I remember this woman in the store who walked out with us. Eldest was chatting a mile a minute with her, I explained what was up, little boy was in the stroller at the time, and she made certain we all arrived at the van safely. Smiled, told him to be good, waved and walked away... No idea who she was. We've had others. Just not in Dr's offices. S.

But there were so many exhausting waits when he was younger, couldn't sit, was crammed into a really small space with so many other sick kids and frazzled moms---amazing I didn't catch something from the whole stressful experience!

Despite many of my blogs on staring and sometimes not so friendly folks, I have experienced similar acts of kindness on my son's behalf, and I am always moved and grateful. There are good people in this world! I love that story.

I've had people do the same thing for us, although I think it might have been because of my screaming 3 year old NT son! That’s a neat story!
