While Valentine’s Day can be a wonderful reminder of the love you share with your significant other, it can be especially hard for those who are single or are newly single.
When Valentine’s Day was approaching, this recently divorced mother of one named Emma was understandably dreading the day, but her 4-year-old son named Max turned out to be the perfect date.
“I have always brought my son up to be thoughtful, kind, caring and appreciate even the smallest gestures,” Emma wrote to Facebook. “After a quick grocery shop, my son told me to close my eyes (which I kept partially open to see what he was up to) and he proceeded to choose me a Valentine’s card and a small teddy bear in a gift bag. My eyes welled up as we continued to shop.”
When February 14th finally arrived, Max brought his mom and date to Pizza Express to treat her with a meal that he would pay for with his jar of pennies.
“After a delicious 3-course meal, we went to pay. We were greeted with a waitress in tears who had watched our special ‘dinner date’. Looking at her eyes welling up, I also began to shed a tear,” Emma said. “She gave us our meal free of charge as a gift from Pizza Express in Torquay as she was so touched by what my 4-year-old son had done.”
“This extremely kind gesture left me crying with happiness and holding onto my son with pure joy!”
