Money can't buy happiness...

...but it can sure make you smile

I have a server...Nikki...that is dealing...I mean dealing...

Usually I wouldn't put someone's personal business on blast, but in this case I think she could use the prayers...like I have said before...I change names, but God will knows who you are praying for...

She lost her partner & best friend two months ago...in a very tragic way...and good old College Station was a get away for her. It is a place that doesn't feel sorry for her. It is a place that doesn't look at her and expect her to deal in a particular way...

But no matter how far away from the pain you are...it is still there...

THAT IS WHAT FRIENDS ARE FOR!!!

Two days and two months ago Nikki's friend died...and bc it is so fresh this has been a hard week for Nikki...

Today Nikki's friend Mr. Black came in to sit in her section and shine...he ate chicken strips and left his bill with another server and asked him to give it to me...

The credit card had been run for $9.73...and on the tip line was $600.00...

NO TYPO FOLKS...that man left her $600...and a note...the bottom of the card slip said...yes, this is for real...

The note attached said, "I know that you have had a tough week...I hope this makes you smile...you are a great server and an amazing person and I love you!"

That $600 didn't take any of the pain away...and it didn't aide in the mourning process...but it sure did put a smile on her face...and some bills in her pocket...

so no, money can't buy you happiness...but it sure can make you smile!!!
