"Dear Son, I want to thank you for teaching me a very valuable lesson in life by the great example you set.
When we were eating at that cafe in Bondi and a person who ordered his burger didn't have enough money to pay for it, without a moment of hesitation, you leant over and passed the extra $2 on the counter.
When we were leaving, you also threw a silver five-cent coin onto the pavement and said something like, 'Some kid will get a kick out of finding this.'
Last week, a young man ahead of me in the line at a petrol station didn't have enough money to pay for his petrol. I asked the cashier,' How much short is he?' She told me he had meant to put $15 of petrol in his car but had been lookng at the wrong gauge and had put in 15litres, which came to just over $20.40.
Something made me think of you and what you did that night in the cafe at Bondi. I handed the man $6. He was so surprised and said,' But why would you do this for me?'
I just smiled as I thought of you.
'Thank you, son for teaching me that 'it's better to give than receive'.
Now when I see a five-cent coin on the ground and am tempted to pick it up, I think of you and leave it there, just in case 'some kid will get a kick out of finding it'. "
Love always, Mum.
