Mom stunned by act of kindness at Pizza Hut (finally something good out of NC!) [View all]

http://abclocal.go.com/wtvd/story?section=news/local&id=9302645

The Raleigh woman said the past few years have been very trying for her family. She is going through a messy divorce, has had to move several times, and her college student had to take a year off from school. She said recently she found out that her 4-year-old daughter has bullying tendencies, and her 6-year-old son is living with Asperger's and ADHD.

Every Friday night, the woman takes her family on a dinner tour where they eat at a different restaurant each week. On Friday, the family went straight from daycare and after school to the Pizza Hut off Sherron Road.

It was around 6 p.m., and her son's medication had long worn off. She was left with parenting lessons she had learned from classes and reading.

She said after they were seated, she saw a young man seated alone in a nearby booth. As she would normally do, the mother apologized for how loud the children were going to be and asked him to forgive them.
