A family struggling with a special needs child in public is undone by kindness and note of blessing by stranger.

(China Grove, NC)—When Ashley England and her family went out to eat at Stan n Doe Pizza recently, they had no idea they would leave the restaurant incredibly blessed—especially after their 8-year-old special needs child, Riley, acted up in public. (Photo Credit: WBTV-TV)
 
The past few weeks had been very hard on the family, said Ashley, noting that at the restaurant "Riley was getting loud and hitting the table and I know it was aggravating to some people."
 
Perhaps, but not to everyone.
 
Before leaving the restaurant, their teary-eyed waitress notified the England family that a "mystery" customer had paid for their meal.  Not only that, but the person had left a note of blessing they wanted delivered to the England's. It has since gone viral. (Photo Credit: WBTV-TV)
 
It read:  "God only gives special children to special people."
 
"To have someone do that small act towards us," said Ashley, "shows that some people absolutely understand what we are going through and how hard it is to face the public sometimes. They made me cry, blessed me more than they know—I felt like out of all the rude, negative comments that we are faced with, this outweighs them."
