the old lady wondered how someone who had so little could be so giving to a stranger. then she remembered bryan. after the lady finished her meal, and the waitress went to get change for her hundred dollar bill, the lady slipped right out the door. she was gone by the time the waitress came back. she wondered where the lady could be, then she noticed something written on the napkin under which were 4 more $100 bills. there were tears in her eyes when she read what the lady wrote. it said:"you don't owe me anything, i have been there too. somebody once helped me out, the way i'm helping you. if you really want to pay me back, here is what you do: do not let this chain of love end with you".

　　well, there were tables to clear, sugar bowls to fill, and people to serve, but the waitress made it through another day. that night when she got home from work and climbed into bed, she was thinking about the money and what the lady had written. how could the lady have known how much she and her husband needed it? with the baby due next month, it was going to be hard. she knew how worried her husband was, and as he lay sleeping next to her, she gave him a soft kiss and whispered soft and low, "everything's gonna be all right; i love you, bryan."
