Fast forward to Magic Mike. I'm seated, and three very pretty sorority-like ladies sat down in the seats next to me. I made a joke to the one sitting next to me that we needed 3D glasses. We got to chatting and I told her about my drama last night. Not really specifics, just that I was sad and needed a good stripper movie.
Fast forward to the end of the movie. The check came (this was a dinner/movie place), and on my check were three words that made my eyes well up with tears. "Thank Your Friend!" She paid for my dinner! I turned to her, jaw dropped, and she said, "It was me. Girlfriends gotta help each other out." I couldn't believe it. I gave her a big hug and tons of thank yous. I was just speechless. Crying and speechless.
I drove home, still feeling empty inside, but refreshed to know that there are still wonderful people in this world.

What a great story. I'm sorry about your break-up, but sometimes you know it's the right thing to do. Hope you're feeling better soon.
ReplyDeleteThat is really neat, considering all that has happened since you texted me. I am glad those girls were able to cheer you up, not that a little "Magic Mike" didn't help as well!! You will have to fill me in on the details....
