Dear Sarah,
I wanted to take a moment to express my heartfelt gratitude for your kind words during our recent visit to Chili’s. When you approached me and said, “I saw you breastfeeding your baby, and I just want to say, I’m proud of you. Thank you for being so brave,” you unknowingly lifted my spirits and renewed my faith in humanity.
You likely weren’t aware of the context of our day. We had traveled a long way—40 miles from the nearest grocery store—and had been on the road for nearly two hours just to do our monthly shopping. Our little one hadn’t nursed since we left home, and this outing was more than just grocery shopping; it was a family date for my husband and our three kids. I was feeling a bit overwhelmed from the day’s events and the less-than-friendly interactions I had experienced earlier while shopping.
Yet, when you greeted us on that Sunday afternoon with your sunny demeanor and efficient service, it made a world of difference. As we wrapped up our meal, I was taken aback when you approached our table to thank me for breastfeeding in public. Your words were not only encouraging but also resonated deeply with me. You shared how you felt disheartened by the negativity surrounding public breastfeeding on social media, and it was refreshing to hear such wisdom from someone so young.
It was in stark contrast to my encounter earlier with an older gentleman who had responded to my smile with a curt remark about being there first. I had anticipated a friendly exchange, but instead, his reaction left me feeling disheartened. I often hear my generation criticized for being entitled or rude, but here you were, who is thirteen years younger, showing kindness and understanding that truly brightened my day.
Thank you for being a beacon of positivity. Your thoughtful gesture reminded me that there are still compassionate people in this world. You not only made our day better, but you also restored my belief in the goodness of others.
So, to you, the Chili’s waitress who acknowledged my public breastfeeding, thank you once again!
Warmly,
Your grateful customer, Anna
