To the man at Rockingham Shopping Centre on Monday who parked his little boy close to Anna's pram so they could talk and was so sweet with them both, thank you.

Thank you also for asking before handing Anna a biscuit. She loved it and we bathed her in the mothers room afterward as she was covered from head to toe in chocolate. Being a mint slice, she smelt yummy!

Thank you to both you and your partner for your cheery smiles and obvious joy in the little things of life - you made a very bright spot in an otherwise anxious day for me.

Ok, so a choccy biscuit may not be the most appropriate thing to give a 10mo but I could see that your offer was pure kindness. I even forgive you for asking if Anna was my grandaughter laughing2.gif

I hope I meet this couple again one day ...

It is lovely when you have random encounters with kind and happy people.

Should be more of it. smile1.gif
