Buying entire family dinner so kind

On Friday, Oct. 17, our family of seven went to dinner at the Amante restaurant in Silver Lake. We do stick out a bit as our five children are all adopted with various needs. When we had finished our meal, we were told that another couple that had been eating there had already covered our bill. I am so very thankful for this very generous act. I hope that they see this. We can’t thank them personally, but we will say thank you by paying it forward. I have heard stories similar to this, but feel so blessed to be the recipient of such amazing kindness.
