Remember that there is still good in this world

My girlfriend (Ashley McIntyre) and I went to Lucio Restaurant for prom night.
I was in my tux, top hat, white gloves and cane. Ashley was in her stunning princess dress.
We ate a three-course meal and it was to die for. At the end of the meal I was expecting a huge hole in my pocket. That morning I cashed my two-week paycheck just for prom.
At the end of the meal our server came to us and told us that the couple that was sitting next to us had paid for our entire meal. I was shocked!
I think that is an amazing thing that happened. I want to personally thank that couple. I wish that they had still been at the restaurant when I found out. Thank you couple that helped us! You remind me and everyone reading that there is good in this world. I will remember to pay it forward and please, everyone reading, pay it forward.
Remember that doing good will always come back to you.

This story is made even more special because of what a fine young adult Mr. Jenkins is. Having organized the recent music festival as a senior project, he gave a great deal of his time and effort to his school and the community with that event. This young man is obviously a credit to himself, his family, his school and his community. And that he took the time to write a letter to thank the pay-it-forward kindness makes it even more uplifting.

What a wonderful letter! We need to all be more kind and loving towards each other.
This was a special treat for teenagers heading for Prom.
