So I have this ADORABLE shy little man stop in today for lunch with his mom......he is VERY mature for his age and so I sat them at their table and started my SPIEL.......welcome to Le Cellier. Like my home country of Canada......our restaurant is organized into provinces and territories......today your sitting in.............blah blah blah.....so I ask where they are from and if they were having fun.....he BLURTS out.....my dad died!! HOLY COW!! BLOWN AWAY by this random comment......so I lean down....tell him I am SO terribly sorry to hear that.....I had someone special pass away too.......he asked WHO it was and if it was my DAD.....I tell him no....my brother Mark died about 6 years ago now......not the same but that I missed him terribly and it hurt alot!! So I asked him how he was doing.........he told me he was OK and that he was gone for about a year!! I told him he was a special little guy, I ran to get him a special PIXIE DUST pin and when I returned I asked if he went to the parks alot.......since he lived in Tampa.....he told me he LOVES Magic Kingdom.....but since his father died he didn't DO much....I asked him if he would like to go on a DATE with me to MAGIC KINGDOM cause that ALWAYS helped me when I was missing my brother!! He screamed YES of course.....I told him I could get him into the parks for FREE if he asked his mom to drive him to Disney for the day.....he put on his special PIXIE DUST pin and told me he would LOVE to spend the day with me. I gave him my email address and told him to email me and when I had a day off I would take him!! I was BAWLING of course by this point.....( SHUT UP MY ORILLIA FAMILY OF FRIENDS) and when he left he actually tried to slip me a $5 because he only had that much and he RELALY LIKED ME ALOT......I told him to SAVE the $5 for when we go to the park......I am in LOVE with this little boy!! My heart was SO full.....that was MY magical moment for the day....they don't ALWAYS have to be for the guests you know!! I am SO blessed to be here.....to be able to share moments like these..........
THANK YOU MARK for making me remember that I have to live my life to the FULLEST!! That was for you SKIPPY!!
