Unexpected reunion

I went for a Xmas meal with a couple of old friends. We'd preordered so once seated a young waitress came to check our preorder. I did notice her stumble a little when she read out my name but thought nothing of it.

She and a colleague served us through the evening. We came to settle up the bill and she runs the till. As we finish she says "You won't remember me but my mum is<insert name >".

Omg! 20 years ago on a freezing cold night her mum who was about her age now was at a meeting I was at. As I locked up and asked how she was her waters broke. Called her mum who was broken down coming to get her. So I got her into my car and drove her to hospital waiting until her mum turned up. Now the baby born that night was serving me.

As she grew up her mum used to tell her that story and she always asked what my name was so it's imprinted in her memory.

She lives with her grandma and is studying for a pharmacy degree. I use to work with one of the profs who teach her for added coincidence.

'Twas just lovely to see her. Her boss was hugging me like I was some hero. I just drove a pregnant young woman in need to a hospital 20 years ago lol

But, your act of kindness was so important! It is such a treat when someone remembers such. I was once waiting on a line to report lost luggage. A young woman was crying on the line. She had flown in from Europe and her luggage was lost, and her connecting flight was cancelled, and she had no place to stay over night. Here I was, a old man and asking if she wanted to stay overnight with my family, but then she only saw me. I explained it looked bad, but I was really innocent old man trying to help. The woman behind the counter saw and heard and said to the woman, he was my children's pediatrician, he is legitimate, so you can be secure with his offer. The woman and I were able to help the young woman reach a friend living in the city and we helped arrange transport to and from the airport so she could spend the night with a friend and return the next day to claim her luggage and catch her next flight.
