To the woman and child who sat at table 9,
My name is Tony Posnanski.I am the manager of the restaurant you came into a few weeks ago.I was asked to talk to a table close to yours.I did and they said your child was being very loud.I heard some yelling while I was talking to that table.
When I got to your table,you looked at me and said,“Do you know what it is like to have a child with autism(自闭症)?”You were not rude when you asked the question.In fact,you were quite sincere.
In 15 years I do not have a lot of memorable moments as a restaurant manager.However,I do remember everything about the day my son was born and the day I married my wife.
I know what I was supposed to say when I went to your table.But I did not do any of that.
Instead I just told you I hoped your meal was awesome and that your meal was on me tonight.I do not think the other guests I spoke to were happy about it,but I didn’t tell them what you said to me.
You asked me a question that I did not answer.The truth is I do not know what it is like to have a child with autism.However,I know what it is like to be a father.I know what it is like to want to spend more time with his children.
Honestly,I wrote this to you and your beautiful daughter because I wanted to thank you both.
You have given me a great restaurant memory.You also taught me a valuable lesson.Sometimes doing the right thing does not make everyone happy;just the people who need it the most.
