“I took my three children to an early dinner at Stone Werks restaurant in San Antonio. We were greeted by a kind young man who took our order and had patience with my 11-year-old who sometimes stutters when ordering or talking to new people. After he left, my son said with a smile ‘Mom, did you hear our waiter? He stutters also.’ I did not even notice. Dinner was great but what happened when we left touched this mamas heart. Exiting the restaurant, I was handed a note from one of the staff who said it was from our waiter. It read,
‘Sudden emotion came over me when I heard your son stutter. I myself stutter and developed it around his age. I know how hard it can be in the beginning. I had a lot of questions that I didn’t ask because I was too afraid. If you or him have any questions, I would be honored to help make this process easier.’
He proceeded to leave his name and phone number. Ian, please know I will be calling. You have shown my son that he is not alone. I am forever grateful for your kindness.’”
Please share this story if you agree Ian’s simple gesture is priceless.
