Paid Forward at Just The Right Time


Last night at a McDonalds in Orange County (Yorba Linda) I was in line to get dinner for the family, it was "Fast Food Thursday". When I arrived at the first window the cashier told me the woman in the car ahead had paid $10.00 toward my meal. I couldn't believe it...NEVER happened before.  My mother, on the phone with me, likewise had her breath taken away by the gesture...which I could hear in her voice.

It was dark and I couldn't see who it was initially, but when I caught up to them on YL Boulevard, I noticed it was a grey-haired woman, behind the wheel of an older Toyota Rav 4...alone.  She didn't look at me as I passed by and apparently didn't want any thanks...just a kind heart helping someone she didn't even know....Happy Holidays.
