It was 22-year-old Nianni Rudder who attended Courtney when she needed assistance. After being asked for a to-go box, so that Courtney could finish her meal with her daughter outside, however, Nianni refused.
“She really said NO,” Courtney said.
Courtney was shocked. Well, that was right up until the moment Nianni continued and revealed her true intention.
As per reports, Nianni replied: “You’re going to go sit down and enjoy your dinner and I will be there to sit with her!”
The waitress then proceeded to sit down with Harlynn, feeding her caramel ice cream whilst Courtney finished her meal in peace. The mom was so touched by the random act of kindness from a stranger, that she shared her experience in a post on Facebook.
“Girl, you will never truly know how appreciative I am for tonight,” she wrote. “I seriously admire you, Not only because you took the time to bribe my bratty little human with sweets so I could eat but because you are so so strong! I know your Mom is looking down from Heaven with the BIGGEST smile and so incredibly proud of the woman you are.
“I aspire to be the go getter you are and like I told my dad on our way home it has to take someone with a strong heart and mind to do what you do bc I know I couldn’t!”
As for Nianni, she insists that the act was no big deal.
“I just didn’t want her to leave,” she explained to TODAY.
“She came out to enjoy a meal with her family, and she should be able to do that. I didn’t think she had to leave or go sit in the car to eat the food because her baby was fussy.
“They’re little kids,” she added, “that’s just what they do.”
It may be ‘what they do’, but that doesn’t mean Nianni didn’t go above and beyond where most people would have simply fetched a box. We think the world needs more people like this compassionate 22-year-old!
