Dear Sarah, the Chili’s waitress who expressed gratitude for my decision to breastfeed in public,
“I witnessed you feeding your baby, and I want to commend you. Your courage to breastfeed in public is truly admirable.”
You might not realize it, but that encounter reinvigorated my faith in humanity. You had no idea that we had traveled 40 miles to the nearest grocery store or that the two-hour drive was part of our monthly shopping adventure. Our little one hadn’t nursed since we left home that morning, and this trip served as a family outing for my husband and our three kids. At that moment, my spirits were low, especially after encountering less-than-friendly fellow shoppers.
Yet, there you were on that Sunday afternoon, greeting us with warmth. Your service was impeccable. After our meal, you approached our table and thanked me for breastfeeding my baby in public. I listened, amazed, as you shared how you noticed me feeding our little one shortly after we sat down. You expressed pride in my choice to do something so natural, yet often controversial. You mentioned how disheartening it is to see negative posts about public breastfeeding on social media, and then you thanked me once more. I was genuinely taken aback.
Your words exhibited a level of grace and insight far beyond your 18 years—something I would expect from someone much older. Earlier, I had an encounter with an elderly gentleman who met my smile with a curt, “I was here first,” rather than a friendly exchange. That interaction left me feeling disheartened, especially since I expected more courtesy from my generation.
But then you came along, thirteen years younger than me and without children of your own, taking the time to express your pride in my choice to breastfeed in public. Instead of me thanking you for your excellent service, you were the one offering gratitude. Unbeknownst to you, you brightened my day, lifted my spirits, and rekindled my faith in humanity.
So, thank you, Sarah, the Chili’s waitress who appreciated my public breastfeeding.
Warmly,
Your grateful customer, Terryn
