On Nov. 4, my daughter and I had been shopping at Plato’s Closet and decided to go across the street to Berry Cherry’s self-serve yogurt bar. When we entered, the lady at the table asked if we had ever been there before. We said we hadn’t. The gentleman at the table with her said we were in for a treat.

We sampled a few fl avors and decided on our picks. When we got to the register, the cashier informed us that the gentleman behind us, the same one who had said we were in for a treat, was paying for our yogurt. We were both stunned.

Nothing like this had ever happened to either of us before. I shook his hand and thanked him, twice, and didn’t think to ask his name. So, thank you, again.

I hope he sees this and knows how special he made the rest of our day. I will definitely pay it forward.
