Dear Server at Perkin's on Christmas Eve morning:

I don't know what it was exactly...but between your age, looks, diminutive height of maybe* 5'-1", and sweet, gentle demeanor, you reminded me of my Mother who passed away just over 9 years ago. I was doing fine until I went to the restroom before leaving and heard some song over the speakers that just hit me and the tears started flowing. I composed myself and dried my eyes before walking out and saw you were standing near the cash register. I think you sensed I was just barely holding it together when I asked you if it was OK if I gave you a hug. You smiled and said, "Sure thing, sweetie...come here." I really appreciated it....thanks.

I love you and miss you dearly, Mom.
