A family in China Grove, N.C., was in for a surprise when they dined at Stag n Doe Pizza House on Friday. A mystery customer who was eating at the same establishment paid for the England family’s dinner and left a note that is now going viral. It read, “God only gives special children to special people.”
In an interview with WBTV-TV, Ashley England explained that her 8-year-old son, Riley, has special needs. The mother noted that he got rowdy during the dinner, as he has apparently had trouble in public lately.
“The past few weeks have been very hard and trying for us, especially with public outings,” England said. “Riley was getting loud and hitting the table and I know it was aggravating to some people.”
While some of the patrons were surely unsettled and frustrated by her son’s actions, at least one person showed immense compassion.
After the boy acted out, a waitress, who was tearing up, approached the family with the touching note from the mystery customer. She explained that the person had paid for the family’s meal and that he or she wanted the note delivered.

Bless this compassionate person, in the name of Jesus!
Thank you for posting. I so look forward to good news, and things like this help me remember that there are good people in the world. All I tend to see is the worst, and it often feels like it’s contagious.
I bet it's a sleepy little town.
I thought it was a part of the Lone Star State.
and people/Freepers think our country is done for and full of stupid obama voters..
Very heart-warming story; thanks for sharing it.
I would expect something like this to happen in Obama's Chicago. Or democRAT controlled Detroit. /s
Don’t forget that story (last week?) about those HS football players who walked into a closed store, and paid for their stuff before walking out.
This is awesome. I experienced something like that once. A couple picked up the meal for my entire family at Logans. They didn’t say a word till they had already left. I had 6 kids at the time. I ended up giving the waitress an extra big tip as a result.
Notice that the waitress’s name Tonya and the note are written in the same handwriting?
Maybe she wrote it down as dictated by him?
I’ve seen things like this happen in Chicago, and Detroit. So don’t be so bitter that it doesn’t happen to you.
Sure you have.
So don’t be so bitter that it doesn’t happen to you.
Bitter? lol!
I am in a position to do this for others. I certainly don't need it done for me.
People don’t seem to care.
Nice catch!! I’ll bet it was Tonya!
i would bet the person told her what to write down.
