The waiter brought French the salad and bread sticks but what he did next earned French’s thanks.  He told French to eat while he feed baby Ellees.

“This melted all of us and this is what we need more of! He fed her I ate my salad and bread sticks and that milk on the floor got cleaned up after we left because he just understood!” French stated in the post.

French goes on to say that the waiter didn’t even know what the family had been through during the day; that he was just be kind to them.

“He didn’t even know what we had went through that day and showed us love an understanding- not irritated that I had made a mess an(d) my baby was screaming,” she says.
