As I walked around Costco today worrying about money and trying to justify what I was buying I has no clue that I was about to receive a seemingly small, but really huge miracle. I got in line to pay and started chatting with the nice lady in front of me. My boys always seem to attract attention with their bright smiles and happy faces. We talked about them for a few minutes and then she asked about their Dad. I told her he was in TX at Basic Training for the Air Force and it'd be awhile before we'd see him again. She said to tell him thank you for her, and that she truly respected those who choose to serve our country. It was then her turn to be rung up. Then the older couple behind me started to talk to me about the boys. When it was my turn, she hastily said goodbye and practically ran away. The cashier rang up my groceries and then handed me a receipt and told me that the lady before me had paid for my things. I immediately started crying in the middle of the store and the poor cashier had no idea what to do. And Tristan, as he often does, made us all laugh. As I was crying and the cashier was stuttering, Tristan said loudly "it's ok, she cries a lot, Daddy's gone." I love that boy. And I truly hope that wonderful woman goes straight to Heaven. I didn't get a chance to thank her, but I wish I could. It means so much to me.

That made ME cry! Amen for miracles. I'm glad some people can hear God's promptings and I hope I can get better at it.
Oh and yay for Tristan saving the day! He's so cute!
It made me cry too. What a wonderful woman. Hope you're doing all right. :)
I am crying right now too and trying to type this trough tears is hard. I am proud of you Susan you are amazing and you will get through this like you have things in the past and it will make you an even stronger and more amazing women (if that is even possible your already so dang amazing) I love you and your little family and sweet little Tristan. I wish I were there to give you a hug but it sounds like the Lord is taking good care of your little family.
Oh my goodness!!! That is the sweetest....ever....I'm so glad you're being blessed!!
Susan, You are awesome. When Nate and I got married, he got deployed for a year and half. It stunk!
We definately became a stronger couple. We didn't have children, I can't imagine how hard it would be to always hear them ask about daddy. Hang in there. There are alot of people supporting you. That lady at Costco was so sweet. I think you will find you will have more experiences like that.
I'm crying too! I told Steve after I read it and we both love that woman now! I'm so glad Heavenly Father is taking extra care of you and your family through sweet angels like her!
So beautiful. Thank you for sharing.
What a great story. Be sure to write it down. You deserved a break!
What a wonderful and kind woman. It is nice to see these little acts of charity and kindness going on. Especially to those who really just need a break every now and then. Hang in there, and I hope time goes by as quickly as possible so you are reunited with David soon!
Okay, okay--I'm totally crying. What a sweet, sweet, experience. What a wonderful angel in disguise. I love you guys! Thanks for sharing.
That's so cool! I love that instead of saying, "Oh, tell him thanks for serving our nation," and calling it good, she actually did something about it. Maybe someday I'll be like that.
I believe there are angels among us. Sent down to us from somewhere up above, they come to you and me in our darkest hour, they show us how to live, they teach us how to give, they guide us with the light of love. I am so glad that you are being watched over in your time of need. I hope you will continue to be blessed. Love you!!!
Oh my...I couldn't comment for a few minutes because the tears wouldn't stop. What a special woman! It is so wonderful that Heavenly Father sent her to you. He loves you and will make sure you are taken care of. Keep him close. Let's get together!!! Love you!
I miss you too! I love you and I love your little boys!
Wow thats so nice and awesome. Good luck to your husband you'll be in our prayers. I'm sorry that's gotta be hard. your boys are growing up wow kids grow so fast.
Tristan- what an angel. You know that we always called David our little peacemaker. I think Tristan has LOTS of his daddy in him. What a sweet boy, and what a gracious woman. I hope to be that lady someday. She makes me think of the Savior is a very tangible way. :)
