The other day I posted “Today’s Challenge “
Be the cause to brighten someone’s day...
Little did I know I would be the cause to shed light for someone that day...

A couple came to my restaurant to enjoy some lunch
But to our surprise it was more then just a meal
We all got to talking, it was their first time here
Their son was in ICU at the hospital down the street
Immediately we recognized who they were taking about
Their son and his fiancé were in a motorcycle accident
Unfortunately, she did not survive
He was flown to the hospital, he was more then just broken inside

His parents told us that all he wanted after his 4th surgery so far
That all he wanted was a burger from Red Robin but it was too far
So we decided we would make one for him here
As close to the burger he wanted from Red Robin

I said to our waitress  
“I would like to pay for their meal”
She responded “I would like to as well”
So my husband, the waitress and I
Chipped in together and pay for their entire meal

When Kim (the waitress) had gone out to their table and told them they were good to go
In such disbelief the woman said “that’s not necessary, no”
We insisted we would pay for them, it’s the least we could do
They couple broke down crying and were so grateful to us ( more then we knew)

The next day, the woman came back to get another burger for his son
She explained to us that he absolutely loved his food
Saying “it was the best **** burger he has ever had”
Even though it’s not on our menu
We made it for you
We have now dubbed it the “Jason Burger” just for you!

Even though it wasn’t much
We felt we did good
Bringing light to someone’s day
Even if it was in a little way
          

         Challenge accepted
             Challenge accomplished

Please keep Jason and his family in your prayers
His body is literally broken and so is his heart
When I wrote that challenge that morning
I didn’t know my closest friends and I would the ones to find light in a dark place and bring joy to their hearts
