disgusting Conservative company, not ABC, right? 🙂

I don’t remember hugging being big in my family when I was growing up. There was plenty of love but we didn’t show it. I married into a family of huggers and. after a few years, hugging crept into my family. All of a sudden, we were hugging whenever we met.
I remember on one occasion, my parents came over for their granddaughter’s birthday and I ran out and hugged my mom. At the same moment two other cars pulled up and I ran over to hug them. I turned and saw my Dad with his arms outstretched say, “I don’t get a hug?”
I wish I could give him a hug today, but he passed in May 2017. He’s been on my mind the last few days.
