A Childs Laughter

I was going through a rough break up at the time, it was a Friday night, and mustered up the energy to go out for dinner (by myself - again). As I sat at my table, probably feeling sorry for myself, there was a family of 4 sitting behind me with two children ages about 5 and 7. This family was very engaged with one another and both the children were belly laughing. The sound of their heartfelt "roars" made me smile from the inside. That family will never know how they changed not only my evening, but my outlook moving forward. If I hadn’t made the effort – I would have missed the moment.
