 On ‘Pay-it-Forward’ day, our family decided we wanted to pick up someones tab at the grocery store, but we didn’t know what we would say to explain it to them. We took the kids along and told our oldest to find someone checking out. I felt drawn to the first man I saw, we all agreed this was the one. It was a family with two small children. They had A LOT of items. Still not knowing what to say I went to the cashier when she rang their last item, gave her my card and told her we were paying. The mother holding the baby was confused and handed her welfare card to the cashier, her husband signaled to her to put it away. We didn’t have to say anything, the couple was deaf. We hugged and cried and left the store. It was a moment we will never forget.” — Lizbbaker
